Winter fun should include cuddly pets and fascinating critters! Due to popular demand, Wallis Annenberg PetSpace is offering a special winter edition of its PetSpace Kids Camp Online. This three-day experience is designed for children ages 8-11 and offers an engaging exploration of the human-animal bond. Campers will learn all about pet adoption, veterinary care, animal behavior, and much more, all from the comfort of a virtual experience at home.

Between December 28 and 30, campers can discover training techniques and receive a behind-the-scenes tour of our Health Center, where adoptable animals receive care before finding their forever homes. Kids will go crazy for Critter Corner, a new area featuring small companion animals that gives an inside look at how potential adoptable pets can include snakes, turtles, birds, and rabbits. Finally, no camp session is complete without the opportunity to witness a mutt makeover in the Groom Room, followed by a virtual photo session. Each camper also receives a camper packet, including t-shirt, crafts, and more.

Space is limited for this exciting session of PetSpace Kids Winter Camp Online and makes a great holiday gift for the young pet-lover in your life too! Learn more and register now: www.petspacecamp.org

SVOLTA – style-centric kids scooters in gender neutral colors

When designing SVOLTA scooters, the team essentially made scooters they (adults) wanted to ride, but in kid sizes. They opted for premium materials, so the construction is solid and sturdy. The scooters ride smoothly and have a variety of added style details like matte satin finishes, champagne gold accents and lightning bolt patterns.

They have different scooters for little ones (Ace, the 2-in-1 sit and stand convertible), toddlers+ (Mega, 3-wheel scooter) and bigger kids (Legend, 2-wheel kick scooter).

If you’re looking for that gift with the “wow factor” this holiday season, SVOLTA scooters have been known to turn heads and elicit ginormous smiles!
