Mighty Junior: Products from December 2004

Alex Bathtub Finger Painting Kit

Bathtub toys are the best! I used to use bath paints like these to trick my niece into looking up, thereby tilting her head back, thereby allowing me to rinse the shampoo out of her hair painlessly. You can use them to lure bath-averse little ones into the tub.

Republic of Tea’s Ginseng Peppermint

I don’t usually like herbal teas, they tend to taste like a bunch of sticks floating in warm water. Glah. This ginseng peppermint tea, however, is tasty. It contains eleuthero (no idea), peppermint, cinnamon, licorice, and echinacea root. It’s minty, of course, and the licorice flavor isn’t discernable, but it leaves a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. If, like me, you’re bouncing off the walls from your five or six “nice cups of tea” a day, give this a try. It will mellow you right out.

Dingo Snack Tee

This shirt cracks me up, but the site description is even better: “It’s a fact of nature that each parent wants to one-up every other parent. Whether you publicly give voice to it or not, your belief is that your baby is best in every way – the cutest, the smartest, the best behaved… …the tastiest.”

Three-Layer Tulle Tutu

You took her to see the Nutcracker, and she’s been walking around on her toes ever since. Shouldn’t she get to dress the part? Get your camera ready, you’re in for some serious twirling.

Kickin’ Karate Tee for Kids

Keeeeyah! Your kid is a kung-fu force to be reckoned with. I think this would be especially cute on a little girl with curly pigtails. The karate silhouette is flocked, but you can still machine wash and dry. 100% cotton.
