Two weeks ago, I was sent a Glow in the Dark Slime Science Kit by Discover with Dr. Cool to try out and review. The kit comes with everything thing you need to create to different colors of slime; one green & one blue…both of which glow in the dark. It also comes with a bonus activity booklet with games & puzzles as well. My daughter thought that this was the coolest thing ever, and was chomping at the bit to mix of the slime from the moment it arrived in the mail. To mix it up, you … [Read more...]
Product Review – Delta Kite with Tail
June 25, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Two weeks back, I was sent a large Delta Kite with Tail from Get Childish to try out and review. The kite is 180 x 90 cm and made of nylon & resin. The kite was a lot bigger that I first thought it would be. It arrived in a long box & my husband thought that I had ordered a fishing rod or something. The kite comes folded up in a carrying bag with the main poles already in place. All you need to do to assemble it is to put the cross pole in place and attach the string. When fully … [Read more...]

Last month, I was asked to take a look at PrivateIslandParty.com & pick out a few accessories to try out. The site offers an assortment of party supplies, novelty items, and accessories. Many of the items are available in bulk, like hats, wigs & capes. After looking through everything, I picked out a black cape, fishnet gloves, and a child’s superhero cape. After placing my order with the site rep, she called me to let me know that the superhero cape was out of stock and that … [Read more...]

The kit encourages your children to go outside and play while having fun. This was Hannah’s first experience with sidewalk chalk. She picked out one of the pink pieces. Due to the horrible heat wave, she had to play with everything on the porch so she was out of the sun and I could easily get her in … [Read more...]
Product Review – Linking Loops Mini Bead Maze
July 28, 2011 by 1 Comment
A few weeks ago, I unexpectedly received a package from Educational Toys Planet. It was a Linking Loops Mini Bead Maze for review. The bead maze is rated for 2 and over, and comes with an activity sheet. The maze itself consists of two wires firmly attached to a solid wood base: one twisted in an elaborate spiral and loops & the other in simple hills. It's relatively compact at 9 x 7.5 x 4.25 inches. Now, normally I would have the review written and posted within a week or so at the … [Read more...]
Product Review – Fisher-Price Precious Planet Crib-to-Floor Mirror
February 24, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I'd been looking for any sort of mirror or activity station to attach to Hannah's crib...so she would stop trying to chew her way out. I didn't want anything overly huge or bulky, but wasn't too sure what to get. Eventually, I ran across this at Wal-Mart. Hannah immediately saw it and was all but lunging out of the shopping cart trying to get it off the shelf. I figured it was worth a try since Hannah seemed to be really taken with it. Attaching it to the side of the crib is easy. It … [Read more...]
