Foam Fridge Magnet

I was thinking of a craft for the children and since I have some foam in the cupboard, I thought I would use them.


So, here's a craft with foam, magnet, color pen and glittering glue stick. It's rather simple.


1) Trace your child's hand onto the foam and cut it out.

2) Stick the cut out hand shaped foam onto foam of another color and cut according to the shape leaving a space so that we can see the double layer effect.

3) Punch or cut some smaller shapes (any shapes) and glue them onto the hand shaped foam. You can use stickers if you like.

4) Write words using color pen or glittering glue stick. If your child can't write, cut out alphabets from magazines or foam and stick on it.

5) Glue magnet behind and your fridge magnet is done.

"Love brings us together" and "I'll lend you my hand" are two quotes I rather like and this would be a great gift for parents. Imagine your child telling you "I'll lend you my hand" and when you put this up on the fridge, it reminds your child of his or her promise that he or she would help you whenever possible.

All For Our Children

I guess many parents of today place importance in education and they would do anything for their children when it comes to things related to education.


When it comes to starting a new year in school, parents would bring their children for back to school shopping and children would get everything new. New uniform, new shoes, new socks, new bag, new pencil case, new pencils, new erasers and new sharpeners to start the year right. Sometimes I think children of today are really different from our generation. We don’t get everything new, do we?


When it comes to children school shoes, I always prefer to get a comfortable pair and one that is easy to wear for my children. Startriteshoes.com offers many suitable children school shoes. Usually, I would buy two pairs for each child, a pair for a week.


Startriteshoes.com has also launched a new social community, very suitable for parents like us to get some parenting advice. There are many discussion topics which I find very useful ranging from education and school to hobbies and activities, from nutrition and health to walking and crawling as well as from baby names to first shoes.
