As an art lover, I’ve already started taking my children along to exhibits and I want to surround them with works that will stimulate their minds and deepen their appreciation of beauty. For our children’s rooms, we add in accent pieces on our own, like valances and stencils, and hang a professional work of art […]
Kids in the Kitchen: Learning Tower Discount Code and Contest
The kitchen is the heart of the home. In most households, family life centers around the kitchen. It’s where we cook, eat, play and work. And kids like to be where the action is. (Need proof? I’m typing this blog post at my kitchen table while my son plays on the floor next to me with a […]
Make a Splash
Imagine a toy that is reusable, suitable for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, rolls up for storage, and inspires creativity without any mess–and you’ll have Aquadoodle.

There are currently three DVDs in the My World Series. Each DVD comes with a 60-minute CD of classical music and a 24 page book of […]
Craft With Confidence: Safer Supplies for Kids
Right now, crafting with my Baby is still a day dream, but I can’t wait until we sit down at our table, cover it in newspaper, and make some fabulous projects. Back when I was a teenage counselor, the arts & crafts teacher remarked how she loved having our group because I “modeled enthusiasm” so […]
