Handmade minkee chenille toddler pillow

Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Baby & Kids Clothing, Bedtime, Nursery & Room Decor, Personalized

DillyheartspillowEven though Madelyn isn’t old enough to have a pillow in her crib, she loves to have a soft pillow close by when tiddling around the house.  When I received this pillow, before I even touched it, I thought it looked like the best pillow ever.  Then, I touched it… Wow!! 
Dilly Hearts minkee toddler pillows are so soft, I wanted to lay down on it myself and I did. I felt a little bad  They are just the right size for your toddler to snuggle with, or lay down on while you are reading her stories.  Additional colors and
textures are available by custom order.  Have your child’s pillow customized with her name on it to make it a treasure she will share with her children.

I am going to post a photograph of Madelyn’s personalized minkee pillow soon.  We accidentally left it at Grandmother’s house which she is not happy about!  She loves her minkee pillow.

Dilly Hearts minkee toddler pillow cases are 100% polyester and are machine
washable. Pillow forms measure 12×16, are a 65% poly/35% cotton blend
and contain non-allergenic poly-fil.

Recommended for ages 2 and up. These and other pillows are not
intended for infants and should never be used in a crib.

ImagiPLAY A Day on the Farm Wooden Playset

Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Wooden Toys

Imagiplay_adayonthefarmI love classic wooden toys. They remind me of my childhood days when I had no idea what responsibility was.
ImagiPLAY’s wooden toy sets are safe, colorful, simple, and full of fun. 

Every toy ImagiPLAY produces is earth friendly, child safe and people  kind.  ImagiPLAY tests every material and paint
in their products to insure it meets or exceeds US and European standards.

ImagiPLAY’s wooden playsets are hand-painted and hand-crafted from rubberwood which is an eco-friendly hardwood and you know what is really great?  They don’t make noise!  You won’t hear a single moo or oink from these wooden animals.  I can’t tell you how many times I heard ‘oink oink’ 50 times in a row when Sebastian was little, 7 years ago.  Madelyn doesn’t have a single noise making animal toy which I am very proud of and thankful for.  I think there is a time and place when it is OK for children to have toys that make noise, but pretend play isn’t one of them. Isn’t the point of pretend play for the child to pretend and use their imagination?  I want to hear Madelyn’s ‘moos’ and ‘oinks’!

Small enough to travel with you to Grandma’s house, ImagiPLAY’s wooden playsets are easy to a toy that your child will play with for a long time. Your child can have an entire world of ImagiPLAY wooden playsets including a Noah’s Ark,  Arctic Expedition, and A Day in the Kingdom playset. Each playset will teach your child something about a different culture, lifestyle, or time period.

Bright and Beyond Idea Cards

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Announcements & Stationary, Fun stuff for parents

BrightandbeyondThese are the best idea since Goldfish.. the snack kids love! 

Like a lot of parents, I sometimes feel like I’m not interacting enough with Madelyn (18 months).   I just don’t know what to do.  I can only sit on the floor and make ‘oink oink’ sounds so long before I get bored.  Bright and Beyond Idea Cards have helped me come up with things to do with Madelyn and I referred to them at least two or three times a day for the last week.
One of my favorite idea cards is the masking tape card. This card explains how we can use masking tape on our floor to make fences and race tracks and even inspired me to make a masking tape computer on our kitchen floor! That was fun. 

These idea cards make learning fun and interactive for kids of all ages. Bright and Beyond Idea Cards are sold in decks for age ranges 0 to 9 with age appropriate activities and challenges in each deck.
