I was so pleased with this product! It's very hard to find quality educational and creative toys for children that aren't over priced - where you get a little quality for a lot of money. This kit is worth every penny. I shopped around and found the best price on Amazon. Got it for my 8 year old's birthday (just turned 8) and she loved it. This is perfect for any girl that is interested in learning fashion design or sewing or has an interest in making their own barbie clothes - or just likes to be creative and artsy. As an added plus I found it useful for homeschooling. (Measuring, art, careers, textures, etc.) The kit included fun fabrics for the kids to play with, a mannequin, a book to draw their designs in and very nice instructions I was pleased with. Needles, swatches, thread, swatches, fabric glue and pencil, and a very pretty pre-made dress that the little ones can just add fancy stuff too if they want (I think it ran big though). There was more but I bought it a while ago so I can't remember everything. Little hangers for clothes. (Having a case to keep everything in would have been nice - but probably would have made the product more expensive.) There was a lot to "explore" with the kit so it wasn't just ripping it open and throwing it aside. It's definitely something to sit down with. I also felt it was new and different than a lot of stuff out there. (She's my youngest of six..so I've got a grasp on what's out there...) The idea of saving money by making barbie clothes is a good idea too. I am so happy I found this and I highly recommend it. If I'm ever stuck to get another girl a birthday present and they like Barbies I'd definitely consider getting this for a gift. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Trend Lab Dr Seuss ABC Burp Bouquet, 4 Piece (Baby Product)


I bought these burp cloths when I was pregnant just because they were cute and I wanted to buy some baby stuff. These turned out to be my favorite of the different types of burp cloths I have. They are just the right size, not too big like the cloth diapers and not too small like some other ones I have. I have washed them several times, and the pattern has not faded. On one side is the pattern, and the other side is terry cloth. I think the terry cloth keeps the spit up from running all over the place. I'm buying more of these.

Trend Lab Blooming Bouquet Burp Cloths, Set of 4


This 4-pack of burp cloths features fun and modern prints on one side in 100% cotton and terry on the other side. It measures 13" x 10".


Product Description

Set of 4 burp cloths. Fun modern prints on one side, terry on the other. Measure 13" x 10" each.

This review is from: Trend Lab Blooming Bouquet Burp Cloths, Set of 4 (Baby Product)


These burp cloths are 10" x 13" which is plenty big for my shoulder. I have purchased many different types of burp clothes and these are the best. I have a baby with GERD that spits up at least 10-15 times a day. The best part about these are that they don't leak through right away! The patterns are very distinct and easy to find in the laundry, diaper bag, or anywhere else. I would recommend sticking with one set as opposed to getting many different colors for this reason.
As some people called one side "rough"... it's terrycloth and that is what helps keep the spit up from just rolling down the cloth and onto your lap or shirt. It's not too rough at all. I highly recommend this.

Then, have a ball as you shake it, pass it, or roll it around for 10 to 15 minutes.

Pacific Trails Boys 2-7 Bubble Jacket


This is a very nice, affordable boy's coat. I bought the 5/6 in orange for my 4.5 year-old (average height/weight). It may run a little small (?), so buy a size/age up, like I did (plus you might get 2 winters out of it!). It's warm & seems well-made (definitely NOT slapped-together, NOT cheap-looking). The hood is attached, not removable, the upper part of the lining & hood are lined with a soft fleece material, making it cozy, while the sleeves & lower portion are the slippery nylon material so the kids can get their arms in easily & the bottom doesn't bunch up. Machine washable, velcro "button" holds pocket closed. I'm thinking of getting the size 7 coat for 2 years from now because the price is good ($34.99 plus super saver shipping). A definite "buy" item.
** (2 months later) Okay, I'm glad I waited a bit to buy the size 7/8, because it was only $20 (w/super-saver shipping!!!). I noticed the review for the size 8-20 jacket & the buyer was concerned about the warmth. We brave Chicago winters here & it seems to be doing its job keeping my boy warm without all the bulk. The filling (fluffy stuff) seems to be well dispersed within the coat shell, and having that trap air is what keeps the kids well insulated. The warmth factor doesn't trouble me.
 
This heavy weight puffer jacket is winter fleece lined for extra warmth and has an additional inside pocket. Comes in bright, youth inspired colors.

Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper


Product Description


Get ready for some poppin', droppin', air-powered fun. Drop the five colorful balls onto the track. Watch them pop out of the top, roll down, then pop out all over again. Sometimes the balls spill over for even more interactive, put-and-take play. Silly sound effects and eight upbeat tunes accompany the animated action. This toy provides one "air-mazing" experience for your little one. Measures 18" x 7" x 13". Requires 4 "D" batteries (not included).

I first encountered this toy in a doctor's office and was amazed by its popularity. My 18 month-old son loved it as did ALL of the other kids in the office -- from about 9 mos to 5 years. The kids could not get enough of this toy. I got it for our own home, and its popularity remains high. I have given it as a birthday gift, and it has been a winner in those homes as well. The kids really do play with it endlessly. On that note, though, please know that this toy makes some NOISE, so if you are a person who can't stand noisy toys, this is NOT the toy for your house. I love Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper

Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board

Amazon.com Product Description


With the Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board, kids can take their creations to a whole new level of fun. The glow board comes with six vibrant neon markers, which can be used to draw on either of the board's two drawing surfaces. Once their drawing is complete, kids can illuminate the colored inks with the touch of a button, as the board's lights give the ink an intense glow.





Children can illuminate the colored inks with the touch of a button. View larger.

Kids are able to create a multitude of different drawings.

An Electronic Easel

The Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board offers a unique way for kids to display their art, as it lights up drawings much like a neon sign. It incorporates several violet lights under the drawing surface. When lit, these lights cause the ink to take on a vivid, striking glow. The board's surface is reusable -- ink erases in an instant -- making it good for hours of fun at a time. Children can easily display their artwork by using the easel back to prop the board in place. And the board's two separate drawing layers give kids even more room to doodle. Using the glow board's controls, kids can choose to display one layer, or flash between both for an exciting billboard-like effect.

Drawing with the Glow Board

The glow board's markers come in six dazzling neon colors -- red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and pink. With these colors at their command, kids will be able to create a multitude of different drawings. Perhaps they will envision a galaxy with stars and planets, or render an undersea adventure. The markers have medium tips, which can draw thickly but also offer the ability to draw finer images. A tracing sheet comes with the board to help kids get ideas for their artwork. This toy is recommended for children ages six and up, and requires three AAA batteries (not included.)
