No Competition Games


We are introducing some new games to our shelves this week.
We are proud to have Family Pastimes board games here!

Family Pastimes, Co-operative games
"play with each other not against each other"

Play as friends, not as enemies! Our games foster the spirit of co-operation. Players help each other climb a mountain, make a community, bring in the harvest, complete a space exploration... They are never against each other.

After all, the initial impulse to play a game is social; that is, we bring out a game because we want to do something together. How ironic then that in most games, we spend all our efforts trying to bankrupt someone, destroy their armies — in other words, to get rid of one another! We soon learn how to pick on the other person's weaknesses in order to win the game.

The challenge. In sum, games are used in various settings and for various reasons, Socialization, entertainment, academic learning, character growth, etc. Whatever your objective, we invite you to realize them by co-operative means. Parents and teachers trying to teach children to share, be kind to living things, and help others out often are troubled by games and recreation programs which undermine these values. Our games provide the opportunity to experience sharing and caring behavior. We simply don't have enough of such experiences.

We have about 10 different games in store and more to come!
These games are a family favorite of ours, and the price is right too! All games $15!

Did we mention these are Canadian Made...happy playing!

Baby Wearing



Storchenwiege

German Storchenwiege Baby Slings are made to last. They can be handed down through many generations. Because of the special weave they embrace your baby perfectly, yet do not wear or stretch out. A Storchenwiege distributes the weight of your baby evenly on your shoulder for many hours of baby wearing enjoyment.

This is the only baby sling on the market with this special intricate rare weave. You will find the German Storchenwiege Baby Sling to have more of a silky soft feel than other cotton carriers. The sling was developed especially to support baby's back properly, to be comfortable for long periods of time, and to be durable (even with a 4 year old, Storchenwiege is comfortable and strong). The make eliminates the need to purchase other baby carriers, other woven wraparound sling or even a stroller.

A favorite among beginners and carrier "fanatics" We have brought in 3 colors and 3 lengths to accommodate all sizes and carrying positions. We include an instructional dvd with all wrap purchases.

Meet Tess, She's 12" tall, wool stuffed and fairly traded



And the Waldorf Doll called Lina



Ellen is also 12" tall


And Fred



We also have more Peppa bonding dolls a few different styles $10-28, some super cute new ones!

And DIAPERS....


AMP One-Size DUO




The new AMP one size Duo pocket diaper (patent pending) is a revolutionary new diaper that combines both the benefits of the AI2 diaper and the pocket diaper all in a one size. The intelligent snap placement allows this diaper to have three different rise options and multiple tummy and thigh settings for a custom fit from birth to potty training (7-35lbs). The outer waterproof layer is a soft durable laminated PUL and the inside is a dreamy soft layer of custom milled stay dry fleece that is designed to wick wetness away and keep baby dry and comfortable. The envelope opening is large enough for easy stuffing and is placed at the front of the diaper to make removing the insert easy and mess free.

To use snap the rise adjusting snaps to the appropriate setting and place insert inside the diaper. Place the diaper under baby and fasten the tummy and thigh snaps at a snug but comfortable position.

To use this diaper as an All in two diaper, place the insert on top of the fleece making sure that the absorbent insert is between the elastic gathers instead of placing the insert inside of the envelope opening. If the diaper is still dry replace the absorbent insert with a dry one and re-use the diaper.

These are very cute, functional and Canadian Made!


Fun new stuff arriving daily :)
