fingers inside a cardboard box and fish out the color they want and it also prevents crayons being tipped all over the floor which saves you a floor full of crayon wax shavings! Another great aspect of Crayola products - you can always refill them and you can find them ANYWHERE!

You can find the Crayola 150-count telescoping crayon tower just about anywhere that Crayola crayons are sold! As always, if you can’t find your product at a local store take a look at Amazon.com!

gross motor and sensory development as well as independant play! Djeco also carries other stencil sets as well including the princesses stencils, the horses stencils, the world stencils and farm animal stencils although my favorite is the comic stencil set because it’s much goofier than the other sets!

The Little Comics Stencils set is available from Amazon.com for just under $7, a great deal if you ask me! All of the stencil sets from Djeco can be found over at Amazon.com so if you’re looking for more than one set you’ll be able to combine your shipping costs.

colors that can be used to knot together to make one huge quilt! The final quilt comes to a great 36" x 48" and is really colorful. The greatest part of knotted quilting is that children get to create something they can show off and be proud of with very little chance of "doing it wrong". Another GREAT thing about this set is that once you’ve got ahold of how to create a quilt you can run to your local Michaels or Walmart and pick up a fabric your child loves and have them start over giving you a great and cheap summer activity…come to think of it, it’s a great year round activity!

The Alex Knot A Quilt set from FAO Schwarz is carried by and sold through Amazon.com for just under $25. Another option for this set is to find instructions online for knotted quilting and run to your local Walmart or Michaels and find some material that you like and get started that way!

origin of what they are doing! Once the doll is complete it will measure around 11 1/4" tall and the type of doll is referred to as a "pancake" style doll because it is flat on both sides. This is the easiest of rag dolls to make which makes it the perfect first ragdoll project for your child as well as for you to make! All pieces of this kit are made in the USA and although there is no recommended age range for this one since it involves a needle and thread I wouldn’t recommend it for any child under 7-8yrs. If you want to give your younger child the experience of building a rag doll you can always purchase this kit and while you make the doll have your child "oversee" the construction and watch their doll come to life!

I found the Ragdoll kit over at OurGreenHouse.com, an online store that carries all organically friendly products so you can rest assured that your child is safe with any of their toys!

bracelets or anklets so there are enough for multiple projects or for one big sleepover! This kit is recommended for children aged 4yrs and up; however, I highly suggest supervising those younger kids since the beads in this kit are so small.

I found this jewelry kit over at LandofNod.com and haven’t found an identical one anywhere else; however, there are multiple versions of "make your own friendship bracelet" kits or "make your own jewelry" kits out in most crafty type stores and even in the crafty toy section of larger toy stores like Toys R Us.
