It seems like after Christmas break, it’s time to settle in for a long haul to Spring Break. Believe it or not, this is the time when the most teaching goes on. The kids are tired from the holidays, and are actually glad to see each other again. The short tempers from the pre-holiday stress are distant memories, and spring restlessness hasn’t set in, yet. Yes, it’s the second semester.

So, what’s new for the second semester? No doubt, mom’s had to replace quite a few things that got – well – just plain worn out during the first semester. Backpacks don’t fare well. As overloaded as they get, they tend to tear up more quickly than you’d like. That’s why the Monkey Backpack is a great idea to start the second semester. The kids probably got some new clothes, too. Maybe one of them got the KamKam Kitty Cat Hoody. It’s sure to make the other kids jealous, with the cute ears and tail. Get a Khaki Cat zipper bag to go with the hoodie, and you’ve got a theme going!

The second semester is also a great time to restock on school supplies. You know how quickly the kids go through their pens and pencils, so how about adding the Candy Bar Pens to their backpack? Or maybe your son would like the set of 4 Mighty Sword Pens. Your aspiring equestrienne would love the set of 3 Horse Pens, too.

With spring just a few weeks away, you’ll enjoy the new garden items in our inventory. Teach your kids how to have a green thumb with the Sow & Grow Gnome Garden or Monster Plants. How fun is this! Who knows what crazy plants will sprout and grow with these fun gardens? Or, your child can grow his own Christmas tree with the Grow Me! Merry Christmas Tree.

Opportunities abound. So, get your second semester started in style. Hang on until Spring Break, and we’ll catch our second – well, third – wind and make a run for summer.
