Pirate Week: Our Favorite Toys
Shiver me Timbers! Did you know that this Friday is Talk Like a Pirate Day? Yep, that’s Alpha Mom’s favorite holiday. So, all week we’ll be counting down, highlighting some fun finds to plunder and ideas to celebrate. Today is pirate toys.


When children head off to their first day of school (first grade), they get this traditional school cone known as Schultüte to make this eagerly awaited day a bit sweeter. The schultute is filled with school supplies, treats, small toys and other small goodies.
The thought of staplers and young kids is very scary. But, now I have come across a staple-free stapler. Go ahead and “staple” away.
Even though this gadget is adorned with a little snowman, this is the perfect season to bust out the Snoopy Sno-Cone Maker. Enjoy!
Continuing our Gardening with Kids series, we tackle vegetables and other edibles like wheat grass, lettuce and scarlet runner beans. Enjoy!
Making terrariums with youngsters is not only easy but a beautifully green project.
