Straw Facts:

The first paper straws were invented approximately 123 years ago by Martin Stone, who designed his straw by wrapping two pieces of coloured paper around a pen like tool and covering it in wax to prevent the fluids leaking .

Lovely New Things

2010-01-31T02:33:00.000-08:00

Fingers have been furiously tapping the keyboard this week to add lots of lovely new things!

Starting with GroMos Bear, the newest addition to our Deglingos family. GroMos has been crafted from a total of 12 different distinctive fabrics with a multitude of colours, textures and patterns. He is machine washable & suitable from birth.

What little girl would not love to own this Pink Wooden Trike? Designed in France by Vilac, it is made of solid wood and has soft rubberised wheels that are kind to interior floors. (Suitable from 12 months to 3 years).

And how adorable is this Mini Cutlery set, designed and made in France by Moulin Roty? It comes packed in a small wooden tray and is perfectly sized for your next pretend play tea party.

Speaking of tea parties, I heart this new wooden Slice and Bake Cookie set by Melissa & Doug. It includes 12 colourful, slice-able cookies and 12 toppings, a (child safe) wooden knife, spatula, cookie baking sheet and a fabric kitchen mitt for some serious "low-calorie" fun. There is even a Cookie Dough tube to pack your cookies in.

And then there is MARV. This fun and quirky Robot Soft Toy has fallen from the production line. Soft and cuddly and with a hidden little message to find, Marv makes the prefect companion for little ones.

This is just the tip of the iceberg ... pop on over to Send A Toy

to take a peek at some of our other lovely new things! - Rachel

Crafty Holiday Entertainment

2010-01-19T21:07:00.000-08:00

One of my favourite sources for school holiday entertainment inspiration is the Kids Craft Weekly website. Founded by the talented Amber Carvan in 2006, Kids Craft Weekly provides an invaluable source of child-friendly craft ideas that are cheap, fun and (shhh) educational! If you would like to have the Kids Craft Weekly email newsletter delivered to your inbox each week for FREE, just head on over to their homepage at http://www.kidscraftweekly.com/ and subscribe.

A popular craft product available at Send A Toy is Paper Plate Bugs by Alex Toys. This kit includes everything kids need to create 5 fabulous paper plate creatures, including paper plates, buttons, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, pop sticks, pom poms, paper cut outs, stickers, glue stick & picture instruction sheet. One of the best features of this kit is each 'bug' project is individually packaged, which helps control mess and your child will not feel the need to create all 5 bugs in one sitting! (p.s. the kit includes a large glue stick, however, we have found that a stapler, under supervision, also comes in handy).

My daughter's most recent creation from her Paper Plate Bug Kit - we have named her Tallulah!
