Bug Bam! Bracelets – Mosquitoes and other flying, biting insects need blood in order to lay their eggs. The female Mosquito that does this through the use of ‘receptors’ that pick up the scent (inc. carbon dioxide, breath, sweat, lactic acid) of a person or animal that matches the blood they are looking for. Bug Bam works by emitting an ‘aura’ of all natural, plant-based essential oils (hence the strong – yet pleasant – smell each product releases). Our formula is proprietary and based on the most effective, safe, all-natural and scientifically proven, EPA/FDA approved repelling ingredients available. The Bug Bam ‘aura’ masks these odors we humans (and our pets) emit, effectively making you smell like a plant! Mosquitoes and other flying, biting insects look elsewhere as they can no longer find their victims thanks to Bug Bam!

Mountain’s daughter has mastered all of the moves illustrated in Cat’s Cradle, a board book that comes with a colorful string for making the figures.

Yamodo! Good to Go! – The premise of Yamodo! Good to Go! is simple: You have a small sheet of paper with a made-up word on it, like “rasipop,” “zingator,” “yamaroni” or “nufarium,” and a few sketched lines that are the beginnings of a doodle. The first player turns the doodle into a drawing to help illustrate your definition of the word. Then you pass it on to the next player who adds to the doodle and the written definition. Typical definitions are three lines long, but you could keep going on the back of each sheet in the spiral pad (that comes with a pen). Created for anyone ages 8 and up, this game combines creativity and collaboration.

Zobmondo You’ve Got to Be Kidding Card Game – This is the handy card game version of “Would You Rather…?” Game that features crazy questions like “Would you rather eat an entire watermelon including the seeds, rind, and everything else or drink a pitcher full of corn dog batter?” or “Would you rather cut a baseball field of grass with your teeth or lick up a huge rain puddle?” MountainMama recommends this card game as a stocking stuffer or birthday gift for kids as young as age 6. The only bummer is that because it retails for such a low price ($4.99) the Zobmondo!! company doesn’t sell it on its website. (It would cost more to package and ship it.) So, look for the card game at Target on one of the “end-caps” of the toy aisle the next time you brave the holiday-shopping crowds!
