Build your dream house with Magformers

We love all things magnetic, so of course we fell in love with Magformers years ago. The kiddos have now amassed a huge collection of the little magnetic building sets and love creating 2D and 3D shapes from the magnetic pieces.

A day of play with Sweet Suite at Home

Wondering how fun a virtual show could be? I’ll admit I was right there with you. Well, Sweet Suite was a decidedly different virtual event and it surpassed all of my expectations and then some. See what kind of fun was in store and what kind of SWAG was delivered.

Social and emotional learning with Miniland Educational

Miniland Educational has been helping educators give kids the tools they need to express themselves through play for years, but I’d urge parents to check them out as well. These are strange times, and sometimes that calls for an educator’s toolbox.

Summer activity with kids: Scooter Town

When I was young, we used to play Scooter Town in our little neighborhood multiple times a week. Basically, game goes like this: the scooters are the cars in the town, and they must obey the laws of the road. Like a real car, the scooters need to fill up with gas at the service station {aka the air pump}, go through bank drive-thrus, navigate around traffic cones, and they must stay on their side of the dotted lines we draw on our sidewalk.

Julie’s Pinball Machine from American Girl

We love when doll accessories are also toys the kids can play with – even without the dolls. Such is the case with Julie’s new Pinball Machine from American Girl that actually works. It’s amazing fun to play with, even without a doll in sight.

Learn block coding while having fun with the Arcade Coder

Learn coding and take over the world. Or at least, be employable in the next twenty years. This new toy from Tech Will Save Us makes learning block coding so fun and easy that a mom could do it. I mean a kid. A kid could do it.

Music Studio Pack: where tech meets music

These kits seem like toys at first glance with their bright colors and cardboard housings. But, these are real musical tools that kids can utilize to learn the basics of music, layering, and even a bit about musical theory. I bet you will be surprised by the kinds of music your kiddo can create with just a few DIY kits.

Add a tent to your trampoline for next level fun

I think I’ve finally outdone myself with the addition of the AlleyOOP Outback Trampoline Tent to our JumpSport Elite Trampoline. The kids have had so much fun bouncing in and around the AlleyOOP tent for hours, playing all sorts of games, and now are so excited to take their trampoline camping to the next level thanks to this awesome tent that gives all the fun of trampoline sleeping, without all the bugs.

Retro fun with the new American Girl Lanes

The new American Girl Lanes Bowling Alley is simply good old fashioned fun with a high-tech twist. We’ve gone absolutely crazy for this *fully functional* doll-sized bowling alley this summer and the kids have spent so may hours playing – with or without their American Girl dolls.
