Happy 2015, everyone! Kidstock hopes that this new year brings you and yours a year filled with health and happiness, along with lots of fun clothing and toys. Our shelves are filled and our racks are full -- come shopping soon!. |
It's in the Bag, Again
This past year the plastic bag ban officially become law in the city of L.A. Kidstock-size stores are not required to comply with the ban, but we always like to help save the planet where we can.
At Kidstock, we can already see the cultural change. Fully three quarters of our customers decline a bag at checkout or bring his/her own into the store.
Congratulations to the City of L.A. (and our conscientious customers) and all of their efforts to change the nature of how we use our natural resources in our everyday lives. |
Reminders
* We are accepting bags with clothing, toys, and small furniture items. Items do not need to be seasonal. You may drop off at any time, although we do ask that you limit yourself to 1-2 (non-ripped, not too heavy) bags at a time. Please remember that we do not accept stained or torn items. Games/puzzles must be complete. **Heads up notice: we will not be accepting drop-offs this year during July and August. Plan ahead!
* Kidstock will be closed on Friday, January 16 and Saturday, January 17 due to a fab family celebration. We apologize for the inconvenience.
* A great tip worth repeating: If you are shopping without your kids, bring a pair of pants with you that fit him/her well. That way you can measure the length/waist against items in the store and have a better idea of sizing.
* So a dynamo named Donna visited us at Kidstock last week, bearing very yummy cookies. She introduced herself as our new neighbor -- she just opened a bakery across the street from us named Delicious Arts. She specializes in handmade artisan cakes, but also has lots of treats in her store, including homemade Oreos. Just one more reason to spend some quality time on our little slice of kid heaven on Pico!
* Don't forget to check out Patootie Cakes diaper cakes for a unique and fun shower centerpiece or new parent gift. Visit www.patootiecakes.com, order, and get free S/H when you pick up at Kidstock. Additional discounts are offered if you pay in cash. |

Messy January Art Project
Tasty Fingerpaint Recipe
As many of you know, we at Kidstock love messy art and we especially love when the art is good enough to eat. Here is a simple project that combines it all!
Supplies:
plain yogurt
Kool Aid in several colors (or flavors! For green, mix blue and yellow.)
brushes, paper, or cookie sheets
Mix a couple scoops of yogurt with about a half package of Kool Aid. The consistency should be great for fingerpainting or body painting. Have a bathtub handy before you start for quick clean up -- or better yet, do it IN the bathtub! (The fingerpaint won't taste good, btw, as neither of these food items have sugar in them to start with, but no one will get hurt by eating it, either.)
