Pip & Bean, which is offering our readers a giveaway of a
Superhero Set: Reversible Cape, Reversible Mask, and Arm Bands, a value of $25.
Up, up, and away!
Mikko has got a serious obsession right now with superheroes. So when I saw the
fabulous shiny capes in Pip & Bean's Etsy shop, I knew Mikko would be thrilled.
Fun fact: Mikko wore his reversible cape, mask, and arm bands out while running errands, in the car seat and in the store, and
then to bed that night! He's a fan. A
superfan.

Adjusting his disguise in the car. The mask is made of two layers of sturdy felt with elastic firmly sandwiched between, so you can flip it to either color. Mikko must think his mask feels comfortable, because he left it on a long time! It's got nice wide eyeholes so seeing through it is still easy.

The arm bands are a similar sturdy felt. They come in just one of the coordinating shades, which was fine, and they slip on easily. They seemed to be very comfortable, too — easier for a kid to wear than gloves but still lending that superhero panache to the outfit.

The reversible cape is made of two thick, premium layers of satin. The drape and flow of the fabrics is excellent, and it just feels so nice to the touch. That might explain why Mikko slept in his! It also stood up to the Seattle rain admirably and still looks nice — I love children's wear that's washable!


The
giveaway to win your own copy of Playful Parenting, valued at $19, ends
today, January 29.
Dr. Larry Cohen's #1 parenting book,
Playful Parenting,

shows how play is the way children communicate, and it's the way we as parents can meet them where they are — to work through strong emotions, explore vulnerabilities safely, and ease tough transitions and behavioral issues.

Dr. Larry Cohen is offering readers at Natural Parents Network a giveaway of a copy of the #1 parenting book
Playful Parenting
!
Play is the way children communicate, and it's the way we as parents can meet them where they are — to work through strong emotions, explore vulnerabilities safely, and ease tough transitions and behavioral issues.
NPN's reviewer for the book,
Dionna of Code Name: Mama, had this to say:
"Playful Parenting is my personal favorite parenting book. Dr. Cohen focuses on establishing trusting connections between parents and children, rethinking the way we discipline, and empowering and believing in our children. But even better than the lessons in a positive parenting philosophy, he offers concrete examples of how to implement play in your everyday parenting. Dr. Cohen explains why and how parents playing with children can not only promote closeness and confidence, but it can ease discipline challenges and sibling rivalry."
When I read it, I was very impressed with
Playful Parenting and its message of respecting children by getting down on the floor to play. Check out, for example,
"Follow a child's lead in play" and
"Rainy-day movement ideas for toddlers." I know you'll enjoy entering for
a copy of the paperback book or the audio book on CD!
So
head on over by this Saturday, January 29 to enter to win your own copy of Playful Parenting, valued at $19. Contest is open to U.S. and Canada.
