Have you ever wanted to travel the world, get a stamp on your passport, experience the culture and food of another country? Then this is the perfect gift for you and your child. Not only is it unique but it teaches kids about other areas of the world, it teaches them cooking skills and it is fun!
Passport to the World is a multicultural kids culinary program founded by Entrepreneur and Family Cookbook author Patricia Green. Passport to the World takes kids on a culinary and cultural adventure of the world through a monthly membership program including recipes, crafts, language, history, geography and more!
The monthly membership provides a fascinating view of the world by engaging all five senses. Children will experience a wide variety of activities in a magical, interactive online journey of each monthly destination. They will listen to a fun-filled musical tour of each cultural destination with a CD from Putumayo Kids. A hands-on cooking experience teaches kids to practice their creativity and imagination, and the result will fill their senses with delightful aromas and delicious flavors.
Passport to the World also has the following benefits:
It helps overcome picky-eater syndrome – kids will be enthusiastic to try what they’ve made.
It brings families together through the joy of cooking – you can even turn it into a monthly family tradition!
A monthly project promotes ongoing learning – and excites kids about their world!
It boosts self esteem by teaching new skills such as foreign language, cooking techniques, geography, travel and more!
It encourages children to embrace and appreciate cultural diversity.
What I love about Passport to the World is that it encompasses so many learning experiences into one site. Perfect for us as homeschoolers who are constantly looking for ways to enrich our curriculum. Perfect because we all love to cook. And Perfect for us because well, you know how we all love Geography. That is why Passport to the World made this years Gift Guide. I hope you will be as in love with it as I am.

Have you ever wanted to just reach out and hug the moon? Peace Toys has created a line of huggable planets that is both fun and educational. As I have said before, we love geography here. We love studying about other places, how they live, their demographics, etc. With Hugg-A-Planet Earth we have had a “ball” tossing it around to see what new place we can find to study about with is geographic accuracy. Hugg-A-Planet has also created Mars and the Moon. All of the products in their line of huggable toys feature a soft-huggable planet and accurate maps of the planet they feature. You can learn from them, you can play with them, and you can cuddle with them. These are a great tool to teach our children to be aware of their planet, increase their global awareness, and geographic knowledge.
The Hugg-A-Planet Product line was aboard the first Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) rocket to the International Space Station (ISS), the Sept. 11 launch and Sept. 18th docking was flawless. This award-winning product line brings the universal appeal of these fun and educational products to earth orbit. Whether in space or back home here on planet Earth, Hugg-A-Planets are for everyone.
Often used as a simple conversation piece for some, an educational resource for teachers, and for others just for a simple embrace. Now the Hugg-A-Planet® Earth, Hugg-A-MoonTM and Hugg-A-Planet® Mars will circle the Earth for many years to come. The Hugg-A-Planets will make a full orbit around the Earth every 90 minutes on the Space Station. They will stay there for as long as the space station remains active, at least till 2016, and will orbit the Earth 5860 times every year! NASA chose the Hugg-A-Planet globes peacetoys.com as a space-based teaching tool because of their geographic accuracy and soft construction. They also can be tossed around like a ball or used as a pillow.
Hugg-A-Planets were voted as one of Parents Choice Foundation “Best 25 Toys of the Past 25 Years” and “Classic Toy of the Year” by Dr. Stevanne Auerbach ( “Dr. Toy” ) who said “The Hugg-A-Planet belongs in every toy box.”
Caring adults appreciate this ideal way to start children’s geographic education. Over 600 locations are labeled on the Hugg-A-Planet, including the world’s smallest nation ( Niue ). And they offer something extra … they can be hugged. Studies have shown that the majority of our personality is formed from birth to 7 yrs old. “Imagine generations growing up hugging the world. It is incredibly rewarding”, said Forenza. “I believe that people who hug the earth encourage others to care for the earth. besides, it’s a good way of promoting global awareness, sustainability, ecological consciousness and geography.”
Check out Hugg-A-Planet today and lets teach our kids to love our planet and be a little greener.
PeaceToys supplied me with some of the information contained in this post and also supplied me with a sample product for review.
