Kidtoons Gruffalo Prize Pack Giveaway

I'd actually never heard of the Gruffalo until I ran across a couple weeks ago on a dvd preview. Then I saw it on Kidtoons for this months feature presentation. It really looks like a cute movie. Kidtoon's feature different movies each month to share family time. If you visit Kidtoons website you will find Coloring Contests, Photo Contest, and Free Coloring Sheets.

The Gruffalo is a magically tale of a mouse who takes a walk through the woods in search of a nut. Encountering three predators (a fox, an owl and a snake) who all wish to eat him - the plucky mouse outwits them all by announcing he is meeting a monster with terrible features, called a ‘Gruffalo.’ As each predator cowers away, the mouse grows increasingly confident as he makes his way through the woods, until he rounds a corner and comes face to face with the extraordinary product of his imagination: The Gruffalo.

Gruffalo prize pack:
*One The Gruffalo Book
*One The Gruffalo DVD
*One The Gruffalo Rhyme Game
*One The Gruffalo Kidtoons Movie Poster

Disclosure: Kidtoons provided information and giveaway." No other compensation was received. Contest is open to US.

Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles Giveaway & Review

With my two boys, I know there will be messy play. I can tell you colored bubbles are nowhere as mess as their mud pit in the backyard and color bubbles are 100 times easier to wash off. Ways to ensure no clothing damage dark around the house clothes for sure. I had on a white shirt and it washed out. We got to try out the Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles 3 Pack and a Bubble Launcher.

It happened to be cold when our bubbles arrived and my sons have no patience. We headed outside wrapped up, first we tried the bubble launcher and it didn't produce bubbles as fast as they could blow them. I was impressed that it had a handle turn to make bubbles, which save on batteries. I must say it didn't make them that fast, kept clogging, and the kids wanted bubbles flying everywhere (FAST). They grabbed the wands and did what kids do best, have fun. I had them to stick the bubbles in this little trashcan I'd just bought in case of spills, so they wouldn't lose their bubble mix and it helped it from tipping over.

So happen my mom stopped in during this time and was dodging the boys, they chased her with bubbles. It was messy and one hint of advice make sure you open the plastic on the bubble packs all the way. Your hands will be so slippery and hard to remove extra plastic later.

This week with much better weather, in school clothes~! we did some video using the Crayola Colored Bubbles. It washed out, the rain washed the porch clean & the bucket, and color bubbles aren't so bad.


TIPS:
Simple tips that make playing with Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles and cleaning up, even more awesome and enjoyable for both kids and moms.


Dress for Mess. Wear washable play clothes and shoes. It’s best to not wear suede, leather or any other material that can’t be washed.
Play Outside. An open grassy area is best away from new concrete, decks and porous surfaces like marble. Don’t use at formal events like weddings.
Rub skin to remove color.
Launder clothes promptly with water and detergent. Repeat washing may be needed.
Hose off outdoor surfaces like sidewalks and driveways to wash away color.

Educational Insights Grandma's Trunk & Play Foam Review & Giveaway

Nothing makes my son smile more than playing games. He also does not like to lose but, has accepted it with games. The things I like about the Educational Insights Grandma's Trunk Alphabet Game is you don't have to lose. It's not a traditional game and you can get as creative as possible and many people or few people can play. Beautiful colored cards, fun learning and riddles is packed in to Grandma's Trunk.


 All though I did not have enough children around to test all the games on the instructions, we played several different versions. I first read the clue cards and my son guess the item I was talking about. Later he did the same, except he can't read so he made up his own clues. This help advance his critical thinking, descriptive details that they will be looking for on his Kindergarten test. While he already knows his ABC's, practicing them can not hurt so I had him to put the cards in order from A to Z, then had him tell me another item each letter begins with, instead of the picture on the card.

One of the next games we played was I had him only pack food cards for grandma, them clothing, then house items, etc. That helped him recognize items for specific uses. When we did the story of what grandma packed with the cards "shuffled & mixed", he had to tell the story from the cards drawn. No matter how mixed up, he had to think of how to incorporate that item in to his story. Yes the story did get a little crazy but, his creativity came alive and he told a story. This was his favorite game so far.


Not only did we get to play around with the grandma trunk game. We got to get creative with some play foam. It is not as messy as it sounds and it's not that sticky. It's kind of like making rice crispy treats without the "sticky sticky." Very easy to clean up. Some had glitter in it. My son mixed it and said he was making a pizza.

Rules: Win Education Insights Grandma's Trunk Alphabet Game & Play Foam, US entry, 48 hr. Disclosure: Samples was sent for my honest review as a Education Insights Mom. All opinions are my own.

Rothschild Jacket Giveaway & Review

 Going to school early in the morning my son replies I can't take this cold freezing weather. When he said that, we wasn't even getting a hard frost on the ground. I told him it is only going to get colder. I thought about the hooded insulated jackets I'd seen from Rothschild and thought that might help.

The Rothschild Captain of the Team Active Jacket arrived. Immediately the zipper attached/un-attachable hood with mix of poly fleece and nylon lining stood out, I can make him cover his ears with extra velcro close. Since school started he's had recurrent ear infections. Zipper up jacket and button close with nylon lining helps make it wind resistant and light weight. Light weight is important for 4 yrs or they feel confined and my son does not like feel hindered.

We review the Navy Rothschild Captain of the Team Active Jacket and it has print & patch on the arms. One front top zipper pocket and two large pockets at the bottom. It also has one hidden pocket inside and this jacket is machine washable. Just a note that the black Captain of the Team Jacket has a few different features than the Navy if you choose that color style.

Additional Information

• Zip front and snap button placket closure
• Poly fleece lining inside at back
• Super woven nylon lining
• Wind resistant
• Breathable
• Rib knit cuffs and collar
• Insulated for maximum warmth with minimal weight
• 100% polyester

Now my son is warm and cozy thanks to Rothschild and thanks to Rothschild one lucky winner will win jacket of choice. Make sure you stop by and give Rothschild a follow on Facebook.
