You can use both spiral art and spin art on the same paper or pick just one form of art. It is all your choice, so get creative! Moosh-Moosh Squared Moosh Moosh is well-loved in my home. I am excited about their new Moosh Moosh Squared. It is the same loved Moosh Moosh plush but now they are going to be even easier to stack. If you know my daughter, her bed is already covered with Moosh-Moosh Plushes. Cracker Barrel Magnetic Car Loader I’m in love with this toy. Cracker Barrel has the best toys, don’t they? I am a stickler for wooden toys. It combines a bit of nostalgia with such simplicity. Your little one will love playing with this big truck and the four chunky cars. It’s more than just rolling vehicles around, it is also a magnetic loader. They can pick up the smaller cars and load them onto the bigger truck. This will keep your little one occupied while helping them practice their motor skills. It’s a win-win for mom and child! Bookroo Book Subscription BookRoo is one of my very favorite subscription boxes. I can get rather overwhelmed trying to pick good books for my children. Bookroo does that job for me! All you have to do is pick the age range (between 0-10 years old) and BookRoo employees will handle picking out the books to best fit. They pick books from other parents’ suggestions on both classic and hidden gem books. The value of the books is always above the actual subscription fee (up to a 54% discount), so it is a deal for sure! The books come pre-wrapped which adds even more fun to receive the Bookroo package. Will you choose one month, three months, six months, or a 12-month subscription?! Stuck On You School Kit My daughter’s teacher asked for all of my daughter’s supplies to be labeled with her name.. including each pencil. Wait, what?! More teachers are requiring this to help children keep from taking one another’s belongings. It has worked. My daughter has yet to have to bring more pencils to school because she still has all the ones she started with. Labeling them was a pain… until I started using Stuck On You. Every item inside the School Kit has your child’s name on them. No worries of little Susie stealing a pair of scissors or Johnny taking hold of my daughter’s pencils. Cute, colorful, and secure! Check out all the products that come in this kit! Calico Critters Design Studio If you have a Calico Critters enthusiast, this accessory set is a must! We love how detailed each individual piece is.

Along with a new stuffed pal, you will find a big sequenced bow, and other treasures hiding inside the Rainbocorn. CityPASS Exploring a big city can be a thrilling adventure. Between beautiful structures, history to learn, and stunning views (especially at night), my “to-do list” when visiting has always been bigger than my bank account. I have used CityPASS in Chicago before which allows visits to some of the best attractions in The Windy City. My husband and I took a quick trip to New York City earlier this year and have plans to return. We didn’t have time to enjoy the city as much as we would like. I already have our tickets for all the places we are dying to visit together! Great thing is, with CityPASS, the tickets are 44% less than if you bought them straight up. Now, THAT is more in line with my bank account! We love using CityPASS!! The Empire State Building has been on my bucket list for years now. My husband, has been anxious to go to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. We had plans to go while we were there in February but had a family emergency that cut our trip short (the day we were to go to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum)! Among the other places, we will be visiting with city pass include the American Museum of Natural History (for my history-buff of a husband), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (which will be more up my alley), and then we both are stoked about the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. We went to eat in the Rockefeller Center in February. I can only imagine the view from the observation deck! Seeing the Statue of Liberty from the boat will be much different than getting to experience walking right next to it! My kids will be jealous. Maybe we will need to just buy some additional tickets and change it to a family trip! Thank you, CityPASS for making traveling easier and more affordable! Give your child the gift of exploring the world around them! Axol & Friends I am a mom of a six-year-old, I like for her to have a “busy bag” with her when we are going to be in the car or a waiting room for a long time. It keeps her busy and keeps me sane. Ha! Axol & Friends sent new a book bag that is absolutely perfect for a “busy bag”. It is not quite big enough for a school book bag but plenty big for a “busy bag”. I must admit, it is the most durable backpack she has ever had. Plus, the fact that she can decorate it herself with Axol & Friends pins makes it an even nearer “busy bag”. Inside her bag is her buddy, Axol the Axolotl. It’s a pink stuffed animal that definitely brings out the creative side of her! A is for Apricat & ABC What Can He Be Times have changed since I was in kindergarten. It used to be that we went to school with very basic education and the teachers would teach us our letters, numbers, and how to read. Now, most schools expect children to already know their letters and numbers (some before preschool even!). Offering educational books to your children starting all the way at birth will help get them used to recognize the letters of the alphabet. A is for Apricat and ABC What Can He Be are great Starter books to get your child on the right track! Premium Joy Foam Building Blocks Kids love to use their imagination when they are given the opportunity. Building with blocks has been around for many generations and will likely continue for many generations to follow. It is just what kids do! A block set full of shapes plus made of durable (but soft foam) is a winner for me. I have had enough kids in my home over the years to know that blocks get thrown. These foam blocks prevent accidents and damage from occurring. They all come in a reusable clear tote so the blocks can even go to grandma’s house!

It gives a lot of insight into each kind of dinosaur along with great real-life-looking images.

Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit has everything you need to begin teaching your child through a very interactive “game system” to use with your tablet or phone.

I hope you’re ready to “Giddy Up Penelope” because I know one little girl that is! ZizzyBee Bags Stuff, Stuff everywhere is how I have felt lately. Fostering a newborn and having a daughter in 1st grade, a son in 7th, and another son as a junior in high school, makes our life have a lot of “stuff”. Our kids are all at different phases in life which requires a lot of organization. ZizzyBee Bags helps us eliminate some of the chaos in life! Baby’s must-have items like his nail clippers, nasal aspirator, an extra pacifier (why do they always disappear?), and a small bottle of lotion all get thrown in one ZizzyBee Bag and then into the diaper bag. We know exactly where it is at all times. The bags are washable which makes them really convenient to use when my boys use them to haul their pens and pencils for school. Pound Puppies Boy, oh boy! This brings back some great childhood memories! Pound Puppies are BACK for your children to enjoy, the same way you did when you were little!! They look and feel just like the ones you played with as a child. Adopt a pound puppy today and give your child lasting memories!
