Mow & Grow

Baby, it’s no longer cold outside–which means it’s time to
gear up for balmy spring weather! After months of being cooped up indoors, the
kiddies are likely itching to get outside and soak up some sunshine. So, stash those winter hats and mittens away, venture out
into the great yonder of Manhattan’s
glorious post-winter weather and put some springtime into your family’s playtime with
this fun, portable and affordable Tootle Turtle Mower from Melissa & Doug. —

Melissa & Doug have been entertaining families for over
23 years with a variety of toys, games and activities. This spring, the
toy-making duo is inspiring families to make the most of the warm weather and
turn yard-work into yard-play with their smartly designed Tootle Turtle Mower.

Ages 2 and up can keep Manhattan’s
parks and playgrounds looking green and fresh while practicing their budding motor skills with this
cheery plastic lawnmower. Designed with lots of little nuances and a jolly
aesthetic, the Tootle Turtle Mower comes with plenty of ways to keep your kiddies
engaged, including movable dials, a plastic fuel can to keep Tootle Turtle
going, a shell with room for storage and–the best part–a pull-cord that
replicates a real live motor sound!

With Mr. Sun hanging around more and more with each passing day, there’s no time like the present to head outside and play.
