But here's an opportunity that popped up in Cribsheet's in-box that we had to pass along. It reminded me of Tom Hanks dream job in Big.
Your kids could get paid to play with toys and let the folks at Creative Kidstuff know their opinion. (Well, not technically paid - but they'd get a $5 Creative Kidstuff gift card - and a chance to win a $25 ) Read the full press release below for details.
