Baby Genius Discovery Puzzle Pack Review And Giveaway Ends 5/15(US/CAN)

Baby Genius is known for making great toys that are fun and educational at the same time. Using research linking music to improved language and social skills and increased memory, their philosophy is to incorporate music into toys as much as possible. Music gives young children the chance to express themselves creatively and socially, plus, as any parent knows, it makes for a much more captivating toy.

Also, all of the Baby Genius toys leave room for pretend play and imagination. The toys are perfect jumping off points for pretending and creating, making them fun for hours. They’re also perfect to play with others, both of the same age and with parents. Parents and children can have plenty of fun playing with the toys together: making up stories and songs, pretending and generally having a good, silly time.

The Baby Genius Discovery Puzzle Pack is no exception to this philosophy. They are a fun way to learn through puzzles, and will keep your children entertained for hours. Meant for ages two and up, this pack includes four beautifully painted different puzzles. All the puzzles include the cast of Baby Genius characters, but each one has a different theme. The first puzzle has all the letters from A to Z. As you pick up the letter pieces one by one, try guessing with your child what the picture underneath will be, and what other words are that start with the same letter. The second puzzle has numbers one through ten; perfect for practicing counting games. Count fingers, toes or household objects as you go through the puzzle. Third is a beautifully illustrated farm animal puzzle, for teaching animal sounds. It’s perfect for pretend play: pretend to be each farm animal and run around making cow, pig and sheep noises! Last is an under the sea puzzle, which has all kinds of sea creatures, waiting to be discovered. Have fun finding them and imagining what your life would be life if you lived underwater.

These puzzles will keep your child captivated for hours, whether alone, with friends or with a caregiver. They are sturdy to withstand lots of use, and come with a handy metal stand. The Baby Genius Discovery Puzzle Pack makes the perfect gift or toy for any adventurous, creative toddler and will be sure to hold their attention for hours.

Reading Glasses Shopper Review And Giveaway

It’s no fun to realize that we might need reading glasses–but it happens, even to the best of us. And sometimes shopping for reading glasses can be absolutely annoying. Nearly all stores carry them, but they’re usually not the best of quality and selections can be extremely limited.

At Reading Glasses Shopper this is never the case. Here, you can find a wonderful and wide assortment of reading glasses suitable for just about every degree of need and facial structure!

At Reading Glasses Shopper, providing quality customer service is their #1 commitment. Their customer service crew is professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and considerate. They pride themselves on their reliability, and any concerned consumer can check out their credentials directly from the site’s link to the Indianapolis Better Business Bureau.

A very important factor about Reading Glasses Shopper is that they work directly with eyeglass manufacturers, which allows them to offer exceptional quality at the best possible prices, which adds up to a substantial savings for the avid shopper of reading glasses.

The website is easy for even the novice online shopper to maneuver. They have an incomparable variety of brands, styles, and designs–most of which is ready to ship within 24 hours. They offer free shipping on orders over $30, no hassles returns, and a 100% money back guarantee. Presently, they are hosting a Spring Sale with everything at 15% off–which you should take advantage of!

I just got the “Seaside” style from Reading Glasses Shopper for review, which seems studious and playful–at the same time. I got it for my mom and she had so many compliments on these glasses. They have lenses that are a bit bigger than average, with thicker plastic frames. She loves them!

At Reading Glasses Shopper you can find all sorts of interesting links, as well as a blog. They also have “Weekly Giveaways”, along with a section called the “News Weekly Roundup” (which has a lot of relevant & fun eye information), and they are members of Facebook and Twitter too. There’s more to do than just shop on this wonderful website!

Hatley Girl’s Raincoat Review And Giveaway Ends 5/13 (US/CAN)

 

I recently went surfing on the web in search of a raincoat for my little one and stumbled upon a wonderful website called Hatley. Not only did I find an adorable raincoat, I actually found a website that could outfit one’s entire family! I was thrilled that I was sent one girl’s raincoat for review. When I received it, my daughter said “Wow”, yeah, it’s so cute. I wish I could have one for myself.

Though there were only three raincoats available for little girls now on their website, they were so darned darling that their limited selection didn’t bother me a bit. They reveal the most playful patterns and appear to be thoughtfully constructed with their soft cotton lining, designed for comfort, and their durable polyurethane shell, made for keeping out harsh elements. The prices are very comparable to most of the other raincoats that I’ve found elsewhere–other raincoats that I didn’t care for nearly as much!

The website, www.hatleystore.com is very user friendly. Unlike the limited raincoat selection, I found most of the site to have a very adequately stocked selection of clothing and accessories–all of which are entirely colorful and fun! The “Sale” section is nicely stocked as well with wonderful bargains!

I especially enjoyed learning about Hatley‘s “history” on the site. It’s a family owned and operated business that has been around for over two decades! There’s a wonderful story behind their “success” which all began with the mother’s artwork. When she displayed her work in a little gallery that they owned, her artwork flew right out the door. Delighted with her success (and her art) her husband decided to turn her paintings into print on fabric and started making aprons with it–which also flew out the door, setting things in motion for Hatley to become a full on clothing company. Be sure to read their “story” when you visit their site; it’s inspiring and heartwarming.

Every month at Hatley you can enter for a chance to win a pair of PJ’s simply by submitting a favorite photo of your little one! Check out www.hatleystore.com for more details–and for lots of playful attire!

WIN IT!

Hatley has generously offered to give one of Natural Baby Goods readers a $20 discount towards their next purchase!

Juppy Baby Walker Review And Giveaway Ends 5/11 (US/CAN)

Wow! Kudos to the creators of The Juppy Baby Walker! This divine training device will save mothers and fathers, the world over, from the excruciating back pain that comes along with endless hours of bending over to walk with your baby! Instead, you just slip your little one into the padded vest, hold up the straps, and voila! You’re off…

I was sent The Juppy Baby Walker for product review. Just in time. It was a perfect gift for my friend’s son’s 1 year old Birthday party. Someone who has just turned one–and who is so, so close to cruising! My friend was overjoyed with the gift and actually confessed to having been visiting a chiropractor for precisely this kind of back problem! Within minutes of opening The Juppy, it became the talk of the party. The actual gift opening process was even stopped cold as people began passing The Juppy back and forth, trying it out on their own children! I’m fairly certain that everyone there, with crawling age kids, ran home to purchase one–for the crazy affordable price of only $19.95!

I like the fabric and construction of the Juppy Baby Walker (though I’d personally prefer more color options). It’s very durable and has convenient adjustable straps to accommodate the “one size fits all” sizing, which is super great, as The Juppy can be shared with a variety of tots in one place–like at my friend‘s party! You can even have your Juppy customized with your little one’s name on it.

On the website, www.thejuppy.com, you can acquire all the pertinent information for this “Doctor Recommended” product. There you’ll also see that they offer a “100% Satisfaction Guarantee”. At present they are also offering a free tote with your Juppy, if you purchase it online. You just can’t go wrong with The Juppy Baby Walker!

WIN IT!

3 Bags Full Finger Puppet Pouches Review And Giveaway Ends 5/11 (US/CAN)

Three Bags Full Finger Puppet Pouches are so fun! We want to own all six sets! Each set consists of a handcrafted pouch with a hand painted scene on it and eight little handcrafted, colorful animal creatures inside! You can choose from six different themes, consisting of Arctic, Farm, Garden, Jungle, Ocean, and Woods. The pouch , with its hand painted scene, acts as a backdrop for any “show”, as the animals are easily attached to the pouch by a simple little snap. They are absolutely beautiful!

Every bag of puppets comes with an accompanying book list with suggested stories to use with your pouch. After receiving a pouch with farm theme for review, we actually plan on acquiring all of them…eventually. We have checked out some of the suggested story books from our local library, and after reading them, and acting the story out with the puppets just a few times over, I have actually caught my 23 month old daughter playing out the storyline with the puppets, all on her own–without me even reading! Three Bags Full Finger Puppets claim to be appropriate for ages 3 and up, but with proper supervision, my daughter and I both take great delight in these puppets! Sometimes I wonder who’s enjoying them more–me or my daughter?

These finger puppets are extraordinary little tools for use in any early education setting. When reading a story and acting it out with the finger puppets, my daughter’s attention span is tenfold. She hangs upon my every word and enjoys the interaction that the puppets inspire. She also absolutely LOVES using them while we sing songs! Her favorite is the farm set. She places the puppets across her little fingers and acts out the animal sounds while I sing “Old MacDonald”.

As a consumer who contemplates my each and every purchase these days, I find great comfort in purchasing products like these that enhance my family’s life–and the life of others simultaneously.

These delightful little sets are handcrafted and produced in Bolivia, by indigenous women who are preserving their cultural identity through the crafting of these traditional items that are reflective of their native cultures. The goods that these women generate are operated by a group of Bolivian Artisans called Ayni Bolivia, which prides itself on assisting women to acquire more self confidence and esteem by teaching them these handicraft skills, which in turn allows them to provide for their families needs.

Making ethical purchases is critical to the health and well being of our planet and its inhabitants. Buying Three Bags Full Finger Puppet Pouches assures a win-win situation for all!

WIN IT!

Indigenous Crafts from Bolivia is generously giving away one of Natural Baby Goods readers a choice of 3 bags full finger puppet pouches.

GuideCraft Creation Station Art Center Review And Giveaway Ends 5/23

We struggle to keep everything in balance, and if we don’t have any out-lets, we resort to unlikely habits. I am grateful that my mother did her very best to strengthen my creative side. As I grew older, I got engaged to different arts and crafts, from pottery, beading, cross-stitching, jewelry wire crafting and more. I am not claiming to be a domestic goddess like Martha, but I like her and understand her as well.

Two weeks ago I received this Creation Station Art Center for product evaluation. This educational art-package came from GuideCraft Company, Creators of Fine Educational Toys and Furniture. My daughter is almost 2 years old, I felt so overwhelmed when we got this Creation Station Art Center. I had a vision that my daughter is about to be the ‘mini-me’, on the other hand I just felt that I’m totally equipped to pass on the creative values that my mom taught me.

The Creation Station Art Center by GuideCraft is like a mini laboratory of creative minds, complete with easy-to grab crayon & brush bins, a practical storage for supplies. It has a folding rack, where a child can clip and let their artwork dry, 4 recessed paint cups and 2 recessed tool & brush trays which will stabilize the whole ‘art-session’. There’s also a safe and easy cutter for rolled paper, paper towel holder and 6 supply shelves this includes the 3 paper bins, and then of course, 2 stools.

The Creation Station Art Center by GuideCraft is like an all-in-one /multi-purpose artist’s desk. It’s the little version of architect’s drafting table. My daughter and I were so excited and so as my husband who insists to assemble the Creation Station Art Center. In no time, my child’s Creation Station Art Center is ready to use, and for I thank the ‘hero ‘of our home. Honestly, the assembling instruction is very easy, I can do it all by myself. It’s just so happened that we received the Creation Station Art Center by GuideCraft when my husband came back from work, where his handyman persona is unstoppable.

The first thing I did was I introduced the art materials to our child, and then my husband and daughter watched my ‘art-demo’. Finally, it was our daughter’s turn, my husband and I sat on the floor. We watched our child, as she held the brush lightly and drew her very first yellow flower. My daughter had a difficulty clipping her art-work on the drying rack. Her self-esteem was soaring that she doesn’t need my help, and then it frustrates her, so we practiced. In two days, she’s all set to clip her art work by herself.

We also bought her three bottles of paint in red, yellow and green. So she can pour just a right amount of paint into these 3 paint cups, the other extra cup for any combined colors, and then you can place these cups on the desk. You can place these three bottles of paint under the desk; mini-shelves are made for instant access to your child’s art supplies.

I find these two recessed tool and brush trays, very practical, my child had fun creating artworks without dropping her art-tools. The wholeness of this Creation Station Art Center by GuideCraft is magnificent, it has practical storages and “goes with the movement scheme” or ergonomics. This is an art station whereas as a mom, you’ll be inspired to collect art materials, because the Creation Station Art Center by GuideCraft is made to de-clutter the child’s art tools as well.

The desk got 4 holes, in which you’ll place these cups, the holes are meant to hold these paint cups steadily and it levels with the desk as well. The idea of having an easy-to-reach paper towel holder is very clever, by that my child learned to clean-up her little hands when she’s done with her ‘project’.

The easy to use cutter for rolled paper is very safe to use, as you see, through my demo my daughter learned how to use the tools, after that, she can have it her way. I felt secured because I really paid attention to every materials used in Creation Station Art Center, and by that I can assure you, this is an investment for your child’s creative exploration.

The 6 mini-shelves and the drawer are useful, I also see how my daughter is encouraged to place her art material after using it, and I’m proud to say that my daughter keeps her things very organized. Organizational skills are enhanced by the use of this Creation Station Art Center by GuideCraft.

In my opinion, this Creation Station Art Center by GuideCraft stimulates creativity and independence at the same time. I do support the expressions of creativity so much; I got to understand my daughter’s desires and imagination.

The overall packaging of the Creation Station Art Center by GuideCraft is inspiring, the appeal and color would make any child sit on the stool in an instant, and stay for hours, just like my kid. The quality and materials are superb. I saw how the paint dries out easily, as the brushes compliments the colors and the quality papers makes my child’s artwork extra special.

For over 40 years, GuideCraft never ceased to produce quality and unique playful furniture. That’s why I treasure my child’s Creation Art Center for it came from the best. One last thing, I got to accomplish more chores because of this Creation Art Center by GuideCraft. So if you want a win-win situation for you and your child, take a tour at www.guidecraft.com.

WIN IT!
