With a personal computer and an internet connection, it is possible for you to let them choose colourful garments from online stores without having to leave the house. T-shirts are a favourite with many youngsters and come in a variety of attractive designs. Bedtime stories have long been a popular way to encourage children to go to their room when it is time to sleep and as well as the many fairytales that can be bought in high street shops there are a wide choice of stories that can be read on the internet or downloaded. Childrens books online are often more interactive than hard copies that can be bought in bookshops, making them more entertaining for younger kids.

Some of them allow you to create an avatar that will feature in the illustrations that accompany the book. Although there are lots of t-shirts with colourful designs that are available off the rack, it is also quite easy to send an internet retailer your own illustration and have it printed onto a shirt as a special gift for your kids. If they are keen artists themselves then you could even use something that they have drawn themselves, for this purpose.
