Vancouver has heaps to offer in the way of family entertainment, for visitors and city dwellers alike. But with the summer holidays upon us, when we’re in the city we’re constantly thinking of ways to entertain our little darlings.

Back in July of 2007 we covered the launch of dandelion KIDS’ new online store and now they’ve done it again and upgraded their site to make it more user-friendly and added heaps more products, almost everything they sell in store in fact.

When Babyeats launched last summer we were intrigued by the new concept combining a large play area with a small café serving local and organic food. Owner and mama-of-two, Rachel Dempster, has re-imagined things a little and now Babyeats is all grown up and has been rebranded as Munch, the Family Restaurant. Along with the new name comes a new menu, and it’s delicious and very grown up except for the kid-friendly options (of course!). And they’re licensed now too.

We’re taking a little break this week but we didn’t want to leave you without your yoyos, so we’ll be looking back at products and places we’ve previously discovered to see what they’ve been up to since we first covered them.
