Buying presents!!Whether it’s for our own kids, our nieces and nephews or for friends’ kids' birthdays, it can be so hard to come up with birthday or Christmas ideas that will actually get used and not just lead to more junk!! Jayde recently got my nephew for his birthday a KiwiCo Panda Crate subscription which is such a great idea as all our girls love them! For those that don’t know, it will arrive at their house every second month with two months worth of product in it, all of which are backed by research and designed especially for curious and creative little ones!!  Poppy has been loving the animal match-up game where you match up which baby animal goes with the big animal. It's great for sorting skills, but she also gets to learn the names of baby animals which is super cute. And Yumi loves a game where she can get physical, so she’s been going crazy with Peek-A-Boo Base, where you press down one animal puzzle and another piece pops up else-were.Now watch every child close to us be gifted the exact same thing! If you like the sound of this and want to build a foundation for early learning with Panda Crate from KiwiCo, head to kiwico.com and use the code BTB50 to get 50% off your first month of any crate lineThat's right BTB50 for 50% off at kiwico.com
