JJ Cole Essentials All-Purpose Beach Blanket, Baby Blanket or Take Anywhere Blanket!

JJ Cole Essential Blanket

$29.95 at Amazon.com

We recommend this JJ Cole Essentials all-purpose blanket because we know the entire family will use it. Infants will enjoy rolling around on this comfy 5 x 5 ft. baby blanket/play area, either inside or outside, and older kids will use it as a beach blanket, or for sporting events, etc. Moms love it because it looks great (the photo doesn’t do it justice), is weather-resistant, wipes clean easily (and is machine washable in a large capacity washer), and folds up perfectly. It’s a versatile blanket that can be used virtually anyplace and anywhere! Choose from different color combinations — this one is black/grey, but you can also search for sky/lemon and chocolate/pink.

Fashion Design 101 with Fashion Angels Paper Dolls

Fashion Angels Paper Dolls

The nice thing about paper dolls is that they don’t just appeal to fashion bugs, but also those who enjoy crafts, and creating something with their imagination and a variety of simple supplies. This Fashion Angels Paper Dolls kit comes with 5 paper dolls (and a bonus boy doll! hmmm…), a pattern and design guide, fabric glitter, ribbon, sequins, colored glues, puffy stickers, buttons and more.
