Pimp Your Crib: Frame Your Lil Artist's Artwork
A picture says a thousands words, especially if the artist is still learning his. So instead of covering your refrigerator with your tot's latest creations, frame them.
The simple way to do it is with the Dynamic Artwork Frame (pictured, $25-$35), which easily opens and closes without having to remove it from the wall.
Lil Find: Taro Gomi Drawing Books
When your tot grows tired of the yellow lined legal pad, treat him to a super special Taro Gomi drawing book.
Since there are four different books to choose from, there's one for every lil artist.
If your honey needs a little direction, Scribbles ($14) or Doodles ($14) might be the right choice as they gives wee ones an image to build on for every page.

Tasty Treats For Halloween Bashes: Sparkly Cookies on Sticks
If your little goblins won't be satisfied with fancy fruit lollipops, indulge their sweet tooth by making small sugar cookies on sticks.

Check Out the Cool Kid Films That Are Set to Come Out
The Summer blockbuster season is drawing to a close, and with that we say goodbye to the group of flicks designed to give our lil ones a break from the warm weather. While many of us are eagerly anticipating the Fall movie season – including Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Where the Wild Things Are and A Christmas Carol, movie studios are already banking on their 2010 arrivals. Take a look at what will be entertaining our kids next year and let us know which you are most excited about.
Turn In Your Used Baby Items For Some Cash
Call it cash for baby clunkers. Like the federal government's program designed to remove gas guzzlers from the road, Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us are launching a program to draw attention to the number of baby products that should not be handed down or resold to a new generation of lil ones.
Beginning Friday, the stores will launch the Great Trade-In, allowing parents to bring in used cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, play yards and high chairs in exchange for a 20% savings on the purchase of any new baby item by certain manufacturers – including Britax, Chicco, Evenflo and Graco.
Don't Tell Mom, the Babysitter's Inked
As a fairly laid back mom, there are few strict rules we have in our home, but one I hold steady on is using permanent markers on the furniture or themselves. I'll allow Crayola Washables around the house or finger paints in the bathtub, but Sharpies on the skin — no ma'am. I came up with this rule after my child so proudly decorated her hands with the black substance and walked around for days after with lines camouflaging her dainty fingers.

Kidoodle: Jackson Pollack-Inspired Tees
It's time to let the inner Picasso out! Arts and crafts projects don't have to be limited to a pad of paper or a piece of pottery. When your lil one's artistic genius is calling, put them to work on a canvas they can really showcase around town — a t-shirt.At an event held by The Children's Place last week, I was reminded just how much fun it can be to give a preschooler some puffy paint, glitter, and decorations to embellish a shirt.
