"For Home EC: Of course your child won't really experience the glory of home economics for another decade or so but when they get into nursery school and gather around the pretend kitchen a spark goes off and they suddenly become a bit more interested in cooking/cleaning on the home front. At least my toddler did! Apron For Art Class: Rogue crayons and pencils are my pet peeve. I don't even let Ruby play with markers at home. I know, I am a bad mom but deep inside you know those loose art supplies drive you batty too. Keep it all together with an Art Folio. Lunch Time: Homemade lunch is great. It's even better when packaged with love in a stylish tote. You can almost see the heart shape in carved into the peanut butter...... Lunch Tote. For Naps: Laying down on a cold icky cot just isn't cool so here is our pick for naptime comfort. Pony Nap Set."
