Boasting a matching toaster and tea set, the Prairie Kettle by Kidkraft is pretty in pink and made of durable wood. I think the Prairie Kettle is a lovely addition to a child’s kitchen play set and will fit nicely into any décor—you’re really not limited to the play room. I can just see the delight on any of my niece’s faces upon opening a box containing this lovely item. For $24.95, it’s not a hit to the wallet at OneStepAhead.com. Easy gift giving? Buy all three pieces, add a Little House on the Prairie book, and have a meaningful set.

It is so important to make learning fun. In Zolo A B Z: An Alphabet Book, the A,B, Zs are the beginning. Your child will enjoy the fun and zany illustrations, including “Kangaroos in the Kitchen,” “Flocks of Flamingos” and “Jiggly Jelllyfish” to name a few.

It also comes with 150 colorful Zolo stickers.
The book is 46 pages long and priced at $16 at Zolo.com. It would make a great gift for the holidays.

Round the Garden: The Poetry in Nature is the story of one “tear” on it’s journey from the earth to the atmosphere and back into the garden. What an intriguing story and one that you’ll enjoy sharing with your children. I’ll bet you and your children will never look at a “tear” the same way. The story is told in a beautiful poem written by Omri Glaser at the age of 7. It’s a graceful introduction to the cycle of water.
This book is 34 pages long. You can view it at Zolo.com. where it costs $16. This is a lovely gift for any holiday or occasion or for none at all.

I’ve mentioned before how tough it can be to find Christening gifts for babies. However, there’s a whole line of things appropriate for the blessed little one at SpiffyBaby.com. I favor Baby’s First Bible in Cotton Eyelet Cover. Made by Elegant Baby, it comes in a gift box, which is perfect for those of us who have two left hands when it comes to wrapping, and can be a keepsake for a child’s lifetime.
Done with care, the Bible itself is just as pretty as the eyelet cover and handy for Sunday service to boot. For a great price of $15.95, the 5.5 x 3” Bible and cover make a Christening gift that won’t soon be forgotten.

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is one of my all time favorite picture books. I loved it as a child, and I have enjoyed sharing it with my own girls. I was so excited recently when someone gifted my toddler with a board book version of this great winter story. With little ones in the house, durable books are a must.
Any child will love the colorful illustrations and fun story that have made this book a favorite for so many years. You can buy one for $6.99 at Amazon.com. It would make a great holiday gift or stocking stuffer.

I always take a lot of photos at Christmas time, but I never seem to do anything creative (or even sensible) with them. This Once Upon a Family Christmas Day Book Photo Album offers an attractive way to keep your family photos organized from year to year. This silk album features an ornate cover and 25 fold out pages. You can either fill it with a year’s photos, or gradually add to your collection over time. Either way, you will be preserving your family memories in an easy to share format.
You can purchase one of these books for $32 at OnceUponaFamily.com. A Hanukkah version is also available.
