Home Depot has all the supplies needed for any home improvement project in its cavernous big-box stores, and provides some design, construction, and installation services.

Home Depot stores offer free drop-in Kid Workshops, the first Saturday of each month from 9am-12n, for children ages five to 12 accompanied by an adult. Participants build skills and learn about tool safety while making birdhouses, fire trucks, mail organizers, or other items from pre-fab kits; each child also receives a kid-sized Home Depot orange apron and pin.

IKEA is a zoo on weekends, and worse at holidays, but it's still worth the trip for its inexpensive contemporary children's furnishings and high-quality playthings. (No surprise that the store favors the wooden variety.)

The store offers well-equipped play areas along the shopping path, as well as the inviting "model rooms," which kids are welcome to explore. Toilet-trained children more than 35 inches tall can also be checked in to the free supervised play area near the entrance, where they can snuggle on comfy steps to watch a video or play in the ball pit while parents shop.

Besides furniture, the store sells kitchen and home office items, bedding, and live plants.

The on-site cafe provides welcome relief for families needing a break during those extra-long shopping expeditions.

KLP Fine Art is run by a professional artist who offers painted portraits of kids and families, as well as murals for kids' bedrooms.

Simply Silhouettes offers an extensive collection of custom-designed silhouette products that offer a unique way to preserve the priceless moments of childhood. The recently-launched web-based business is one of the first to take this traditional art form and give it a modern edge. The child, family and pet silhouette portraits are created with classic styling, handcrafted warmth, and a touch of elegant whimsy. Products include prints, canvases, clothing, stationery sets, paperweights, gift items, jewelry, tote bags, and even wrapping paper.

Two moms - friends and neighbors - brainstormed a way for pint-sized adventurers to find a little space of their own without tearing up living rooms all over the country.

TeePeeforMe is the result - a line of 21 styles of teepees including indoor and outdoor styles and coordinating accessories: tote bags, play mats, pillows, and personalized signs. High quality fabrics come in fun patterns (like Monkey Business, Wild West Red, and Princess Paisley) and the poles are made from durable PVC. The teepees come fully assembled and store easily.

And since the open teepee stands 5.5 ft tall and is 5 feet wide on each side, there's room for parents to play, too!

Wall Words is an online resource for pre-pasted and pre-spaced transfer letters for painted walls, wallpaper, windows, mirrors, furniture, and metal. The words or phrases come in numerous fonts, sizes, and colors to match decor or mood, and you can choose from a variety of existing quotes or customize your own. The easy-to-apply format makes this a winning (and, frankly, genius) alternative to handpainting on the walls!

Kids Kuts are perfect for nurseries or playrooms, and the seven strong words packages help to create a space to underscore family values or set the right tone (think words like creative, dream, miracles, adventure, knowledge.)

Even holiday words are available for December decorating!
