If there is anything better than a play tent to keep little minds busy on a rainy day then I don’t know what it is! This fun safari themed tent comes complete with a tunnel in to the tent to ensure privacy in the “club house!” The front door of the tent closes with velcro and the tent is held up by shock corded poles meaning that it’s easy to put up! The cover of the tent is made from a nylon cover and has a durable polyethylene floor that is easily wiped clean!

Everybody loves a good hand puppet and the little monsters over at Banjopuppets ETSY shop are more than good they’re absolutely great! This particular guy is named "Sasparilla" and is reminiscent of Oscar the grouch from his expression! All of the monster puppets at Banjopuppets are designed to fit all sizes of hands and make great companions for travelling! Sasparilla and all of his monster puppet buddies are about the size of a small cabbage and they pack away perfectly in bookbags, purses and suitcases! The inside of the puppet’s mouths is padded with fleece-covered polyfoam and the fur is all stitched by a machine to make each puppet as sturdy as can

be! All of the monster puppets are recommended for children ages 3yrs+ because of the nature of them but they do make great fun for family puppet time!

I love trolling ETSY for great new kids products because they’re all handmade and such novel ideas! The Tie dye Giraffe Sockett Puppet from Electrickzoo over at ETSY really caught my eye not only because it’s so cute but also because it’s such a fun toy to play with! Electrickzoo also has a dragon, unicorn, zebra, fox, dog, lion, donkey, mouse, gargoyle, duck and cat puppets available too! The giraffe sock puppet aka Sweet Potato the Giraffe Sockett (sock puppet) is a tie die sock puppet with big fun felt ears, a soft plush mane and a felt mouth and the ears and mane are machine sewn to give them durability! Sock sizes are 9-11 but are also available in smaller sizes (6-8.5). Each sockett

is handmade so the colors and details might differ slightly. The sockett’s are recommended for children ages 3yrs+ and make absolutely amazing gifts!

Not only are Melissa and Doug toys educational but they are also fun and safe toys to let your children grow up with! The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Ice Cream Parlor Set is one of my favorite playsets that they have to offer, not simply because I LOVE ice cream (which I do) but also because it is such a fun set to play with! Your child can play the ice cream man/woman with this adorable set that features four magnetic scoops of ice cream, two cones and two magnetic ice cream scoops so your child can grab the ice cream out of the storage case and build his/her very
