I purchased 3 Barefoot Books for my son for Easter this year. The titles included The Animal Boogie, If you're Happy and you know, Here we go Round the Mulberry Bush. I was able to get these on sale for 9.00 each (and they often have sales)and trust me... they were a steal! 

 

All of the books I go came in paperback, however, some books have hardback available. They were all about 10-12 pages long and came with a CD. This CD plays music and reads the book to the children. It's definitely a way to get children who aren't so interested in books, interested! These books are also very cultural. There are a ton of paperbacks, hard covers, gift sets, and even puppets and other unique gift ideas to choose from! 

 

If you're interested in purchasing some or even just looking into it, check out an awesome vendor.. (Karen D'Agostino) at We Read Barefoot. She is great to work with and even have a facebook page! Let her know I sent you her way.. you won't be dissapointed with your purchase!

Review - Custom Made Crayon Roll

I am SO excited to share this review with you. I had been toying with the idea of getting a crayon roll for my 1 1/2 year old son. He is starting to get into coloring and I don't want to take the boxes of crayons with me when we go somewhere. The boxes normally end up getting smashed and they become useless anyway. So I finally got offered a special price for a roll.. and decided to take the plunge and buy one. 

This, my friends, is my son's new Crayon roll!! It was bought from Ariel's Custom Designs through her facebook page. These sell for 10.00 plus shipping and can be purchased through the above link.

The quality of this crayon roll was PHENOMENAL. The first thing I looked at was the ribbons that tie the roll together. My first thought was... "my son will tear these right off" but sure enough.. I tugged an tugged and to no avail... they did not budge. They are actually quadruple stitched!! (She clearly had little rugrats in mind when she made this design). Each crayon roll holds up to 16 regular sized crayons and she's got quite a selection of fabric!!

Definitely a must have! :) Head on over to Ariel's Custom Designs and let her know I sent you! :)
