Reddit mentions of Zoku Classic Pop Molds, 6 Easy-release Popsicle Molds With Sticks and Drip-guards, BPA-free

I love my spiralizer. I also really like having my own Popsicle molds so I can make healthy/low cal frozen treats. I also drink black coffee and I've found that a french press and a hand-turn burr grinder (all the decent electric ones are hundreds of dollars and I'm too busy buying Halo Top to drop that kind of dough to save myself less than a minute each morning) make the best black coffee, plus they don't take up room on the counter top. You do have to grind your own beans with a french press and you have to use a burr grinder to get a course, consistent grind, which one of those electric things with a spinning blade can't provide.

Having a mandolin can be nice for thinly and evenly slicing veggies for baked chips and the like (mine is Oxo) but I would recommend buying one of those cut resistant glove things to use with it as the hand held thing that comes with the mandolin to slide food across is annoying as all hell, but I think that's a universal when it comes to mandolins.

I also love my food scale (again, Oxo). I have the one that weighs heavier weights at home and the little baby 5 lb limit one at work which is great because then I can measure out a serving of crackers, dip, whatever out of a larger container at work and I don't have to pre-measure everything at home and use a bunch of containers and then have to haul it all to and from work.

Have fun with the kiddos! Before I link my fun stuff, I'm going to recommend a couple practical things- like making sure there is nothing harmful within arms reach- maybe an under the sink cupboard with bleach, or other cleaning supplies- It may be good to move them before they come so you don't have to worry about it.

Now for the fun stuff!

I'm assuming they will come wiht their own, but just in case, some fun kitchen supplies will make meal time go a bit easier. Things like [sippy cups] (http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Click-Count-Sippy-ounce/dp/B006WHR6CU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1374775578&sr=8-8&keywords=sippy+cups), or other tableware, ( [here is a whole set!] (http://www.amazon.com/Ikea-Plastic-Flatware-Tumbler-Colorful/dp/B009PP5LGY/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1374775654&sr=1-2&keywords=kid+plates) including silverware, plates, bowls and cups!) . In any case, [spill proof cups] (http://www.amazon.com/The-First-Years-Spill-Colors/dp/B000096M59/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1374775578&sr=8-10&keywords=sippy+cups) would definitely be handy! Also, the older one may enjoy making yummy popsicles with you using [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Zoku-Slow-Pops-Classic-Molds/dp/B00CDL33Q2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1374775852&sr=8-2&keywords=popsicle+molds). I've seen them in dollar stores and they're super easy- freeze lemonade, or their favorite juice and it becomes dessert!

Also, check into getting some kid music to jam to. There are all kinds of free tracks on Amazon. Those will be fun for both the kiddos and make any car rides that much more enjoyable, or playing in the house. [Here] (http://www.amazon.com/12-Pack-Inflatable-Rock-Electric-Guitar/dp/B001H00156/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1374776046&sr=8-27&keywords=kid+music) is a completely unnecessary fun purchase to accompany that thought.

Another idea may include dress up. You don't have to have anything in particular- maybe an old pair of heels, a sheet for a cape, big necklaces, a wand or funny hat. That could be fun!

Bedtime stories! Do you have any children's books? Those are awesome for not only bedtime but down time. Also, coloring books, play doh, and puzzles are also good to keep them sitting down in one place for a while! ;)

You could also make puppets using markers and brown paper bags! If you have the grocery size, you can even make masks. This could also be as complicated as you want or as resources allow, using yarn for hair, googly eyes, and other materials.

The baby might be a bit trickier to entertain. How about fun bath toys? A mirror is also something that can hold attention for quite a while.

Back to the older kiddo, how about making your own instruments? I take old plastic drink containers (2 liter pop bottles, or juice jugs, or whatever) and fill them with all kinds of noise makers. Beads might be too dangerous to have around with teh little one, but pop can tabs, or pennies, or other objects that can fit, even paper clips, are lots of fun. Make sure to keep the lid so you can close it and shake it up and down! It's also fun to decorate the outsides with stickers.

Anyways, I hope you have a good time!

Edit: I thought I had read your post pretty carefully, but for some reason I was picturing the 2 year old as younger. Sorry for "baby" references. Here are some cute bath toys to make up for it! [so cute!] (http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Lazy-Buoys-Bathtub-Toys/dp/B004LWZZ76/ref=sr_1_11?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1374777262&sr=1-11&keywords=bath+toys)
