Easter is one of MamatheFox’s favorite holidays. Celebrating the gift of salvation which is obtained from Christ is celebrated and remembered during this holy time. Jesus died on a Friday, taking the sins of the world with Him into the grave, then conquering death and rising again to life on the 3rd day, Easter Day! John 3:16 tells us that “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Happy Easter to all

One of MamatheFox’s favorite things when I was a young girl was getting a fresh piece of rainbow scratch paper. It was a treat, and I only ever got it at school from my art teacher. It was a magical time to slowly use the wooden stylist and slowly but deliberately scratch my hard out. The thrill of unveiling the colors and making a pretty design, from my own imagination, was now found before me. Man, those were special times. Now I am so excited to show my children this Easter how to use and how to understand the special place this type of craft left in my heart.

Books are my favorite Easter Basket filler! They are useful, education, and a spread joy to share those cuddle time moments with your kids. Thomas Nelson just released a great new book, Night Night Bible Stories that is wonderful for gifting this Easter. It has 30 stories for bedtime that share the gospel, both old testament and new testament. Each story has a rhyming takeaway to help your little ones remember how much God loves them and cares for them. Also, at the end, there is a simple pray you can pray together that touches on the main truths from the story that was just told. The soft pages and cover, along with the pretty images found among the stories insure that this book will be a winner in the Easter basket you make this year.
Small children seem to gravitate towards touch and feel style books. Very small children, ones who have not yet learned to read, can engage physically with a book and understand a connection between them and the story. By feeling the soft, rough, fuzzy, bumpy textures they can help connect the words to the picture and begin to develop a love of books. This book features a bunch of animal families getting ready for bed. You can cuddle with your little one as you read this book together and feel secure in God’s love.
This beautifully made touch and feel book is a sure winner this Easter. It has a fun, bumpy boarder to the actual board book pages, giving it a fun outside for the kids to feel when they are carrying the book around their home. This story showcases a bunny who has met a new friend and together they will help your children discover all about God’s Easter blessings. By using the features of the world that small children are noticing, like colors, weather and nature this book will be an instant favorite in your home.
If your kids like silly books and know how to giggle then this new book by Rory Feek is going to fill your home with laughter and smiles. Kids learn about what noises farm animals make at a young age. That a cow says ‘moo’ and a duck goes ‘quack’…but what it they didn’t?! What if those animals wanted to make another animals sound? This chaos filled story will get you snicking right from the start. As a mother I think it’s such a fun book but I really fell in love with the amazing illustrations by Bruno Robert. If you are looking for a book to read at your children’s story time at school this year, grab a copy of this book to read to the kids and then donate another one to the classroom so that the kids can enjoy the silly tale over and over.
Kathie Lee Gifford is a trusted voice, who feels almost like a friend to many American’s.

This book helps kids understand that they have the ability to be kind and help others at any age. They they dont need to be a grown-up to make an impact on the world around them. That the smallest act of kindness shared from the heart is a truley beautiful gift.
Big Love is a children’s book that features a moody Baboon as the protagonist. The savanna of Africa where he roams is dry and desolate. Hungry, miserable, and mean animals seek only their own interests. Baboon watches as, one by one, Rhinoceros destroys Termite’s castle in his race to find food, Hare chooses not to share food with her family, and Lion steals food from his pride. This new book’s beautiful message makes it a wonderful gift for those who want to build a loving WE community–from home to school, neighborhoods, church, or travel. If people can begin to encourage one another to pursue their passions–with kindness, sharing, listening, and care–we can overcome anything and achieve extraordinary dreams together.

As a homeschool mama on a budget, I love Kid O’s A to Z Magnatab. With a magnetic stylus as the pen, the bead board as paper, and any finger as an eraser the Magnatab can be used anywhere, anytime. I love my kids can take their Magnatab in the car or into a waiting room. The Magnatab helps kids explore creativity and learning with sensory inviting play. They can see their completed work when each bead is pulled up to form letter, then simply erase and start again! Practicing letters is now engaging and sustainable!
Not only is this bead board a perfect gift for a child, it’s amazing to have in the car. Keeping kids busy in the car, especially during the Holiday season, is so important. A car ride can really make or break a weekend (or week!) This glow-in-the-dark Magnatab holds the same concept as the A to Z Magnatab (see above). What makes this one different is that kids can let their imagination run wild and create anything they want. They can practice letters, numbers, spelling, or just simply make a picture! I love that these Magnatab’s are completely mess free – no pencil sharpeners or messy markers, just the magnetic stylus! The recommended age for this Magnatab is 3-8 years. Kids will love this gift, and parents will too ( battery free toys!).

Days get long and our bodies get tired. What a better way to unwind and relax than with a comforting heat wrap for your neck.

I then take it out, move around the inside ‘beans’ and then warm in the microwave for another minute. The weight of this wrap is so soothing, not at all a burdening feeling. You can use it on not only your neck and shoulders but around your knees, feet, hands and other body parts. Its pain relief that works.

Men can be hard to shop for, so I love to always add in a useful product. This year we are gifting Papa Fox the Back Brush from Rengora. This brush is a great tool for all men. It can be used both wet and dry, helping wash their skin in the shower, and to exfoliate out of the shower when used without water, called dry brushing. The natural Boar Bristles remove dead skin leaving it feeling soft + smooth. Men loves how this leaves their feet and back feeling after using it. The brush has a gentle curve to it so all of those hard to reach areas are much easier to get to without doing crazy contortions. The removable head piece makes it great for when they are out traveling on business or leisure trips. Give the guy in your life a useful gift they will actually use and appreciate.

Do you know a kid who is a picky eater? Practically all kids refuse some type of nutrition from their diets. Some may hate broccoli, others may loath berries and apples. With such busy days and picky eaters it’s so hard to have them sit and eat fully nutritional meals every day. This is why smart care takers lean on adding a vitamin or two to their kids diet. We take a multivitamin at dinner each night. We have switched over to Renzo’s Kids Vitamins for several reasons. They are vegan, contain zero sugar and are gummy free. Many kids have a hard time chewing a gummy vitamin, or are too young to swallow a pill – this is where Renzo’s steps in for you. Their tablets are chewable and dissolve in your mouth, making it easy to take. Kid flavors like Oh-Oh-Oh Orange, Cherry Chery Mo’ Cherry. and Lil’ Green Apple make it fun and enjoyable for the kids taking them. We love the daily multi “Picky Eater Multi” and try to add in a “Bright & Brainy B6” or “Iron Strong” a few times per week too. Check out their site in the link above for more information and to see what is inside each vitamin.
