Year-round water fun with Coconut Pool Floats

Now that we’re in full summer swing, our awesome new Coconut Floats have already gotten quite the workout at our friend’s lake house and at pool dates. I knew the kids were going to love them, but I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with them myself. But, I find their floats are perfect for relaxing in and getting in all the kiddo snuggles I want, without worrying about whether or not it will survive our play.

Summertime magic with Creativity for Kids

If I was giving this summer a name, it would most definitely be the summer of magic. All things Harry Potter are huge in our house, the kids spend their time creating magic potions, and everything we do is looked at through a lens of magic. It makes perfect sense that the kids should also be growing their own magic beans and creating a magic unicorn land with the help of Faber-Castell, right?
