Holiday Gift Guide - MindWare ReCon Rover Review & Giveaway



I have four children that are pretty far apart in ages. So its not always easy to find toys for all four of  them in one location. That's why I was excited to find MindWare, an online store that specializes in educational toys.  Whether I'm looking for developmental toys for my toddler or something like arts and crafts for my eleven year old, I can find it all in one convenient place at prices that will make me smile as much as the kids do when they're opening up the package. With the holidays coming up  in the next few short weeks, there are lots of toys and games at MindWare that I know my kids will love.



For our review, we received the Recon Rover. Its amazing how much your children can learn while playing with this remarkable toy.  It reminds me of Number Five from the movie, "Short Circuit". My son wants to be an astronaut, and the ReCon Rover is giving him the practice he needs in basic computer programming. Just like the space rovers, you can program your own exciting mission right into the ReCon Rover. Once you map out a mission, you use the ten button membrane keyboard to program it to go in the directions you want it to travel. Once its on its way, kids will love the LED headlights, LCD screen, and the microphone they can use to record and play back personal messages. This is the type of toy that kids will love to find under the tree, and it will never be forgotten at the bottom of a toy chest because there is always more to explore. It is designed for children eight and older and requires three C batteries. You can get yours for only $69.95 at MindWare.




The ReCon Rover is only one example of hundreds of wonderful, educational toys you can find at MindWare. They also have puzzles, books, building sets, board games, arts & crafts and and so much more. You can use their simple search engine to look for gifts by category or age. Right now would be a great time to start your shopping and beat the holiday rush because your 100% satisfaction is always guaranteed.  And if  you are looking for some great deals on already low prices, be sure to check out their clearance section. And be sure to check out their blog for articles on toys and parenting.




One lucky winner is going to receive the same awesome Recon Rover that I received to review.  To enter, just fill in the Rafflecopter form below. The winner will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply. Thanks again to MindWare for offering this fantastic prize.
