Family Fun: Goose Grease Fair Trade DIY Family Kit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(emily)

Recently, I spent the weekend at my grandparents’ home with my sister and her family, and I brought along one of the new Goose Grease DIY Family Kits that we just got at Franklin Goose.  My family and I had such fun painting our own peg dolls together!

The kit came with 6 dolls of varying heights, so the 5 of us each had a doll to paint. It was really fun seeing not just the artistic talents of each of us, but our own personal tastes coming across as we worked together. 

 

What's inlcuded in the DIY Family Kit:

• 6 peg dolls
• 6 pots of paint
• 2 paint brushes
• 1 pencil
• 1 pot of overcoat/varnish
• 1 tortillon shading tool
• 1 toothpick
• sandpaper
• tip sheet

 Of course, we each had to name our peg dolls. From left to right: Binky the baby, Willow, Charlie Brown, Bea, Sylvester, and Lilly. 

 Goose Grease Peg Doll Sets and DIY Kits are available at FranklinGoose.com.

Puzzles are fun and educational. We love the Petitcollage Floor Puzzles like Our World (pictured) and the Alphabet Kingdom.

The petitcollage Alphabet Art Cards are a beautiful way to encourage kids to learn their ABCs. The On-The-Go cards (pictured) feature gorgeous pictures of submarines, motorcycles, and hot air balloons, while the Animals A-Z cards have animals like alligators, yaks, and zebras.

If you have a child who loves imaginary play, a play kitchen is just what she needs. We love the Educo Gourmet Fridge, which comes with a pretend ice-maker and 6 ice cubes. 

And every kitchen needs utensils and dishes, like the Plan Toys Cooking Utensils, and the Educo Healthy Garden Salad (pictured).  The Educo Rise n Shine Coffee Maker (pictured) is also a super adorable addition to your child’s play kitchen.

Every kid (and dad) who visits our store loves to play with the Plan Toys Musical Band (pictured). Add the Plan Toys Banjo (pictured), and your children are ready to jam.

If your child is more interested in adventures off this world, try the Educo Discovery Spaceship & Lift Off Rocket (pictured). It comes with 2 astronauts and 1 alien who are ready for any mission.

Encourage your child’s artistic talents with a fabulous arts and crafts gift. We love the P’Kolino Art Easel (pictured) because it can be a traditional easel as well as a whiteboard, blackboard, and puppet theater.

The new Eco-Kids Art Pad (pictured) is ready for your child’s creativity. Eco-Kids has a great range of art supplies like the eco-crayons, eco-finger paint, and eco-dough. The eco-coloring book (pictured) is printed on recycled FSC certified paper with soy inks.

Keep your little ones warm and cozy this winter with pajamas like the Skylar Luna Green & Silver Star Long-Sleeve set (pictured).  We have other lovely holiday-themed pajamas like the Candy Cane Long-Sleeve set and the Snowmen Long-Sleeve set.
