Get Your Kids Outdoors!

Now that the weather is warming up considerably, it’s time to start playing outside again. Outdoor activities not only encourage a positive relationship with nature and the general outdoors, but they also promote physical activity. Any outdoor game is an adventure, especially when you’re a kid, but sometimes it is a lot harder to give our kids that nudge out of the door. Even though the weather is gorgeous and the plants are beginning to bloom, they may be more preoccupied with television, tablets or other digital devices. While all of these mediums have their own pros and cons, it’s still important to balance how kids spend their time. What you can do is use mediums such as interactive games and personalized books to get kids to play outdoors.

Dreamland Personalized Photo Book

Using games is a great way to entice kids. Use your own imagination to combine playing outdoors with digital or indoor games. Simply bringing mobile devices outdoors or even just on your porch can help ease kids into the open. One great way to motivate kids is to use personalized books. Personalized books provide kids with a story all their own and can be used to help them overcome personal obstacles like learning to ride a bike or potty training. Personalized books from KD Novelties can be used in the same way to entice kids to play outdoors. There are plenty of adventures to choose from, such as My Camping Adventure or My Fishing Adventure personalized kids books. Use these books to get them excited about a camping or fishing trip of your own. Even more fantastical books, like the Dreamland Personalized Photo Book can inspire kids to go outside and use their own backyard as an imaginary forest. Encourage kids to use their imagination and have plenty of real life adventures of their own.

Dealing with difference can be difficult for kids. They may feel self-conscious or may even be made fun of at school by other children. Or perhaps they have even made fun of another child for being different themselves. While kids do benefit from direct advice and encouragement from their parents, learning lessons on their own, when pushed in the right direction can make an important impact on them. 
Terrance the Giraffe Personalized Kids Book
Our newest title, “Terrance the Giraffe” a personalized kids book featuring your child with Terrance, sets kids on a personalized journey with the title character who is the subject of teasing because he is different.

As kids embark on this personal journey with Terrance the giraffe, they learn a bit about themselves, about others, and how everyone should be treated: with respect and kindness. Kids can gain enormous insight through this personalized book, learning to accept and embrace their differences, acting confident when confronted with the issue, and treating others who are different with respect.

Create Memories on Mother’s Day

Create Memories on Mother’s Day by Reading with the kids
While Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate all of the moms in our lives, whether they’re our own mothers, sisters, friends or aunts, who are mothers to someone, it is also an important day to spend time with the children. Some kids may be too young to impart any gifts on their own, aside from spending some personal time with mom. Whether your kids are old enough to understand the holiday or not, set some special time aside to be with your children.
Spending family time together is very important. It helps build familial relationships and builds memories, but spending time with each of your children individually helps show just how much you care about them as a person and as an individual. This helps them grow character and grow a strong sense of self. Whether you decide to read and experience a book together, play a game, or simply have an in depth conversation, it is these personal one-on-one moments that kids will come to cherish as they grow older and remember on future Mother’s Days. Here are some things you can do to spend some special time with each of your kids.
1.     Read a personalized book together. Sharing a book together is sharing an experience. You venture out on a journey and remember that experience together. Sharing a personalized book with your child reminds them about how special they are and how much you mean to them.
2.     Play a game. Ask your child what games they want to play with you, and taking part in exactly what they want will create fond memories for the future. Not only that, but it keeps both of you active and entertained.
3.     Tell them a story. Sharing personal stories about when you were your child’s age helps them relate to you as a person as well as a mother. It helps them feel closer to you when you share personal stories and helps them understand you and themselves better.
4.     Ask them about their week and tell them about yours. Talk to them like they are another person, not just a child. This helps them formulate opinions and builds their confidence. They feel important when they are asked about what goes on in their lives and what their feelings are on certain topics, as well as hearing about their mom’s lives as well. 

These activities will stick with them as they grow older and will undoubtedly come to mind on future Mother’s Days. Invite your kids to get to know you and get to know them as individuals so they can grow up and become special individuals themselves. Think of the mothers you will be celebrating this year. Think of all of the things you respect about them and what they have done for you in order to become the person you are now, and remember those moments when creating new ones with your kids as well.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Moms out there from all of us at KD Novelties!
