| We’re really looking forward to seeing THE BOOK OF LIFE. It’s such a privilege being a Cost Plus World Market Ambassador and I’m excited to share new ideas and product selections with you. |
A child’s natural curiosity and abundance of imagination are certainly delightful attributes to encourage. I love finding items to peak my son’s interest that lead him outdoors to explore new ideas or discover a different way to look at things.
This week, I put together a discovery kit fill with exclusive toys from the Cost Plus World Market Book of Life Collection. Inspired by the film, each of toys offers endless possibilities for hours of hands-on fun outdoors or in.

| Looking through Book of Life Kaleidoscope Set |
My son’s favorites include The Book of Life Kaleidoscope Set and the Book of Life Light Show. The kaleidoscope set has him mesmerized with the constant change of colors forming gorgeous artistic patterns with every slight twist of the canister. With two, he has one to share with his older brother, with friends or even with mom or dad! We both had a great time comparing and sharing kaleidoscope views on a sunny afternoon this week.

We live in Dallas and I love the Latin influence on this line of products. I’m going to take my little boy to World Market to pick out a couple of things.
This is going to be an amazing movie, and my kids can’t wait to go, now your post inspired me to take them even more.
I love the idea of having these to enjoy along with the movie. You’ve definitely piqued my curiosity.
Cool kit! I have been seeing the commercials for this film for a couple months now and it looks like something the entire family would enjoy.
