THINGS TO TRY THIS MONTH

Gellydrop Nails

Ohora semicured gel nail strips are similar in concept to other nail strips available. The main difference is these strips sold by Gellydrops are thicker and they set with a UV LED light. Our tester said, “I’m terribly hard on polish and don’t even try regular polish anymore. I got two tiny chips on day 10 but they were small enough I could live with them. The strips stayed on for 16 days before I removed them.” Gellydrops also sells a remover that works well and was odor free. gellydrops.com, $13-20, depending on style

Sticker Suncatcher Kit

This kit comes with everything you need to decorate seven suncatchers based on the book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” “This was the perfect spring time craft. My 3 year old needed to be guided but my 8 and 5 year olds were completely independent.” Placing the suncatchers on a white piece of paper while decorating made it easier for the kids to see. The butterfly has specific sticker shapes, so make sure to start with that one. “We finished our time together by reading the story and it was a lot of fun!” amazon.com, $14.99
