Shop For Alex Creamy Crayons, Set of 12 plus brush


These crayons are so cool because the colors can be layered giving a depth that crayons cannot. I think I bought them too early; I should have waited until my youngest was at least five for them to truly be appreciated. You have to supervise while they play with these as the potential for messiness is amped up dramatically due to the consistency of the product. My recommendation age: 5 1/2 plus.Get more detail about Alex Creamy Crayons, Set of 12 plus brush.

Order Create Young Authors Bookmaking Project Kit


There is no doubt this is an excellent, lasting gift kids will "eventually" enjoy. It's obvious they will have to wait for the finish product and that's a good thing. I was a little unimpressed with the packaging as far as gift giving is concerned. It arrives in a plastic pouch and what you really get (to give) is a stack of blank paper and a paid receipt for binding.. This is a gift that has to be explained otherwise a young child might think he was cheated somehow. This shouldn't dissuade you at all but be prepared to spell out what is is and how it works. I ordered one to be shipped directly to the recipient and one to be hand delivered. I am a little nervous about the former. Although this is a great idea and will be treasured for years to come, it might be better to save this for a craft project.Get more detail about Create Young Authors Bookmaking Project Kit.

Purchase Dm Creations Art 101 173 Piece Wood Art Set


Everything falls apart when you open this seemingly nice looking set. Pastels are dreadful. Crayons have a very toxic odor. Watercolor have no color. Markers were Ok.
But you cannot close box without everythig falling out. Brushes were nice. Price seemed very good but even so it is a bad value.Get more detail about Dm Creations Art 101 173 Piece Wood Art Set.

Order Project Runway Fashion Design Projector Kit


My young cousin was delighted with this product. She is 10 years of age. It is very simple in design and not overly durable. However, I think for the money it is OK and if you are looking for a cute present for a budding designer of this age - get it.Get more detail about Project Runway Fashion Design Projector Kit.

Alex Toys Little Hands, Paper Bag Puppets Immediately


I bought this for my just turned 6 year old son and was worried he wouldn't like it. He LOVES it!!! He asked for a craft project and it was hard finding him something that wasn't too "girly". This kit is truly unisex and is really nicely made---everything in it is great quality and it comes with very easy to follow instructions to guide non-readers. He is able to make these puppets without any help from us and it's fun to see him have pride in his finished product. This is a wonderful kit to keep the kiddos busy and exercise their creative side. Now I can't wait for him to put on a puppet show for us!!Get more detail about Alex Toys Little Hands, Paper Bag Puppets.

Save Step2 Flip and Doodle Easel Desk with Stool


My 2 year old loves his easel, the stool doesn't get used all that much, there are plenty of buckets for storage and an area at the back in which to store a couple of books. It's also light enough to move around for cleanup. Delivery from the seller was very last minute we almost thought it wouldn't arrive on time for our sons birthday...Get more detail about Step2 Flip and Doodle Easel Desk with Stool.

Cheap My First Sticky Mosaics® Pretty Things


My 3 1/2 year old daughter LOVES the mosaics! She will happily and diligently work on a picture until it is complete, then reach for another one to start. The stickers are durable and do not tear, and the completed product is a sweet picture. She is completely independent, which is so important at this age, and so proud when each picture is complete. The mosaics are also great practice for hand-eye coordination.Get more detail about My First Sticky Mosaics® Pretty Things.

Buying Play - Doh Martian Matter Alien Lab Playset


My kids had the spaceship version a year ago. On my son's 6th birthday, he remembered playing this toy and this toy is what he wanted the most. This is the third set we bought. His 4-yr-old sister also love playing with him with this toy. Out of all the Alien Makers' kit, this is the most inexpensive that is a complete kit and not a refill.

This is one fun cool CREATIVE toy. This toy is not cheaply made but made of sturdy thick plastic. It has a plastic knife for dissecting and a plastic tweezer. In the middle is a small light table where you can place the aliens for examination; which explains why you need a battery. (You don't need the batteries to create the aliens, just strictly for lights and effects!)

You create the molds by pressing the aliens into the Meteor Mud (seems like a regular play-doh). Then you pour the Lunar lava into the mold. They love to combine colors to create colorful aliens. It will take around 5 minutes for the lunar lava to solidify into a gel. Make sure to cover the mold with a flat Meteor Mud or it will not set properly. No heat needed to set. Since the mold is made up of play-doh like material, it is very easy to remove the aliens. The stuff are non-toxic. Each bottle of lunar lava is 2 oz. There are 2 bottles included and you can makes a lot of aliens with them. This is a pretty nice gift for kids 5 years and above.

Minor Cons:

- Non toxic, but if you have allergy from wheat, this product contains wheat.Get more detail about Play - Doh Martian Matter Alien Lab Playset.

Buying Iwako Japanese Eraser Set - School Supplies


Just received it in the mail today.

It was VERY adorable! It comes with a pair of scissors, a stapler, a backpack, a little pouch, a pencil sharpener [the crank really rotates!], and slippers, because students in Japan wear them in school. Please note that these are all ERASERS!

Very cute ones, I'd like to add ;) I plan to show them off very soon. <3Get more detail about Iwako Japanese Eraser Set - School Supplies.

Lowest Price Fisher-Price Fun 2 Learn Color Flash Laptop


I bought this for my 1 year old so she's have her own computer and hopefully she'd stop playing with mine. It worked really well for its purpose, but I don't know how educational it'll be once she gets older. I looked through the activities a little and it didn't seem to offer much learning, but maybe I just need to take a closer look.Get more detail about Fisher-Price Fun 2 Learn Color Flash Laptop.
