When receiving a new product I run it by my quality control team for initial input. (i.e. show to my husband) Every once in a while, like with the Mookimoo, I actually get more than “that looks neat” and he gets excited about a product. Well, maybe not excited exactly but definitely interested which is something in itself. When he responded to KidCards with “Wow, what a great idea!” I knew immediately it was a winner. And I was right. Simple, mom-invented, useful and fun, KidCards give you all the tools you need to assist kids in creating their own cards for get-well, birthday, thank you and more. With a line of teacher cards showing appreciation has never been easier or more personal, and as teacher myself think it’s a perfect way to say, “Thanks!” (And in case you’re curious my #1 favorite “teacher gift” to go along with the KidCards is a Dunkin Donuts gift card.) I love the idea of kid- created as soon as they are able to draw as opposed to parent-written cards which are much less personal. No wonder they just received an iParenting Media Award! Just don’t be too jealous of Melissa, the creator of KidCards, even though I know what you’re thinking…yes, I wish I thought of it too!
