A Little Love and Creativity this Valentines Day!



Iceing on Top - Fine Childrens Jewelry

Creativity in children is important; it encourages free expression, problem-solving skills and open thinking. Creativity needs to be nurtured  but not controlled 
for children to thrive. Here are some tips to nurture creativity in your children. No matter what avenue you choose, remember to let your child take charge and be in control of his or her creativity.

* Encourage imaginary play; it fosters physical, mental, and social development.

* Opt for toys such as blocks, empty boxes and empty containers, which wont limit the way children are allowed to play.

* Provide children with the materials, but inspire open-ended art projects.

* Foster creative movement with or without music and encourage them to make their own music.

* Reading sends imaginations into overdrive and encourages children to think openly.

Concerns over Cadmium in Adult Jewelry too - PLEASE be aware!

Concern about the heavy metal cadmium in jewelry grew Tuesday as a California environmental group said new testing of adult necklaces and bracelets bought at three leading retailers, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Aeropostale, detected high levels of the toxic material — as much as 75 percent by weight.

Please read about the entire situation here.

The article goes on to discuss the hazards associated with buying FAKE jewelry for your children.

New Year, New Beginnings

The New Year is a perfect time to make changes in our attitudes to better our lives and the lives of our children. Each new day presents exciting challenges and the opportunity to start fresh.

Joseph Priestly said it best: “I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere…”

Every day we need to remind our children how special they are and encourage them to make a difference while following their dreams. It’s important that we give’ our children the confidence and courage to achieve great things and accomplish anything they set their minds to.

One idea is to start a journal noting positive actions and good deeds. Keep it simple, like “I held the door for a friend today” or “I helped set the dinner table.”

These actions can build and inspire kids to do more with each day. Children, just like grownups, feel better about themselves when they can see the goodness they have accomplished.

Please share with us and tell us at iceing on top what ides you have!

Charities We LOVE!!!

THis season there are so many worthy charities to contribute to. In addition to the sweet Cookies for Kids Cancer, we would love to share some other ideas we have for teaching our children to be charitable this season!

Jacobs Cure
Jacob’s Cure is a non-profit foundation, created by a mothers passion to save the life of her son, Jacob, who is afflicted with Canavan disease, a devastating genetic brain disorder. Because of an enzyme deficiency, Canavan demyelinates the brain. Jacob is essentially trapped in his body. Without intervention, Jacob will lose his sight, his ability to swallow, may be stricken with seizures, become too weak to fight off illness and die within the first decade of his life.

This year, while we embrace the gift of giving, shouldn’t we also teach our children the value of giving in the midst of so much getting?  Finding one or two gifts that have sentimental and lifelong value can have a lasting effect;  so can teaching them through example to be charitable.

With so many charities in need, perhaps spend time baking with your family and friends to hold a bake sale and donate the funds to charity Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is a one most worthwhile charity that donates all proceeds of bake sales to pediatric cancer research.  To satisfy a sweet tooth, the cookies also can be purchased and sent directly to your loved ones! 

To read more about Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, or other charitable ideas, check out our blog  and let us know your favorite charities!
