Touch Screen ATM Coin & Bill Machine

First to recommend

Description

As close to the real thing as you can get! Your child gets an ATM card and secret pin number to use in their very own home machine. The light-up touch screen does everything from show their balance to their deposits (coins are recognized too!). Very cool way to get your kids interested in saving.

Crumbs Bake Shop in a Box

First to recommend

Description

From the cover, you may get the impression that this is simply a cute bake-your-own-cupcakes set for kids. Well, it is. Cute, that is. But you have to open it to see just HOW cute. Oh. My. God. I've seen a lot of these all-in-one sets and this? By far one of the best ever.

First of all, the author's credentials set it apart. Mia Bauer is the lady behind the incredibly successful chain of Crumbs bakeshops- those of you lucky enough to live in L.A., New York or Jersey may be familiar with her delicious creations.... like the FlutterNutter Cupcake- vanilla spongecake with marshmallow buttercream filling, frosted with vanilla buttercream that's mixed with real peanut butter and THEN drizzled with white chocolate and edged with white sprinkles Um... yeah. YUM.

So I was so excited to find this kit for kids in a local bookstore. Mia has created an adorable character named Lolly LaCrumb and written a book detailing her many wild adventures. Even better, the book comes complete with wipeable recipe cards that provide easy-to-follow instructions, stencils for decorating (hold the character-inspired designs over your cupcake and sprinkle your topping of choice), kid-friendly measuring tools... oh and so much more. I just can't say enough about it so I'll stop before I try to.

Perfect birthday or holiday gift for the little girl in your life- or for yourself. Really, the cover doesn't do it justice. SO much cuter in person!

Scrap 'N Stuff Umbrella

First to recommend

Description

A cool, creative way for your artist-in-residence to showcase her talents! This umbrella comes with ribbons, pre-cut designs and more.... but far better would be to let a child design their own art and slide it into the pockets.
