3 Sprouts Makes Storage Fun and Eco-Friendly

As a mom, I constantly find myself looking for ways to store all the little toys, books, puzzles, etc. I have decided against those plastic Rubbermaid bins that have no character. I decided to bring home a few of the wonderful 3 Sprouts storage bins from my store.

3 Sprouts took the idea of storage and turned it into a fun, organic theme. These great bins are practical, safe and portable. My son finds no problem filling up these organic bins and the only decision he needs to make is what to put in the monkey bin and what to put in the owl bin.

These 3 Sprouts storage bins are made of 100% organic cotton canvas and 100% eco- spun felt. They measure 17.5 inches tall and 17 inches round and are generous enough to hold quite a few items.

Each bin is able to stand on its own even when empty and include tucked in side handles for easy to carry times. The fun and creative designs include a yellow monkey, orange fox, brown owl, black and white zebra, purple hippo and blue or pink elephant. These organic storage bins are also a blessing for those dirty little hands as they easily spot clean with soap and warm water!

These bins are tough enough to hold tons of stuff and playful enough to compliment any playroom, bedroom and your child's imagination. They are also very cool as laundry bins!

Tickles in Bethel, CT is pleased to carry the full line of 3 Sprouts products to include these bins, picture frames, art smocks and more to add some fun and safe times for children of many ages

Tickles Proudly Presents Pediped Kid's Shoes

I couldn't wait to for the first shipment of pediped children's shoes to arrive my store! They are finally here and they are some of the nicest kid's shoes I have seen, not to mention some of the better quality I have seen as well.

Boys and girls alike can benefit from the orthopedic nature of pediped shoes. This line of shoes is not only good looking, it also concentrates on the proper form for kids and their feet. Pediped is the best footwear that provides soft flexible soles for children from newborn to size 12. Pediped is approved by The American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting healthy foot development. In a few words our kids' feet will develop naturally with these shoes while also having the best in comfort and style.

Visit Tickles for the complete line of pediped children's shoes:
The Originals most closely mimic barefoot walking
Grip 'n' Go - The Perfect Shoe for the Active Toddler
Flex - Combines everything you would want in a rubber soled shoe

The Originals® most closely mimic barefoot walking.  
When children learn to walk they tend to shuffle, so rubber soles or shoes with grip, force children to change their natural stride and can actually make them trip.  Originals® have a durable, slip-resistant leather sole. They’re roomy so the foot can move and grip and they’re flexible so your child can actually feel the floor.  The hand-stitched leather sole allows your child’s foot to breathe.
Plus, Originals® have two layers of the highest quality leather on the market today plus a soft foam insert, so your child’s feet are protected while they’re on the move, INDOORS AND OUT.  Originals® are the most comfortable shoe your child will ever wear and won’t want to take off.
Children’s feet need to last them a lifetime so it’s important to start taking care of them from birth.  pediped® is designed to protect your baby’s feet from crawling to those first amazing steps and into the toddler years.
  

pediped® Grip ‘n’ Go™ - the perfect shoe for the active toddler!  




Pediped Flex® combines everything you would ever want in a rubber soled shoe.  High quality, fine leather and a soft and flexible rubber sole makes Flex® the “next best thing to bare feet”

Critter Caravan's visit to Tickles

Kathryn of Critter Caravan visited Tickles on September 25th, 2010.
She brought all kinds of exotic animals to show us. Kathryn brought us three mammals: a Hedgehog, a Chinchilla, an Angora Rabbit. three reptiles: a Bearded Dragon, a Tortoise, and a Snake. Two Insects: two cockroaches.
Not only did we learn all about these animals, everybody got to touch and pet them!
These animals were from different parts of the world like South America ( I got to know one of my kind), Africa, England and Australia. As we learned about each one of them we got to know their habitats, what they like, how they live and how unique each one of them is.
Hedgehogs are spiny on the outside, so you have to be careful when you touch them.
Their spines help protect them from predators!


Chinchillas are SO soft!  They have to take lots of dust baths to keep their fur clean.
Those whiskers are long and cute! 

 Angora Rabbits are also super-soft. You can shear their wool and make a sweater, just like with a sheep!

 Bearded Dragon have spiny scales arranged in rows and clusters. These are found on the throat, which can be expanded when threatened, and at the back of the head.
 
  Tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. Tortoise live on land and they can live up to 150 years!



Boa is a large, heavy-bodied specie of snake. From adults to kids we all enjoy holding and wearing the Boa! There were some brave boy who wanted to try on their necks! I could not past that opportunity. The body was cold!
The show ended with a cockroach race. With pom poms we all kept shouting for our favorite Cockroach to win!
 
 From Adults to kids we all had such a great time learning, seeing and touching. There were so many kids and parents and I am so happy we had such a nice activity for every age. It was an hour full of fun and no one stopped paying attention to this great show. Kathryn is really good with everyone and the animals are so cute.
Thank you to all the kids and parents who made this show so fun. All the kids were so well behaved and were very patient waiting for their turn when we were passing the animals around. 


So, if you are thinking of something exciting and educational for a birthday party, Critter Caravan is a great way to go! Here is the info:
