Never to old to color



I have done quite a few reviews for both Tali Carmi and for other Adult coloring books. I love to read Tali Carmi's books to my smaller children and grandchildren while my older children and myself can enjoy Tali Carmi's talent in a new way. Through Adult Coloring Books which are growing in  popularity. Matter of fact while shopping I noticed that a popular store has a whole section dedicated to Adult coloring books.

Coloring is something that can be done at pretty much any age, but us adults sometimes want something a little more intricate. This is where Adult Coloring books come in. I love that this one had different breeds of dogs inside. I called the page with the Saint Bernard while my daughters and husband picked other pages for themselves. What I love is that these are one sided and if more then one person would like to do the same page you can copy them either on your copy machine, or scanner then print.

Now back to some time with my girls, coloring life away for a little while.

You can find this Adult Coloring book on Amazon.


Let your imagination soar and color this Amazing Dog Coloring pages with the colors of your choice.
This adult coloring book has Over 30 Different & Creative Dogs designs, originally designed by our Favorite Artist to give you the best coloring experience. Dog fanciers and coloring enthusiasts would definitely love this one. >Pages are SINGLE SIDED.

Let your little ones clean





What a cute little set for your little one to be able to mimic what their parents do. We love the wet sign the best, but all of the pieces are great representations of the full size product. The only thing you need to put together is the mop all of the other pieces are ready to play with.

This would make a great companion to a kitchen center, or a play vacuum cleaner. Set is sized for a smaller child my 7 year old had to bend over to use the mop but all other products were sized well.

PRINCESS TENT




Very cute and much larger than expected. Perfect for my girls and my grand daughters to play in. My daughter likes to have tea parties inside, cuddle up with her dolls while reading, and sometimes even falling asleep in her little castle.

Great for both inside and outside play use. Easy to put together but may be too hard for a child to put together on their own.

4 extendable poles are what hold the shape up. Come with a bag to store the 4 poles in as well as the tent. just grasp both side of the circle and make a figure 8 with your hands and it will fold right up to fit inside of the bag. Bag has zipper and handles for travel, storage, and convenience.

We have had a few like this but none quite this big before. We have had pop up tent structures before and they are really fun to have around for children to play in. Great gift idea, or a finishing touch to your little Princess's room.

You can find this Princess Tent on Amazon.


What Click n' Play has to say about their product.
Pink Princess Castle is an adorable gift for all girls. Fast and easy set up/breakdown with no tools required. The lightweight tent with a zipper carry bag is great for indoor or outdoor use. Its small size is easy to fit in compact home or kids room. The play tent can be folded flat for convenient storage when it is not in use.

Money Maze




Looking for a great new way to give a gift of money? Why not a money Maze. New exciting, and fun for both the gift giver, and gift receiver.

Great for a stocking stuffer, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or even for allowance. So fun to both play with or watch someone open. We have actually used it to see who could open it quicker.
You can find the Money Maze on Amazon.

Follow The Money Maze

When you give your next gift – whether it’s a gift card, a pair of concert tickets, some jewelry or good old fashioned legal tender – say so long to the plain vanilla envelope and load your loot into the Money Maze Old School Puzzle instead.

Frustratingly Phenomenal Fun: This cute little non-toxic 3x3x3 box that comes in four cool colors is the new way to show you care. Whether you’re a grandma giving the grandkids their first $20 or you’re a husband who wants to have a little fun while you give your wife that bracelet she’s been eyeing, this is how you want to do it. Challenge them to use a little ingenuity to finally get their hands on the gift they’ll love so much. They may give you the evil glare while they’re desperately trying to find the solution, but then, that’s half the fun!

Everyone Is Fair Game:
Young and old alike will be thrilled when you hand them this box of joy. You may have to wait for the goofy grin until after they find their way through the labyrinth, but it’ll be worth the wait for sure. This is completely safe for kids because it’s non-toxic, but we recommend it for ages six and up because younger toddlers may not appreciate the chase. You can even choose from five difficulty levels depending on just how hard you want the recipient to work.

Perfect for the bowl throwing baby


Feeding children is always a chore but a baby can be a bit more of that. They want to spit the food out, grab the spoon, draw with the food, throw the food, as well as wear the food. 

The suction cup on the Snug Baby feeding bowl will keep the bowl where it belongs. The lip is great if you are holding the bowl in your hand to feed your child. The spoon is an added extra and completes the feeding bowl for a all in one gift. 

Easy to wash and is also Dishwasher safe. 


You can find this baby feeding bowl on Amazon.


What Snug has to say about their product.
Feeding baby doesn't have to mean a mess. This Snug Suction Bowl and Spoon set comes with everything you need to give baby a taste of real food, in a neat and convenient package. Perfect for babies who are just learning to eat solid foods.

Nothing's worse than spills during feeding time. Prevent the mess (at least from you) with this bowl's easy to hold design. It stays securely in your hands, so you can get a tighter grip and avoid unsightly messes.
Spoon just right for baby
The set comes with a spoon that's made to fit perfectly in tiny mouths. This allows baby to get a good grip around it, preventing messes as baby learns to eat solid food. Despite its small size, it still holds enough food to give your child adequate bites for a full feeding. The spoon also has an easy to hold handle, making it easy for you to use, as well as for baby when he's ready to start trying to self-feed.
Hygienic cover keeps baby safe
When it's time to travel, or store the bowl and spoon away for next time, this set comes with a hygienic cover to keep the spoon free of dirt, dust, and grime. Just wash and put the cover on for next time.
Easy maintenance and stylish colours
The green and yellow colour scheme makes this set fitting for boys and girls alike. You'll also find both pieces to be easy to maintain and clean, since they're easy to wipe clean after use.

Two times the fun


Sensei Cube is a great cube for those who like to solve Rubic type cubes quickly as it is lubricated for quicker turns. For our family it is just a fun cube to try and solve.

My oldest child was the only one in our family to actually solve the cube and continued to do so until he could do it quicker each time. Matter of fact when there is a new cube like puzzle out there we usually buy him one if he hasn't already bought one of his own.

This set however I kept for the younger children to play with and I took the mini cube to have in my purse for times when we are out and about waiting for an appointment or for when the kids get board so they have something to keep them busy. The small cube is also great to attach to backpacks for kids to have something to do on ride to school.

I really like that this came with a pouch, it protects it from dings scratches when it is't being played with.
