Santa Claus is coming to town....

 

 

And making a stop at Grasshopper!  We're so excited!! 

He'll be here Wednesday, December 14th and arriving between 5:30pm and 6pm

 

We wanted to tell you a bit about our Santa visit.  It's not a visit like at a mall.  We don't have a big line where you wait and then take a picture.  It's a very informal, living room type setting.  After Santa makes his entrance, all of the kids gather around him (in the book and play area) and then each take a turn sitting on his lap and talking to him.

 

 

Here are somethings to remember:

-Bring a camera.

-Be prepared to be patient

-If your little ones have a hard time waiting, or are very shy in front of others, we recommend coming a bit later in the evening when the crowd has died down a bit.

-We will be open until 8PM this night for your holiday shopping! 

 

 

If you have any questions about the visit, give us a call at the shop, or email us at hello@grasshopperstore.com

See you there!!

 

YBIKE Pewi

 

We had JUST put together a YBIKE Pewi when this little guy came in. We thought we would let him take it for a test drive....

This is the new Pewi from YBike.  It's part baby walker, part ride-on.  As a baby walker, the Pewi was designed to encourage body and space awareness that helps with balance and motor skill development.

 

He proved just how awesome it is as a foot to floor ride-on too!  The Pewi has wheels that go in all directions which makes it easy for your little one to maneuver in any direction.  You can use them outdoors and if you use them on hardwoods the rubber wheels won't leave a mark! We've got them in blue, pink, and red.  Perfect for ages 1-3.  Learn more about the Pewi here.

A great time for a great cause!

We're very excited about this event put on by Staver Locomotive in support of Friendly House!  A great way to indulge your little (or big) train fanatic, and support a very good cause. For information, visit Staver Locomotive's website.
