I don't usually like Disney stuff, but this is a great craft book for tiny tots! The crafts in here are very, very easy to make, and they're actually kind of cute, in an old-fashioned kind of way.

A fun game about football! It includes 2 sets of cards, instructions, a pad of play sheets, and comes in a plastic case.
I wish I knew when this game was produced! It seems to be sort of '70s looking, with kind of retro-looking illustrations of football players.
