(Cleveland, OH) Stephanie Oppenheim of Oppenheim Toy Portfolio featured 3 Creativity for Kids kits in a segment on The Today Show July 19, 2007. The segment covered great craft activities for summer birthday parties. The 3 kits featured are all Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award winning products.

Quick & Easy Tie Dye Deluxe [$19.99, age 7 & up] is a no-mess way to do the fun activity of tie dying because the dye is in the ties. Wrap the colorful cords around a pillow case and mini t-shirt for a favorite plush animal, soak in warm water, and watch the colorful tie dye designs appear. You can also use the cords on other items you already have that are made of cotton.

Pirate products are everywhere, and Pirate Treasure and More [$17.99, age 5 & up] inspires pretend pirate play. Enjoy a chest full of pirate gear – eye patch, head scarf, gold coins, treasure map and more. The birthday party guests can search for buried treasure. Paint the chest with pirate designs to hold the bounty.

With a suggested retail price of only $5.99 the Make Your Own Pirate Ship [age 5 & up]is a great mini activity kit for a fun and quick creative activity for kids to do at a party with a pirate theme. Assemble the pirate ship then paint it anyway you like. Kids can take the ship home as a party favor.
