• This Book Belongs To Label Kit for Personalizing Your Reads

  Though it's just as handy for those of us who've gotten tired of lending books to friends, never to see them again, the This Book Belongs To label kit also makes a great (and way less passive-aggressive) way to personalize your kids' favorite storybooks.

• A Little Bit Country: Micro Mini Animal Stories

  The naked city may hold eight million stories, but with these curious little country scenes, the kids could conjure a few interesting tales of their own. Each set includes two tiny animal toys, as well as a wee nature backdrop -- unfortunately, there's no way to specify which set you want, but if you're OK with being surprised, the price is right for ordering more than one. $6 from Fred Flare.

• Value Meal Backpack For Fast Food Junkies

  Are you a fast food junkie? This Value Meal Backpack may be something you may want to wear to show your love of all things fried. Even the inside is lined with a nylon french-fry print. I personally wouldn't wear it but my son would since the pattern would probably remind him of a Happy Meal. Read More...

• Sparrow Hook Set: Go Ahead, Tweet About It

  If you do a lot of tweeting, this sparrow hook set may put you in the mind of Twitter -- but the cute little birdies could just as well put a perfect finishing touch on the kids' room. Read More...

• A Very Different Type Of Coloring Book

  The 90’s seem so long ago. Reminisce with this Let's Paint The '90s coloring book. Perhaps Bill Clinton, Vanilla Ice, and Pamela Anderson might not peak your kid's interest but you might get some joy out of coloring them from the... Read More...

• To-Do List Mug

  Because mothers (and fathers) are the ultimate multi-taskers sometimes it’s hard to stay focused on the schedule when you’re busy putting out the fires of the day (like milk on the couch and robots jammed down the toilet). Here’s a way to keep organized.   Read More...

• 7 Days of Back-to-School Supplies: Planner for the Non-Planner

  I remember school, and I remember my parents' well-meaning planner purchases. But planners can be so ... constricting, which is why I love this daily planner at Fred Flare.  Read More...

• Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker Doubles as Really Hard Soccer Ball

  I've always loved homemade ice cream -- not so crazy, however, about sitting around staring at the ice-cream maker while the ice and rock salt work their magic. With the Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker, it's problem solved for the ADD-addled: Fill one end with your mix, load the other with salt and ice, and line up for a quick game of soccer (be gentle, though: This one could get messy if it breaks). After a few minutes of rolling around, you've got a pint of creamy, dreamy homemade goodness, and you've even burned a few calories while making it. $34 from Fred Flare. [Kudos to Minor Details for the tipoff.] Posted Apr 16 2008, 05:57 PM by Aaron Burgess with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Fred Flare, play and freeze ice cream maker, minor details, homemade ice cream, summer activities, summer treats

• Year-Round Easter Project: Make Your Own Peeps

  Can't get enough Peeps at Easter? I can, but that's beside the point: The Peeps Marshmallow Maker ($26 at Fred Flare, though stock's temporarily run dry) is an old favorite that lets you injection-mold as much of the pink and yellow marshmallowy goop as your belly can take. After the jump: The high price of extra mix, and pop-culture site X-Entertainment makes its own Peeps so we don't have to. Read More...

• Getting The Jump On Valentine's Day — Because, You Know...It's Important.

  My kid barely understands my explanations of the "real" holidays, so I know the concept of Valentine's Day is going to sail right over her three-year-old head. All the same, I'm kind of stoked to make with the heart-shaped decor and baked goods (and hey, if i'm lucky, my husband will follow suit).   Here are my three favorite finds thus far (and yes, they tend to be as frivolous as the occasion itself).

• End Snowperson Sexism With Snowwoman-in-a-Box

  Honestly, before I saw this kitschy kit, I'd completely glossed over the fact that the typical snowman is, you know, a man. You can level the frosty playing field with such (admittedly cliched) femme accessories as a beaded necklace, earrings and a tiara. And for those of us in warmer climates, the pack promises to "even work with sand." (Of course, kids can achieve the same effect with the contents of the average dress-up box, but since when is kitsch ever known to be practical?) $14, Fred Flare.   Posted Nov 07 2007, 09:00 AM by Leigh-Ann Jackson with | with 3 comment(s) Filed under: Fred Flare, Snowwoman
