12 Days of Pet-mas: Kid stuff
A quick internet search will turn up thousands upon thousands of animal slippers for kids -- dinosaurs, sharks, Nemo gear, and so on -- but if you want an almost scarily realistic pair of slippers representing your family's favorite dog breed, look no further than these Schnauzer slippers by Dambino ($23.59 on Amazon). The company makes several other breeds, like Shih Tzus and Dalmatians, and you can also get the Himalayan-cat slippers.
If you want something the younguns won't grow out of quite as fast, get them some animal art supplies. AlphaPets Origami ($12 at Uncommon Goods) is a board book and an origami manual, including instructions and pre-scored fold marks to make creating a paper zoo cinchy for little hands.
Little hands can also draw their own zoo with the animal crayons from Giggle.com ($7). They come in a cute bus-shaped box, and they're plastic, not wax, which makes for easier coloring (and less melting on hands).
