Kid Games That Your Toddler Will Love!

How many games does your pre-schooler or toddler have?  Is there a particular one that is their favorite?  Well, when Goliath Games reached out to me to try a few of their kid games, I could not have been more excited!  I have a two year old toddler grandson with a wild imagination and a love of games (even though he doesn't seem to want to play by the rules!)  

Goliath Games has TONS of games and toys to choose from and I had no clue which games they were sending...until now!  The games that Goliath Games sent were geared toward the ages of 3-4 years old, but although my two year old grandson was under this age range, he still enjoyed playing these games on his own terms!  

Let me tell you...EVERY SINGLE DAY, he thinks he has to drag every one of these games out, spread them across my living room floor or table and play with each and every one of them...at the same time!  He may be only two years old, but he is starting to understand how each game works!  He loves finding the matching shapes on the bottom of each duckie of Lucky Ducks Game.  He loves feeding the pig, just to watch the pig's belly POP of Pop the Pig, fish for fishies of the Let's Go Fishin and wait in anticipation for the shark to jump out of the water with Shark Bite!

Let's start with:
POP THE PIG 


Pop the Pig ® is an international preschool classic that is adored by millions of children – it was the top-selling preschool game in 2016 and 2017 according to retailer sales data collected by NPD! Kids spin the spinner, pop a hamburger into the pig’s mouth and push down on his head. The more they pump, the more his belly grows until . . . pop!

Kids love the suspense as they watch his belly grow; the player who makes his belly burst loses the game. Children can quickly reset this pig game with one pump of the pig’s head and experience consistent belly busting game-play each and every time. Pop the Pig provides hours of fun and is completely kid powered (no batteries needed). For added convenience, all pieces can be stored inside the pig. Kids won’t see a pop up pirate, but they will get to pop a pig. For ages 4 and up, 2-6 players. From the makers of Gooey Louie and Jumping Jack.
GAME CONTENTS:

Colorful sea creatures are place inside the shark's mouth.  Players take turns rolling the die and fishing for the sea creatures using the fishing rods. But watch out - you never know when the shark is going to bite! Shark Bite is a battery-free game that will have kids hooked!  

  • Players take turns rolling the die and fishing for the colorful sea creatures using the fishing rod
  • Watch out - The shark can bite at any time
  • Easy set up - just snap the sea creatures into the game unit and start fishing

LUCKY DUCKY GAME


Lucky Ducks is a game that tests your memory with this match-the-shapes game.  Lucky Ducks game is designed to help kids with shape recognition and colors. Press the red button to switch on the circular pond, and watch the ducks start swimming.  On the bottom side of each duck, there is a colored shape. Players take turns picking up a duck and looking at the color and shape. If it matches the color and shape of the shape they chose, they get to keep the duck. If it doesn't match they put it back. The player that collects three ducks with the same color and shape, wins.  For 2-4 players ages 3 and up. Requires 2 AA batteries (not included).

Grand Box - The Box That Every Grandparent Would Love!


We have those special occasions where birthdays come up, Mother's Day & Father's Day and even Christmas and Valentine's Day...but what about those one on one gifts for grandparents?  Grandparents plays a very important roll in our lives and they are like a second parent to our grandchildren.  They are there anytime we call on them and sometimes, they even help raise our children.

That is why I am so proud to be a part of a collaboration with Grandbox and US Family Guide.  The Grandbox is a special box, that is put together, with all the favorite essentials that a lot of grandparents enjoy.  Whether it be crossword puzzles, sipping cocoa on a cold Winter-y day or enjoying some of their favorite treats, Grandbox can be customized to what they love or enjoy doing.


Grandbox is a monthly subscription box that is made for grandma and grandpa.  You can choose from a monthly, 3 or 6 month recurring plan, add a few photos via email and Grandbox will take care of the rest.  The Grandbox includes at least 5 items and reflects a monthly theme.

Now...I will admit...I had good intentions and was going to create a Grandbox for my mom (which I kinda did) but once I received the box, I ended up keeping it for myself!  Well...I had to, because I ate the chocolate covered biscuit cookies!  BUT...my mom WILL be getting the crossword puzzle book (she LOVES her crossowords!)


The box I received was amazing!  I loved the big SMILE across the front of the box and inside consisted of: holiday napkins, Snowflakes Menthol Eucalyptus Candy Mints, Spiced Mug Mat (place your warm or hot coffee mug on the mat to release aromatic spice scent), a LARGE crossword puzzle book, chocolate covered caramel flavored stirring stick (use to stir in milk for a chocolately caramel flavor drink) and chocolate covered biscuit cookies (these were to die for!)  


I was really impressed by the way each item was packaged and the quality of each item.  I loved how Grandbox took close attention to details and chose the perfect items, not only for my mom...but for me, as well!  This is a great subscription box that I know EVERY grandparent would love.  It doesn't have to be Christmas or Valentine's day...just a box to say "Thank You" for everything you do and...to bring a smile to their faces.

Go checkout their subscription boxes and put a smile on YOUR grandparent's face!  https://www.mygrandbox.com/

Display Your Announcements on the Indigo Fern Felt Letter Board!



I can't tell you how many times, that I wished I had some sort of a board for birthdays, announcements, milestones, etc.  I was always envious of those who had the perfect setup and backgrounds that included a felt letter board that just seemed to put that finishing touch on photos.

Well....drum roll please!  I finally got one!  A 12" x 18" felt letter board that not only comes with 600 letters, characters and emojis (YES! emojis!) but an easel, cutting tool as well as twine and 4 mini clothes pins to hang precious photos.  This Indigo Fern felt letter board is perfect for those anniversaries, birthdays, bridal showers and even those who want to have a lemonade stand!  



This board has 116% more space than your original 10" x 10" board and gives you plenty of room to display whatever message you want to send out.  Just think about all the endless possibilities you will have with this board.  Use it as a prop against a backdrop for those professional photos or maybe just as a reminder, sitting on your kitchen counter top.




This felt letter board by Indigo Fern includes:

*Photo Hanging Kit (2 eye hook screws, 4 mini clothes pins & 19" of jute twine)
*Easel
*Cutting Tool
*Drawstring Storage Bag.

I love that the Indigo Fern Felt Letter Board comes with a cutting tool, because if I had to cut each individual letter out with scissors, or worse yet, by hand...it would take forever!  I did find, however, that I had a little trouble keeping the easel upright, without sliding in, but hopefully this was because I had the easel on a slick surface (my counter top.)  But with careful placement, you can display your message with ease and capture that perfect moment.



It's also cool that it comes with the mini clothes pins and twine, as this is perfect to hang those photos, but I don't know how often I would use this...but many of you will.  My main purpose of this letter board will be the use of the letters, numbers, characters and of course... THE EMOJIS!

You can purchase your deluxe 12" x 18" Indigo Fern Felt Letter Board HERE - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=felt+letter+board+B078L5LL5B

Christmas in July? You Can Find Various Templates for Your Christmas Cards at Presto Photo



I love personalized Christmas Cards during the holiday season and finding the right company or online site to create your cards can be exhausting and stressful.  Choosing which template you want, coordinating the background with your family's photo, etc can sometimes be a little too much, especially when you are trying to create the perfect greeting card.




I've used Presto Photo's site a couple times already and I'm always pleasantly surprised how easy it is to navigate around their site.  They make it so easy for anyone to create their own custom greeting cards, not to mention, other customized items.




Presto Photo has various templates for different holidays.  You can choose from any of their templates, upload your family's photo and save it to their site.  You can always come back to Presto Photo and make any changes to your greeting card before submitting your final project.  




I have never been disappointed with Presto Photo's work. Every photo that I've used for projects always turn out perfect and the photo looks exactly as what I've uploaded for my projects.  The turn around is unheard of.  With my Christmas cards, I created my family's card and had them in about a week.  That's fast!  




I will say, choosing the Winter template for my Greeting Card took some time.  I am a little picky when it comes to the final outcome, so I did experiment with several before making the final decision on the Let It Snow template.




You can check out these, as well as other greeting card templates, at https://www.prestophoto.com/help/5x7+Flat+Greeting+Card

I don't know about you, but I love fun, creative socks.

TENKER Q5 Mini Projector Will Have Your Family Enjoying Videos, Pictures and More

After seeing my grandson react to a cartoon, that was displaying on a wall, of a projector, I knew I had to have one.  My grandson loves anything that is musical and when it comes to even short videos of his favorite, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", he goes into a trance and wants it played over and over.


What is better than viewing his favorite videos from a smartphone or laptop?  Seeing them enlarged on a wall!  This TENKER Q5 Mini Projector is perfect for displaying his favorites onto a larger surface.  It is a 1500 LUX LCD mini projector with a support of 1080p HDMI-USB-TF-VGA-AV for a Home Cinema, TV, Laptop, Game, iPhone and Android.


It has a 800 x 480 resolution for a brighter and sharper experience.  It is not recommend for work presentation, where there may be too much light, but suited to a more darker room, where little light shines.  If you are going to use this projector with a smartphone or tablet, you will need a WiFi Dongle (not included).  


This is easy to tote around, from room to room, and perfect for taking with you on that vacation or camping trip.  I can just see myself using this projector, while camping, watching videos and more - off the surface of our camper! It comes with a remote control, cables and power cord, as well an instruction manual.  It was not hard to set up at all, especially from my laptop.  If you are familiar with the original projectors, you know they are a little larger and bulky. This projector is a mini version, but yet, not too small.  It's very sleek, smooth looking and with the black color, goes well with any home.


For best viewing results; use in a semi to dark room to get a better quality picture.  The projector is best when used at a 2m.

You can purchase your TENKER Q5 Mini Projector....HERE - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BV1ZMV

Be Brave Little One Wood Sign by Joyful Island Creations

I'm a big fan of wood signs.  I think they are so neat and unique and they seem to fit any theme, in any room.  When I was looking for signs for my grand-son's nursery, I wanted a theme that went well with the Woodland Animal theme his mother had for his nursery.  

The wood sign, shown below, is perfect!  It had an outdoorsey feel and look, the wording, "Be brave, little one", describes the adventure that is about to follow for my grandson, Brody.  It is a wood sign that goes well in any room or nursery.  When looking for Woodland or Forest Animal themes, you can't go wrong with personalized wood signs.


This wood sign, as well as 88 other wood signs, are available over at Joyful Island Creation on Etsy.  Amanda has a way with words and some of these words or quotes, are very popular ones you see today.  The lettering is done in white while the arrow is a mint color.  The sign is made with reclaimed wood and then stained.  


The sign is approximately 10" x 10" and comes ready to hang.  Each sign is different and unique, because depending on the wood, its knots and lines, the sign will stain differently, giving it it's own unique look.  The sign is very well made, sturdy and has a very rustic look to it.  I love it!  And let me tell you...you're not going to get a sign that is thin and delicate.  Oh, no.  This sign is made from real reclaimed and re-purposed wood, which has a thickness to it, that will last.

You can visit Joyful Island Creation on Etsy for this sign, as well as tons of others.  If you don't see what you want, let Amanda know and she will be more than glad to customize your own saying or quote.  Below are just a few samples of what Amanda has to offer in her Etsy store.
