Chalk - Concepts for Kids

Sweeping The Nation

Both of my kids have had a hand in choosing some of our stock for the new year.

My 8 yr old decided that the must-have item of the summer was definitely 'QUIRKY BANDS'.  These packs of brightly coloured, shaped bands have become the fashion accessory of the year with boys and girls alike.  Even Sarah Jessica Parker and Syeryl Crow have been spotted in them!

 
When I asked my 6 yr old what he would love CHALK to stock he was adamant that we had to have Mighty Beanz!  These collectible Beanz  are weighted so that they race down any tilted surface and each bean has a collectable design with 100's to collect and trade. 

I have now gone way up in my kid's estimation thanks to these two products - pocket money is being counted as we speak so they can come and replenish their collections.

Look what I just ordered!  I'm very excited - these wonderfully bright and happy products should be in store next week.

There is no way you can't crack a smile when faced with these bursts of colour.

    

  

Jemima Doll

Gertie and Me do the most divine soft toys but they also do this fabulous 'Jemima' doll which makes such a perfect first doll.  You can buy her on her own, or really kit her out and get the basket and second outfit as a set.  I love this as a Christmas or first birthday present.  We have been stocking 'Jemima' since the early days of CHALK and we never tire of her.
 

So Much To Choose From

 

Inside Out

Look who is featured in the latest Inside Out Magazine - the Christmas edition. 

It's Miss Ruby May.

Doesn't she look gorgeous.  Helen dropped off 12 more Miss Ruby May dolls today so CHALK has lots of new friends visiting.

Party Time

I was going to take some photos of my kids wearing some of our fantastic new summer clothes, but this may be Melbourne in a severe drought but it is actually raining buckets.  Best laid plans and all that!

I can show you this fantastic product I picked up at the Trade Fair.  It is an authentic Pin The Tail on the Donkey with an actual bandanna and 32 removable sticker tails.  I just love the box!  We also have a pirate version and of course a princess version. ($29)

I'll be back with the summer range when the rain stops.

Ed's Pick Of The Week

While I was instore today one of CHALK's special friends, Ed came by.  She was telling me about her favourite CHALK thing for this week and said that she finds something new every week that she falls in love with ... so I thought we would have Ed's Pick Of The Week.

Today her special love is the Miffy soft toys.

We have some new friends visiting us at CHALK at the moment although I'm sure they won't stay long.  They have taken up residence and have made themselves very much at home.  The other toys think they're very glamorous and are still a little shy around them but I did notice Jemima sidling up for a closer look at their outfits. 

I've christened them Milly, Molly and Mandy because it's very impolite to just say 'Hey you' when calling someone.

I think I should have asked more of them to stay as I have a feeling one may leave with Eliza when she works tomorrow!  I know I was itching to pop one in my bag when I left today but that hardly seems fair when they were invited for your sake, not mine.
