PUPPETS!

A dear friend introduced me to
these puppets years ago now and I can't believe
it has taken me this long to have them back in stock.
Every one of them is so special, as they are handmade
and always use different fabrics and yarns.
From Pinnochio to Pirates, Gypsy girls to Grandpas
you will for sure fall in love with one of them.
Well, probably all of them!
For now we only have one of each in stock
for the holidays.
But we promise to keep them stocked up
in the new year.

WOODEN TOYS TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY


Wood is an ideal material for a baby's first sensory impressions,
as it has many different sense experiences.
It has grain, and is sometimes lighter or darker.
It is hard or soft, rough or smooth and smells nice.
It sounds different, is heavy or light and has a certain warmth.
Bacteria cannot breed on wood.
This is especially true for none varnished wood.
We just unpacked the first box of European wooden toys.
Stacking rainbows (just like the one in our play area - shown above),
stacking rings, bead rollers, baby rattles and beaded necklaces.
Still to come: carry along doll houses, baby dolls,
play animals, puppets, building blocks and more.

TA DA !


THE LOVELY AND ORIGINAL BEANSPROUTS BENCHES !

THE EMPTY SIDEWALK AFTER THE BENCHES WERE STOLEN :(


ta da . . . THE NEW BENCHES

So, I picked the hottest day of the year to lugg heavy bags of dirt, drill holes and cut wood.
There was a whole lot of love and SWEAT that went into this project, hopefully this time there will be no tears involved. Thanks to Kimberly for teaching me about heavy duty glue - I think we will find the benches still there tomorrow morning!

Pick up your popsicle next door, come by and have a seat!

A chair full of memories.

I don't mean to scare you, but this was the cozy chair in the play
area hiding underneath the slipcover. It is the chair that me and my
sister played on as kids and when I opened the store my dad gave it to
me. As sad looking as it was, it was PERFECT! But it is time to move
on as the legs keep falling off. So, this long story is to announce
the arrival of a brand new (firmer) nursing chair at Beansprouts!
(thanks mom)
