Puzzled Over Lunch?
Mealtime for toddlers and preschoolers can be unpredictable at best. One day a PBJ sandwich rules and the next it’s rejected. Add a little intrigue to lunch with four Match & Munch sandwich cutters, creating crust-less puzzles of bite-sized pieces! My little 4 year-old friend downed his sandwich and then said, “Can I have another puzzle?” Kids loved getting into the action, pressing down the cutter to reveal the edible puzzle. You’d better act fast–the pieces disappear.The opinions expressed in this review are solely those of the author. “Match & Munch” was provided for review by Spoonsisters.com
Let Them Have Cake!
One of my clever moms just went into her son’s preschool class for his four year birthday celebration. She needed a craft for the class to do and brought these cute cardboard slices of cake for each child to decorate. Providing plenty of glitter, pom poms, ribbon, markers and sparkles, she made her son’s day. Each child proudly took their piece of cake home to display. She found these favors on the website for Oriental Traders.Easy Cut-Up Cakes for Kids

Whimsy ABC’s by Tatiri
Your child is already flooded with letters in his environment, signs, cereal boxes, books and magazines–how about a few on the wall, bedroom door or toy box? These whimsical letters are 3″ high and caught my attention because they have eyes, animating them and inviting conversation! I found a simpler version at Target, but these google eyed ones can be found at Stowe Kitchen Bath and Linens
