The secret is out. Powder Pouch® makes removing sand from feet and all your parts easy and comfortable. Parents can now wipe away sand without taking a layer of dermis with it. No one knows more about removing sand from skin than Olympic Beach volleyball champion, Misty May-Treanor. “Powder Pouch works so well, I now use it whenever I hit the court,” she says. Powder Pouch® is a soft, cotton pouch that holds powder. When you wipe sandy skin with the powdery cotton pouch, sand easily falls away. It comes with a carrying case to contain powder when not in use, and is washable and reusable. Powder pouch comes pre-filled. Order yours at www.powderpouch.com and leave the sand on the beach™.

Do you have a little fashionista at home waiting for a creative outlet? Our SOS (Summer of Style) workshops allow kids to create something that will brighten their day. Stitch by Stitch children cut and sew their very own garment. In our Fashion Flair workshop, kids create an eye-catching portfolio by designing a collection and creating fashion illustrations. The ultimate designer for the day experience is a Bash-n-Fashion birthday, which includes designing, making a fashion piece and topping it off with a show. I For Fashion can also add extra flair to off-site children’s events with an Inside Out Workshop. Whether kids are looking to add sizzle to their wardrobe or just want to create something cool, I for Fashion is the perfect getaway.

Old Westbury Gardens

71 Old Westbury Rd., Old Westbury

At first glance, Old Westbury Gardens may seem a little imposing to children. But it’s actually wonderfully family-friendly. Westbury house was very much a home and the 200 acres surrounding it were a playground for the four children who lived in this beautiful place early last century. Modern-day children often treat the grounds as an extension of their own backyard: playing hide-and-seek among the majestic weeping beech trees, hiking the winding trails, attending the many family events, playing in the log cabins, and literally taking time out to smell the flowers. Kids are always fully occupied here, without any electronic devices at all . . . and they’re never bored. Old Westbury Gardens is the perfect place for family fun this summer.
