Today is the second day of the Gear Up For Summer Block Party and I am happy to be one of your hostesses along with the lovely Bridgette of the Not-So-Blog Blog! She is giving away a Ju-Ju-Be BeMine bag and a Playdoh Spaghetti Factory so make sure you make her blog your next stop.
My summertime theme is an indoor picnic on a rainy day. What makes a better picnic than good food and good music?
RoxStar Designs is a boutique that specializes in felt play foods, but is now slowly expanding into cloth diapers and handmade toys. This boutique gladly welcomes custom orders.
Below you will find examples of felt pretend foods I had purchased for my own children from the RoxStar Designs' Etsy shop. I was so pleased with these items that I named felt foods items from RoxStar Designs as my most recent ABOG Top Pick for Kids.
****************************************************
Now for the music . . . The "Sweets 'n' Treats" children's music CD by Tracey Singer is scheduled to be available to the public on July 7th, 2009. If you listen to samples on TraceySinger.com, you will find that the songs on this CD have a touch of everything . . . from oldies to folk, from jazz to easy listening. Tracey's CD is perfect for our block party because there are quite a few songs on it about summertime.
