Crayon Rocks
I just love these rock shaped crayons. They’re made of soy instead of wax (petroleum-based) and come in beautiful vivid colors. The shape of the rocks make it easier for young children to draw with, and it encourages the use of the tripod grip which helps develop fine motor skills. Just make sure your little one does’nt try to eat one. They do look like big jelly beans. A box of 16 crayons cost $7.49, and 64 crayons are $24.99. As of this post date, the Crayon Rocks website is giving an additional 20% off. Crayon Rocks Rock! CRAYON ROCKS

Hermes – Father & Son’s Ties
The coolest thing this spring, Hermes pure silk, hand folded neck ties, in matching print and material for both Father and Son. Hermes has a new Spring-Summer 2009 collection of heavy silk with “Lucky” emblems on them as well a really sweet looking rep tie, to keep your boy looking traditional chic, not traditional geek. Hermes ties are made of Silk, Heavy Silk, Silk Twill Rep Tie, Silk Linen Rep Tie and folded from one solid piece, then stitched. This is the true mark of a well made necktie. They are cool enough that your little one might not want to take it off, he just might need two. HERMES

Garvalin Sandals for 2009
Here’s another one of my favorites. Just in time for spring and summer, comes the new collection of Garvalin Sandals for 2009. Beautifully made of quality materials, these Spanish made shoes are both comfortable and super cute! The footbed is cushioned for comfort and the outsole is made of durable rubber, so they should last till your kid outgrows them. Available at ZAPPOS.
