I’m a compensated member of the Netflix Stream Team.
Everyone has their ‘yin’ to their ‘yang,’ their ‘cream’ to their ‘coffee,’ and their ‘peas’ to their ‘carrots.’ Who is that person for you? Is it your mother, your sister, your best friend, or daughter?
My 7yo daughter recently bought BFF necklaces for one of her friends. My 10yo has Skype dates with his BFF back in San Antonio while he plays soccer at lunch with one of his new, inseparable friends here in NC. My 6yo still asks when we’re moving back to San Antonio so he can play with his neighbor BFF there, but he’s met some great new friends at school and just experienced his first sleepover last night (OMG!)
It does my heart good to see them making these meaningful friendships. I remember my childhood friendships at these ages, and love reliving my childhood through their eyes though their experiences.
In anticipation of your child’s next playdate, why not show him or her these fantastic Dynamic Duos on Netflix for little kids:

Vegetable Stamps
While you’re prepping Friendsgiving dinner, give the kids a few extra veggies, paint and paper to see what fun designs they can make. Click here to learn how to make your own veggie stamps, including instructions for making our favorite veggie friends, Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber.
Cucumber Rolls with Veggie(Tales) Cream Cheese
Celebrate the launch of VeggieTales (or just enjoy a pre-Friendsgiving snack) with cucumber roll-ups stuffed with veggie cream cheese. Anything can go into cucumber rolls, but for this version we’re sticking to sun-dried tomatoes for Bob the Tomato, a celery stalk for Frankencelery and baby carrots for Laura Carrot.
