As a kid I grew up flipping through my mom's National Geographic magazines (and cutting out all the pictures of animals for my art projects). I was so excited when I realized they now make a magazine specifically for kids!

At only $15 for a subscription it is a deal. Not only does your little one get something they can read and cut apart to their heart's content, they also get the added excitement of getting mail addressed especially to them. And it could build a love of Nat. Geo that lasts a lifetime. (via National Geographic kids)

National Wildlife Federation - Magazines for Kids

First to recommend

Description

If your child loves animals I highly recommend a National Wildlife Federation magazine subscription. NWF has three flavors of magazines:

- Animal Baby (age 1-4)
- Your Big Backyard ( age 3-7)
- Ranger Rick (age 7+)

Not only are they fun, educational, and give your kid the exitement of getting their very own mail, it also opens the door to learning and becoming involved with environmental conservation organizations like the NWF. (via National Wildlife Federation Kidzone)

Zoobooks Magazine

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Zoobooks is, in my opinion, the classic kid's magazine. If your child loves animals (which most do), they will love getting this in the mail.

Zoobooks comes in two flavors:

- Zootles (age 2-6)
- Zoobooks (age 5-12)

If your child is already really into animals I recommend skipping the Zootles and going straight to Zoobooks. A friend of mine has an animal-crazy 3 year old and found that Zootles was too young for him.

And, as always, half the excitement is about getting their very own magazine in the mail! (via Zoobooks)

Toddler Cowboy Boots

First to recommend

Description

My son is infactuated with shoes, and especially BOOTS. I've never been a cowboy type person myself, but his grandfather gifted him with a hat... which led to a Halloween outfit... which led me to consider buying him a pair of these boots. In the end I decided to go with a pair of cowboy design rainboots (multi-purpose for the win!) but I've kept this site in my favorites. I swear these things could tempt the most anti-cowboy person.

This particular vendor has a great selection and they look incredibly comfortable for little feet. They have no velcro or laces so they are easy for little ones to put on and take off all by themselves. My son (2 years old) insists on putting them on himself and wearing them EVERYWHERE.

Really, I can't blame him. I am not a cowyboy kind of girl, and I am not really into pink, but if they made a pair of those pink ones with the stars (the stars light up!) in my size I would totally be there!! (via Sheplers)

Anti Monkey Butt Powder

10 people recommended this item

Description

My sister uses this for her four year old son and swears by it. He finds it such a riot that he never complains about getting powdered. The down side is that "monkey butt" is now his favorite phrase.

Great for at the beach. Put it on your sandy feet and the sand just rubs right off before you get in the car. (via suthinrx)

Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)

First to recommend

Description

Do you Zoo?

Since becoming a mother I am rediscovering all those things I loved to do as a kid -- like go to Zoos, Children's Museums, and Aquariums! However, before you go out and buy a membership to a local zoo check and see if it is a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).

Memberships at AZA zoos are often good at other zoos and aquariums in the area. For example, I can buy a membership at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island and that membership is good at the Franklin Park Zoo in Massachusetts and the Boston Museum of Science!

This is a great way to maximize the value of your membership. But note that even if a Zoo is an AZA member it may only offer discounts at other Zoos and Aquariums. Call and ask about the details before you decide which Zoo to buy a membership for. (via AZA.org)

PolliWalks Toys for Feet! | Gator

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I took my son to Stride Rite the other day looking for some sandals and as soon as he spotted these he made a beeline right for them. While I pondered the pros of leather sandals vs. mesh he clomped around the store saying "RAAAAAWR!!!" Finally I took the hint, gave up my private dream of seeing him in cute mini-Tevas, and bought the monster shoes. I have to admit -- he has great taste. These shoes are AWESOME!

At first I thought they were crocs, because they look like, well, crocodiles! But they are actually from a company called PolliWalks, and they have several different styles of feet creatures. The shoes are made of soft molded foam and are very comfortable, light, and flexible. My 2 year lod son LOVES them. They are easy for him to put on himself, can be used to stomp in puddles, and wash easily. Not to mention they look cool, and can double as a toy. The shoes are often found chasing Thomas and Friends around the train table.

Since they are similar to crocs shoes I assume you have to use the same type of caution when it comes to safety. Flexible foam shoes like these can get caught in escalators so be aware when your child is wearing them in the mall or other escalator-rich environment. (via PolliWalks)
