As a former teacher and now stay-at-home mom, I can attest to the fact that kids are almost always BUSY BUSY BUSY! They have limitless amounts of energy and I believe in fostering that energy into playful creativity! I also know how easy it is to collect items your kids use for about 15 minutes and then they become lost somewhere in their toy box.
This is why Jaq Jaq Bird by Sam & Bellie is so great! They have a variety of items that are cute, functional, simple, and MULTI-PURPOSE!!! I received their Chalk Mat in the adorable, bright ‘Airplane’ print. One side is used as a place mat for mealtimes (or why not play-doh?!) and the other side is a little chalk mat. There’s also a little pouch to hold your little ‘artist’s’ tools. You can find Chalk Markers, or Butterstix for this purpose, also on their website! I live in a rather small place and although an easel would be fun, this is much more reasonable. It’s even better in my opinion because it can easily roll up and go with you to a restaurant, on the plane or to a coffee shop to occupy your little one while you visit and catch up with a friend!
I feel strongly about the products my son uses, making sure that they are safe and free from toxins. Jaq Jaq Bird is an Eco-friendly company that makes sure their items are PVC, BPA, and phthalate free. Their prints are even made with water-based dyes and even their packaging is made from at least 50% recycled materials. How’s that for doing their part for our environment?! Not only do they care the environment but when visiting their home page, I was really impressed with their care for the tragic, recent happenings in Japan. Right now, when you order from them, they will donate 10% to the relief efforts along with a note in your name. How great is that?!
You can also find splat mats for under your child’s high chair to keep those messy meals to a minimum, bibs, aprons, and storage pouches. They all serve a purpose and come in super cute and colorful prints. Their products make excellent and unique gifts for birthday parties, or other special occasions. Check them out, and make sure to enter here for a chance to win your own Chalk Mat!
