Please welcome the newest addition to our Peekaboo Beans Family – CiCi Bean!

Inspired by love and adventure, the CiCi Bean Fall/Winter 2012 Collection mixes hints of vintage travel with the energy of new, exciting experiences. Coming in September 2012!
Every girl has a special spark of energy that lives inside of her. It’s an energy that is brought to life through her personality and her passions. When we give girls the oppurtunity to explore their creativity and experience adventure this energy is unleashed. Thier personalities become defined and they can spread their joy to everyone around them. It gives them the oppurtunity to “Leave Their Mark on the World.”
Fashion:
The CiCi Bean design team is always on the lookout for new fashion trends and design ideas. We design with current trends in mind but add uniqueness and flare that allows the pieces to be worn for many seasons.
Comfort:
All garments are made from the same soft, durable Jersey and French Terry fabrics that you’re used to from the PB collection. When clothing is too tight, thin, itchy or revealing we tend to blame our bodies for the poor fit. When in reality it is the garment that is at fault. That’s why all CiCi Beans are designed to be comfortable, soft and easy to wear.
Personal Style:
The CiCi Bean collection is designed with personal style in mind. Each piece stands out on its own and can easily mix and match with pieces that already exists in your tweeny beans wardrobe. So putting outfits together with CiCi Beans, other brands, and accessories is easy and fun!
Tonight I had coffee with a wonderful new mom, and chatted about what it means to be a Peekaboo Beans Play Stylist! I loved sharing my passion for the company, the products and the importance of play. It’s always such a great feeling to introduce Peekaboo Beans to someone and have them become just as excited about the products as I am.
For this new mom, Peekaboo Beans would be an opportunity to do something different, creative and energizing, all while generating some great extra income.
If you would like to find out more about how you too can join my team and earn an income while being part of an amazing team of supportive, like minded business women, email me vickyb.stylist@peekaboobeans.com and I will send you a start up package!
There are so many little details in Peekaboo Beans that makes it unique. It’s so hard to see these details from a product photo. But we now have this great little feature sheet that outlines all of the amazing things about this brand. Features like chin guards, twill tape hems, thumbholes and durable fabrics. I have yet to see a line of childrenswear like Peekaboo Beans that is so functional and versatile.
When I first got my hands on some Peekaboo Beans five years ago, I used to save Joel’s outfits for special occasions, not wanting them to get dirty or wrecked. Then I gave my head a shake. Why was I saving it? His Peekaboo Beans were meant for PLAYING IN! 
So I took them out of the closet, and let him wear them! They were durable to withstand all his crawling around on all fours, dashing over tall buildings and slaying dragons. His Peekaboo Beans were the first thing pulled out of the dryer, and always requested! I loved how comfortable he was in the stretchy fabrics.
Joel’s clothing was washed and rewashed dozens of times before he out grew it. If he had a brother, they would have been passed along to him too. I still have nearly all of his outfits saved in a box in his closet. I just cannot bear to part with them. Every once in a while I take them out of the box and refold them, checking to see if there is anything I might be able to squeeze on to him one last time.
1. CHILDREN pick their own clothing – Peekaboo Beans encourages independent dressing!
2. CHILDREN wear them without help – wide elastic waists are easy to pull up, zipper pulls are childsized, and there are no buttons or fastners to fumble with.
3. PLAY and MOVEMENT is unrestricted – fabrics are soft and stretchy for maximum comfort.
4. MOMS love them because they wash, dry, and wear so easily!
5. YOU can resell your loved Peekaboo Beans on our Vintage Beans Facebook group - NOTHING lasts longer than a day on the page, and the average piece is sold in approximately 5 minute
s!

I love creating ‘experiences’ for my children, and making that magic of childhood happen for them. I’m often inspired by other bloggers who share the amazing things they do for their kids. My friend Andrea from A Peek inside the fishbowl sets the bar high when it comes to creating those experiences. I’ll never forget the time she created a tempoary forest in her backyard out of digarded Christmas trees.
When I read about what Fan, a Toronto mom and blogger was doing to help her son develop his strengths and talents through play, I was awestruck. She chronicles the adventures she has out and about in big ol’ Toronto with her son Teddy on her blog Teddy Out-Ready. I’m really excited to share this post she wrote about she is helping Teddy Exploring the world through play and adventures!
Exploring the world through play and adventures
By Fan R.
Being a good first time mom is very difficult task that brings a lot of joy and even more responsibility. As soon as our son Teddy turned 8 months we started exposing him to different events and shows which we have so many in our megalopolis. Of course, we targeted only toddler friendly activities that can help us to learn more about our son and develop him physically and mentally the best way we can.
We created a global chart of milestones that we could achieve for a year and underlined the activities that can help us to do that. It is not written in stone and it all depends on his own abilities and desires to accomplish them, we just want to give him the opportunity to explore and find his strengths and talents. We began creating a weekly activity plan which we call adventures. Since we take a lot of pictures and videos, we decided to start blogging and post reports about Teddy’s adventures on Teddy Out-Ready.
We decided to attend one big event every week, with the remaining days filled with routine and fun activities that Teddy loves to do. We try to balance indoor and outdoor activities, since nothing can be more beneficial for a toddler’s health than using the playground to exercise, breathe fresh air and play all at the same time.
Currently Teddy goes to MyGym twice a week. He enjoys bars, obstacle courses, balance beams, slides, ladders, ball pool and trampolines. Day 1 is a more structured class with games, gymnastic stations, separation time and puppet show. Day 2 is open play to dash around and have fun. Teddy loves to go to the swimming pool and we try and take him twice a week, the first day in Parent & Tot 3 class with instructor and second one is recreational swim to enjoy and play.
Once a week, Teddy attends art class at 4Cats Art Studio where he concentrates on painting a winter landscape– it is going to take up to six classes to complete the final painting.
The big event this week – we are going to see the Lorax in Imax3D! Teddy played with Lorax himself during Kids-Fest and the Outdoor Adventures Show and it was very exciting to finally see him in the theatre.
Here is Teddy’s sample schedule for the week:
Monday
AM: Playground at Community Centre
PM: Heading to MyGym Open Play for dance, games, gymnastics and just having fun

What about you, do you have weekly activities scheduled, or do you play it by ear week by week? What works best with your kids?
Today is a big day for Peekaboo Beans. A project that we have been working on for months is now ready for us to share with you. What is our goal? Simply – we want children to play. Free from rules, free from structure, space to learn and grow…. This video is our message….from our Beans – to you.
Today marks the launch of our PLAY REVOLUTION, an awareness campaign designed to educate people on the importance of play for childhood development.
What do we ask, give 3 minutes of your time and share this with your friends. If we can get to 5000 views, Peekaboo Beans will donate $1000.00 to Playgroundbuilders.org to fund the building of playgrounds in war torn countries. Together – we can make a difference.
