Wooden baby gifts

Wooden baby toys

4little1s.com - Traditional Wooden Toys

Choosing the right wooden toy for your child is not easy and there is a whole world out there of wooden toys for babies and toddlers. It is important to choose the right age group for the toy as well as ensuring its fun, brightly colored, educational and safe.

A simple wooden train or a push along duck / mouse or Fairy can bring hours of fun and they provide mental stimulation to the baby or toddler. Any toys that have sound or vibration also improve mental stimulation and attention as does the texture.Puzzles and wooden building blocks are the old favorites for the younger babies when it comes to wooden toys, but don't forget about sequencing toys and of course play buildings such as farms, castles, fire stations, police stations and dolls houses. The are all great fun and provide hours of entertainment.Whilst many parents are anxious that their children learn from their toys it is important to remember that children learn through play and having fun and whilst your children are young this is the most important aspect for their development and well being.

In summary, then look for wooden toys with consideration for :

Colour
ShapeTexture
Sound / Vibration
Sequencing (1,2,3 - A, B, C etc)

Rainy day ideas from baby gifts site 4little1s.com

Baby gifts website advises on those rainy days and children

When you wake up in the morning and It’s raining outside, you just know the kids are going to get board and want to play outside. After an hour or so you start to get bored yourself with them telling you they are bored…and it goes on all day. Well from experience, here are a few ideas that hopefully might make that day go smoother and quicker, 4little1s.com top tips for rainy days. You will be surprised how even the simplest of things can be great fun for kids and just how imaginative they really can be.

Computer - There are some great kids websites out there, our kids favorite at the moment is Lego and CBBC. Even sites like Google Earth are great sites for fun and education at the same time. Having some online software protection such as parental locks is a good idea. Physically keeping an eye on what they are accessing, try to have the computer in the lounge / kitchen areas etc when you can keep an eye on them. Avoid leaving them with full Internet access on the Internet while on their own in the bedroom for hours on end.

Give toys a new life – We painted an odd dolls house (bright pink!) and it suddenly became a great new toy to play with. Bringing new life to old toys is great fun and converting them is very cost effective. Even clearing out an old toy cupboard, you are bound to find toys at the back that have not been played with for ages. Remember the brightly colored building blocks that were a baby gift ?
Old favorites – While probably not going to entertain for a very long time, don’t forget the old favorites, hide and seek, eye spy, coloring, treasure hunt with sweets / chocolate etc. These games can soak up half an hour and gets you involved as well

Cooking cookies – Making some cookies and of course eating them can be great fun. Especially when they are involved with the mixing, food coloring, recipe instructions and of course the hundreds and thousands sprinkles

Camping – Go camping on an expedition…..have a picnic in the lounge or other room. Some chairs, a blanket and you have a tent. A blanket on the floor and some sandwiches and there is your picnic. Obviously it’s not outside, but can be any room in the house.

Board games – Board games are great fun for everyone and can have many , get the board games out, Monopoly, Don’t wake dad, Wheel of Fortune, Guess who…...get them out, dust them off and throw the dice.
Card games – With a regular set of cards there are loads of games that you can play (look online for ideas on card games). You may even have some card games like Uno - all great fun.

Invite a friend over. Just because you can’t go outside to play doesn’t mean friends can’t come over to the house to play. Inviting friends over is one of the easiest ways to break a kid’s boredom. A friend brings exciting new prospects and makes even the most played video game exciting again.

….and finally, clear out all your baby gifts you have and old toys, many might have a new lease of life.

Potty training

Baby gifts website talks about Potty fun !

Ok here it comes potty training ….be warned accidents WILL happen!

Potty training is inevitable and comes to us all. The main thing is to remember that each baby is unique and develops at different times than others. When your child is ready, that’s when to start…. not before and not after. Not that you can always plan it, but if it’s potty training time and its summer, this means they can learn outside with less ‘accidents’ inside.
The main point is to recognize when your child is ready and don’t listen to other parents as to when their child started, it’s not a competition. All children will be using the toilet by the time they are 5 years old. Every child is an individual and it is really important to remember that.
What are the signs when baby / toddler is ready to start?
Check for awareness of when baby realizes they have gone to the toilet (wee or poo) in their nappy. If your child has regular bowel movements then you can get them to sit on the potty at the right time and praise them if they manage to use it. We found giving them rewards particularly successful and definitely worth a try. Look on the web for companies that provide gifts and treats for children to encourage them. Reward charts or even toys (we used simple wooden toys) are great motivators.
In summary:

· Not a competition
· Start when baby / toddler is ready
· Rewards are key

4little1s.com is an online baby gifts website offering a wide range of gifts such as:

· UK Baby gifts
· Wooden toys

Google Algorithm for PageRank

The Google PageRank algorithm

PR (A) = (1-d) +d (PR(t1)/C(t1) + … + PR(tn) /C (TN))

4little1s.com is a baby gift and nursery furniture website located at http://www.4little1s.com/ and has recently started up this year. In an effort to gain a better understanding of getting onto the first page of Google for marketing purposes, PageRank appears to be one of the keys to this process.

While appearing not to be a totally exclusive factor, having a good page rank appears to help your position within Google. I say ‘appears’ as the overall algorithm to a high position does change, so while one day the emphasises is on xyz, it may and probably does change, once people suddenly realise what they should be doing. DMOZ being a good example of this!

As a mathematician by trade, starting the business was excellent for my brain, but when we talk about Algorithms its heaven.

The equation above is actually quite easy to understand and I try to explain as simply as I can:

PR is the actual Page Rank you are looking to get
A = The Web page in question (use your home page as an example)
d = A suppressive dampening effect variable I suggest a value of 0.85 is not far from the mark
t1…tn = Pages linking to (A) In this case we used our homepage
C = Is the number of links on the page that are outbound to other sites you have linked to

4little1s.com baby gifts Google book

Baby gift website review of Google book

As you may or may not know, in our quest to rise up the search engine rankings for our baby gift website, 4little1s.com, I have been reading a few books all about Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Having just read the book ‘Get into bed with Google’ by Jon Smith, I thought I would write a quick review of the book as I thought it was an excellent read.

The book is broken down into 52 excellent points about getting listed into Google better. I found this particularly useful as it can be dipped into as and when you have some time.

Each point gives you the pointer as to go off and investigate further, usually with a nugget of information such as a website address or a specific keyword to find out more.

I’m not going to list the 52 brilliant ideas but rather write a few paragraphs about the whole book and a few checklist bullet items that should be followed up.

Be aware there is paid and unpaid (natural) listing. The issue with the paid listing is just that !.....you have to pay for it. Natural listing while does cost (in your own time) you don’t actually pay for each time someone clicks on your site advert. However, if you want instant results, check out Google Adwords

Links should be gathered and listed on your site, however consider the quality and nature of them as well as their current page rank. Having a single high rank in bound link is worth lots of low rank (and hard work) links.

Forget Hits, Page view, PPC and PPM, Unique visitors is the key metric to monitor. This is basically how many people ‘actually’ visited your website. While the other figures have their place, they don’t always give the true actual position.

Make sure you add your URL to the Google submit section and don’t forget there are other search engines out there such as MSN, AltaVista etc etc.

Consider a sitemap submission via XML to really ensure Google sees and crawls you fully.

Keywords are the key, consider research them (lots of keyword tools out there for your research)

Don’t try to trick Google, they really have seen it all before, ‘same coloured text as the background’ ? COME ON GUYS !!!! this was done years ago and Google knows this one. Other not so obvious ones like redirects or ghost domains might be done legitimately, but you may feel the wrath of Google and not get listed / removed. It’s really not worth it and Google know alls the gags. Its hard work that counts I’m afraid.

Finally, content really is king and having new content each time Google visits you will always stand you in good stead.

Baby Bedding 4little1s.com

Baby bedding tips from 4little1s.com

Baby bedding, swaddle pods and curtains are an essential part of baby's nursery. Material, make, colours, patterns and styles of baby bedding are available today and are almost endless. From the standard and regular range right through to designer and to top end luxury / ultra-trendy styles, you can give your baby's nursery any look you desire with the right baby bedding. We hope the information below will help you select the perfect baby bedding for your baby's nursery, and don’t forget that babies are messy, so always think about a spare set.
Baby Bedding complete sets or 1’s & 2’s ?
If you browse our website at www.4little1s.com, you will see that baby bedding companies’ package their products as complete sets that often include a baby sheet, baby comforter and the baby bumper pad. Some even package the whole room up and include wardrobes, Cot and drawers etc. Typically baby bedding sets may also include a baby swaddle pod and other baby accessories such as baby nappy disposers and supplies (see our links page for Natural and organic versions) or even right through to baby mobiles and rigs. See our web page www.4little1s.com for our lovely range on baby mobiles which are very popular. Don’t rule out baby bedding as separates though, as they allow you to select exactly which pieces you'll buy and use giving you a unique combination.

Remember though – Buying baby bedding as individuals means you may not be able to find the matching item again a product lines do get discontinued.
Baby bedding

Ok lets face it, babies are messy……

Do think about buying an extras set, we can tell you form experience its 2am in the morning when another change of bedding was needed; we wished we had bought that extra set. It doesn't matter whether you spend a little or a lot on the baby bedding your baby will use, but you should make sure that the sheets and other baby bedding that will touch baby's skin is very soft. Knit cotton sheets are popular, as are flannel crib sheets and higher thread-count woven cottons. Choose a material that will wash easily, and make sure that all of the bedding pieces can be washed in a machine. Babies make too many messes to deal with hand-washing or spot-treating.

Visit our range of baby bedding at 4little1s.com and check out swaddle pods….

Baby Bedding Must be cuddly and snuggly

Most babies bedding today are made to a fairly standard size, and most baby bedding is designed to fit a wide variety of baby mattress sizes. You may find that your baby bedding is slightly larger or smaller than your baby mattress, though, so it's a good idea to check that everything is the right size before washing the bedding for baby's arrival. For your baby's safety, baby bedding must fit the baby mattress snugly. If you want an extra measure of security, look for elastic straps that clip to the crib sheet under the mattress to hold the sheet in place.
Top tip - Buy Extra baby Bedding…you don’t want to wish you had a 2am !
Babies make a lot of mess in their early months, we know for experience, so prepare for those messes by buying at least one extra set of baby bedding. Having three or four baby sheets is even better in case of an extra-messy night. Buying an inexpensive plastic mattress cover to put under the baby sheet will help in quick bedding changes, too, by keeping the crib mattress dry.

How Long Will You Use the baby Bedding?

When you're deciding how much to budget for baby bedding, consider how long you will want to use the same baby sheets or other coordinating pieces. Many toddler beds can use the standard baby-size bedding, so a luxury baby bedding set could be used for many years. Handing baby bedding down to siblings or friends might also warrant spending more on a high-quality bedding set. If you'd like to be able to change baby's nursery decor often, or you don't intend to use a toddler bed, inexpensive baby bedding or basic baby separates might be a better choice.
