I Saw It First

I Saw It First is a favorite board game in our home! Six triangular pieces turn into a stunning game board featuring 300 jungle animals. Pull an animal counter from the bag and be the first to spot that animal! My boys love this game and will often keep it set up for days at a time and stop in to play it when they have a chance! *Just an FYI, this is not Amazon Prime, so you might want to skip it if you are super last minute!*

Moon in My Room

Moon in My Room was such a hit with my boys that they both have one! This is a authentically detailed 3D moon that illuminates the 12 main moon cycles. This is a must have for any moon-loving kid!

Rainbow in My Room

Rainbow in My Room is another beautiful gift that is sure to stir up a few oohhhhs and ahhhhs. This awesome gift projects rainbows across the walls and ceiling in your nature-loving kid’s bedroom!
