Kids love birthdays

which is exactly why I thought this was such a great product when I saw it on a mommy blog a few weeks ago. This Birthday chain kit is a great project for you and your child to do together and is also a great visual as they count down to their "big day". Having a two year old really reminds you that a child's concept of time is a little skewed so this is a good way to help them keep track of the days and to have fun doing it. Plus, this small company donates 5% of all of their profits to support research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute after losing one of their own to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2007. How can you not admire them for that?
