I have 3 events coming up - Nuremberg Toy Fair (February 4-9), New York Toy Fair (february 12-14) and the Annual Meeting of the American Montessori Society (March 23-26).  The first two are my annual "Scavenger Hunt" for new toys to offer here at Oh! Toys -- the creative, the thought provoking and the unusual - whether a new twist on a classic wooden toy concept or an innovation for kids.   As always, I welcome any suggestions from customers, friends and family about specific toys and games to search out.

The Montessori event, however, is different:  Along with my friend Matthias Etter, the inventor of Cuboro and Cugolino, we will be exhibiting Cuboro to the Montessori educator audience for the first time.  This is an exciting step for Oh! Toys and Cuboro:  Many Montessori educators have commented on how the Cuboro concept fits the Montessori philosophy closely.   If you've been involved with Montessori as educator, parent or student, we'd love to hear your thoughts about Cuboro and Montessori.
