HAPPY BIRTH MONTH, AMERICA! And like the nation in which we are based in (and now manufacture our product in), we are starting new. You are probably wondering why a baby bag company is changing its name. Well, it was time for a change (just like those diapers your new kiddo is needing right now). Change is not a bad thing; we are moving production to the United States and coming up with new ideas for products and new ways to use our already established and loved product. Our product line is growing outside the baby bag, so that means we need to grow with it. MOOV symbolizes the movement, change, growth, and the everyday grind that married couples, parents,...
Kids are like sponges; they absorb. If you want them to learn what’s important in life, you have to teach them young. Nothing is more important than teaching them to stay green, so therefore: It’s time to have a recycling day! Here’s how to do it. Set Up a Recycling Station Put a bunch of recyclable and reusable items on a table. Ideas include glass bottles, newspaper and old shirts. Ask Them Which Items Can Be Reused Help kids pick out the reusable items, such as clothing and tea towels. Tell them that you donate these instead of recycling them. Teach Them to Sort Together, sort out the rest of the recyclables into the right bins. Help Them Drag Bins...
It’s a rainy Sunday afternoon and you’re wondering what to do.
We don’t want to say duh, but … Duh! Head to NASA Kid’s Club for fun games, activities and pictures of space.
Be sure to check out the Image of the Day, which is an impressive collection of pictures showing scientists, rockets in flight, planet closeups and more.
Follow up your explorations with a trip to the nearest field for some stargazing. If the rain hasn’t let up, you can always go to the planetarium instead, so start packing that Aspen Tyke Traveler with all your baby, toddler and preschooler necessities today.
Color is a key part of our world, but that doesn’t mean humans come into it instinctively able to distinguish orange from purple and green from red. No, color is another subjective cultural experience that has to be taught to our children. Yet it is nevertheless important, so you should start at any early age. One of the easiest ways to do this? Leverage the power of art supplies. Kids do instinctively love art, so teaching them color through crayons and paints is a no brainer. But how to organize? Here’s a quick crash course. Save nonbreakable clear jars until you have approximately a billion of them. Fill each jar with crayons, pens and markers in specific colors. Kids...
Ah, mealtime. That special part of the day that increases a parent’s serenity and makes it all worth it. Wait, no. We’re thinking of massages. Shoot. Okay, meals. That’s right. A terrible, daily mess that transforms your darling angels into spaghetti monsters. Well, here are some ideas to combat the mess that might just make the difference between savage and serene: Put your ketchup beneath your hot dogs on the bun. That way it soaks into the bread and doesn’t get everywhere. Put a cupcake liner under popsicles to catch the spills. Hide your candy in boring bags in the fridge (such as old frozen veggie bags mwahahaha). Cut pancakes into bite-sized pieces with a pizza cutter and deliver them...
