Little Tikes™ Water Bouncers for Summer 2009

Horray!  School is out!  Now the question arises, “What do you do to keep those kids active this summer?”  Forget about the pool pass and field trips to a water park.  Why not create your very own water park in your play area?

Our Rocky Mountain River Race and Slam ‘n Curve Slide water bouncers are our new versions for Summer 2009!  These inflatable water slides set up in minutes; just lay out the inflatable, stake it down, plug in the heavy-duty blower and attach the hose.  Now you are ready for hours of fun!  Make sure you don’t forget the sun screen.

Kids will love to climb up the center wall to the top on the Rocky Mountain River Race where two slides await.  A spray mist keeps the slides slippery while a surprise dump bucket soaks the kids climbing up the center.  Sliders can race to the bottom where they splash down into a roomy pool.   This water slide was designed with care givers and parents in mind.  You can set your lawn chair right in front and watch all of the action, but be careful because the kids in your care are sure to try to get you wet! 

Our Slam ‘n Curve Slide allows the kids to slide and splash and play basketball too!  This water slide features a climbing wall that leads to the top of the slide.  The spray mist keeps the slide slippery to make a splash landing into the wading pool.  The shallow pool allows for creative water play or fun with the inflatable basketball hoop attached to the slide.  The slide action faces one direction for easy supervision. 

Whichever Little Tikes Water Bouncer you chose this summer is sure to be a hit.  Make sure you check out our specials page on www.littletikeschildcare.com.  This week you receive a Free Multi Purpose Wheeled Bag with purchase of a water slide.  Hurry though, this offer ends 6/22/09.

National Police Week 2009

National Police Week is being celebrated this week on May 10^th – May 16^th.  This is a great time to study community helpers and invite a Police Officer to your classroom to have a discussion about their job and what it entails.  Have the officer describe their uniform and discuss why they carry different tools.  This a good time to discuss the subject of “Stranger Danger” and what they should do if a stranger approaches them.  Then take a trip outdoors to have the police officer show their vehicle and discuss all the tools they have within their car.  Make sure each child realizes that the police are their friends and are around to help everyone.

                    

 Our Tikes Patrol Police Car™ is sure to be a big hit with the children in your care.  It would be fun to set up a small safety town with your cars and houses and teach your youngsters the rules of safety.  Little Tikes™ has many playhouses to choose from and a variety of packages of ride-on toys that your children will love. 

Our Ride-on Package option 4 brings you all of our favorite ride-ons in one special package.  The kids will have plenty of choices to pretend to be a police officer, fire fighter, or little princess and you will save $60 by purchasing this package. 

Make sure you check your mailboxes for our Summer edition of the Little Tikes Childcare Solutions catalog!  If you aren’t on our mailing list you can sign up here.  Thanks!

Get Up and Play Ball!

Opening day is warmly regarded in North American tradition as the beginning of a new Major League Baseball season.  For many, baseball’s opening day is the true sign of spring. 

Opening day is the chance to start anew or perhaps to forget last season’s record.   This begins the first of a full schedule of 162 games and is the only game in which every player on both teams is introduced. 

Adults and  children love to partake in all of the festivities revolving around Opening Day.  Many cities even have a parade downtown to celebrate past and present baseball heroes.  At ball parks all across the nation the smell of roasted peanuts fill the air as you hear the roar of the crowd cheering on their favorite team. 

Get up and play ball with these baseball favorites from Little Tikes™. 

Our TotSports™ T-Ball Set is great for beginning batters, this T-ball set includes an easy-to-use oversize bat, 2 oversize baseballs and an adjustable height “T” that adapts to a child’s developing skills.  Ages 1 1/2 years and up.

The Auto Pitch™ Batting Trainer gets children started on their way to a great batting average.  This terrific baseball trainer helps develop hitting skills, muscle tone and hand\eye coordination.  To start out, it becomes an easy-hit T-ball set for beginners.  As children’s skills improve, it transforms into an automatic pitch up machine.  One push on the foot switch releases five time-delayed balls in a row, and an audible signal indicates when the next ball is coming.    The Auto Pitch™ Batting Trainer includes a bat, five balls, and an automatic shut off.  Ages 3 years and up.

Promote social skills by setting up a full field and taking turns at bat and remember to Get Up and Play Ball!
