Fun Chop


If you take your child out to eat Asian food, you have probably experienced their love of Chop Sticks and their total inability to use them. Fun Chop was a product created for children 3 and older and adults a like who are chop-inept. You can get them at http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/ for a dollar each or the manufacturer http://www.funchop.com/ sells them in bulk, just in case you need 500 (they also list retailers). Or, if you go to a restaurant that has them, ask for a few extra and keep them in your purse. They are a great way to keep your child entertained and teach them how to begin using Chops Sticks.

Made by a European toy company, these pillows have a zipper in the back to store clothes and make a cute bed decoration by day. They run about $40.00. Moolka does a fabulous job at shipping items.
