One of the best parts of our job is getting to see kids excitedly picking out wrapping papers for their friends and the way their eyes light up when they see the finished package. Gift wrapping is always &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;complimentary&lt;/span&gt; at EiO! Photos in this post are of some of our recent favourites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG0u_ly0sI/AAAAAAAAAM4/xVFf9eAvfOE/s1600/presents-01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG0u_ly0sI/AAAAAAAAAM4/xVFf9eAvfOE/s400/presents-01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485864540550910658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this season's &lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.urbanbaby.ca/"&gt;urbanbaby &amp;amp; toddler magazine&lt;/a&gt; we found a great article about planning and hosting a fun and easy birthday party for your child. A few of the best tips:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pick a theme&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, pick a theme (ex. pirate, princess, animals, flowers - whatever your child fancies) and plan things around that. Purchase or make invitations to fit the theme, and get decorations, plates and napkins, and goody bags (if you're doing them) to tie things together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG3FeIz7kI/AAAAAAAAANA/rGzzm0Ql798/s1600/presents-02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG3FeIz7kI/AAAAAAAAANA/rGzzm0Ql798/s400/presents-02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485867125731225154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Limit guests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many little guests should you have? The younger your child is, the fewer guests you should have. Try keeping it to close family and friends for toddlers. Three guests, maximum, is plenty for a child under five years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG3XyLOBZI/AAAAAAAAANI/LnbBT_WPwg0/s1600/presents-03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG3XyLOBZI/AAAAAAAAANI/LnbBT_WPwg0/s400/presents-03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485867440347678098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Invitations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether you buy them or make them, hand-deliver them or e-mail them, there are key pieces of info you need to include aside from the obvious date, time and place: RSVP date and contact; if the parents should stay; what meals (if any) will be served; and duration of the party. Ask parents to notify you of any allergies you should be aware of as well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG4celCYMI/AAAAAAAAANQ/M-tDFIjui8M/s1600/presents-04.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG4celCYMI/AAAAAAAAANQ/M-tDFIjui8M/s400/presents-04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485868620498231490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Play Games&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doing two short games is enough for those under five years. Remember, a toddler's attention span is limited! Simple games like &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pin the Tail on the Donkey&lt;/span&gt; work well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;urbanbaby &amp;amp; toddler magazine&lt;/span&gt; Summer 2010 issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG4lElHM-I/AAAAAAAAANY/vemz5vNMKKQ/s1600/presents-05.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG4lElHM-I/AAAAAAAAANY/vemz5vNMKKQ/s400/presents-05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485868768138048482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bonne fête!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4164685277019624841-2375092827506740614?l=eiokids.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eiokids.blogspot.com/feeds/2375092827506740614/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eiokids.blogspot.com/2010/06/party-tips-for-tots.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4164685277019624841/posts/default/2375092827506740614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4164685277019624841/posts/default/2375092827506740614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eiokids.blogspot.com/2010/06/party-tips-for-tots.html' title='Party Tips for Tot Birthdays'/><author><name>Amanda</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/S-pPkQYnkEI/AAAAAAAAALQ/u-sd4bcibtQ/S220/Photo+159.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2D63Mr4meq8/TCG0u_ly0sI/AAAAAAAAAM4/xVFf9eAvfOE/s72-c/presents-01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164685277019624841.post-893213472949815097</id><published>2010-06-15T10:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-17T20:44:30.740-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Seraphina Affleck loves her Wubbanub!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLMpRFlhZw/TBfDdZZSNeI/AAAAAAAAACs/72_ad15pXWk/s1600/jennifer-garner-061010-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLMpRFlhZw/TBfDdZZSNeI/AAAAAAAAACs/72_ad15pXWk/s400/jennifer-garner-061010-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483065981147428322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Birth of WubbaNub... &lt;/strong&gt; They say "necessity is the mother of invention " and for Carla Schneider, it was an absolute necessity that she soothe her infant baby on their first vacation as a family.  What was supposed to be a relatively relaxing, blissful time was replaced with non-stop fussing and crying.  After an entire night of the ever-persistent "missing pacifier syndrome", Carla knew she needed to take matters into her own hands.  She found the hotel sewing kit and took her baby's favorite soft plush toy and sewed the pacifier right onto it. Thus, a happy ending for the Schneider family's vacation and the birth of the first WubbaNub!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wubbanub.com/wubbanub-pacifiers.html"&gt;http://www.wubbanub.com/wubbanub-pacifiers.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/Users/Carlee/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-16.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4164685277019624841-893213472949815097?l=eiokids.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eiokids.blogspot.com/feeds/893213472949815097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eiokids.blogspot.com/2010/06/seraphina-affleck-loves-her-wubbanub.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4164685277019624841/posts/default/893213472949815097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4164685277019624841/posts/default/893213472949815097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eiokids.blogspot.com/2010/06/seraphina-affleck-loves-her-wubbanub.html' title='Seraphina Affleck loves her Wubbanub!'/><author><name>Carlee Moore</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04723191533855552560</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLMpRFlhZw/TBfDdZZSNeI/AAAAAAAAACs/72_ad15pXWk/s72-c/jennifer-garner-061010-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164685277019624841.post-8151523184807278142</id><published>2010-05-20T12:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-20T16:26:24.212-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cute'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='radios'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flashlights'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ecotronics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='toys'/><title type='text'>Ecotronics</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;"Planet Friendly Techno Fun"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;Ever since we unpacked out very first box of &lt;/span&gt;Ecotronic Torches&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;, they have been flying off the shelves!
