Nurturing entrepreneurship skills.

Nearly all children I know loves pretend games. I too loved to play pretend games as a child. One popular pretend playing is being a shop keeper. It’s fun to sell things. One thing about pretend business is that at least you don’t have to worry about business insurance and even if you are losing money instead of making it, you can still open your shop happily the next day. :D

Now although pretend playing only needs any household items to play with and of course imagination, but to help to make it feel a lot more realistic for the children, there are many pretend game toys that can be purchased. Like this pretend & play snack shop.

The set comes complete with toy snacks, play money, and a stand. Children will not only have fun but learn about the importance of money as well.

Kid tough digital camera.

Most families these days have one or more digital camera. Mommy has one, daddy has one. So much so that even the little ones would love to have one of their own.

There are a few digital cameras for young children, but you may want to try out ‘kid tough digital camera’ by Fisher price.

Features:

  • Robust
  • double view finder
  • waterproof
  • maintains its easy-to-use format and simple buttons
  • 1.5” color LCD preview screen which allows kids to instantly see the picture they have taken

Kids love to emulate adults using gadgets. They do grow up fast though, and before you know it, you’d stop buying toys and would have to start looking for the best natural acne treatment for your kids. :)

Books I’m getting this Christmas.

These past few weeks I have found the joy of making cute things. That is after I got my hands on the “Cute doll” book by Aranzi Aronzo.

Here are a couple of my project from that book.

Took me 4-5 hours to do them each. Being a total noob at sewing and also sewing by hand really made it rather slow to finish one project. Sewing, crocheting, knitting are not really fat burners exercises, but it can be rather tiring sitting and sewing for hours when you are not used to it. :P

But did I have enough of craft already? Surely not! Cause I’m getting myself more books to teach me to make more cute stuffs.

Waiting patiently for them to arrive in the mail….. :)

Pretend toys - play kitchen.

Christmas is months away but I’ve already started on a Christmas gift list. For one reason, we don’t like last minute shopping, secondly, when we know what we want to buy, when we see the item on sale we can buy it cheaper.

Of all the things that I like to plan on buying, besides my own presents :), are things for my daughter. This year we may get a pretend kitchen for our lil’ girl. She is in the age when kids like to play pretend games.

My eyes are on Kidkraft’s Pastel play kitchen set.

The pretend kitchen is made of wood. Comes complete with an oven, stove, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, sink, shelves, play clock, etc. The things look quite similar to the real ones. From the pictures, even the kitchen faucet looks like one of Moen faucets collection. Really cute.

I prefer wooden toys to plastic ones. Because wooden ones tend to be much more durable. Price varies depending on where you get them from but price is usually below $200.

Your child’s first BMW.

I’m not sure why when little kids pretend to be adults they look kind of cute. We buy them real working toys that look like our real gadgets - mobile phone, digital camera, laptops, and even cars.

For £299 you can get your child his or her first BMW. Well, a battery operated one that is.

Now, ain’t that cute ???  A BMW Z4 in sexy red.  Check out the Alfa Romeo 8c and Audi TT on the website - totcars.co.uk.

Don’t worry though, the car speed is only 3mph. Don’t think the child can get into accident with this and need to get like one of those Lexington car accident lawyers. :)
