It's Gardening Time Again!
Posted by: admin
ParentsWorld Shop Who thinks Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year?  Not me, to me that's the spring and gardening time!

Gardening is often overlooked as a special event to share with your child. Think about it - what child doesn't like playing in the dirt and mud? What's more satisfying that planting a seed and watching it grow and bloom?  Gardening with your child is also great as it's something you do over the span of a few months and not just in o­ne day.  Dirt is free, seeds are cheap, the fun is endless. Rest assured that if you take the time to garden with your child this summer, it's something they'll remember for always!

Looking for supplies beyond just the free dirt from your yard? Check out what we've put together for you o­n our Gardening Page.  It has everything from plants to noodle sprinklers and flower aquariums.  Peek inside and see today!

Helping your Kids Cope with Divorce... 

Helping Your Kids Cope with Divorce the Sandcastles Way
Kids tend to blame themselves when parents divorce. The Sandcastles workshop--now mandatory in over a dozen counties throughout the United States--is a half-day group session for children of divorce between the ages of 6 and 17. This intensive workshop helps kids open up and deal with their feelings through drawings, games, poetry, role playing, and other activities.

The book is also packed full of suggestions o­n everything from the best way to break the divorce news to a child (it differs according to age group) to facing the holidays, visitation, custody arrangements, anger, discipline, co-parenting, single parenting, overcompensation, sorrow, custody fights, and much more.

"So much of life depends o­n how well we deal with the inevitable losses that occur. It is wonderful to know that something as helpful as The Grief Recovery Handbook exists to help those who are dealing with death, divorce, and other losses." Jane Seymour, Award Winning Actress, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

"You don't know me, but you probably knew of my Dad, Michael Landon. I have known and been helped by John W. James and Russell Friedman, in seminars and through the incredible process outlined in The Grief Recovery Handbook. Whether your loss was recent or a long time ago, this book is invaluable in dealing with all of the feelings caused by significant losses of any kind." Leslie Landon Matthews, Ph.D.

Carrier by Baby Bjorn
Average Customer Review:
Usually ships in 24 hours

Features:
Machine-washable, 100 percent cotton
Tested for 8 to 25 pounds
Promotes bonding and closeness
Size adjustable
Can be worn while breastfeeding

Editorial Review from Amazon/Babysrus.com
A little more expensive than most other baby carriers, this Baby Björn Carrier offers parents some wonderful design features that make it worth the extra money. By allowing you to hold your baby snugly against your chest, the carrier promotes a sense of comfort and closeness between a parent and a child. It also allows you to maintain eye contact with and talk to your little o­ne during trips to the store, walks around the house, and short hikes. The carrier's other big advantage is that it frees up both your hands while you carry your baby. The navy blue carrier consists of a large triangular front piece that supports baby's head and body, along with a set of thick padded straps that are worn like a shoulder-and-waist harness. Newborns and smaller babies should always ride rear-facing in the carrier, while older babies who can hold their heads upright unassisted can ride forward-facing and enjoy the view ahead of them. Made of machine-washable, 100 percent cotton, the carrier can be easily adjusted from the front for your baby's size. Although the carrier has been tested for use with babies who weigh from 8 to 25 pounds, some parents found that the carrier became uncomfortable to wear and placed a lot of strain o­n the lower back when it was used to carry a child weighing more than 20 pounds. --Chris Burns

Hand made from around the world
Posted by: admin
ParentsWorld Shop
From Ghana   From Chile
iconicon Hornblower Carved Wood Figurine (Ghana) icon The slender, smooth, curved lines of this finely carved ebony wood figurine will add an elegant yet exotic accent to any decor.

Handcrafted by artisans of Ghana, it stands approximately 10 inches tall and has a rich, dark finish. Be sure to see the other unique and beautiful handmade pieces also sold in our Artisans of Worldstock department.

The handcrafted nature of this product will produce slight variations in color, form, and sizing. All measurements are approximate.

 
iconicon Chilean Rainstick (Chile) icon Standing a majestic 100 centimeters (39 inches) tall and authentically painted in vivid colors, the handcrafted Chilean rainstick is the quintessential conversation piece.

This handmade rainstick is crafted from cactus wood and filled with river stones. Each thorn from the dried cactus plant is pressed into the hollow shaft of the rainstick to create the music of gently falling rain as the river stones fall over them. The rainsticks are then individually painted.

The handcrafted nature of this product will produce slight variations in pattern and color. Measurements are approximate.

   
 From Hungary  From India
iconicon Tizsa Veil Glass Vase (Hungary) icon Add a touch of European flair to your decor with our festive Hungarian veil glass Tizsa vases.

These colorful vases are created in a family-owned business in the Carpathian foothills of eastern Hungary, a business which involves nearly the entire community. With the fall of Communism, the family restored a dilapidated production plant (that had been devoted to high-quality glass and optic production for the Eastern Bloc) and put their generations of skill to work in the free market.

Veil glass, or overshot glass, is mouth-blown and handcrafted using techniques which have largely disappeared in the United States since the turn of the century due to their labor-intensive nature. The recently privatized company crafting these vases has adhered to all the standards of the European Union Environmental Criteria in restoring an historic style to the market.

Handmade glass will vary slightly in color and form. All measurements are approximate.

 
iconicon Three Steel Bud Vases with Stands (India) icon Lending simple elegance to your environment, this set of three bud vases in metal stands complements any contemporary decor.

Glass cylinders sit upon steel stands with a naturally antiqued patina. Group them together for an impressive display, or let o­ne stand alone to highlight a spectacular blossom. Choose from 18-inch or 24-inch stands.

The hand-forged stands are fabricated in Benares, India by adult artisans, a coalition of steel craftsmen. The fire that fashions these lovely stands is also the fire o­n which these artisans cook their nightly meals.

Sales of these artisans' products have provided valuable income for the community, generating new jobs, and empowering local residents to overcome obstacles that hinder their access to education, health care, and housing.

The handcrafted nature of this product will produce slight variations in color, form, and sizing. All measurements are approximate.
