There are bunches of tutorials as well as an entire
Flickr group. Basically, you create a gradient mask and apply some form of blur, and then adjust hue/saturation to make things a little more "toy-like." Here's
a link to a photoshop tutorial.
Or, if you're really lazy, you could just use
this.
One of the keys to getting the effect is to shoot from overhead, or in some way that the gradient direction you choose will simulate DoF in the shot.
If you want to go to extremes, you can create
depth maps.
I'd also recommend taking a look at the NY Times feature on
Vincent Laforet's tilt-shift photography.
