Crocodile Creek Playground Balls

Crocodile Creek has lots of different designs for each of their products and there is sure to be one that your little person would like.  We love the playground balls that they have.  The girls like the ballerinas and ladybugs and the fire truck and dinosaurs are a big hit with my little boy.  They come in two sizes, 5″ and 7″.  The 5″ balls are great for smaller kids with little hands while the 7″ size is good for any age.  These balls are textured so they are easy to grip and they bounce well. They are made of rubber and contain no PVC, latex or vinyl. These make a great gift because most every child likes to play with balls and you can pick a design that appeals to any child.

Balanced Day Lunch Kit

I was searching for lunchboxes for my kids and came across the Balanced Day Lunch Kit and I think is just what I need.  The bags have 2 compartments and many different ways to use them.  One side can be for hot food or beverages and the other for cold stuff.  One side could be a for a snack and one for lunch.  One side can be for school supplies and the other for lunch.  You could even use one side for baby bottles and the other for baby food.  They come in several different neat designs.  A major plus for me is that you can throw them in the washer and hang them to dry.

Straw-lution Revolution

The other day my husband and I were sitting in a restaurant discussing how someone needs to invent a straw that will actually stay in a cup.  As we were talking our daughter was pulling her straw out of her cup and eventually dropped the straw on the floor. Every single one of my 6 children have done this as toddlers and it is always frustrating.  So, I came home that night and did a google search for straws that don’t come out of cups and I actually found this company that has taken on the toddler straw problem.
Straw-Lution straws are supposed to stay put in drinks and food containers.  You can toss them or reuse them and they are dishwasher safe. They are BPA free too.  I am going to try these out.  I am so excited for this solution to my straw frustration!

Western Chief Raincoats- Batman, Hello Kitty & More

I have raincoats and umbrellas on the brain today because it has been raining every day here for the past several days. I am not used to living in a place where raincoats, umbrellas and rain boots are an essential part of your wardrobe. My son has this awesome Batman raincoat from Western Chief Kids. It is part raincoat, part dress up outfit complete with detachable cape. He loves this raincoat almost as much as he loves batman. He is now insisting that he needs the matching umbrella.

Western Chief Kids line makes it fun to go out in the rain with their great rain gear for kids with many different interests. Hello Kitty, Ladybug, Fireman and Thomas the Train are a few of the many designs they have. Their raincoats are very well made and will stand the test of time and should even survive multiple kids. After seeing how much my son loves his raincoat I believe they would make great gifts because they are practical and fun.
