I love crossword puzzles, word puzzles and anagrams, and I’m pretty sure my obsession stems back to spending hours trying to master my mom’s Scrabble techniques or complete a crossword puzzle with my grandmother.

Stimulating your little ones with word games when they are young is a fun way to instill a lifelong love of all things related to language. And what better way to do that than with this fun wallpaper I found on Minor Details?

Your kids will love the chance to draw on the walls, and you’ll love how much they’ll be stimulated by a simple strip of wallpaper!

Kids’ bath toys have come a long way since the days of the classic rubber ducky. If you are looking for a fun way to spice up your little one’s bath time, try some of these adorable gifts that are sure to turn your nightly ritual into a splish-splashing good time!

• Bath Luve Bath Blankets: These cuddly characters drape over your baby’s torso to keep your little one warm.

• Eebee’s Hug and Splash Adventure Books: Waterproof bath books are a favorite option for our Tiny Prints staffers and their little ones.

• Water Bugs Floating Game: Fun, smart and simple, this toy lets your kids scoop up the little floating bugs as they glide across the water.

• Tadoodles Washable Bath Crayons: Drawing on the bathtub walls is a classic way to play, but these unique shapes make it even easier for your little artist to grip his or her crayons.

There’s a reason why classic memory games are still around—they are fun, can be quite charming and help improve a child’s mental skills. But you don’t have to shell out money for a store bought memory game! Make your own with a few of these bright ideas from around the web:

• Merriment Design recently featured this adorable fabric photo memory game, complete with directions for printing your photos and constructing everything from the game pieces to the bag you store them in! It’s such a fun way to put family photos to use. You could create a new game after every big trip, holiday or celebration!

• If your kids are glued to the computer, you can create your own Flickr memory game by uploading photos using this template. And, if you are on Flickr, be sure to join the Tiny Prints group!

• If you have leftover party invitations lying around, you can cut them up, mount the pieces and turn the individual images into memory game pieces.  This would work particularly well with a design that had a lot of images within it, like this fun Picnic Thieves summer party invitation.
