A compendium of somethings for kids

Oh, my! Whenever I see the number of awesome goodies for kids there are in the market these days, I kind of want to go back in time; I'd avoid the bullying and eating disorders, though, ha ...

Anyhow, on to the list! Hope you can get ideas for your kids, nephews or even yourselves! ;p

Something to wear: Mina sells the cutest ballerinas. Too bad they only make them up to size 35 :/, which means my sister could probably wear them ... Totally jealous. 

Something to smell: These Scratch & sniff stickers totally take me back to the old days when I'd swap Strawberry Shortcake cards during the break at school :). Each box is $2.95. 

Something to draw: How neat are these crayon rings? If you don't want to pay $6.95, though, you can always go to the 99c store; I've seen colorful chalk eggs, animals, etc.

You can also check out this tutorial to learn how to make these fun bathtub soap crayons ;).

Something to make food more appealing: I would totally use these lunch punch sandwich cutters for myself :p. Although, in my opinion, food always looks appealing enough as it is, hehe.

Plastic egg moulds 

 

Cookie cutters can make fruit look prettier, too.

My computer is taking a poop so I haven't been visiting your blogs as often. David's almost done restoring, though (still needs to add some updates), so hopefully it'll start running smoothly again :p.

Hope you have an awesome weekend! ;D
