Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s my little man saving the city of Gotham by stomping out criminals one at a time. I don’t know a single kid who doesn’t want to dress up like a superhero. My own son is only 21 months and he loves running around...

Superheroes are big right now, but let’s not forget the Power Rangers, who have kicked their way through 20 television seasons of 17  themed series, not to mention two movies, and all in body-tight Spandex. If you’re worried about Rita Repulsa or the next...

We were so excited when we discovered Lottie, a doll who skips the stilettos and miniskirts (and curves) for clothes that look like what an actual kid would wear. Lottie comes with lots of skin and hair colors and has oodles of outfits and activities from martial arts...

by Delilah S. Dawson | Kid Style

I’m the first to freak out over great superhero shirts for my kids (and myself), but there’s something to be said for actual heroes from history. Sure, Thor has a rad hammer, but Abraham Lincoln did real good in the world. So we’re digging these...

Two super new superhero books for your little caped crusaders

by Christina Refford | Books for Kids

Look! It’s not a bird or a plane, but two super new books for our young superheroes-in-training. Because not even the most energetic superheroes can spend all their time leaping tall (LEGO) buildings or running faster than a speeding (Nerf) bullet. For those quieter...

Geek-tastic babies, your wardrobe awaits.
