Meat Your New Favorite Bath Accessory

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 26 May 2009 13:00:00 GMT

Whether you're talking veggie dogs or all-beef frankfurters, nothing says summer like a freshly grilled hot dog -- you take into the bathtub with you.

Fear not, though: This Hot Dog & Bun Soap won't leave you smelling like paprika and garlic. The dog itself smells of bay rum, while the bun packs the scent of fresh-baked bread. And since the whole thing's made from vegan glycerin, it'll clean even the dirtiest vegetarian kid.

$8.99 from Perpetual Kid.

Colorful Automatic Tape Dispenser for the Craft Table

Aaron Burgess — Mon, 18 May 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Actually, I'd prefer to have one of these gadgets on my work desk, but considering its kid-appealing design and easy use, this colorful automatic tape dispenser makes even more sense on the craft table. Four AA batteries (not included) power the gadget, and the clear plastic case lets you marvel at the complexity behind its simplicity.

'Don't Make me Stop This Car' Travel Mug

AmandaHill — Wed, 06 May 2009 23:00:00 GMT

As far as motherly travel mugs go, this one pretty much sums up every car trip I've ever taken as both a child and parent. In fact, I'm surprised I didn't find this mug earlier. I think it says it all.

Unzipped Glass Bag Perpetually Open for Business

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 05 May 2009 14:30:00 GMT

It looks like a plain old plastic bag you left sitting out on the countertop, but don't try scooting the Unzipped Glass Bag into the kids' lunch pail. Made from hand-blown glass, Unzipped is a heavyweight, 5" tall dispenser that's ready for whatever bite-sized treats you care to fill it with. I'm partial to M&Ms, but I'm also overdue for a diet.

$19.99 from Perpetual Kid.

Blow Up Your Morning Routine with a Dynamite Alarm Clock

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:00:00 GMT

Highly Alarming, indeed: The race to deliver the world's most over-the-top wakeup call continues with this dynamite alarm clock, which pounds you with a series of beeps before dropping a big bang on your sleepy head. If that's not enough to get your little Rip Van Winkle ready to start the school day, the beeping continues until you finally "disarm" the thing. (Insert maniacal laughter here.)

Cupcake Flavored Dental Floss - Too Much?

JeanneSager — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:56:00 GMT

So you reeeeeaaaaallly want to get your kids to step up on dental hygiene? We've got bubblegum-flavored toothpaste, so why not cupcake-flavored floss?

Too much? Not according to the folks over at Perpetual Kid, claim this will turn the morning and evening routines into a party. A party in their tummy perhaps? Because the worst part of bubblegum-flavored toothpaste is just how much of it my kid EATS instead of brushing with. And you couldn't pay me to wipe a kid's hind end only to be forced to pull a long piece of floss out of you-know-where.

So what do you think? Heading over to the Perpetual Kid to buy some for your little cupcake for $3.99? Now the cupcake bandages, those I might pick up . . .

Big Fun With the I'm As Big As... Growth Chart

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:00:00 GMT

While the I'm As Big As... Growth Chart extends up to 6' 5" to to accommodate your inner child, the chart's lower regions offer just as much fun for the littler kids in your life.

Eschewing the typical height markers for captions that show just how big your little ones are (e.g., "I'm As Big As the Largest Recorded Moustache," "I'm As Big As a Blue Whale's Heart"), the heavy-cardstock chart also offers a crash course in spatial comparison. Plus, did we mention it's just a lot of fun?

Souper! Action Figure Spoons Fight for Truth, Justice and Full Bellies

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 16:00:00 GMT

Looking like Justice League recruits from Planet Kitchen, Souper! Spoons are built to tackle just that challenge -- although we have to admit, they also look like they'd make great sidekicks for your Superman action figures.

Coming mid-April for $9.99 -- add to your wish list now at Perpetual Kid.

Zoo Pops Tame Heat or Sore Throats

Heather Kuldell — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 17:32:00 GMT

I know, I know: It’s winter. Why am I posting about frozen treats? First of all, my family occasionally likes to eat freezy cold treats even when it’s freezy cold outside. Second, freezy cold treats are an excellent way to soothe sore throats associated with sneezy colds.

These Zoo Pops are an excellent DIY frozen treat option. Pour the liquid (and sugar content) of your choice into each 3D mold, freeze for six hours and remove your lion, polar bear, elephant or monkey. The set comes with eight recipes or you can experiment with your own flavor creations.

Available at Perpetual Kid for $14.99.

Drumstick Pencil Takes Kids From PSATs to Paradiddles

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:00:00 GMT

Here's a nice cheap find for the musical kid who can't stop tapping on his or her desk: One end of Suck UK's Drumstick Pencil makes for a common writing implement, but flip the pencil around -- or toss it in the air dramatically -- and you've got a real wooden drumstick. Makes for a slightly unwieldy test-taking experience, sure, but the bonus cool points are worth it.

3D Drawing Pad Makes Scribbles Jump Off the Page

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:00:00 GMT

No one's saying this 3D drawing pad will turn your kids into better artists, but even the messiest chicken scratch will inspire a chorus of "Oooohs" when you slip on the included glasses. Each pad holds 50 6" x 8.25" sheets -- pick up a spare for your own stocking, and pair it with the 3D doodle kit for maximum eye-bugging fun.

$7.99 from Perpetual Kid.

New Frontrunner In Annoying-Alarm-Clock Sweeps

Aaron Burgess — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 13:31:00 GMT

Kids still not waking up when you want them to? The latest in what seems to be an endless wave of annoying timekeepers, this Rocket Launcher Alarm Clock literally "blasts off" when it's time to wake up, and the only way you can silence it is to return the rocket to its base.

$24.99 -- unleash your inner sadist at Perpetual Kid.

Lucky Charms Lip Balm is Magically Delicious

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:03:00 GMT

Sealed in just the sort of sense-assaulting packaging that assures you it's got no nutritional value, Lucky Charms lip balm ($4.99 from Perpetual Kid) is a calorie-free way to curb kids' sugar-cereal fix while keeping their lips protected against the elements. If Lucky's pot o' gold doesn't do it for you, there's a whole line of cereal-flavored balm available, from Trix to Boo Berry to Cocoa Puffs, as well as a salty, buttery alternative in (gag) Pop Secret flavor.

Yellow Pages Booster Seat Won't Send Kids Crashing to the Floor

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:02:00 GMT

Unlike the Yellow Pages itself, this seat from Boost won't show up free on your doorstep one day. However, if you have memories of sliding off the Yellow Pages' front cover anytime your parents tried to improvise a booster seat for you, you'll probably be thankful for that. Made of washable foam, the Yellow Pages Booster Seat provides a form-fitting cushion for Junior's bottom and also holds up much better against food spills than the free alternative.

Nice Ink: Tattoo Band-aids

Kelly Mills — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:02:00 GMT

My child, like all children since the dawn of adhesive bandages, likes to cover any real or imagined scrape and scratch with band-aids. She's also very big on temporary tattoos, and often looks like a regular on Miami Ink. This is a nice, latex-free way to combine her need for old-school tats with the whole bandage fixation. Plus it's a step closer to my dream that she'll get "Mom" tattooed on her bicep. Each assortment is $3.99 from Perpetual Kid. Via Boing Boing.
