Green Thumb Fun
Get your hands dirty with a little gardening fun! Gardening is not only a fantastic way to teach kids about nature and responsibility, but it also provides a sense of accomplishment as they watch their plants grow and flourish. Stock up on kid-friendly gardening supplies like gloves, shovels, watering cans, and seeds, and let them get creative in the garden. From planting colourful flowers to growing their own fruits and vegetables, there's no limit to what they can achieve!

Culinary Creations
Turn your kitchen into a culinary playground with fun cooking kits for kids! Learning to cook not only helps kids develop important life skills, but it also fosters creativity and encourages healthy eating habits. Choose from a variety of cooking kits designed specifically for kids, complete with easy-to-follow recipes. From homemade pizza and cookies to delicious smoothies and sandwiches, the possibilities are endless!

Sunshine and Sports
Head outside for a little vitamin D and a round of soccer! Soccer is a fun way to teach your kids about teamwork and cooperation. It also helps develop their hand-eye coordination, concentration and attention to detail–skills useful both on and off the field. As an added plus for parents, physical activity is always a great way to tucker your little ones out and make bedtime easier. Choose from the many fun soccer ball designs we have to start this summer hobby! Not into soccer? Introduce flag football to your little ones with our kid sized football!
