Added the beloved day of November 12, 2008

We couldn't be more delighted, as we've just started making our rounds to find the prettiest toys for the holiday season. While on our initial pretty runs this past weekend, we were quite surprised to see a few toy stores already bustling with moms and dads -- even in the midst of this fugly "economic crisis." Well, we're hopeful. Think pretty things, and pretty things will come.

Anyway, we've been rounding up a pretty list for y'all, but wanted to share a find that tickled us for its simplicity and authentic cuteness. The Safari Undercover Game is just a simple puzzle, but it's the kind that's great to rear little geniuses. Remember, the earlier kiddies master simple abstract concepts, the prettier of a start they'll have for stacking their smarts. Below is the ditty from KB Toys, where you can buy the game:

"Safari Undercover Game: Ready to embark on an undercover jungle safari? In each brain-teasing logic game, you must arrange the four jungle pieces on the animal-filled game board so that only specific animals remain out in the open. Sound easy? You'll need to stretch your spatial-reasoning and logical-thinking muscles for these wild puzzlers. Each challenge has hundreds of possible puzzle-piece combinations, but only one solution. The full-color puzzle booklet includes 48 multi-level challenges, ranging from beginner to advanced. The game board doubles as a storage case for the four puzzle pieces and 48-page game booklet, so you can safari just about anywhere! Safari Undercover Game Puzzles by Educational Insights Inc.
