It is a beautiful house that best of all comes fully furnished. The furniture is not the greatest, but still nice.

Here are some of the good points about this Barbie 3-Story Dream Townhouse:

¨       Manufacture offer one year warranty.

The only drawback that I can think of is that the set do not include the Barbie toy, so you need to buy it separately. I think it was very sturdy unless your child plans to climb on it. No different from any other dollhouse made from Barbie.

Overall I think the Barbie 3-story dream townhouse is really great. The overall customers rating in major stores like Amazon, Walmart and Toysrus are above 4 stars out of 5.

If you want a beautiful house for your daughter with lights and sounds, get it, follow these tips and I don’t think you will be disappointed.

The Evenflo  car seat (Triumph 65 (rear facing) )actually will be better in your car than the SnugRide and allows the front seat to slide back further. They have a Scion xB, so it is not a giant vehicle. They will switch to front facing when his legs grow long to be rear facing, which looks like it will be some time

your son will likes  evenflo car seat much better than the infant  car seat  cause He is up higher and can see out. The only reason I docked it a star is because of the location of the strap tightening knob and loosening lever. It is difficult, though not impossible, to access in rear-facing mode. I do not think it will be an issue when front facing. However, it is feasible to get him in and out of the chair without loosening the straps, so this is not usually an issue.

I cannot imagine how! I like this seat. They had our son rear facing in it until he was two, and now have him forward facing in it. It is simple to change the straps and the height- and it is simple to remove the cover for washing. There are only two negatives I can think of.  

1-When the seat was rear facing it can be a small difficult to reach the lever to loosen the straps, but I blame that mostly on my tiny vehicle.  

2-. The straps can get crooked easily- but it is not difficult to straighten in back out, but I could see this being an issue with most seats (it happens with our Graco child chair and it is much harder to fix )

Also we have been on long journeys and our son never complains- the chair has an additional cushion that goes in it for small one’s bottom. 

 it’s the best tightening mechanism hands-down. It is so simple to make use of – you crank the knobs on the side to tighten the straps…no more pulling the strap trying to get it tight , no more broken fingernails, bruised hands, grunting, sweat… It is so incredibly simple. The chair also appears to be well made and the fabric is soft and cushy and has worn well through several washings. HIGHLY recommend this chair.

Five Little Pumpkins Nursery Rhyme

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said, “oh my it’s getting late.”
The second one said, “there are witches in the air.”
The third one said, “but we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “let’s run and run and run.”
The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!”
OOOhh OOOhh went the wind
and out went the lights
and the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight

Pumpkin song for the very young

Just sing this to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Pumpkin pumpkin on the ground
How’d you get so big and round
Planted as a seed so small
Now you are a great big ball
Pumpkin pumpkin on the ground
How’d you get so big and round

Wow, that is a long time to share the love of Hello Kitty with much of kids and now my twins love her too. This lovable toy (character) appears to find its way through every generation. I remember when Hello Kitty was brought into the marketplace, at least when I first saw her in shops and malls. 

I remember my mall had a Hello Kitty store, full of all this Hello Kitty merchandise. I must have been nine or ten when I bought my first Hello Kitty toy. 

I was purchasing this adorable kitty cat and so were my friends. All my friends, from the district and school, had this young kitty and I remember taking mine to school and showing off my latest “pet” toy.  You might imagine the Hello Kitty toy (character) was created in Japan, but that is not true. As it turns out, Hello Kitty and her family, were created in Europe in 1974. Now, the company that makes this endearing character is Sanrio, a Japanese firm, but she was created in Europe. 

Did you realise that Hello Kitty has a twin sister? Yes, her twin sister’s name is Mimi and her parents are George and Mary. It is as if these characters are real, in a sense. As I stated above, now my twins, who are not indistinguishable, like Hello Kitty and are great friends just like Mimi and Hello Kitty are.

The Hello Kitty brand has expanded in a big way. When this product was first produced, all that was obtainable to little girls were some toys and stationary. Now, virtually everywhere you go, mall, strip mall, mass retailers and online, you will find garments such as tank tops, shirts, jumpers, socks, boots, flip flops, umbrellas, watches, rings, necklaces, backpacks, lunch boxes, clocks and so much more. 

Anything you like can be discovered in their shops and online. There appear to be more products online than in stores, but it seems more and more Hello Kitty items are being made and added everyday.

Some more items you child might like are a variety of video games – there are quite a few video games to play today. Along with video games, there are movies, books, stickers and tattoos. The subject matter of Hello Kitty goes on and on. It does not matter where your child is, they can get and or use Hello Kitty. 

If your youngster is having a party, you can purchase party plates, cups, decorations and face painting kits. If you or your child has a mobile phone, you can now use a cell phone cover or case for your iPhone4. 

Little girls, or older girls, can purchase Hello Kitty bedding as well. For adult women, if you use a credit card, a Hello Kitty Credit Card is now available too. Hello Kitty has been and continues to remain a very popular brand for kids and adults alike.

Despite that more people like tigers than loathe them. This is one of the factors why the tiger face is very popular as a pattern for face painting for children’s dos. Face painting has been common with many cultures for thousands of years although most individuals would think that it is a modern phenomenon.

Think about ancient cultures like America’s Native Tribes and their war paint. The ancient Celts in northern Europe used woad as war paint and make-up. Aborigine Australians used face paint and so have Asians from India and Pakistan to China and Japan where the most famous wearers of face paint are the Geisha girls.

Tigers are in essence Asian animals, so it is no surprise that Asians have venerated this colossal wild cat for thousands of years  and started using it as a style in face painting.

If you want to try painting a tiger face onto your child’s face, be sure that the paints that you use are safe for purpose and certainly do not contain any lead. However, there are special face painting kits obtainable that ought to all be trustworthy.

First of all, clean the face of any natural oil and perspiration and then dry it. If the child has long hair, fasten it back until you are done. Some face paints are applied with a damp sponge, so we will go with that procedure for now. First apply a white foundation around the eyes and where a man’s beard would be.

Next apply yellow to the centre of the face including the nose but not the end of the nose. Paint an orange border around the edge of your work to distinguish it from the hairline and clothes. Then comes black; applying it with a brush, paint on a couple of stripes, the whiskers and the tip of the nose. The last step, if desired, is to add a bit of yellow glitter to better catch the light.

With a little practice, a tiger face can be applied almost as quickly as the paint dries and you could paint on several children at a time, applying say, the white, to as many kids as it takes for the first one to dry.

As stated above, there are lots of face painting kits on the market. Look out for Crayola. They supply a cheap kit for about $12 and it comes with paints, brushes, sponges and instructions. There are others too. You can remove the tiger face paint with ordinary baby lotion or baby oil on a wad of cotton wool. 

I have described the fundamental ‘tiger face’, but there are lots of varieties. look at the Disney cartoon tigers for inspiration or go to the zoo to see how truthful they were at Disney.

If you do this type of thing frequently, then you already have an notion how to go about organizing an event or party, but otherwise a decent tip is to maintain a scrapbook of suggestions. 

It is a good notion if you do it often too. Each time you go to a decent party or get a decent idea, put an entry in the scrapbook to be researched more thoroughly later.

Soon you will have a portfolio of ideas fantastic, good, silly and outrageous. If you are working with others on your event, you could either share your scrapbook with the others or select the most likely acceptable approaches and brainstorm them with your colleagues, the results of which can go back in your scrapbook.

The first thing is that your event will probably have a natural theme. For instance, a Golden Wedding Anniversary will have a different natural theme from a New Year’s Eve Party. You may want to work on the natural theme or create one  of your own. For example, a child’s birthday party might have the theme of ‘pirates’ or ‘Treasure Island’ or ‘Hello Kitty’ or merely a colour like ‘pink’.

When you have your theme the rest comes far more easily. The decorations will match the theme, obviously, but frequently you can match the food and drink to it as well. If you look through a good cook book or search on line for themed foods, you are certain to find hundreds of suggestions. 

Using appropriate theme words for everyday items helps to. For example, everybody knows that pirates drink grog and pink cocktails are known as ‘Pink Ladies’. There are many others too. Sausage rolls could be called ‘Dead Men’s Fingers’ and cakes might have pink icing. Once you are into the swing of thinking in themes, you ought to find that ideas come rushing in especially if you are working with others and you can bounce ideas off one another. 

For example, many people like dressing up for a fun party (perhaps not a retirement do), so it could become a fancy dress party. If you do not want to go that far, you could merely get a face painter. Face painting is good fun for young children’s parties.

Fireworks will help a party go with a bang and you can keep the display completely safe by getting in a professional to set up the displays (themed or not) and ignite them. Otherwise you could hire an entertainer like a musician, a clown, an after dinner speaker, a comedian, a band or dancers and karaoke or a disco-jockey. These events are not necessarily expensive.

Occasionally, local colleges or amateur dramatic societies can supply an act. If the event is an outdoor fund raiser, you can have stalls, which will pay you a fee to be able to sell their merchandise at your event. Whatever you do begin planning early.

Making shrunken heads from apples is actually an early American tradition that started when early settlers made dolls using apples for the heads. They did this by carving a face on an apple and then drying it. Now of course, they are used for movies, videos, haunted houses and Halloween decorations. By soaking a carved apple in a solution of water, lemon and salt, the salt will draw moisture out of the apple once it has be removed from the soaking bath and the lemon will help keep the color of the shrunken apple head light and fairly uniform.

Quick tips:

1. Select an apple that is fairly round and as large as possible. Apples shrink significantly in size as they dry, so the bigger the apple you start with, the better.
2. Your carved apple head will also take up to two weeks to to dry so be sure to begin this project in plenty of time for Halloween.
3. The best way to dry your apple is to hang it from a string. Try not to hang it directly in front of a window that receives a lot of sunshine; the warmth and brightness can encourage rot. You also want to avoid very moist areas, such as the kitchen sink or near the washing machine in the utility room. If you can hang them in a cool dark garage, that is ideal.

Be as simple or as detailed when carving your apple head as you wish and have fun with this great Halloween craft project!

Ingredients

1 (or more) large-size, fairly round apple(s)
Bowl of water
2 tbsp. salt
2 lemon wedges
Vegetable peeler
Small knife for carving
Whole cloves if desired
Kite string or other heavy string

Directions

1. Prepare your water about 15 minutes before you are ready to dip your apple(s). Do this by filling a large deep bowl with about four cups of cool water. Pour in the salt and then squeeze juice from the lemon wedges into the bowl. Stir for several seconds so that the salt will begin to dissolve into the water and the fresh lemon juice will blend.
2. Peel the apple with your vegetable peeler; leave the stem on if desired (it will not affect the drying process). Coring your apple isn’t necessary for drying, but if you wish, you can create a longer, more drawn “face” by coring. (Non-cored apples will end up more round or square in shape.)
3. Begin carving a face into the apple. You will be carving inward around the most prominent facial feature—the nose. The eyes should be sunken into the apple. Don’t worry about details at this point; just exaggerate whatever features you’d like to stand out on your finished project. For deeply-set eyes, make sure the eyebrow ridge stands out fairly far, and place a clove in the center of each to make a dent once the head is dry. Make sure that you cut deep. When the apple shrivels up you will lose some of the definition in your cut so make sure to cut everything a bit bigger/deeper than you think it should be.
4. When you are done carving, soak your apple in the prepared water. Let it sit for a minimum of 10 minutes or longer if you live in a high humidity area. Spin the apple a few times as it soaks.
5. Add some white rice for teeth (just push it into the apple and the apple will shrink around it to keep it in place.)
6. Hang your apple up to dry using kite string or other heavy duty kitchen string.

Once your shrunken apple head is dry (in about two weeks) you can begin to really have fun with it. You can display it as is or add some very fun details. Glue some large grains of rice in the mouth for teeth if the original ones fell out during the dying process. Make them jagged and scary looking! Or you can glue some strands of pet hair on the top for that scary old man look.

Have fun!
