Kids emulate the adults in their lives. So why wouldn't your son imitate you babywearing his younger sibling? Why not foster nurturing behavior in our boys? Some boys like baby dolls! Big deal!

Etsy seller Squarepear has the right idea with this blue camo ring sling for boys. What a great way to prepare your sons for a new baby in the house, or to illustrate gentleness to a smaller sibling or friend.

Squarepear makes girly baby doll slings too, and even some for dads!

Help me, Hand Solo, you're my only hope!

How awesome are these Star Wars finger puppets? SUPER WAY AWESOME, that is how much. 

I know a bunch of kids (and, um, adults really big kids) who would love these. And can you imagine the possibilities one could dream up? Chewbacca could come with your kids to the Doctor's office. Yoda could advise the eating of vegetables. Luke Skywalker could read bedtime stories. Wow.

But if Star Wars isn't your kid's thing, Littlefox71 has a ton of other way cute finger puppets, like Thomas the Train, Wizard of Oz, and your standard animals and stuff. So give your kids the finger.

Okay, so before I became a SAHM, I was a preschool teacher for 5 years and a nanny for 3 years. One thing I can say for sure is that pretty much all kids enjoy playing with pretend food. Another thing I'm certain of is that all of them will put it in their mouth at some point.  With the typical plastic play food, that becomes pretty gross, very quickly.

But with felt food, from Etsy seller kiddycouture, your kids can play chef, farmer, shopping, whatever, without sucking down BPA and phthalates and petrochemicals in plastic food sets.  Just pop the felt food in the delicate cycle when they get manky with spit.

Kiddycouture makes many cute items like breakfast sets, sandwich sets, and even fried chicken, if you're into that!
