Postage Please

It is so rare to receive a hand written letter these days, but we feel that we’d be doing our children a huge disservice if we didn’t encourage them to write letters to their friends and learn to appreciate the art of writing a letter (because the way things are going it may being come extinct). In order to encourage this long forgotten art, we are always on the look out for ways to encourage them to write and nothing could be as inviting and as the child-friendly as Letter Sets from Ginko Papers!

Kids will spend endless hours of weekend fun with all of the craft-friendly illustrated letter-and-envelope sets and stickers offered up by Ginko Papers. Back when you were a kid, stationery stores were probably all the rage. (Or was that just us?) These days, kids need a little extra encouragement to send a thank you note to Auntie Beth. These Letter Sets by Ginko Papers includes six sheets of paper, three glassine envelopes that fit 4×6 photos and four decorated clips, so kids can write small notes and even—gasp!—include a photo, too. What a novel idea!

Kid-Constructed Furniture

In keeping with its Play, Think, Grow philosophy, the Sprout Kids furniture line is comfortable, interactive and eco-friendly. Crafted from MDF in kid-friendly snap-together pieces, these chairs, tables and book cases let kids discover their inner inventor—and reward them with fun furniture for their efforts.

Soon after receiving this modular kit, your children will have a table perfect for drawing, playing and working out school projects, plus two comfortable lightweight chairs. But what happens in between is the most exciting part. Designed to be easily assembled by kids (with no tools or hardware required), the Sprout Kids Table and Chairs  snap together to encourage discovery, invention and exploration.

Rock the Board… Dude!

Regular decks are for amateurs. It’s time to ride the light! The Rockboard Radiate Skateboard features multi-colored LED lights embedded into a seven-ply hard rock maple deck that’s topped off with cool graphics, high rebound wheels and high-precision speed bearings. This revolutionary integrated wiring harness system can power lights for up to seven hours from one charge, so kids can kick, flip and grind for a whole day—simply flip the small switch on the bottom of the deck and you’ll be the hero of the half pipe.
