The Tickle Monster Laughter Kit

"THERE IS NO BETTER CHILDHOOD MEMORY THAN TIME SPENT LAUGHING TOGETHER"




This book is a must have for all parents!  Hannah is not old enough to fully appreciate this book yet but I have had the opportunity to read it to my nephew who is 2 1/2 and he loves it!  The anticipation in his eyes grows with each turn of the page.  The book tickles those listening from head to toe!


Laughter is contagious, and what better way to spread it than with this fun-filled book! A lovable monster with big, puffy mitts has just flown in from Planet Tickle. His mission is to bring joy and laughter to Planet Earth. How? By tickling any child who happens to follow along in this book. Parents read aloud and do the tickling while their children squirm and giggle with delight.


Tickle Monster is a winner of the Mom's Choice Award, Parent's Choice Award and the Parent Tested Parent Approved Award.


The book comes with magical blue Tickle Monster mitts, with holes in the fingertips to make it easy for parents to instantly transform themselves into Tickle Monster and turn pages while tickling. It is a wonderful gift for parents, grandparents and children.


The book is available for $20.43 at barnesandnoble.com and http://www.amazon.com.  



Hope this book provides many memories of laughing together!

MUSIC TO MY EARS!


The Mozart Magic Cube

My husband loves music, and hopes that one day Hannah will appreciate it as much as he does.   This toy is one of her favorites and is one that mom and dad don't mind listening to either.  




Mozart Magic Cube teaches little ones how sounds combine to form musical masterpieces. One orchestra button plays all the instruments with 8 Mozart compositions included. Your child can add and subtract instruments at the touch of a button without missing a beat!  The toy includes a harp, french horn, violin, flute, piano, and orchestra for all of the instruments together. Lights flash to the tempo of the instruments to keep your child engaged. The soft, rounded corners make it easy to play with and hold. Mozart Magic Cube is the winner of the prestigious Dr. Toy and Parents' Choice awards.  The toy is ideal for all ages.  

You can get this at http://www.walmart.com or at http://www.amazon.com  for $19.54.  http://www.toysrus.com also has it but it is $24.99 on their website.  

  

A Must Have for New Moms

PADALILY





This is a product I came across when I was expecting, and am so glad I did.  Lugging Hannah around really takes a toll on my forearm and this product takes a load off, literally.  The infant car seat is awkward and heavy to carry around. This plush and stylish cushion wraps around the handle making the car seat handle comfortable and easy to carry. The stylish fabrics and exclusive trims make the Padalily a functional fashion statement.  I have the swirly tux design and Hannah always loved looking at the contrasting print whenever I put her in her car seat.  The Padalily is a "must-have" for all new moms! 








After finding out about this product I have made it a staple gift for all my friends who are becoming new moms.  It comes in numerous fabrics and is reversible!  Below are just a few of the designs.  



To see more of the designs visit the padalily website at http://www.padalily.com.  You can purchase a padalily for $26.00. If they are out of stock on their website you can check other online retailers listed below:

Teething Relief

Teething Buddy


My little girl has been teething for what seems like months.  I keep thinking one day I will look in her mouth and see her first tooth, but so far nothing.  Like most babies, she is always wanting to put everything in her mouth to soothe her gums.  Thanks to my mother, I discovered this great teether that she loves!  The minute I gave it to her she giggled and loved it.  The teether combines chewy teethers, soothing fabrics, and sweet embroidered accents into a soft pal that will become your child's buddy.  It comes in a soft velor and absorbent terry material.  


The product can be found at http://www.onestepahead.com.  You can buy it for $9.95 or get 3 for $23.85.  They come in an elephant, bunny or frog.  Hannah has the elephant and she loves it.  





  

Baby It's Cold Outside!

JUST ADD SNOW

It has been a long winter with lots of snow.  The snow does not seem to be going anywhere soon, so if you are looking for something fun to do outside, you have to get this snowman making kit.  The box contains the accessories you need to make a great snowman. The snowman building kit includes black felt hat with light blue trim and a holly sprig, red felt mittens, red felt scarf, orange wooden carrot-shaped nose, black wooden pipe, two black wooden eyes, three black wooden buttons, and five wooden buttons for the mouth. 

This snowman in a box kit is lots of fun!  We have given this as a Christmas gift to all of our nieces and nephews.  They all seem to love it.  Wanted to share this great product with you before the snow is gone!  

This product can be difficult to find.  I was able to find it at bronners.com for $14.99.  



I also found it at http://www.freshfinds.com for $9.95   The kit from freshfinds has plastic “coal” eyes,a  “carrot” nose, 5 mouthpieces for the smile, a red felt fringed scarf and black felt hat.   The kit also includes large buttons to complete the look.  


The snowman head below is my nephew Henry's snowman, made earlier this January.  This particular snowman kit is from The Land of Nod but is no longer available.
