Stuff We Like: Springtime Goodies

From a personalized grow-your-own-plant to eco-friendly shoes and adorable, weather-appropriate pieces for kids to wear to Take Your Kid to Work Day, the "Stuff We Like" in our April issue highlights springtime goodies for your kids.

Seeds of Love

This sturdy galvanized metal bucket is handy for collecting eggs and candy on an Easter egg hunt—or, as shown here, for planting some live greenery! Each grow-your-own Easter grass kit contains soil and seeds to fill two 6-inch baskets, one 12-inch basket, or one 11-inch metal pail (containers sold separately). If you can’t place an order in time to arrive by Easter Sunday (April 8 this year), consider gifting the kit to your children and make planting a post-holiday project, or using the bucket as a stowaway for toys. ($10 for grass kit; $68 for bucket, available in multiple designs with personalized letters; chasing-fireflies.com)

All Dressed Up…With Someplace to Go

Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, a great way to help our kids explore the many life choices they have, falls on April 26 this year. More than 37 million youth and adults participate at over 3.5 million workplaces each year—will you be among them? Get the kids spiffed up with new duds that are comfortable enough to “work” in but are photo-op worthy, too. We love these Andrew & Audrey striped cotton shorts for boys ($62; andrew-audrey.com) and this girls’ bow cardigan from Millions of Colors ($68; millionsofcolorsny.com) for their versatility.
