2011 Holiday Gift Guide – Little Kids No-Spill Bubble Toys Review

Taking care of our little kids can be a little messy most especially if they are in their toddler years. They run around, spill things anywhere and touch anything they can grasp. Though they are too active, these things are part of their growing up years. And it is our job as moms to continually guide them and provide them with the right things for them to develop normally. Growing up should be fun as well so as much as possible we give them right nutrition, ample playtime and of course the chance to experience things through their curiosity.

Playing with bubbles is one of my daughter’s favorite outdoor activities. We had our Cuba trip recently and we brought some toys for the kids to enjoy during our travelling. My Daughter brought along her Little Kids No Spill Bubble Tumbler, Squeeze ‘n Blow up Pop-up bubbles and Big Bubble Bucket. My daughter and her cousin really enjoyed making bubbles with these little kids’ bubble sets.

One of her favorites is the No Spill tumbler because no matter what she does with it, knock it over, turn it upside down or even drop it, still it has no spill! It has a durable, innovative a patented design which ensures that bubble spills are eliminated. They also enjoyed the no spill big bubble bucket because all of them can play and enjoy making bubbles! The bucket also has a wide base for an improved stability so no matter how active they can be still you won’t get a messy place. It has a twist open top for easy filling and easy-to-carry handle that is why we were able to bring it along because it is portable and handy.

My niece really enjoyed blowing bubbles with the Squeeze n’ blow. This is a bubble magic which she can simply squeeze the bottle and blow.

There play dates in Cuba was a sure fun with Little Kids no spill bubble toys. My daughter and her cousin enjoyed the different sets of No Spill Bubble toys. They enjoyed the no-spill features and also the different colors that they can exchange with each other. Try this No Spill sets too, surely your kids will have fun making bubbles without the spill!

As parents, we ought to be a role model to our children and we should also try to continuously provide our kiddos nothing but the best in anything.

She loves books too and we started from simple books and gradually try out new ones.

A very interesting book tells a story about a prince who refuses to go to sleep! This rhyming bedtime adventure is my best friend every time I put my daughter to sleep! It also comes with a CD edition which we can listen anytime she would like to divert from the usual.

2011 Holiday Gift Guide – See Kai Run Mara Boots Review and Giveaway

I am a great fan to those tiny little toes as much as to those tiny little shoes. I can’t help wanting to buy my kid shoe after shoe whenever I see adorable ones that looks mighty pretty with her get up’s. But it’s not always a good buy when you are out trying. Sometimes they wouldn’t want to wear it again because it did not satisfy them. I feel you…because it happened to me too. UNTIL I HEARD SEE KAI RUN.

See Kai Run has been with my little one every step of the way. I am most impressed that they have given it much thought and made it easier for me to know which is best for my kid with their See Kai Run categories (Smaller, original See Kai Run, and Eleven). I remember the milestone of having the soft soled shoes from Smaller line for my learning-to-walk wee one when she was still mostly crawling, and has progressed to the original See Kai Run line which offers the traditional soles for walking pre-schoolers up to grade schoolers.

They not only passed the standards of the American Podiatric Medical Association for all the qualities it present, more so my standards for my most precious little one. A thumbs-up for the softness thus the comfort it provides for those ultra sensitive feet. See Kai Run are also known for its lightness and flexibility. They make running safe for providing the right balance, the infinitely comfortable feeling that do not interrupt fun play the same way with the proper and continuous feet development. I am definite that there will be no calluses or skin tears that needs mommy’s undivided attention.

I knew my daughter would love this grey Mara boots with multi color flowers when I had a chance to review see kai run shoes. As I expected, she is especially thrilled with the adjustable hook and loop closures because she can easily put her shoes on and off on her own. She confirmed that it truly is soft and comfortable when I asked her.

The leather uppers are soft but looks durable just as her previous ones were. Actually have been passed down to my friends’ kids. And like me, they hasve only good things to say. There are comments on breathable leather lining, with the cushioned insoles, wonderful style…and so on and so forth.

See Kai Run is truly pleasing to the kids wearing them and to the mommies scrutinizing everything for their precious little ones. See for yourselves!!!

Cascades Boutique Review

Do you have a special place in your house where you go to retreat from the daily grind? I think having a place of your own is so essential to my sanity–even if it is only a 5-minute bathroom break where i can close the door and read before my girls come knocking.  

Since it’s important to me, I am sure it’s also important to my girls to have a place of their own–to have their own domain that is only theirs without me telling them what they can and cannot do with it. I finally found one of the greatest cardboard houses on the market–the Children’s Cardboard Playhouse from Cascades Boutique. At $48, you seriously cannot beat the price or the quality of this house. 

 

We received this awesome playhouse from Cascades Boutique to review about 6-weeks ago and it has become my girls’ sanctuary and haven when they need a break from one another, me, or a crying newborn sister. They’ve decorated the sturdy walls with their crayon drawings and delivered mail to each other in the sweet little mailbox. They’ve invited visitors into their house through one door and escorted them out through the other side. They’ve even attempted to catapult themselves, their baby dolls, and their stuffed animals through the windows and skylights (not recommended). Thankfully, though, all the corners are rounded (not sharp and pointy) which makes rough play safer! All in all, this cardboard house has been well played with and you’d never even know because of its durability and incredible quality.

 

What else you wouldn’t know is how incredibly easy it is to set this playhouse up–from start to finish it took me no more than 11 minutes (yes, i timed it) and that was with two very eager girls trying to “help” me. The instructions are clear and the cardboard is easy to manipulate into the folds and shapes it was designed for. 

 

I love that this playhouse is made by a small Canadian company that strives to be eco-friendly, too. It is entirely made of recycled corrugated cardboard–no additional trees were destroyed in the making of this product! My girls and I have absolutely no complaints and can only rave about how great this playhouse is! We hope you’ll play in your own one soon!

2011 Holiday Gift Guide – Redakai Championship Tin by Spin Master

Spin Master has been known to produce great toys for boys and Redakai Championship Tin is no exception!

Redakai has that distinct anime feel that little boys will surely love. The Championship Tin includes 3-D cards that animates when you stack them up during the play. When I had a chance to receive this game, I thought it would be a surprise gift to my nephew. Now he can’t stop talking about how cool his cards are.

It was easy to track power upgrades, damages and character status when playing because the cards seem to do all the work. When I first saw it, I hardly have any idea how it’s played and when my nephew asked me to practice game with him, I always ended up losing!

The basic concept of the game I discovered is that one should try to destroy the character held by his opponent. There are two versions of the game, the basic and then the advanced versions.

I only tried to play basic games with him where we both start with 1 character each. Once your turn comes, you have to take a card from your deck and play. The monster cards are played with your character to enhance defenses as well as heal damages from attacks, which you play against your opponent’s characters. Each character can have 3 different colors for its defense. If the opponent’s attack is more powerful than your character defense in the specific attack color, then your character will be hit and damaged.

Redakai cards that come with the Redakai Championship Tin are transparent and maybe stacked on top during a play. The health status of the character is shown on the three damaged zones on the right side of the card. When all zones become red during attacks on the play, then it will be eliminated. However, attacks can also cover and remove a defense and monsters can enhance defenses and cover-up red damages with yellow ones to heal the character.

Redakai Championship Tin set includes an introduction, game guide as well as a glossary of terms which is a great help when you start playing. You also get 43 cards, 3 Character bays, a card screen with Kairu counter and a draw deck. You don’t have to worry about tearing and wearing of the cards as well because they’re made from hard plastic – just right for the destructive hands of our little monsters. This is a genuinely fun card game that will take your little boys off the computers and game consoles for a change and have them interacting with other kids and people!

Buy Redakai Championship Tin!

2011 Holiday Gift Guide – B. Toys

Today’s kids need not just mere toys which can provide temporary bliss. We as parents should be responsible enough in ensuring that anything they play with will provide a positive outcome too especially in their growing up years. They should be provided with fun yet educational stuffs to make them aware of the things that they should be learning while growing up. Toddlers are filled with curiosity and educational toys can help them develop their skills and knowledge through imagination and motor skills. We should expose our kids to effective toys to help them adjust in their growing up years.

As a full pledged mommy, I wouldn’t take any chances in anything that I give to my kid because anything that is exposed to her can render a chance of her actually learning from it and later on simulating it. That is why; i am very meticulous in choosing the right toys for her. I carefully review the functions of the toys she might like and then i consider if it can provide her fun and positive learning. Safety is also an utmost concern for me as well as quality and affordability.

Bristle Block Spinaroos by B. Toys is one of which passed my standards. I got fascinated with the authenticity and functionality of such toy. By glance, it is so interesting and inviting. Even my daughter got so excited to spin and check out the interesting faces. This kidde toy is perfect for toddlers who are dealing with so much curiosity about things. This Bristle block goes round and round and the playing continues even without someone spinning it. It has very interesting faces of cool toys in different colors. Plus it has twisty bases which makes it easily movable and can be played with fun and enjoyment. Your kids can disassemble it then reconnect it back again without a hassle. It comes with a very nice booklet which my daughter is so fond of! She loves trying out the suggested building strategies on her own.

Also, i love the attractive and reusable bin which I can use for storage for her toys! The entire toy package has about 75 pieces in total and that is a handful! What makes me so proud about this product too is that this had been awarded as the winner of creative child 2010 preferred choice award! This only speaks of its quality, beauty and of course usefulness.

Another fascinating educational toy that I received is the Toulouse LapTrec which is also ideal for toddlers from 2 years up until 5 years of age. This is a magnetic sketch board and is a medium for fun and learning! Anything written can be erased easily by just pulling the knob. My daughter loves the pillow beanbag lap desk which makes her playtime more fun. There is also the really cute pencil which stays in cubby when not in use so i need not worry on losing it. I love its build in handle which makes this art material handy!

I definitely suggest you get you kids a Bristle Block Spinaroos pack and Toulouse LapTrec too. Make them say goodbye to boring Saturdays and say hello to and educational playtime!
