Children love bath time. Splashing, playing, and just relaxing in the water. At some point, we have to introduce the showerhead. It is so high up there. So far away! It’s scary! It can be intimidating at the best of times, let alone when the showerhead starts dripping water without it being turned on. Even I don’t like that sound. Although it’s probably because I know that there is something wrong, and one of the only ways to resolve it would be to contact a local plumber so the problem can get sorted quickly and efficiently. Luckily, this has never happened yet, and I hope it doesn’t start doing it. I never really considered how scary this could be for children until the time came for me to introduce them to the shower. My kids get nervous when the water comes out of the showerhead at the force it does. Although, most of us adults love a powerful showerhead, and will even hire professionals, like Morris Jenkins, to install them for us, for a child the idea of water being sprayed heavily over their face is pretty scary. It’s intimidating to them. This is no longer an issue for us now that we use a Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wand.
The Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wands come in 5 different designs: Dollie the dolphin, Duckie the duck, Froggie the frog, Hippie the hippo and Rickie the rhino.
Rubber Duckie & Friends™ flow at just 1.5 gpm and are compliant with all EPA-inspired conservation laws. We help parents save water and money! And, our soft soothing spray pattern is gentle enough to rinse infants & toddlers in the tub.
Hose or 2-way water flow diverter attaches easily to your current shower arm
Diverter switches water flow between mom & dad’s shower and Rubber Duckie & Friends™
Mount uses suction cups to stick to tub or shower wall
Extra-long hose extends to back of any standard tub
**The hose is 6 feet long, which allows for the perfect reach without too much hose slack**
Rubber Duckie & Friends™ are adorable bath wands to bathe infants and toddlers in the tub and also handheld showerheads for older kids. We do both jobs after one simple installation!
Mama’s Experience
There are limited installation instructions with the Shower Wand, however, it is not too difficult to install. Be sure when you unscrew the caps on the hose that you take note of the position of the washers and that they don’t fall out. They are loose. It matters what direction it is installed as to the pressure which the water flows.
Both my kids (ages 1 and 2) are now obsessed with their “hippo shower”(that is what they coined it in our house). Getting clean was always fun in our house, now its just a special treat to take turns holding the shower wand. My kids both take swim lessons and are very confident swimmers, but the shower head always intimidated them. Now, they are thrilled to put it over their heads and help rinse their own hair. I highly recommend the Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wands. Its a great birthday gift for any kid. Something fun and different for the child who has everything.
Just make sure that you have something like these glass shower doors installed, or at least a shower curtain, as sometimes you might find that your kids point the shower wand outside the bathtub and you’ll get water everywhere. Most people will have a shower curtain anyway, but it was just a passing thought that I had. Besides that though, these Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wands are totally worth it.

My children are 1 and 2. My 2 year old is getting better at her table manners, but let’s be honest, she has a lot to learn still. She is still working on her fine motor skills and holding a utensil with grace is a refined skill. NUK/Gerber have developed a set of utensils that are safe for a child to use, easy to hold in an economical fashion and have a nifty rest to help the child set the utensil down without getting the tip dirty. The Kiddy Cuterly Set is everything you want in a beginner utensil. Its safe, it picks up feed and it makes your life easier.
Tri-Suction Bowls
Bowls with 3 suction cups to stick better
Strong suction prevents messes and spills
Works on multiple surfaces
Microwave-safe
Dishwasher-safe
BPA-free
Includes 2 large bowls with 1 leak-proof lid

My kids are crazy eaters. They will throw bowls and food alike like candy off a float in a parade; with enthusiasm and excitement! Too bad we don’t have dogs to clean up the sloppy, not-candy laden floor. I am not a fan of wiping my floor down like Cinderella 3 to 4 times a day. Thankfully, NUK/Gerber have made the perfect bowl for my kids, their Tri-Suction Bowls. They easily cling to a table or high chair so that the child is not able to pick it up and toss it across the room. It stays where the parent places it! Eureka! Go buy this bowl, like now.
MealMat
Flexible silicone tray with 4 built-in plates and bowls
Convenient and hygienic solution for eating on-the-go
100% silicone mat always lays flat
Bowl compartment fits standard sippy cup
Dishwasher-safe
BPA-free
Includes 1 tray and 1 storage case
The MealMat is a super versatile mat for meal time. You can use it at home as a plate replacement. Being a thinner solid piece of plastic is it more difficult for a child to pick up and toss on the floor. The best use of it is as an on-the-go plate for visiting restaurants and friends/families houses. It comes in a neat and sleek carrying case. You can stick it into a diaper bag and be on your way. Being that is has a solid carrying case, when the post meal melt down comes you do not have to worry about cleaning it there, you can fold it in half and pop it in the case and clean it at home. Going on vacation this summer? You should definatly pick one of these MealMats up.

The ultra-lightweight and compact fold playard can be set up and taken down in seconds, making it perfect for use at home, a day at the park, or a weekend at the beach.

Now that I am outside gardening, pulling weeds, and just horsing around with the kids, I occasionally need to keep them in one spot for their safety. Gardens can be more dangerous than you might think for kids, but a playyard is a great way to keep children away from potential hazards like the gate, ponds, barbecues, or firepits (get safe ones from ssfirepits.com) Summer Infant’s Pop ‘n Play is the perfect playard for families. I have tried to lug my pack n play outside and set it up. Its just too much! They are great for kids to sleep in, but not to move around from spot to spot. We need to move the playard from the front yard, to the backyard, then to the side of the house all sometimes in 30 minute intervals based on what I am doing. This playard is so easy to pick up and move. If you have a small child, then you need this Summer Infant Pop ‘n Play Portable Playard.
You read that right people, fully assembled. This is not only easy to open, and use but its ready to go. No more lugging plastic gates that claim to be portable around.
Features:
Ultra-lightweight (12lbs) folding metal frame comes fully assembled and unfolds in seconds
Mesh sides for easy visibility and weather resistant
Compact fold and travel bag with strap for easy portability
Pop n’ Play is perfect for:
outdoor play
indoor play
vacations
picnics
trips to the beach
and more
When I received my Pop ‘n Play I was shocked at how light it was. It was easy for me to carry one handed. As I slide it out of the carrying case and set it on the ground I was able to open it in one easy push. It neatly and smoothly glided into place. That easy! After I slide it down I simply clicked the support straps in place. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy! I cannot understand how I survived my previous 2 years without this product. It really is a staple and should be on every expecting mom’s registry.

Light n’ Music Fun Ball
Lights N Music Fun Ball features four colorful friendly faces that light up together as music plays. Lights and short clips of music are activated by shaking, tapping, or rolling the ball. Light and easy -to-grasp, perct for small hands. includes on/off button for silent plat.
play encourages crawling, head lifting, improves motor skills , and sensory development.
When my 2 year old saw this Ball, still in the packaging, sitting on my dining room table she instantly said, “Mom! Can I have that ball?!” The plush ball instantly calls out to children due to its simple yet stimulating design. The colors are bright but not overwhelming. My 2 children both cannot get enough of this ball. There are 4 faces on the ball featuring only eyes. These are the 4 areas which light up when activated. They reflect the color of the face being yellow, orange, blue or red. My 1 year old loves these faces and has on several occasions tried to feed them his Cheerios.
My favorite feature of this ball is how the battery pack is safely and securely stored in the toy. The pack is tucked into a Velcro pocket, like every other plush electronic toy…HOWEVER, Yookidoo went the extra mile and created a tucked loop with a plastic ring to secure the box safely inside. This makes it much more difficult for our little engineers (my son) to get that battery pack out. If you have a crafty child who figures out how to get the batteries out of every toy (and scare the say lights out of you) then this is the perfect toy for your family.
Childrens clog shoes that come in fun bug & truck shapes

Durability:
These shoes can take a beating. Kid’s play hard. My kid’s will climb, jump, hop, run, leap…any movement you can think. These clogs are thick enough to take the impact but light enough to let them play without interruption.

Currently, on Amazon the Clogstrom is available for only $19.95. Finding a cute shoe for $20 is right in line with what I would spend. Add in that it’s a quality play shoe, and no one will argue with $20.
