With spring just around the corner, or at least we in the North East hope it is, it’s a great time to enjoy some indoor fun while we wait.
There is a new site that is called We Heart Cats, by April Gilford. It is especially for kids an parents who love cats and anything to do with cats. There are games, puzzles and interesting facts about our favorite feline friends. Check it out with the cat lovers in your life.
For the little girls who love to pretend princess and fairy, here is a great article by Summer M., Make Faeries Real. For indoor fun, the crafts she mentions are simple and fun, with results that will make your little girl feel beautiful.
For you lego fans, read about the Lego Gunship at our toybender site. Legos have been a favorite indoor fun toy for a long time, and there is no end to what you can build with them.
And finally, for you who can’t wait to get out, bring the outdoors in with some indoor gardering. Check out Garden and Earth.
