The Box Citrus Lane added snowflakes and changed their yellow to white on the box.  It definitely had a winter theme. Cut Outs There were different cut outs on the bottom of the box.  You can punch them out and use a flashlight to shine shapes on the ceiling. First Look Information Card Citrus Lane includes a complete list of all the items in the box and a description about the product. Pearhead Handprint Art Kit $5.33 This is a really cute project, that I can’t wait to do with L.  I love preserving hand prints as my children grow. Babytime Episcencial Snuggly Lotion $5.10 This smells good, but I may use this with T.  L is a bit old for lotion.  He hates sunscreen (he wears it anyway), so I don’t think he will wear this. Crocodile Creek Rockets Kid Time Watch $15.99 I was disappointed when I saw L was getting a watch, because I just bought L a watch.  L’s watch broke after 3 days (not his fault), so this came at the perfect time!
