Organic Painting for the Holidays

We've certainly been busy at Vanny Bean over the past couple of weeks! I realize that we talk about the Wee Can Too Organic Finger paints quite a bit, however if you haven't tried these all natural, organic, eco friendly finger paints for babies, toddlers, and young school age children, THEY REALLY ROCK!

What a fun idea to use them for holiday painting ideas...Did we mention that the orange color is made from real pumpkin. Don't miss out on a Halloween painting season for your little pumpkin. Christmas is just around the corner, save them as a gift and use the green and pink/red to decorate the tree. Did we mention they are easy to clean too!

At Vanny Bean we love this time of year and hope you do too! Cheers and happy harvest season to all of you...

The Low Down on Slingin It with your Baby

The Low Down on Slingin It with your Little One

The choices can be overwhelming and deciding wether or not to carry your baby or wrap your baby in a sling is your decision ultimately, but we wanted to give some sage advise on how a sling can help you out in your day to day life and routine.

•Vanny Bean has found some great advantages to carrying your baby by sling:

•It's convenient and easy. You can breastfeed privately in a sling while working, getting things done around the house, shopping or eating in a restaurant. (Please do not travel down the stairs in your sling with your baby). If you have a baby who wants to be held all the time, this is an easy way to meet her needs while doing other things. Think of having an extra hand that is free to move around, talk on the phone, type, or relax with your baby.

•It helps moms care for older siblings. Carrying your baby in a sling can give you the mobility to care for older children while being close to baby.

•It helps some babies to breastfeed better because of the closeness. Some babies, particularly those who are tense or tend to arch their backs, breastfeed better while moving. Also, babies who are slow to gain weight (for no apparent reason) have been known to gain better if carried in a sling for several hours a day, since proximity to mom encourages babies to eat more frequently.

•It can enhance learning. Carried babies have enhanced visual and auditory alertness, and increased "quiet alertness" times. Carrying a baby promotes cognitive development and speech development, since babies are exposed to experiences and conversations right out of the womb.

•Carried babies are involved in their parents' world. They participate in life, rather than see it as a spectator.

•Carrying your baby promotes bonding and enhances parents' feelings of competence. A higher frequency of feeding and touching stimulates mothering hormones, and frequent carrying encourages and speeds the development of a mutual reading of each other's cues.

Finding a sling that is right for you

There are many types of baby carriers. These include adjustable slings with rings (these come padded or unpadded), pouch slings that are not adjustable,modern, traditional, and wrap arounds. No wonder the confusion when looking for a sling that is right for you and your baby!
Look at photos of the different types, and, if possible, try on several different types, brands and sizes of baby carrier to see which suits you best.

How do I choose the sling that is right for me?

One of our favorite slings is Karma Baby. Karma Baby is a hip fun and modern sling that is durable for your baby and is an easy convenient wrap around sling. With many choices to choose from like organic, water, patterned, and solid you will find what you are looking for with Karma Baby.

Have your paint and eat it too!

Sarid and I instantly became friends both outgoing, lively, passionate, and full of ideas. From the moment we spoke on the phone, I had so many ideas for her on how to market the business. Vanny Bean has been carrying Wee Can Too paints on the site since the beginning. The eco friendly organic all natural paints are A-Mazing to say the least. They are completely safe for your kids and edible in case they decide to put their little hands into their mouth, which has been known to happen while fingerpainting.

I loved the idea so much that we decided to partner with Sarid in her love affair and passion with the paints.As parents, as business partners, and as friends we are in Wee Can Too together!  Whenever you have a passion in life, go for it and so we did. Wee Can Too is on it's way as our little project turning into a big one in big ways.

Already capturing the east coast market, we are moving to the Midwest with our organic paints making baby, toddler, and children painting fun again! Wee Can Too is all the rage with mommy bloggers, autistic children for art therapy, babies, toddlers, and will be coming to art mueseums soon!

Look for our Organic Bath Balls coming very soon!
