Marvels The Avengers are perhaps the most inclusive superhero team and every child or inner child can relate at least one or more Avengers member. Whether your child is into science, monsters, spies or just plain superheroes there is an Avenger for everyone. Its alright if you want to order an extra Avengers lunch bag to take to work. We won’t tell anyone.

Hooray for girls because some of the most powerful Avengers are women including the smart and cunning Black Widow and the snarky and fun Wasp. Forget Barbie, she never saves the day! When all the kids have just seen The Avengers and all the boys are playing with their new The Avengers action figures why should the girls be left out?
The Incredible Hulk – Striving For Acceptance
There are times where every kid feels like a monster. The world can be a confusing, scary place for a child. The Hulk is the ultimate outcast but he always works through his anger for the best of the team. Hulk is a great role model for children because he teaches that one must always do the right thing, even when they are angry or upset. Oh yeah and he is a big green monster. What’s not to like?
Fighting With Your Brain – The Invincible Iron Man
Iron Man and The Hulk aren’t just superheroes they also some of the Marvel world’s most brilliant scientists. Science and Math can be very difficult subjects for kids to get excited about but what’s more exciting than flying around and blasting bad guys with your uni-beam? In addition, if your child likes Iron Man and Hulk they might also be ready to read science fiction, a great way to promote reading and imagination. Pick up an Iron Man Avengers Action Figure for your budding scientist! Give them an Avengers backpack to take to school! You could even use an Iron Man lunch box to teach the science of proper nutrition! The possibilities are endless!

“My world is turning, changing each day!” – Growing Up With Caillou
One of the greatest reasons of children to grow up with Caillou is that Caillou himself grows up in the series. At first, Caillou is only 2 two years old but grows to the ripe age of four as the series continues. For a young child, Caillou is an amazing role model and one that they can honestly relate to. A Caillou doll makes a great friend!
“Each Day There’s Something New!” – Adventuring With Caillou
Not only does Caillou use his imagination to adventure and have fun, he also uses it to solve problems in the real world. Unlike other early morning cartoons Caillou takes place in a completely realistic world, which he adventures through with the power of imagination. Caillou dolls make great adventuring campaigns. Lace up your child’s Caillou shoes and head out for a grand adventure! Grab a pair of Caillou rain boots for splashing around in puddles. The adventuring spirit of Caillou is never-ending!
“With Mommy and Daddy and Finding My Way!” – Family and Friends With Caillou
Not only is Caillou a great adventurer but he is also a great son, brother and friend! Of course, Mommy Doris and Daddy Boris are great role models and often lead Caillou with wisdom and fun. Rosie, Caillou’s two year-old sister, is a great role model for older brothers. Watching Caillou and Rosie interact and playing with Caillou dolls are great ways to teach children about younger siblings. Other great characters include the kindly Mr. Hinkle and the former bully Leo. True to Caillou’s real world setting, there are very diverse characters, all of whom Caillou befriends. Everyone is Caillou’s friend!
“So Many Things to Do!” – Activities and Development With Caillou
There is so much Caillou merchandise available in our Caillou store, there’s almost no end to the number of Caillou activities! Of course, budding young minds benefit greatly from puzzles and more Caillou puzzles are available than almost any other character! For very young children there’s the Caillou Wood Peg Alphabet puzzle. For children a little more advanced there are 21-piece and 45-piece Caillou puzzles available. There is even a Caillou My First 3D Puzzle Picture Frame!
Are puzzles not for you? How about Caillou toys for family game night? Playing games as a family builds important social skills and the valuable art of sharing and waiting one’s turn. Great Caillou toys include the Caillou Logico Game, Bingo and Who What?
“I’ll Share Them With You!” – Reading With Caillou
Caillou started as a series of books by Christine L’Heureux so there are a great number of Caillou books available! Caillou adventures are just as exciting and imaginative in print! What better way to instill a love of books in your child than by sharing the wonderful world of Caillou with great books like Caillou Moves Around and Caillou Spend the Day With Me?
“Growing Up is Not So Tough” – Learning With Caillou
Caillou is a great way to teach children about daily activities like healthy eating, brushing one’s teeth and dressing one’s self. The sheer amount of Caillou merchandise available means that the imaginative youngster can help children learn just about anything. Learning about healthy eating is a breeze with a Caillou lunch bag and few healthy snacks! Caillou apparel such as shoes, sandals and even rain boots are great ways to get kids excited about dressing themselves. Other great tools are Caillou dress-up dolls and even a Caillou dress-up puzzle. At the end of the day enjoy a bath with a Caillou bath toy, and then teach your child about brushing their teeth and bedtime with a Caillou dress-up doll complete with pajamas.
