If you Build it, they will Play!

We all know that most kids prefer the box the toy comes in more then the actual l toy…soo why not give them their very own “box” (in the shape of a house) that they can decorate?!

Genius! 

The one pictured above is 3-feet tall, retails for $39.99, and is eco-friendly:

They are dishwasher safe, and come in a variety of styles and sets.  This Puppy Plate is $26: http://www.inthisveryroom.com/kids/personalized-kids-dishes/personalized-kids-puppy-plates.html

My son received 2 sets of melamine dishes for his first birthday, and they were one of our favorite gifts! Anything monogrammed is very thoughtful - and who doesn’t want to make meal time more fun!

Have a Seat

Hands DOWN, this was one of the best gifts we were given when my son was born.  The Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere Chair, makes an awesome gift for a new baby or birthday for any child (Ages 2-10).

The chair comes in a range of different colors and patterns, and can be personalized with the child’s name.

My son LOVES sitting in a chair that is just HIS size! 

The chairs range in price from $79 - $139
