Jeep 2 in 1 Travel Booster Seats & Everyday Bag
Do you love going out to eat with your family but dislike the old, grimy booster seats and high chairs that restaurants provide? Want to go to your favorite French bistro, but can’t because they don’t have high chairs for the little ones?

Moms and Dads alike will love this convenient, light weight diaper bag that easily converts into a travel booster seat.

When you arrive at the restaurant, the shoulder strap and seat strap easily attach to most dining chairs to become a booster seat for your child. Keep your baby safe and clean with the 3-point safety restraint harness and easy to clean padded seat.
The Jeep Travel Anywhere 2-in-1 Booster Seat and Everyday Bag is a must-have for parents and grandparents who love going out to eat. Bon appetite!

Wonderbug Watermelon Craft for Kids
Today is National Watermelon Day and to celebrate this tasty treat, Wally Wonderbug has shared his easy-to-make watermelon craft for children.
What you will need:
- White, pink/red and green construction paper
- Scissors (adult use only unless child can safely use them)
- Non-toxic glue
- Non-toxic black marker
How to make watermelon craft:
- Cut the green construction paper into a half circle (we used a big bowl to help draw the lines before cutting).
- Cut pink or red construction paper into a smaller half circle (about 1/2 to 1 inch smaller in diameter).
- Glue the pink or red half circle on the green one to make the watermelon body.
- Cut two small circles out of white construction paper to make the eyes.
- Glue to top of watermelon.
- Draw in small black circles to complete the eyes.
- Using the green construction paper, cut a small half circle in a smile and place on the red/pink part of the watermelon under the eyes.
- Cut four 1 inch strips of green construction paper lengthwise.
- Fold stripes into an accordion by alternating folds back & forth. Once strip is completely folded, let it go & you will get the bouncy accordion effect for the arms & legs. Glue onto the back of the watermelon body.
- Draw in little circles on the pink/red part for the watermelon seeds.
After you are done making the craft, enjoy a slice of nutritious watermelon with your children!
