of energy and effort to find ways to hide vegetables in your children’s meals, but now, you don’t have to hide them
anymore, thanks to Fred.

Not that we want to make your child vain, but teaching them to recognize themselves in the mirrior and more

Advent calendars can be a bit tiresome, especially if you don’t love the sugar rush that comes after your
children sneak an extra day of chocolate from the pop out window of their High School Musical 3
countdown calendar.
There are a lot of choices for advent calendars that don’t include milk chocolate, one of the best we have seen so far
is from www.babyccinokids.com with their Christmas Book Advent Calendar.
The idea is that you wrap a book for each day leading up to Christmas. It is a great way to grow your child’s
personal library and it means that story time will be a little bit more interesting for both of you as you get
into the Christmas spirit together!
As most of us can remember, when we were kids, keeping ourselves entertained by just eating wasn’t always
enough. Especially mid day when we were in the middle of our very busy and important play dates.
But fun has finally been brought to the table with a clever little invention called the Lolly ChalkMat.
Created by Grace Paik, a mother of three, the idea came about as she attempted to keep her children
entertained while eating in a string of restaurants during a home renovation.
The mats have made quite a name for themselves over the past year for more than just their ingenuity as
they are also BPA, PVC and phthalate free, as well as eco-friendly and reusable.
Lolly ChalkMats come in a variety of prints, so as not to mess up the cohesion of your home decor, with
one side printed and the other side a usable chalkboard. The mats also roll up to save space….an easily
stored art canvas that also acts as a placemat, what could be better?!
After a long day of playing in the park, dancing in the rain, and baking in the kitchen, a bath is a necessity for every child.
But we all know the best way to get through bath time is to turn it into playtime and thus far, we have found no better
way to do that than with bath toys from Boon, Inc.
The fun, PVC and Phthalate Free bath toys are safe for your child to chew on and do not absorb water, reducing
chances of mould and mildew.
Made with funky colours, unique textures and child friendly shapes, these water toys a sure to be a hit with any child.
Plus the bath toys include games like catching floating critters with a mesh net, a ring toss with floating posts and a
set of scrubble’s that squirt water.
To top it off, Boon, Inc. Donates 10% of their profits to charity.
Decorating the nursery with Irish artist Carla Daly’s art for children is sure to ignite your child imagination while
bringing vibrant colour to your child’s room.
Daly’s art includes playful paintings of giraffes, sheep, zebras and elephants, as well as wall growth charts,
door signs, baby gifts, birth announcements, and alphabet wall stickers.
Carla Daly offers free shipping worldwide so if you are looking for a small gift for your niece in Canada or your
grandchild in Australia, this could be a good gift idea for you!
With postal strikes, going green and the need for speed in the online world that we live in, eliminating store
bought holiday cards could be the new holiday trend.
Of course there is no substitute for the warm cuddly feeling you get when you receive your holiday cards from friends
and family and display them around your house, but paperless post has created a service that combines both.
Subscribers can design their E-mail card by creating their own template from the array of elegant stationary available
on the site for a nominal charge of $10 U.S Dollars (£5) for 250, plus 25 free when you sign up, which is a fraction of
what the price the Royal Mail might charge.
Flowers, are a great way to brighten up a room, especially in Winter. But in London, where storage space is
limited, having heaps of vases around the house is not practical.
Cute and collapsible, ‘Jillable Fill Me Up Vases’ solve this storage problem and all you have to do is fill the flat
plastic pouches with water and add the flowers of your choice for your visual enjoyment.
The reusable vases, made from recycled plastic, folds neatly away when you are finished with it and are a cute
addition to a family picnic, a drab office desk, and an unbreakable addition to a kid’s room!
