GIANTmicrobes Review

I bet you read the title to this post and though to yourself, GIANTmicrobes, what is that!? Well, I'm here to tell you!

GIANTmicrobes is a company that sells kid friendly products to help them learn about the nasty little bugs that make you sick! I can't even begin to name all of the products they sell! The list goes on and on!

For review, I received a food poisoning plushy and a vinyl doll names Bellie.

Both products were wonderful! Not only were they cute to look at (that sounds weird since they aren't very nice things!), but they really helped my boys learn about them! The food poisoning plushy looks like the actual 'bug'. It also came with a tag on it that gave a lot of interesting facts and information about food poisoning. My boys were very excited about what they learned!

Thr vinyl Bellie doll is for tummy aches. Kids and tummy aches, do not mix well! Bellie helps make having a stomach ache a little more fun!

The food poisoning plushy sells for only $8.95 and the vinyl Bellie doll sells for just $12.95. Any of these would make the perfect educational gift! My boys are at the age where they want to soak everything in like a sponge! I bet your kids will do the same once they see a GIANTmicrobe!

Myself Belts Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Belts, like shoe laces, can be a tricky thing for a little one to master. Trying to feed it through the loops and buckling it can be frustrating! Myself Belts makes it easy for them to do it all by themselves!

My 4 year old wears belts a lot. He's got a small waist and long legs. Therefore, most of his pants will fall off of him if he doesn't wear a belt. He loves to wear belts. I think it makes him feel more grown up. The problem is, is that he comes to me to buckle and unbuckle when he has to potty.

I can't put belts on him when he goes to school because he had to be independent and go to the bathroom by himself. So, I have to be careful what I dress him in for school. Now that he has his new belt from Myself Belts, that worry is gone.

I received the Guitar Belt for review. First of all, he was very excited to see the guitars! He loves to 'jam out' to my husbands rock music. He pretends he's Gene Simmons from KISS. No, I'm not joking!

The belt is super easy to use. On one end there is a snap. You snap that end of the belt to your child's left side around the belt loop. Then, you feed the belt around. Once you are back in the front, the belt Velcros closed. Done! So now, all I have to do it snap it on, and he does the rest!

No more worrying about how he's going to get it on and off. No more worrying about the clothes he wears to school. He is now independent and confident! That's what these belts are made to do, build self-esteem! They are functional, fashionable and fun to wear!

Myself Belts has a huge selection of boys belts, girls belts,  even belts for adults and teens! These would make the perfect gift for anyone! AND if you use the code COASTGUARD you will get 10% off all products on the site! Good through the month of November!

Gearing Up for the Holidays: Peaceable Kingdom Press Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Share

Little ones are so easy to buy for when it comes to the holidays. They are happy with everything they get! My boys get especially happy with games! I know I loved board games as a child! Still do!

Peaceable Kingdom Press has lots of games for little ones! I received the Milk & Cookies Spin & Go Board Game for review.

About the game:

Details:

• Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products of 2008
• Ages 4-8
• 2-4 players
• Plays in 15 or 30 minutes
• Little reading required
• $15.99

Includes:

• 48 tiles
• 1 game board
• 1 spinner
• 4 cookie jar markers
• Instructions for 2 levels of play
• Box measures 6.5" x 8" x 2.5"

Learning Skills:

• Visual and spatial reasoning
• Taking turns
• Counting and colors
• Challenge version offers strategic thinking

How to Play:

To start, players open the board and lay out the tiles in any random way, leaving the center space open. Each player chooses a cookie jar marker and places it in the center of the board. Spin the spinner, mover your marker and collect a tile. Get a milk carton, go again! Collect and replace tiles until one player wins! For a more challenging game, set up the board the same way, only each player chooses 1 or 2 types of cookies to collect. It's a more complex version for kids 6+ who are ready for a bit of a challenge and don't mind if their cookie crumbles!

Why families love this game:

This game makes your mouth water! It's easy to learn and simple to play. There is little reading required so it's perfect for the youngest gamers yet it has a built-in challenge version so the game ages with the children. This game teaches quick color recognition, helps children learn to count and see directional moves of play which helps develop their spatial and visual reasoning. Not to mention, the game pieces are hardy and feel good in your hand! Milk & Cookies makes a great gift!

I played the game with my 4 year old. He is supposed to be in Head Start right now, but they are still trying to get the program going. This game is perfect for me to help him learn while he is waiting to start school. It took him a few turns to get the hang of it. But, once he got it, there was no stopping him! He beat me 9 -16! I was very amazed, and very proud! 

He told me that he wants to play again and win again! He also wants to play with his older brother and teach him how to play! Oh, they grow up so fast! This game is a great learning game and I would recommend it!

Peaceable Kingdom Press sells many other games, as well as, stickers, gifts for toddlers, cards & stationary, and lost to do at the Kid's Corner! Got little ones at home? Want to give them some really neat gifts? Peaceable Kingdom Press can help you out!
