At least not without one of these fantastic umbrellas from Kidorable!

PVC covered and very durable these umbrellas are perfect for staying dry during all those April showers.
Also, I think it’s also got to be more fun to wear too. After all how can you not have fun romping through puddles and dancing in the rain when you’re a pirate, mermaid, or my favorite a blooming lotus flower? Lots of great styles are available at Area Kids!

SCOOT your way into SPRING!

The mini kickboard is the quality scooter for young children. Its unique ‘lean-and-steer’ design allows children to direct the scooter by using their body weight to curve from side to side. This design puts the rider in control as they enjoy the feeling of ’surfing the sidewalks’!

The mini kickboard is constructed with 3 wheels for greater stability and control, allowing children to ride with confidence. The polyurethane wheels also create a wonderfully smooth glide — and a quiet ride (a joy for both parents and children!) The rear ’spoon’ brake provides additional control for the rider.

The mini kickboard is low-to-the-ground and large enough for two feet, making it easy for riders to hop on and off or to switch from pushing to simply enjoying the ride. Its light weight makes it easy for parents or kids to pick up and carry when necessary.

The mini kickboard makes scooting fun for young children as well as helping to develop their balance, coordination and motor skills.

Oh So Tasty Apple Pie

Ariel — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:12:09 +0000

Use the wooden knife to slice the apple into four pieces
Place a piece of sliced apple into each of the pie slices in the pie plate. Make sure the apple slices attach to the pie slices.
Lay the top crust over the apple slices and “bake”
When the apple pie is finished baking, slice the pie using the wooden knife
Try this Wooden Make and Serve Apple pie set from Melissa and Doug. Perfect for picnics in the back yard on a warm summer day! After you master the wood pie you can try a real one with this tasty recipe:

Ingredients

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
8 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
