Wee can too edible paint

Wee Can Too is a paint product that is safe to use with our infants and toddlers without the worry of "what if they eat or lick it". I know as a mom, I prefer to use products like Wee Can Too with babies and young children because it is non-toxic and is made from organic food based products. It is gluten free, vegan and dairy free so it could be safely used with children over 6 months.
It gives a lovely opportunity for children to start painting at a young age. The tottle set comes with purple, orange, green, red/pink and yellow. The paint is in a powder form. It is better to put it in a container and mix it with the amount of water you prefer; this way you can use it many times. It is a squeezable container, so we can add the water directly and do a squeeze painting with an older child. If there is any painting remaining it can be refrigerated for up to a month.

The texture and the faint smell reminded me of baby cereal. It is better to use paint clothes with the little ones because the fruit and vegetable extracts i.e. blueberries may stain clothing. Although it is made with safe edible ingredients, doesn't mean it is for consumption.
The sidewalk chalk made with edible products would be perfect for us to have fun with babies outside during spring and summer.

This is a lovely product that promotes "Art from the Start" and We Can Too is a finalist at the Crisbie Awards so vote for it and confirm your vote at the bottom of the page. Every vote counts, as the Honest Company will donate a diaper to Baby2Baby. Have fun with your little messy artists and win your tottle set by following their Facebook and tweets.

Savoury snack and Barbie I Can Be blog tour

As a young girl, I would say my grandmother has given me a lot of motivation and valuable inspiration. I try to teach these values I learned to my daughter.

Going to the movies at Empire reel babies

I am excited to be part of the Empire reel babies blog tour. We are looking forward to go to the movies with the little one; and not worry if he will start to fuss because Empire reel babies is a place for like minded moms.

In the Empire reel babies program there are new release movies twice a month. It is a baby friendly environment, so no need for babysitters. The theatre is equipped with change table, bottle warmer, play mat and swing so while watching we can take care of the little one. The lights are dim and volume lower and the theatre would be a perfect outing for parents to enjoy with children and friends. Checkout their site for more information.

Promotions, coupons and free passes coming soon, so do follow createwithmom and don't miss these opportunities.
