Hello Everybody! I thought I would start writing about all the wonderful products we have in our store that are great for kids behind toddler years.
My son Matteo is 5 years old and started Kindergarten last year. Right now he is all into making up stories.
So one day I bought him one of the eeBoo Big Books.
Basically one page is ruled and the other page is blank. Matteo usually draws a picture on the blank page and then writes a little story on the ruled paper. Its tons of fun for him and he often sits down for hours drawing picture and making up stories. And best of all he uses his imagination and learns how to spell out words. This is not just great for at home. You can literally bring it everywhere just make sure to pack a pencil and some crayons.

Metro Minis just became the first retailer in NYC to carry Charlie's soap.  This stuff is amazing.  It is actually detergent derived from biodegradable coconut-based detergents and high-grade, completely soluble, Green River washing soda. 
 
Only one tablespoon is required per laundry load, so an 80-load bag takes up only half the space in our apartment as a bag of flour.  Its formula is biodegradable, non-toxic and hypo-allergenic; it is fragrance free, yet the scent of it is clean and light. 
It does not cover up stains and odors with scents and brighteners - it really cleans.
 
As a multi-tasking cleaner it excells at cleaning stained cloth diapers, all other laundry, carpet stains, floors, cars, dentures (yes!), and probably a thousand things we haven't tried.  It is truly our new favorite all-purpose cleaner.
