Holiday Hit List

It’s the first of December and you’ve already had your fill of “Jingle Bell Rock.” So this year try old school hits not on heavy rotation.

Abracadabra
Put a spell on everyone with a Schylling Magic Garden Crystal Growing Set (The Toy Shop, 716 North Third Street; 267-687-3673) that sprouts a colorful landscape in just a few hours.

What a Feeling
Let them take their passion and make it happen with the classic Melissa & Doug’s Deluxe Puppet Theater (The Children’s Boutique, 1702 Walnut Street; 215-732-2661). You know, all the world’s a stage.

Waiting for the Sun
Stave off cabin fever with a Green Toys Indoor Gardening Kit (Genes, 122 South 13th Street; 215-735-4300). Keep little hands (and mouths) busy with a Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kit (Mainline Green Home, 812 Lancaster Avenue, Berwyn; 610-644-7336); sales benefit Guatemalan chicle growers.

Wild Thing
Let their imaginations roam with the Playmobil Zoo (Happily Ever After, 1010 Pine Street; 215-627-5790) full of giraffes, peacocks, and other creatures.

And make the holiday season really rock.
