These products help make the day go a little bit smoother for your kids and you! A lot of times, kids are more sensitive to things in the environment because their little bodies are growing so rapidly. Reducing toxins is really important for everyone, especially kids.
When I was 16 my mom was ill at Christmas, so on Christmas Eve I took on the task of playing Santa – getting the presents under the tree and filling the Christmas stockings. It was probably 10:30 at night on Christmas Eve when I realized that Mom had gotten stocking stuffers for my sister and I, but the boy friendly stocking stuffers for my brother were sadly very few. This was before 24 hour Walmarts and my brother ended up with a lot of candy from the gas station because that was all I could find. So my advice, plan ahead.

Why are fine motor skills important? They're connected to writing, reading, mathematical skills later on. Have you ever seen a child cry because it's taking too long to cut the paper? Have you see a learner frustrated because they can't quite hold the pencil up to write the two words on the paper? Give your learner a little boost and help them build their fine motor skills early. *Fine motor skills are a HUGE factor in the achievement gap come first and second grade.
