I change my nail color often and when i do my daughter also likes to switch it up or just requires a touch up. I love the ease of Go Glam! This allows a child to add her own pizzazz to her fingers.
My daughter is 8 and old enough to paint her own nails. The bottles provided were little and the right size for her to paint herself with.
The real fun came when she could pick the stickers to add to her fingers. The cartridges are easy to load and although it took us a try or too to feel out the stamping. She was able to apply the stickers to every nail.
The polish is tacky which i wasn't used to and we waited awhile to let it dry (it never quite did) but i think this is all part of the process. The whole process is quick with fantastic results.
I have since looked at available cartridges to buy and add to this kit. I think all young girls would enjoy this. Bring on the birthday parties and sleepovers. A girls night just got better.

I loved this idea. My kids couldn't wait to see the story. The app was easy to download and indidnt experience any problems. I was able to follow the step by step instructions and I was up and running in minutes. I did have to remove the outer cover for a better image but, that was the only thing that slowed me down.
I loved the music and the additonal special sound effects throughout the story. That made the story more engaging. My kids sat still and listened to the end. They could wait for the next story and wondered what other stories were available. My oldest can read this to her brother which is a fun way to practice your reading.
What a fun way to keep the reading fun for children!

I loved this game as well as my kids. We and them have been playing it for days! My kids ages 8 and 6 ask to play it together. They enjoy racing each other to retrieve the item. The instructions are really easy making it fun for all ages. Hardest part of the game is the challenge of getting the right piece. The wrong hand and foot option is a nice way to change it up.
I could see even packing this game for a roadtrip. Everything is contained so no worry about a big board to make room for.
The only arguments my kids had were if there was a tie when they each pulled an item at the same time. Or when the spinner landed in the middle.
This is such a unique concept and I am glad to have been selected to review this with a complimentary game. This would make a great holiday gift.

Perfect for little hands to hold and the easy to introduce kids to building. A new kind of building! These little disks provide a challenge to build things. I used them in a variety of ways with small kids.
Use the disks to learn colors and match them in piles. Challenge the kids to make a pattern or a shape even as simple as a line. Lastly the real fun is making something. I started by showing the kids a simple flower then finished the day by creating a ball!
I think the shape makes it a fun and interesting challenge for anyone to play with. The website offers instructions to create other items as well.
The pieces are small so smaller children should be watched while playing with these but, I witnessed kids as young as 2 working with them. The pieces were durable solid plastic pieces and they will definitely hold up over time.

I love these snacks! I have eaten two already! I bought them originally for school lunches not a complete lunch but, as an addition to lunch.
There are a variety to choose from and I haven't tried them all yet, I plan on checking them out. I bought a 3 pack for my home and have since bought singles as well.
I can vouch for the cookies and crackers snack as a great treat or snack. I don't know about hungry little people but, I felt satisfied after I ate one. The 2.25 ounce kit was just enough for me! I alternated between the mini butter crackers and the mild cheddar chunks then finished off my snack with the mini chocolate chip cookies!
I like the variety of salty, sweet and crunchy combined in one snack pack. I think this pretty much has all the right bases covered for any craving.

I have visited Great Wolf Lodge several times sometimes more then once a year! It's been a little while and I opened up my email to a fantastic last minute deal. I couldn't let this deal pass me by and in 2 days we were off to a night of fun in a themed room!
My kids didn't have any idea of my plan and that made this deal even better as I packed behind their back a smile was glued to my face.
We arrived in the early evening and stayed the whole next day. Rode waterslides, surfed, and enjoyed the lazy pool. We missed out on the holiday theme ears but are considering another visit to pick up an orange pair soon.
The food is as plentiful as the water. Restaurants, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, an ice cream and treat shop, pizza, candy store, and more to include an outside eatery too.
A few places to pick up a souvenirs, a shop for a new bathing suit of course, or make a quick stop to get a manicure.
We followed the daily activities for additional fun and to break up the water fun. My kids made a bracelet that represent their artsy side as well as a souvenir from the trip. They also had fun posing with the characters.
Of course they can't wait to go again and neither can I. Hopefully we can check out some new things to do or make but, even if we don't the water is definitely a huge highlight!

Legos were universal when I grew up and that was fine but I love how the are focused on girl and boy and specific themes now. My daughter really enjoyed creating an elf scene and can't wait to collect more kits. This kit had 319 pieces, stickers she got to apply and easy instructions to follow. The instructions are pictures of the step by step process which makes it easy for early readers to follow the process. Watching a child complete a project from start to finish and seeing that smile after they have completed the task is the best feeling. -

We played Soggy Doggy tonight as a family and enjoyed ourselves. The excitement of course starts when you have seen the game on TV and then it's in your house. The assembly is easy to follow and takes only a few minutes! We filled the tub with water and the youngest whom was also celebrating his birthday was excited to start!
The directions took us a few times to get it straight but we worked it out. We started chugging along the board, twisting and pumping the knob waiting for some soggy action. When it finally happened the kids were over the moon with the silliness of it.
This game is perfect for little kids! All games are fun with teaching kids patience and encouraging families to spend time together but this is yet another game that focuses more on fun then winning!
