Items my kids use that actually work

My favorite toys for learning, building skills, and having fun!
An abacus is such a good tool for hands-on learning for kids. As usual, Melissa and Doug made a high quality toy with bright colors. I’ve had this one for several years and it still looks like new.

My son loves bringing his binoculars to the zoo so he can see the animals up close. These binoculars are durable, light, and safe for kids to use. The lanyard part has a break-away feature so kids won’t get hurt with it around their neck.

Great products for kids’ sensitive skin
This is gentle on the skin and GREAT for any diaper rash. I apply it at the first signs of any irritation and it has prevented things from progressing further. I like that I can buy it in a large size for home and a travel size for the diaper bag.
