Heart-tastic February!
02.06.12
February is National Heart Health Month. Pretend City Children's Museum is celebrating all month long with fun and educational programs for your children that feature both figurative heart and learning about their bodies.
The children's museum in Irvine has art activities for all age groups Tuesday through Thursday to cultivate your child's next masterpiece as well as Valentine's Day activities all day long on Tuesday, Feb. 14, including story time, poetry, symbol recognition and pin the arrow to the heart!
For more details on the heart-filled classes and other fun programs throughout the month of February (including a family autism even on Monday, Feb. 27), visit pretendcity.org. The cost of most events is included in museum admission.
Pretend City Children’s Museum is located at 29 Hubble, Irvine, CA 92618.

Teddy needs a bath
02.06.12
Do you cringe every time you take a look at your child's favorite stuffed animal? Whether it's their favorite overstuffed teddy bear, all of their tea party friends or even Fido's favorite chew toy, OC-based Teddy Needs a Bath has the best way to clean their adored playthings without ruining their fur. Fill up the sack and you're good to go! All materials are recycled and ecologically conscious, even the cardboard packaging and display cases in stores.
Teddy Needs a Bath is available online and in these select stores in Orange County.
