Jan Brett’s beloved children’s story, The Hat, chronicles a day in the life of an amusing hedgehog that pokes his nose into a knit sock and finds himself stuck. Wandering around the farmyard, he begins to view his hat as highly fashionable and important protection against the chilly air. His barnyard friends poke fun at his new look, but are soon drawn to the thought of wearing a hat themselves.

As the mother of two little girls, Kristin Borden had a difficult time buying clothing for her daughters. Most of the clothing she found wasn’t designed for independent young girls wanting to dress themselves. With this in mind, Borden decided to create a line of girls’ clothing and accessories that would be stylish yet simple — perfect for budding young fashionistas. Each item in the Grace 4 Girlz line-up allows for multiple ensembles with contrasting complementary colors that coordinate easily, providing the opportunity for the unique personality of each girl to shine throughout each and every day.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween…I did.

While Halloween celebrations have existed in Europe for centuries, children dressing up in costume and “trick-or-treating” didn’t become popular in the U.S. until the 1930s. Nearly 80 years later, Halloween in the U.S. has become a multi-billion dollar industry. To celebrate this spookiest of holidays, The Giggle Guide® takes a look at some of the creative dress-up options available for kids (and parents) today. Even if it’s too late for Halloween ‘09, we all know children enjoy dressing up and playing make-believe all year long!

No tricks! Just treats! Halloween is a favorite among old and young alike as it brings out the creative magic in everyone. As little (and big) kids race from house to house, fully garbed in costumes that have been pondered over for weeks, the most essential part of their costume has nothing to do with who or what they’re pretending to be! The Halloween bag, intended to hold the most toothsome pleasures of the night, must be sturdy, easy to hold and preferably, reusable throughout childhood.

The Giggle Guide® surveyed 26 mothers, living throughout the United States and Canada, about today’s children’s market and the products they purchase. The fifth question in our exclusive series asks…

Before children learn to resent chores comes a delightful stage that wise parents are eager to encourage: the “Can I help?” stage. A particularly clever mama, Carol Gamble, decided to avoid the risk of her small daughter falling off a chair when helping her mother in the kitchen, and invented The Learning Tower, a multi-purpose, adjustable-height stepstool. The Learning Tower is a patented product of Little Partners, a company started by Gamble, with a simple, attractive design that has ample space to hold two children simultaneously.
