Christmas Stocking Ideas For Kids

I can't believe it's going to be Christmas once again in just a few short months. My 5 year old can't stop asking me about it. "When is Christmas? How many days more are left?" "How many presents will Santa give me this year?

I have to say I can't help but get excited about it too. It's one of those holidays that even at my age I still look forward too. I'm not much of a party person, but Christmas is different. I make sure I plan everything. I think about a Christmas decoration theme months beforehand, I think about presents to give and make a list and I think of all the chocolate drinks and wine we'll be partaking on Christmas week.

Now that I have children and nieces and nephews, one of the things I also always plan in advance are stocking stuffers for kids. I like to find ones that are nice, useful and reasonably cheap. One of my earliest Christmas memories is opening these little presents and just being excited at how many presents I have. And I think in a way, as commercialized an idea it seems, the idea of having so many presents to open in a space of minutes is the whole essence of opening Christmas presents.

This is why I prefer to buy smaller cheap things for stocking stuffers. This isn't always as easy as it sounds because finding cheap presents that are also useful can be a big challenge. So months beforehand (or even right after Christmas!), I make a list of possible gift ideas for kids. I prefer them to be under $10. Here's one site I've found over 100 ideas of stocking stuffers for kids.

Pink Punk Pirate Toddler Costume

She's pink, she's punk and she's a pirate. That's exactly what the pink punk pirate toddler costume is.

The great thing about this costume is that it can fit even the really tiny ones in the household. A toddling toddler can easily fit into one of these pirate costumes. Your 2 year old will look good on this one. A small pirate trick or treating is just the cutest thing ever!

I like that this pink pirate costume comes with a sash and most importantly, the hat. The hat, I think is a very important accessory of a costume but many pirate costumes for sale do not include the hat. But this one does, so yay!

Girls Pink Pirate Outfit

Compared to the other girl pink pirate outfits I've featured on this site, this costume is pretty unique, don't you think? First of all, it comes with the black Bandana and how about the tutu style skirt huh?. This Tutu costume is a bit longer than some may want it, so you can easily cut it short if your child wants too. I personally prefer it this long. I love how simple and unique this pirate halloween costume for girls is. And have a look at  the black corset with skulls? Just how amazing is that?

Girls Pink Pirate Sword

Many pink pirate costumes for girls I've talked about here are really cute but they're never quite right without the all important pirate accessories like a girls pink pirate sword, an eye patch or maybe even a bandana.
Now if your child is wearing a pink pirate dress, wouldn't it just be right for her to have a pink pirate sword as well? And just how adorable is that? I know quite a lot of little girls from my son's class and almost all of them love pink. So the idea of having a pink sword would be accepted with wide open arms. Make your child's halloween costume special with a costume color that she loves.

Elite Ladies Red Pirate Costume For Women

Here comes the vixen of the sea and she's a pirate too! This ship captain will be off duty on Halloween night and will be out to have fun and party the night away (well, no different from a pirate's life really!). This elite ladies red pirate costume for women is one of the best pirate costumes in terms of quality and design. What an elegant look this outfit is. Just take a look at the bolero and the corset. This two combination make it a pretty sexy and at the same time classy costume don't you think?

Pink Pirate Costume For Girls

Just imagine the combination of pirate and pink. It's not very traditional but it sure does work. And many children all over the world would rightly agree with me. This is why one of the most common outfits for kids in Halloween are pink pirate costume for girls. What is cuter and more daring than that?
These pirate costumes are really quite cute. There are many versions of them. Some designs are in the traditional pirate costume while there are also designs that look like a pirate princess, like one of the pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, a drama queen child pirate and well, why not the popular Jake and the Neverland Girl Pirate, Izzy costume?

Girls Caribbean Pirate Costume

This is a unique pirate costume made of good quality polyester and cotton. As you can see it looks very similar to the Elizabeth Swann costume for girls that you can see in many halloween costume sites. This Caribbean pirate costume for kids however is made of better material and looks just as nice specially with the long jacket that comes with it. Yo ho ho mateys! It's going to be a piratey day indeed with this outfit. Many girls would just love to be wearing one of this when they go trick or treating and as they entertain people with their pirate talk.

Girls Caribbean Pirate Costume Includes Hat Jacket Vest w/attached Shirt Belt Pants Boot Covers Is a pirate's life for you? Do you enjoy pillaging, singing sea shanties, and sailing on the high seas? If so, then this is probably the perfect costume for you, but the ship and crew are not included. Oh, and neither is a tall man with a beard and eyeliner, but I'm sure he won't be too hard to find.

This strong girl character in the movie is something that I like and I'm sure one that many parents like too.

Elizabeth Swann Pirate Costume

Elizabeth Swann is one of the most memorable characters in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Why not dress up as the beautiful governor's daughter this year for Halloween? At this time, it's not often that easy to find a costume exactly like the one Keira Knightly wore, but it is still possible to find one that resembles more of her "boyish" looking costume like the one she wore in the Dead Man's Chest.  This Elizabeth Swann costume is great for a cold night when you want to be covered up and of course when you want to look light the hardy woman pirate that you are who can obviously fight the evils of this world.

Princess Sofia Invades Our Living Room

If you have a little girl, you probably know exactly what I mean. Princess Sofia and the whole gang has invaded my living room. We're all about princesses right now. Congrats, Disney.

Sofia the First first joined us a month before Christmas last year when Disney released the movie. The movie touched the little girl's heart so much that she wanted to become a princess too and started asking me if I could marry a King so she could become a princess.

And then Disney released the tv show and it all went haywire from there. The little girl could not get enough of princesses. And I, as a mother, despite my annoyance at stereotypical girls love princesses childhood theme started giving in to her cute requests. It started with a cute Sofia the First doll and then came the party.

Yes, the party. My four year old wanted a Sofia the First party. And I, dutiful mom (?) gave in to the request -- it was a party of purple Princess Sofia dresses, purple cake, tiaras and of course Sofia the First toys.

She was so happy and all the little friends we invited over liked the party too. Every little girl her age seems to know about the little Princesss and it was a good time for them to make pretend that they were princesses in a far away castle.

And here comes Halloween and she's already talking about going around the neighborhood in her Princess sofia dress up costume. The good thing? We already have it from the party and that only means I don't have to buy another one specially for Halloween -- it makes everything so much easier.

Kids Toys That Grow In Water

Expanding Toys And Other Animals That Grow In Water

I first heard of toys that grow in water when I was planning a Dinosaur party for my 5-year old son. It sounded like a really interesting party bag filler.

So I bought these toys that expand in water and had enough for all the kids who were coming to the birthday.

Before the party we of course tried it at home first. We did it at night just before bed so that the dinosaur would be bigger the following day. And grow he did. My son was really fascinated by it.

Buy Toy Animals That Grow In Water
Here are the best ones in the market...

There are many different kinds of animals that grow in water...

There's a wide array of choices from dinosaurs to fishes! The truth to the matter is though that the quality of these toys are not the same. That's why I've done a little bit of research to find toys that are highly rated. Hatchin Grow Turtle, Grow Animals for party favors, Magic animal growing capsules, Grow magic capsules safari animals, jumbo growing dinosaur, volcano dinosaur science kit.

Instructions On Growing Animals In Water How To grow your animal toy in water

There should be a set of instructions on the toy when you purchase it.

Most of these toys work the same way. This is how we grew our dinosaur!

1) Take the egg out of the package.
2) Get enough water for the egg. We put ours in a basin.
3) Wait and wait and wait.
Seriously it doesn't grow right away. So if you have an impatient child, this can be a bit of a problem.
4) After 24 hours, the dinosaur was noticeably bigger. We left it there for 2 more days and it grew to about 15 cm. I have heard of other people who have grown this to a much bigger size though. But I'm afraid our family is not big on being patient!

Remember that other toys that grow in water will need more time to get to its largest possible size. I heard of one family that grew a giant lizard for 5 days!

Octonauts Peso Toy

An Octonauts Peso toy for all the kids who love this lovely medic with a big heart.

Peso from the Octonauts may not be the first one to go to a scary place, but he has a heart of gold and I kids all love him for it.

 Octonauts Peso Facts

Ok. Peso is the appointed medic of the Octonauts. If you've noticed, he has a different hat compared to the other Octonauts -- a hat that shows he's a medic. You'll see him with his medic bag all the time.

Peso Penguin is not exactly the bravest of all the Octonauts. But when he sees a creature that is hurt or needs some help, he will not hesitate to put himself in danger just to save the life of the creature.

That's why many kids love Peso Penguin -- he truly has the heart of gold that every medic needs to have.

• Peso's catchphrase: "Flappity Flippers!"
• Peso's brother's name: Pinto (too curious that little Penguin!)
