Since this series is about


having fun with your kids without losing your cool,

I'm giving away a few activities that are sure to bring a smile to

your child's face

As the winner of Prize #6, you will receive either 1 set of Cupcake Sidewalk Chalk OR 1 set of Superhero Sidewalk Chalk (your choice).  Sidewalk drawing is a great way to pass an autumn afternoon.  Maybe you could even sneak in a  little pleasure reading while the kids are occupied.

#6: Felt Rainbow Puzzle



As the winner of Prize #6, you will receive one felt rainbow puzzle, perfect for little hands that have moved beyond peg puzzles, but are not quite coordinated enough for fitted puzzles.

  25. My son is learning to read, and we play different versions of the traditional "I Spy" game everywhere we go. We do "I spy something that starts with a (fill in the letter)" or we give a series of clues to help with his logic skills (something alive, outside, a fruit or vegetable, etc). He asks to play it all the time.
