HOT Toys and Gifts for the Holidays: Gift Ideas for Girls of All Ages {Disney Precious Collections Jewelry Giveaway RV $225}

One of the hottest toys of the year has to be Printies Design Studio kits. These made it into the Time to Play Most Wanted List, have won numerous awards and I can totally see why! Basically, Prinites are at-home activity kits that allow children to make their own custom stuffed animals. Kids design their stuffed animals online at www.MyPrinties.com and then they PRINT their designs onto special patent-pending Prinites fabric sheets. Yes. You print them yourself onto fabric. Then, tear along the perforated shape and pop out the Printies design, stuff it, and meet your cute new stuffed animal! Pretty cool, huh? I had my concerns at first--like would it eat up all of my ink and how easy was it really? Once I got these at home--I fell in LOVE with them though! You can print these with any inkjet printer and best of all--it does not use any more ink than printing on regular paper. Printies make an excellent gift for the holidays, but they also shine in other areas as well. How about having a Printies birthday party or holiday party? Have your child invite a few friends and let them design and make their own stuffed animals? Another idea is printing them out in black and white--and letting your kids color them in with fabric markers. This way even the younger kids can get in on the fun! For under $20, kids can make six one-of-a-kind stuffed toys!
