#didyouknow

We're all about critters here at Lewie and Berg so we'll be sharing some facts on critters that you may (but probably don't) already know! 🤓 View the website for toddler gift ideas that are as unique and special as your little one(s)!

Because our first ever #didyouknow blog launched around Easter..well, what else could this #didyouknow be about? Ducks of course!! 🦆

Marigold is one of our newest critter addition. She is currently available and will be lovingly made and shipped out to join your household coop! Forget about the candy and treats...Marigold is going to steal the spotlight every Easter and special birthday for your duck obsessed kiddo!!

Grab your littles and read them these facts on ducks. Get their thoughts on each fact! This is a great way to engage them in conversation and spark their curiosity.

Bonus activity for your littles: have them tell you a critter story using one of the facts below!

Ducks can take up to 28 days to hatch.

Female ducks have dull brown feathers & male ducks have bright colored feathers.

“Males use their colorful plumage to attract females. However, they will lose their colorful feathers when females are busy hatching the eggs” -animalcorner.com.

The oldest duck on record lived to be 27 years old!

The more daylight, the more eggs a duck will produce. 🌞=🐣

Ducks can see nearly a 340 degree field of vision. They also have 3 eyelids, and see in color!

Ducks can sense threats to their environment in under a second!

Duck quacks echo!

So which fact was your little's favorite? I'm sure Marigold's favorite fact is that there's a chance she's going to get adopted real soon and have a forever best friend!! 🤗

5 Facts About Giraffes

5 Super Cool Giraffe Facts to Share With Your Kiddos

1. When a female giraffe gives birth, their baby falls about 5 FEET to the ground!!

2. Its age can be identified by the spots. Darker spots mean that it's an older giraffe. That means Ivan is a young one!

3. Giraffes in the wild are almost exclusively found on the continent of Africa. But, in America, you are likely to find a few roaming the zoo. Have you seen one in person??

4. Giraffes are social animals and love to travel in groups. A group of giraffes is called a tower!

5. Wild giraffes live about 25 years, and another interesting fact, that giraffes in the zoo tend to live for 40 years!

I always love these fun critter facts, thanks for joining me for this round of #themoreyouknow

Did you grab your Ivan yet? What are you waiting for!

Meet the Maker

Hello there, welcome to my little space for all things Lewie & Berg Littles, vintage, decorating, remodeling... well you get the idea, a space to share my life! I thought a great way to get this started was to share 10 facts about me, the designer, and solo maker of all the adorable critters you see here.

1. I did not learn to crochet as a child like most folks. I actually didn't learn until my husband gifted me one class for my 29th birthday.

2. I am an avid thrifter, I caught the bug at age 15, it all started with funny used t-shirts.

3. I think I was created to create, and I turn my hobbies into businesses, every time! I suppose you could say I was born an entrepreneur, too!

4. I met my husband on a dating website.

5. I love a good cheeseburger.

6. Naps are glorious.

7. My favorite season is Fall.

8. I was homeschooled during high school, and I dabbled in an art college but decided it wasn't for me.

9. I had both my babies via c-section.

10. We are in the process of remodeling our 1960's house, debt-free, a.k.a very slowly!!
