A little background info on Stefani:
We stumbled onto Stefani’s site, Blue Yonder recently and no kidding have had trouble pulling ourselves away to get to work in the morning. This mother has it all, she’s smart, she’s funny, she’s creative, she’s wholesome, she’s crafty, and just down right entertaining. Not to mention one of the first lucky lady’s to be featured at Kids ~ Stuff ~ World. Who knows, maybe if we’re lucky we will be able to chat with her soon. {Hope you’re reading this Stefani, cause if you’re willing we’d love to do a post entirely about you}

Make your own Forest Fairy Costume

by Stacy on July 9, 2008

Forest Fairy Costume

The folks at Planet Happy Kids came up with the most amazing fairy wing costume and we just had to share it. The premise is simple – cardboard, leaves, and glue. Switch out the leaves for feathers, glitter and sequins, tissue paper… the possibilities are endless. These fairy wings would be great for a fall play date, a slumber party, a girl’s fairy birthday party, or even halloween, although I don’t think we’ll be able to wait that long. Thanks Planet Happy Kids , you just made this BIG kid happy!

Quick N Easy DIY Dump Truck Cake

by Stacy on July 8, 2008

Sure, you could spend hours creating the world’s greatest dump truck cake for your son’s birthday. But here at Kids Stuff World, we have to ask … why? Parents who subscribe to Kids Stuff World are looking for ways to find more time to be with their kids as opposed to dedicating all of their time/efforts trying to impress other children and their parents. This year, instead of overburdening yourself with an elaborate dump truck cake design, we ask you to consider our alternative. The ready made dump truck cake. Purchase a large size dump truck (which by the way doubles as an awesome gift later) and fill it with cupcakes, brownies, cookies, the dessert of your choosing. This ingenious alternative will be ready for display in a fraction of the time and actually offers a healthy alternative since you won’t be using the several pounds of yellow sugar icing you would have needed for the original plan. KSW parents know how to have a good time without going overboard, if you want to step it up a notch… do it by offering ice cream sundaes. Serve the base of the sundaes (brownies, cookies, bananas) in the large vehicle and offer the sides in smaller assorted vehicles.

Our Top recommendations:
For the main attraction:
Tonka Toughest Mighty Truck
For toppings and candies:
