MimiTENS stay on

One of the worst parts of winter is getting mittens to stay on tiny hands. Even babies who can’t move seem to squirm their way out of any type of hand warmer. Once kids start to run around, mittens seem to “fall off” as soon as they’re put on.

Canadian mom, Anna-Maria Mountfort has found a solution with mimiTENS. The high-cuffed gloves stay on even the most resistant child. (The mittens received rave reviews from our three-year-old tester Beckett’s preschool teacher who said they’re the best she’s seen.)

Made of water-repellent nylon, insulated with Thinsulate and lined with Oeko-Tex bamboo and cotton fleece, mimiTENS are ultra warm and keep little hands dry.

Teaching Kids It's Ok to Be Different

Different Kinds of Special, a new children’s book by Donna Carol Koffman, teaches children that it’s our differences that make us special. Inspired by her autistic grandson, Koffman’s book helps children and adults alike understand the challenges faced by non-verbal children and inspires readers to imagine a world of inclusion and acceptance.

Leg Warmers are Back

Flashback to Flashdance. Leg warmers are hip again–at least for the under age sect. Harlow’s Perch has created a one size fits most leg warmer that will grow with your child. The affordable footless warmers, fit hip-to-ankle on your little crawler, keeping her ultra warm and fashionable this winter. But unlike most baby wear, she won’t outgrow these leg warmers after a few months. They fit to knee-height on a four-year-old and can even act as an arm-warmer on your tween. (Remember Brittany’s fashion statement on Glee?)
