      I glanced at my calendar this week and realized it's dangerously close to spring break, which means I have to find some fun activities for my preschooler to do while she's off. So I did what any mom without the Martha gene would do: I cracked open the Klutz book catalog for some craft books that will keep her busy.

      My 5 spring must-haves (I'd get a book for every few days your little boy or girl won't be at school):

      See our favorite Toys for Girls and Toys for Boys on MomFinds.

      1. Good Growing: A Kid's Guide to Green Gardening. New this spring, interactive book helps you teach your kids where their food comes from. Plan to be eating fresh green beans and radishes...at some point.

      2. Fashion Origami. The paper doll goes 3-D (and a little bit zen) this book on foldable fashion. Your budding designer daughter can create her own styles.

      3. Fingerprint Fabulous. There's nothing like the story of the fingerprint to remind your child that she's special and one-of-a-kind.

    • Christian Dior Baby Bottle: Ridiculous or Really Want One?

      As we were browsing the Web on this snowy day, we came across these Christian Dior baby bottles? As first, we kept scrolling right past them, but then it dawned on us: Christian Dior baby bottles? What?! See for yourself:

      christian dior baby bottleSo we just had to ask: are these designer baby bottles absolutely ridiculous, or do you actually sort of want one?

    • Is Fancy Baby Wash Really Worth It?

      If you thought the bodywash selection for you was overwhelming, chances are you'll be equally overwhelmed when you wander down the baby wash aisle. From organic to special formulations, you'll no doubt be tempted at one time or another to spring on one of those expensive brands.

      We'll admit, we've thoroughly enjoyed the sweet-smelling, lavishly lathering soaps that we've received as gifts. We've even given them as gifts ourselves. But when it's our turn to shell out for bath time, we always reach for Johnson's. If it worked for us, it'll work for our children, right?

      So what do you think? Is fancy baby wash worth the extra bucks? Do you swear by the way the expensive brands to make her skin soft, or is the tried and true basic baby wash sufficient?

      2. Get your kid's creative juices flowing with an arts & crafts session. We love this multiuse easel because it makes art a family affair. If you don't have one, though, some paper, crayons, colored pencils and markers will do the trick.
