Getting children to stay in bed can be a challenge. "Kipsy and the Magic Beans" is a bedtime sleep kit that includes a storybook to read together, a soft doll to sleep with, magic beans and incentive toys. Parents read the story and plant a magic bean under the child's pillow. The child keeps the bean warm by sleeping on the pillow overnight and in the morning -- just like with the Tooth Fairy -- the bean has magically turned into a toy. $19.95 at kipsytoys.com.
The Deedle Deedle Dees -- a band from Brooklyn -- have released a new CD called "Strange Dees, Indeed," geared to kids ages 5 to 9 who are ready to graduate from preschool tunes. $10 at cdbaby.com/cd/
