Made by two young Dallas sisters, Snap Caps are bottle cap designed in hundreds different colors, patterns and sayings that snap onto a necklace with a magnet. They are interchangeable and girls can swap them with friends or just based on their mood. I purchased one a few weeks ago for my daughter and special-ordered a Snap Cap with my daughter's school logo. They go for a little under $15.00 and if you go to the website you can find out where to purchase in your city. (<a href="http://www.m3girldesigns.com/">http://www.m3girldesigns.com/</a>). If you don't live near a city, just contact the designers via the website and you are on your way!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176364296388897792.post-61737971289950693042009-09-28T08:17:00.002-05:002009-09-28T08:24:15.855-05:00Personalize It<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_L_DIAQWvY2Y/SsC4-A4P73I/AAAAAAAAAn0/-2xysWWz8TA/s1600-h/media.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386508529862438770" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 132px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_L_DIAQWvY2Y/SsC4-A4P73I/AAAAAAAAAn0/-2xysWWz8TA/s200/media.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I am one of those people who are naturally drawn to anything I can personalize, so imagine when I came across <a href="http://www.fontianemaury.com/">http://www.fontianemaury.com/</a>.

Children pull the magnetic beads along the maze with a magnetic stick to the coordinating animals belly- yellow beads go into the yellow animal. Not only does it teach them about sorting and colors but also hand eye coordination as they have to focus to move the beads along.
