I’m loving these teeny tiny gumball machines. They’re 5″ tall and come with 30 gumballs. I kind of want to plan a bubble-themed party around them.
$3.25 or $2.95 for 24 or more at beaucoup

Something about these his and hers monkey bento accessories just makes me happy. They’re made for packing mayo in bento lunches. Maybe they’d be a cute way to pack up some peanut butter and jelly for lunchtime spreading, so the bread wouldn’t get all soggy? Probably not very practical, since I just looked and they’re [...]

If you’re looking for an earth-friendly paper plate alternative for your picnics and BBQs, take a look at these biodegradable Potato Paks. They’re made in New Zealand from the starch that comes from the water during the potato washing and cutting process, before the spuds are turned into french fries. That dried starch is then [...]

I wrote about making ice cream in a bag not too long ago, and now I’ve learned that you can also make homemade slushies in a bag. Ah, sweet cold lemon goodness. It’s an activity, science project and snack all in one. Just fill a big ziploc with ice and 3 tablespoons or so of [...]

I’m a real tea set lover, so it’s been hard deciding which one to get my daughter for her second birthday. I think I’ve decided on this one from Green Toys. Like all the company’s toys, it’s made from recycled plastic milk jugs. It contains no BPA or phthalates and is safe to eat and [...]

What’s a July 4th celebration without homemade ice cream? One of these days, I’ll get my hands on a crank ice cream maker like the one we used when I was a kid. But for now, this homemade ice cream in a bag recipe looks fast, easy, and fun for the kids. All you need [...]

I know it’s not Monday, but I just stumbled upon a great idea on Sycamore Stirrings for serving fun bento-box style lunches in muffin tins. It’s kind of like taking the kid salad idea to the next level and making a whole meal out of it. I’m excited to give it a try!

If you like tiny versions of food, you will love this book. My favorites are these “doughnuts” made from cheerios, and the finger-sized ice cream cones, which use Bugles for the cone, and a melon baller to make the teensy scoops. Use the “Search Inside” tool on Amazon to flip through some photos of these [...]

If your kids are ready to munch and the dinner’s not quite ready, you might like to surprise them with a “kid salad”. We started these a few years ago when my son began to notice that the toppings on Mommy and Daddy’s salads looked pretty good, even if he didn’t care for the lettuce. [...]

I spotted these BBQ Chipwood Baskets at Pottery Barn today, marked down to 2 dollars each. I think they’d be perfect for serving the kids snacks outside. Just lay a paper towel or napkin inside, and fill with snacks or a kid-size meal. They’re not plastic, and they’re reusable. Even better than the paper [...]
