Movies: The 2009 year had a great box-office, with many hits that kids would love to own. “Transformers 2,” “Twilight,” “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” are just a few titles to get you thinking. “Up,” “Hannah Montana: The Movie,” and “The Race to Witch Mountain” also had rave reviews. Movies are a great family gift, since all children in a family will enjoy it. It can be very economical to give a movie to a family rather than individual gifts!

Books: In this technologically-driven age, books are a rare gift. Kids still love to read, but chances are, they don’t own very many books. While libraries are great for supplying books to kids, giving them a book encourages them to read and pursue an academic life. Not sure where to start with books? The Newberry Award winners are typically great reads, as are ALA notable books. The New York Times also puts out a list of top-selling Young Adult and Junior Fiction books. Your library should have these lists on hand to guide you.

Transformers: The Transformer toys are back and more creative than ever. Some Transformers can change into many different things. The most popular ones right now are Optimus Prime and BumbleBee. Both Transformer movies have been hits, so the kids don’t have them yet, chances are they might want to own them.

American Girl Dolls: The American Girl series is still very popular among young girls. The repertoire of American Girl items has increased to include movies, like “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl,” which came out last year before Christmas. Girls can get American Girl dolls that are created to look just like them, or choose from the selection of American Girl Dolls from the series. Girls love to get Christmas dresses for their doll, and American Girl even offers matching Christmas dresses for the girls to wear themselves. You can sign up for the American Girl catalog online, which girls love to look through and can help you get an idea for what your little American girl might want!

Dress up clothes: Dress up clothes are great for both boys and girls! Boys aren’t interested in the princess costumes like girls are, but they enjoy dressing up like firefighters, lions, and ninjas. Dress up clothes encourage imagination and creative play, and are one of those toys that don’t get “old.” Many home-school organizations use dress ups to teach about other cultures and for free play time. Girls love to wear princess costumes, and dance around. If you decide to get dress up clothes as a Christmas gift, don’t forget the accessories! Girls need feather boas for their princess costumes and boys need toy guns for their cowboy costumes!

Bicycles: These two-wheeled classics are still around and begging for attention. These are one of those semi-responsible gifts, since many children use a bicycle as a means of transportation to school and around town. Besides, what child isn’t excited to find a bike under the tree on Christmas morning?!

Wii: The Wii and accompanying Wii games are still top hits this Christmas. With Karaoke, the Wii Fit, Hannah Montana, and sword fighting, Wii has something for everyone. Rockband is also very popular with the teenage crowd, since it allows them to follow their love for music in a game they can play with their friends.

The Kissing Hand, by Audrey Penn, has been a cherished book since it was first published in 1993.

Halloween Costume Ideas ? Ideas for Kids, Toddler, Adult Halloween Costumes

Halloween 2010 is almost here and it is the perfect time for folks of all ages to indulge in pop culture fantasy. Now it’s time to make any last minute Halloween costume choices and decide what pumpkin carving patterns you want to use. Since Halloween is on Sunday this year, it will be great for kids and adults alike! We will all have the entire weekend to decorate our homes, host or go to Halloween parties, and to thrill and chill Trick or Treater’s on Sunday night.

 

What a great Halloween we will all have this year. Be sure to stop by Papatek prepared for your Halloween and help you enjoy Halloween as much as we do! Providing costumes ideas for the physically challenged, making your own Halloween costume, Halloween decorations for kids, toddlers, adults, couples or groups. Happy Halloween and other Halloween information we provide on Papatek.com!

 

You don’t have to be a kid to dress up in a spectacular costume. Halloween is a holiday that brings out the child in everyone. According to the National Retail Federation, 4 out of 10 Americans (40.1%) will be dressing up this Halloween season.  This is great news for retailers, with Americans spending around each for their costumes. What are the options for costume ideas this Halloween?  The choices are endless.

 

Here are some timely celebrity costume ideas that can be both humorous and scary, and promise to be a lot of fun for your Halloween celebration, like Twilight Character, Lady Gaga, etc. The popularity of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight novels and the release of movies such as New Moon and Eclipse will undoubtedly produce a surge of vampires and werewolves this Halloween season. Lady Gaga as the musical entertainer dresses up like Halloween on a daily basis, so it should not be difficult to emulate her style for just one night during the year. There are loads of options for dressing up like Lady Gaga.

 

In addition, you can make your own costume for cheap by using items you already have around the house. With a small amount of creativity, just an iota of craftsmanship, and a few easily obtainable items, it’s simple to put together a costume that will steal the show. For instance, you find a rectangular box large enough to wear over your body and paint it black and decorate the front with buttons, coin slot, etc.

 

If you plan on building a graveyard for Halloween, dig a shallow grave directly in front of one of the tombstones and lay a skeleton down in it. Add some dirt over and around the skeleton so that he is about fifty to seventy percent exposed. Now, scatter some dried leaves around the grave. In fact, a homemade Halloween costume not only helps you pinch pennies, but it ensures that your look will be totally unique and truly memorable!

 

Even if your toddler’s too young to go trick-or-treating, you can still have fun celebrating Halloween together. Other couples may have children under 14 months old. And you can have everyone over for a Halloween party. Solid color turtlenecks and sweat pants are an easy and comfortable costume starter for kids. Add hats, wigs, capes, wings, face paint etc. When you select a Halloween costume for your child, you had better choose a costume that won’t fall apart before the night’s festivities are over. If the costume is elaborate, dress your child in simple clothing underneath.

If you’re set on buying a costume, you can still pinch pennies. Look for discounts and shop around and buy early. Most costumes are available at more than one store. That will give you the best chance at a good price, and will leave you time to make an exchange in case there is a problem.

Well, all the ideas that’s fit to fright! Best of all, Papatek with different laptop accessory products available at the click of your mouse, which help you decide which fun character you want to dress up as on this Halloween.

Should Kids Be Allowed to Play With Twilight Barbies?

Should Kids Be Allowed to Play With Twilight Barbies?

Barbie toys and dolls are popular toys for kids and many claim that they will never go out of style. Perhaps, one reason for their continued popularity is Mattel’s strategy of adapting the Barbie toys to contemporary settings. For example, the toy company has decided to release Barbie dolls representing the main characters of the book and movie “Twilight,” Bella and Edward.

These Twilight Barbies faithfully depict the innocent face and long brunette hair of Bella and the strong jaw line of Edward. It is also claimed that the glow on Edward’s face that is indicative of his status as a vampire is also evident on the male doll.

Both dolls are scheduled to be released on November 1, 2009 and will be priced at .95. However, some have questioned whether children should be allowed to play with these Twilight Barbies. First of all, Twilight fans are teenagers and young adults. For some, dolls are no longer fit for these ages. Nevertheless, some teens and young adults continue to play with dolls although the emotional and psychological effects are different.

Secondly, the theme of Twilight is not appropriate for young kids because they are better suited to teens and young adults. Thus, children may not be able to identify with the Twilight Barbies unlike the other Barbie dolls that are based on fairy tales. The kids are likely to find that it is difficult for them to incorporate the characters of Edward and Bella into the imaginary world that they enter when playing with dolls.

Thus, it is advisable for parents to buy the Twilight Barbies for their teenage or even young adult children but not for their young kids. It may even be better to purchase these unique Barbie dolls for the purpose of keeping them as collectibles and as investments.

Thor is an avid fan of the Twilight series. He has created a website based upon Twilight Barbie Dolls as he thinks that it makes a great Twilight Collectors Doll.
