My Thoughts

I really liked the feel of this superdisc in my hand. The sides are made of a nice rubber that is flexible and not hard like a typical frisbee. The middle part is a hard plastic, but not quite as hard as a typical frisbee. This superdisc fit comfortably in my hand and when I threw it, it wasn't awkward leaving.

It does glide through the air nice and doesn't seem to curve the way I've had frisbees in the past. My son and I tossed it back and forth to each other, and didn't find ourselves having to run all over after the other tossed it. For the most part, once we got the hand of throwing it, it glided back and forth between the two of us.

The superdisc has the ability to go far. With more and more practice, I was able to get it to sail through the sky farther then I had previously.

Another nice thing about this disc is that with the soft rubber sides, if it does hit something, it doesn't do much damage. Or no damage, it really depends on the force of the throw. I really liked this disc and can see us using it quite a bit in the evenings when we are looking for some family time together.

Wild Kratts Toy Collection Review

Fans of the Wild Kratts TV series on PBS KIDS will be roaring – and creating their own creature-powered fun! – with the launch of the brand-new Wild Kratts toy line that lets them bring home all the exciting wildlife explorations of the hit show for the very first time! By popular demand, the new Wild Kratts toy line from Wicked Cool Toys will leap, bounce and soar to Toys“R”Us stores nationwide and toysrus.com this month. The imagination-inspiring new assortment of collectable action figures, plush, power suits and more, encourages young animal adventurers to role play and “activate” their own “creature powers” – just like the stars of the show, Chris and Martin Kratt!

Our Thoughts

Wild Kratts is by far the best science-based cartoon out there! I homeschool my children and I use Wild Kratts episodes for a lot of their science learning. There is no fighting school work when you get to sit in front of the tv watching your favorite cartoon show! My children love the specifics the learn with each episode and retain the information since it's done in a fun environment as well. 

With the Wild Kratts toys my children can now reanimate their favorite episodes! My oldest loves sharks and the book is perfect for her. My youngest is much more hands on and loves the Fliers Set with "creature powers". She is much more imaginative and these toys bring out the scientist in her.

Having previously owned a Husky, both of my daughters love the Wild Kratts wolf stuffed animal too. Great toys, great show and great education with Wild Kratts!

Review: GoodWood Deconstruction Blocks, Mulch Heap

GoodWood Deconstruction Blocks

Mulch Heap

*** Winner of Dr. Toy's Best Green Product Award ***

*** Winner of Dr. Toy's Best Vacation Product Award ***

Goodwood deconstruction blocks are a new system of innovative wooden blocks, designed to invite real creative play. The beautiful, precisely crafted blocks are intentionally packaged without instructions or other prescriptive guidelines, in order to cultivate open-ended exploration. Unlike most modern toys, this puts the child in complete control of the child-toy relationship, and encourages them to come up with their own ways to play. The different shapes allow for building outwards in every dimension, and the creation of structures which are both architecturally and geometrically interesting, as well as visually pleasing. They are suitable as a construction toy for children, and increasingly popular as a desk toy for design-minded adults as well. The ever-growing goodwood system currently includes seven original designs. Each set is designed to be fun and interesting on its own, and to provide new features when combined with the other sets as well. All sets come with pieces in six vibrant colors (water-based acrylic paint), made from forest-friendly rubber wood, and CPSIA tested. Care has been taken to ensure that the product reflects responsible social and environmental decision-making, and the developer's website provides a mechanism for purchasing discounted sets for donation into orphanages and kindergartens in the developing world.

Our Thoughts
I grew up playing with wood blocks, but these GoodWood Deconstruction blocks have got to be the coolest wood toy blocks I've ever seen!  They aren't your average block shapes - they can be put together in any way your creative mind imagines!  They purposely do not come with any sort of instructions, so anything you or your child build with them comes straight out of the imagination.

We have the Mulch Heap set, which has several different sizes and colors of wood block shapes.  I love that all eight of the Deconstruction sets are inter-compatible - after owning one set, you'll want more to see what else you can build!  Really - your imagination's the limit here.  The Deconstruction blocks fit together in so many different ways, and with all the different colors, you will have a hard time building the same thing twice!  I don't know who will have more fun with these - our child or us parents!!  I want to spend hours playing with these blocks!

And for parents who want safe, eco friendly toys for their children, GoodWood Deconstruction Blocks are made with sustainably harvested rubber wood and come in 6 vibrant colors (painted with non-toxic water-based acrylic paints) in an ethically run, small factory in China.   Highly recommended!

Tubby Table Review

The Tubby Table is the perfect solution for entertaining kids in the bathtub and keeping the water off the floor. The Tubby Table provides a play surface in the middle of the bathtub for children to play with their own toys, or to play with the removable shaped cups on the table’s surface.

• 5 removable cups for bath time fun, pouring and stacking
• Two kids can play together in the bathtub
• Suction cup holds the Tubby Table to the bottom of your bathtub
• Non-slip bathtub mat included for your child to sit on
• Children can use their own favorite bath toys to play
  • Have a tea party with a favorite princess doll
  • Drive cars and trucks through the soap bubbles
  • Make “soapy soup” with their plastic cups and bowls
• Perfect gift for child’s first birthday

Our Thoughts

Bath crayons only stretch so far when you have littles that like to snap them every chance they get! This is one toy they're sure to use and that is durable and will last considerably longer than many other bath toys! Not only is this a good product for a baby and young toddler, but my four year old daughter enjoys this as well. She likes to tip the shapes upside down and make THOSE her tea set!

The Tubby Table is very sturdy and you don't have to worry about it tipping over if your child or toddler leans against it (or stands up with it!) too hard. This is an easy-to-assemble product that anyone can put together and it only takes a minute or two. Another great thing about this product is it is very easy and convenient to clean it, as it's in the tub after all :)

Our Thoughts

This toy is very cool and definitely makes you think while you're building it.  Appreciative of the box that has the handle on it, keeps all the pieces in one place so you do not lose anything. We opened the box and my husband and I, as well as our two daughters (7 and 4) put this together in about thirty minutes. It was great fun to have the girls find the different pieces (as we just dumped everything into one pile) and help assemble this maze. There are so many pieces that the creativity of building options is endless. My daughters are loving moving the pieces around and making their own maze. 

This product is well crafted, very sturdy, easily assembled and is something that will definitely last a while and keep your children's minds thinking consistently!
