Perfect for Playing in the Sand

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here


Summer is just around the corner and Sand box season has already begun. As a mom and grandmother I love sand and water toys, so finding this cute 7 piece seemed like the perfect gift for my grandchildren. Even though this toy will be for them to take home to enjoy I am feeling good about this item. It is made from flexible food grade polypropylene, is non toxic, and eco friendly. 

Over the 30 years of being a parent and child care giver I have seen many toys come and go in our home. Some had staying power and some were here just for a season, or gone in a very short time. We have many favorites that stood the test of time and we have even replaced once worn out because of how good they were. 

For sand toys for instance many times they start off all bright colored and end up fading to a muted color of their orginal self. This set has a sort of aged look to them that I really like. Of course I don't know for sure but I don't see these fading like other toys on the market, and I am excited to see how they fair over the years.

Making Ornaments



Every year we add a few more decorations to the tree, as well as buying a decoration for each child to add to their own set that they will have when they move out on their own someday. 

Some of the older children have already taken their ornaments with them and are already adding to theirs each year on their own. I hope they will continue the tradition with their own children.

This year the girls made ornaments down at the Library and we have a set to make here at home. I am going to sit down and make this Nutcracker Guard. This particular ornament reminds me of my oldest and first born who fell in love with the nutcracker over 26 years ago. I can't wait to see what it looks like on our tree.


I love that this set comes with almost everything you need to make this nutcracker ornament. You will need to just use just a bit of glue to adhere the mustache and beard to the nutcracker as well as a piece of ribbon to thread through the eyelet on the top of hat so you can hang it your tree or in a window. This is great for both children or adults. This would be a nice family craft as there are several different designs available from Master Pieces here or you can get the exact one I have here which is the Guard. There are even full size Nutcrackers and other Holiday Crafts here . Master Pieces has many different Games, Puzzles, and Gifts to choose from.

The Floor is Lava




 In our family we love when new games come to our attention and this game is no exception to the rule. This games get everyone moving and grooving because The Floor is Lava.

Each player has to keep moving from tile to tile to keep from melting in the lava but watch out if you land on a question mark you will have to also do a little extra something while trying to keep steady on your stone to keep from melting in the lava and being taken out of the game.

My daughter played this at her Birthday Party and you can see that she had a ball. You can see just how much she and my grand daughter had fun by the smiles on their faces.

Easy to set up just place the 25 tiles around on the floor inside or outside on the ground, gather your players, yell out the floor is lava, and start playing. The directions are easy to follow.

Check out The Floor is Lava and other games by Endless Games below.

Protect That Noggin



As a mom when my children go out to play I like them to be safe as well as prepared for what lies ahead. With skating there will be falls, scrapes, and maybe even breaks. So far the latter has not happened. Being prepared for these things means as a mom you outfit your child with Helmet, and Pads. It was really a no brainier for me. I can't promise she will always wear them. Kids are kids, but I can have them available to her, while encouraging her to use them each time she goes out. 

I was able to find a really nice set from Jifar while looking for skates for my daughter. The set comes in several colors black, blue, and pink. Everything came in a really nice bag for storage which is nice when you are trying to keep things organized when not in use and easy to find when you need it.


We chose the set in pink as it was closest to my daughters favorite color purple. The helmet has a matte finish so you can paint, decorate, or leave plain. You get the helmet, knee, elbow, and wrist pads plus the bag. The pads fit my daughter but just barely where the helmet has plenty of room for growth. The helmet is easy to adjust which is just what I like. Some helmets are so hard to fit to your child's head.


I love that once we adjusted the helmet and showed my daughter how to use the pads she was able to get ready to use her skates without help. As a reminder please make sure you check your child's helmet often for fit as well as wear and tear.

The Jifar Helmet and pad set can be found below.

Kids in the Kitchen




We have had many children go through our home. It doesn't matter if they have been male or female each have enjoyed making pretend meals with kid sized kitchen gear. This set has a little bit of everything to make a great pretend chef. 

Even though my children are older the youngest still like to play pretend from time to time. Yes they know their way around the real kitchen but they are still imaginative to play pretend with their nieces. 

This is a great set which you can find out more about in the video below.

Word Rush



Recently our family was able to try out a new board game from Tactic called Word Rush. I thought it was going to be too hard for my 10 year old to play with us but it was much easier then I expected. After setting up the board as instructed, the first player flips over the sand timer as well as a category card and answers the card with one of the letters showing on the board. It has to be the first letter and has to fit the category. Once they are done they flip the timer over and set it on the letter they used and the next person tries to beat the first players time. If they don't they move ahead one spot on the game board. 

The last person to NOT reach OUT is the Winner. This game is recommended from 2-6 players, ages 8 and up and considered a family game, which is right up our alley. Lots of fun for family or a fun game night with friends. 

What Tactic has to say about Word Rush

The Rush is On for Tactic Game's new WORD RUSH game.
Think of a word before time runs out.
In this new fast paced, quick thinking game, place nine letter cards on the game board, turn a category card and set the timer in motion! Players think fast to come up with words that start with one of the letter cards AND match the category for that round The sand timer is flipped with every new word, so you'll need to hurry up before the time runs out, or you can wait and make the next player have even less time. Strategy of answering starts to get more intense as the sand timer can be flipped fast or slower.
The simple game play and clear rules make Word Rush an instant classic!
The sand timer makes sure that the players have to stay on their toes. Word Rush will keep you guessing in a fun flurry of letters and words!.

Word Rush can be found on Amazon and many other sites.

Rally Roll

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  



Are you looking for a cool new game to play that can be taken on vacation and takes up pretty much no room? Then this game from Blue Orange Games might be a good one to get. It comes with a travel bag to store the dice and directions in between play. This is great for on the go fun, vacations, game nights, sleep overs, etc. Think camp where electronic devices are not allowed. 

Easy to play, slotted for ages 8 plus. You just roll and decide if you want to risk it all and roll again or pass. I can see over time our family modifying the game a bit too. The only downside is that it is such a small game that we actually misplaced ours but I know we will find it sooner or later and when we do I will post better pictures of it played in action.

Christmas Dolls


* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  



I know many of you may thing Christmas is far off but these dolls are so darn cute I had to share them with you right away. There are 12 in all no doubles all dressed for the Holidays. Each doll has cute pink shoes and stands 7 inches tall. They do have a ring on them so you can hang them from a tree, gift bag, or use as a key chain which we would never do but they are super cute. The outfits are glued on so the outfits can't be changed but that doesn't stop my daughter and grand daughter from having fun with these little cuties. 

I happen to think these would make a great little package topper for that extra special gift. You could also use these as stocking stuffers or even party favors. It is never to early to put things away for gift giving fun. 

These Christmas dolls can be found on my affiliate link below.

Orgalif Heavy Duty Folding Step Stool

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  



This little step stool from Orgalif is amazing. Not only does it come in three colors check them out below but it holds up to 350 pounds which is great. It also folds flat for storage which is great if you have small spaces but need something like this stool in your life. Great for getting things out of tall cupboards, cleaning cobwebs, or for the little ones who can't quite reach the sink or see into the mirror. 

I do suggest making sure who ever uses this makes sure that it is locked into place before stepping onto it as it won't stand up to the weight unless it is locked. Personally I would like to see this made in red with white dots but for now I am very happy with how this little stool has helped out so much around the home.

Glow Planets and Stars Supernova





Have a child who loves planets or one who needs a little light to get them off to slumber? You might want to check these out. I love this set although I think it could have been better with a sun and moon for a complete look. This is a great set for learning or just decorating a room with. There are 40 stars and 8 planets. There is also an included book so that you can read about each planet.

I love that this set also includes little pieces of poster putty so that you can hang these on your walls or ceilings without harming them. Great for renters, classrrooms, or frequent decorators who like to change things up.


The Glow Planets and Stars Supernova set can be found on Amazon.


What Addie and Emma's have to say about their product.

Glow Planets and Stars have never been so bright. 
We set out to create the best glow-in-the-dark stuff in the world. You can now have glow planets and stars that glow brighter, last longer, and are easier to hang up and take down. Our glow stars are substantial and high-quality, measuring 1mm thick.
8 Glow Planets: 1" Pluto, 1.5" Mercury, 1.5" Mars, 2.25" Venus, 3" Earth, 4.5" Neptune, 4.8" Uranus, 6" Saturn, 6.6 Jupiter. Also included are 40 glow stars: 20 x 1", 15 x 1.5", and 5 x 2.5".

How do glow stars work? 
Glow-in-the-dark products have something called phosphors in them. These phosphors come in many varieties. They're energized somehow, store this energy, and radiate light as a result. Glow-in-the-dark stars use a type of phosphor that is energized using light. It stores this light and slowly shines this light back as a 'glow.'

What makes Glow Stars Supernova stars work specifically? 
Our glow in the dark stars are made with Europium doped Strontium Aluminate (SrAl2O4:Eu.Dy.M). This is the brightest and longest lasting photoluminescent substance available. Strontium Aluminate also has the advantage of being odorless, biologically and chemically inert. This means it is non-toxic and safe.

Why are Glow Stars Supernova stars better than the rest? 
Typically high-quality glow stars are made with a mixture of this glow powder and plastic. Normally 10-15% of the mixture is the glow powder.

Our proprietary glow formula safely includes 30%. Twice as much glow powder as the others! The result is brighter and longer lasting glow-in-the-dark stars.Are these glow stars safe? They are so BRIGHT! 
Our Glow Stars Supernova have been independently tested and verified. Testing is conducted by a laboratory accredited by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This guarantees that the best glow-in-the-dark stars in the world, are also 100% safe.

Molkky




Our family loves to play games but our outside games are on the skimpy side so we jump at the chance to add more games there when we can. Our last new game was bocce from my sister and this time we were able to try out Molkky thanks to Tactic toys.

This is an easy game to play once you get used to is. when your first start out you will set it up as shown on box. The striker is thrown underhand to knock over pins. You only count the pins that have fully fallen over. o leaning on striker or other pins. You count what has fallen over then stand up the pin where it fell over for the next person's turn. You continue this way till someone reaches 50 points on the dot. As in if you have 48 points and get another 4 points you are over 50 and go back to 25 points.
th
For our children I play who ever gets closest to 50 first wins to keep it simple for them. This is a great game to be played alone for practice or with 2 or more. Great for family get togethers, gift giving, picnics, vacation, etc.

Molkky can be found on Amazon.


What Tactic has to say about their product.

Easy to play, just arrange the pins, number 1 through 12, in a formation and throw the Molkky skittle pin to try to knock down some pins. To win the game, players try to knock down a total of 50 points worth of pins. More competitive rounds can be played by trying to score exactly 50 points. If players go over 50, then they go back to 25 points and try again to reach 50 exactly. The first player or team to 50 exactly wins. Mölkky is an updated version of an old Scandinavian "throwing game" called Kyykkä that has been around for hundreds of years. Without age or fitness restrictions, and suitable to most outdoor spaces, Molkky is an easy, go-to game on any day. All over the world, Mölkky is enjoyed for its casual, easy game play, as well as in serious, top tournaments and championship competitions. Some of the most decorated and celebrated Mölkky competitions have been held since 1997 in Finland. An annual Australian Mölkky Championship has been held since 2010 and several Mölkky association have been founded, including Finnish International Mölkky Association, Slovak Mölkky Association, French Mölkky Association, Japan Mölkky Association, Czech Molkky Association, and Sweden Molkky Association. The history of Mölkky is available on Wikipedia.
