That’s the idea behind Flipzles, award-winning puzzles made of thick, durable wood with vibrant images on all three layers, each a unique piece of art created by Vicki Lewis. Flipzles help kids discover spatial relationships and build hand-eye coordination, yet are compact, easy to store and a snap to take anywhere.

Welcome to the preteen years, which some parents have come to nickname “second toddlerhood”. At this age, it can be a balancing act to allow kids the independence and individuality they need, while ensuring they hold on to the innocence and wonder of childhood for as long as they can. By guiding kids’ choices in the right direction, parents can do their part to make this stage of growing up as fun, exciting, and rewarding as possible. Companies like 100% Gumdrop, Lemon, Inc., DeSalitto and Limeapple offer fabulous fashion options for parents – and their awesome tweens – to consider.

Don’t shoot the messengers, but it’s time to start thinking about back to school displays. And no display will be complete without the perfect accessory for the all-important first day outfit.

Rika Gunawan dedicated Republic of Pigtails to her daughter and their edgy friends who love to look fabulous.

From frustration to fruition, that’s the story behind Frogglez, a new kind of swim goggle for kids. So many brands of swim goggles are a challenge to put on — they pull on kids’ hair, slip down or make little ears stick out uncomfortably. Put an end to swim time struggles with Frogglez. These unique goggles are made of neoprene (the stuff used in wetsuits) and coated in a gentle fabric so they glide over hair instead of yanking on it. They have a strap that stays over the ears where it’s meant to be, and one size fits pretty much any head aged three to twelve with easy-to-manage adjustments.
