NEW ⬆️ I grew up roller skating around our neighborhood so I’m really happy to see the sport’s recent popularity. These asphalt black Moxi Rainbow Riders caught my eye immediately, and they’re listed at an awesome price for beginners or casual roller skaters. They’re now back in stock at Moxi, or you can find them on Amazon (they should be around $109, not more) or at your local skatewear shop. Call them and ask! Rainbow Riders come in pink and yellow, too.

NEW ⬆️ I feel like maybe I don’t have to say much about this beautifully put together DK Smithsonian book about very small things. Look at that cover. The only thing I’ll add is that it’s a wonderfully heavy book, too.

For crafty preteens, teens, and adults who are interested in exploring natural dyes, this Natural Dye Kit Bundle for beginners is a wonderful introduction. Star Etsy seller The Love of Colours includes one indigo kit, one natural dye kit, and one indigo blockprinting kit.
Or keep it simple and start with the indigo kit to create your own totes, tees, sweatshirts, hats, onesies, pillow covers, and more. Either way, these kits make it easy to jumpstart a new hobby or spend time learning and making together.

Putting a puzzle together is also an opportunity to spend time with facts that, when you stare at them long enough—literally puzzling them together—become easy to remember. I call it puzzle osmosis. This lovely Galison Edible Flowers 1000 piece puzzle is on my list this year so the kids learn these lovely and useful blooms. Find it at Bookshop.org or get it directly from Galison.
