Flexo Ocean Life Turtle 3D Flexible Building Brick Toy

Christmas is just around the corner and I've just about finished my Christmas shopping.  I know, I know...most of you guys probably start your Christmas shopping like 3 months early; me, I usually wait until the last few weeks before Christmas.

Most of the time, I pretty well know what I am going to gift my family and friends, but you always have that one that seems difficult to find for, whether it's a child or an adult.  I found the idea gift for those who loves to work with their hands; those who love somewhat of a challenge and who loves creative projects.

This Flexo Ocean Life Turtle 3D Flexible Building Brick Toy is just that.  It contains 16 Flexo Circle Bricks, 64 Flexo Equilateral Triangle Bricks, 2 Eyes, 1 Black Tendon Sheet (112 Tendons), Template, Digital Instructions and Flexo Multi Tool.

The first thing I done when I received this flexible brick box was download the app - Flexo AR.  Once this app was downloaded, I waved it across the front of the box the Flexo Ocean Life Turtle came in and the picture on the box literally swam!  This turtle swam across my phone screen, begging me to get him out of the box so we could go ride the tide.  I must admit, it was kind of cool!

There is a YouTube video you can watch, that guides you into how to build your Flexo Ocean creature.  Oh, and let me just mention...these Flexo Ocean Life creatures are available in a crab, seahorse, turtle, stingray and fish and all are bendable, swimable and float, so they're perfect for bath time for kids.

The age requirement is 7 and up, mainly due to small parts, so it is highly recommended not to leave small children alone with this toy. The difficulty level of this toy is 1 out of 5...so not too bad.  I know the video is recommended in building your sea creature, but I wanted to just look at the picture on the box to see if I couldn't figure out. NOPE!  You HAVE to watch the video.  I realized, even though the first part of my turtle looked correct...it wasn't!  Watching the YouTube video made the assembly go so much smoother and faster and made so much sense.  Here is my finished project!

I won't lie...I had fun creating my sea turtle and the more it came together, the more excited I was. Although you may not can tell, this turtle does have dimensions to him - 3D to be exact and it not flat, like this photo, above, seems to portray him. The blocks resemble leggo blocks, but the rubber like tendons is what makes this sea creature come to life, bending and flexing.  I found it was easier to snap the tendons between the blocks, using the multi tool that came in this kit.  I also found out, that you will have extra rubber tendons after you complete your creature.  This may be due to some that may be lost or damaged as you are building your creature.

Educational Bead Maze for Little Hands

My soon-to-be 11 month grandson is growing so fast.  Just 11 months ago, he was born and we held him in just only one arm.  I remember a lot of nights, where he slept majority of the day, woke up only to be fed and look around for awhile and back off to sleep.

My, oh my, where has the time gone in such a short amount of time! He is not quite one year old, but he is learning so fast and so quick and he just keeps amazing us all.  He was walking at 10 months old and recently began playing with our remote control, figuring out how the back comes off - and then tries to put it back on.

With little kids growing so fast, learning more and more at a faster pace, I'm glad that he has several educational toys to play with.  These educational toys will help him develop eye and hand coordination as well as counting.  One of these toys is the Educational Roller Coaster Bead Maze by Timy.  It is very colorful, full of bright and vibrant colored beads and structured pieces.  The maze looks quite intricate and complicated, but little ones can quickly grasp how to maneuver the colorful beads along the structured maze.

This Timy Roller Coaster Bead Maze has a solid beech base, smooth sanded pieces and is very well constructed.  This maze is developed to help little ones with hand eye coordination, shape and color differentiation and fine motor skills. Toddlers.

If you have a toddler that is curious and determined to figure things out, this maze with colorful beads and animal patterns will sure to be a hit with them. It will keep them busy, figuring out how to slide and move the beads over the maze and watch in awe as the beads glide down the path.  I also found that this is a perfect piece for any child's bedroom, sitting on a shelf or side table, that has a colorful theme to it.

The Jingle Cube Sensory Toys for Babies

As a mother, you know that touch and feel are an important part of a baby's learning experience.  It teaches them the different feels of textured objects (smooth, soft, textured, etc.) and it makes it an interesting experience for your baby, especially during the first year, when they are developing their touch, sight and hearing.  There are many toys on the market that allows a baby to learn by touch and feel, but the one I love most, are the handmade sensory toys from Etsy.

MadeByGigiBoutique Etsy Shop has this interesting and very popular sensory toy, that is soft, textured with minky fabric and ribbons and brightly colored. The cube even has a jingle to it (don't worry, the jingle bell is inside the cube.) This is a great toy for moms who don't want to worry about toys with sharp or hard edges and one that their babies can carry around.  

This Jingle Cube by MadeByGigiBoutique has a mixture of cotton, satin, minky and ribbon and has loops, all around, for attaching pacifiers, toys or even above a car seat.  The Jingle Cube is approximately 6" and is the perfect size for toddlers to carry around.  

The Jingle Cube is machine washable and can be thrown in the washer on gentle cycle and tumbled dry on low or can be wiped down with a damp cloth.  I love the shape of this jingle cube.  It is not your traditional stuffed toy, but a sensory toy with a purpose. These are very popular, not only on Etsy, but on many online shops. These would also make for the perfect gift for a baby shower, baby birthday or even for Christmas!

These Jingle Sensory Cubes are huggable, soft, cuddly and can be tossed and thrown, without injuring your little one.  They are a fun addition to any child's toy collection.

PowerTRC Hook and Reel Fishing Toy Play Set

How many of my readers are fishing people?  Or...better yet, how many of you are fishing people with little ones who are just a little too young to know how to use a fishing pole?  One day, your little fishing buddy will become old enough to enjoy the fishing trips and the excitement of catching his first fish.

In the meantime, when you are out fishing, how about taking this cute Hook and Reel Fishing Toy Play Set with you so your child can be 'just like daddy' or just like 'mommy!'

This Hook and Reel Fishing Toy Play Set is by PowerTRC and sold by Genius Buy on Amazon.  It consists of 3 very colorful hard plastic fish and 1 hard plastic duck, as well as a reel.  The fishing reel has a plastic hook on the end of the line and allows your child to hook his first fish!  The reel can rotate, to reel up the fish and is perfect for those who love playing in the water, such as bath time or out in the kiddie pool.

When your child is done playing with the Hook and Reel Fishing Toy, he still has the colorful yellow duck, that he can play with during bath time (or anytime!) If you are lucky enough to have a kiddie water and activity table, set the fish in the water and watch your little one have fun, trying to catch the fish.

The fish are very vibrant and colorful, with colors of purple and red, orange and purple, with the reel with colors of bright yellow and blue.  It will take a little practice (and patience) to hook the fish with the pole, but who said fishing was easy?  This is an adorable fishing toy play set that also comes packaged in a colorful box, showcasing the fish and the reel.  The box mimics the colors of the fish and is a great gift for Christmas, birthday and for those aspiring fishermen!

PowerTRC Save Penguin Ice Breaking Game

A simple, yet fun game for all ages, this Save The Penguin Ice Breaking game will ensure tons of fun for all ages.  The object of the game is to NOT let the penguin hit the ground, while you and other players, take turns spinning the spinner, to see what color of 'ice' to hit.  The first player to allow the penguin to hit the ground is the loser.

This game consists of a spinner, two plastic chisels and the ice breaking game. This is a game that is very easy to play and will have your toddler (and grown ups) wanting to play more.

For those who are a little younger (12 months -24 months), they will more than likely see the fun in hitting ALL the plastic ice pieces and just playing with the penguin!  Even for those who are at this age, it's fun to watch them just chisel away at each piece and watch them giggle as the 'ice' hits the table (of floor, in some instances!)

This is a game that will sure be a hit at any party, camping or vacation trip and will make for a perfect family fun on those rainy days, when the little ones are stuck inside.  

Ok...I'm a big kid at heart and I love the simple games, that you can play for hours.  Although it's a simple game, I still had fun at trying to NOT let the penguin go through the ice.  It doesn't take much of a hit, more like a tap, when chiseling the ice and being that this is a small game that is portable, it makes it easy to take from room to room.

Keep Your Little One Busy With The Little Engineer Multi functional Musical Learning Work Bench For Kids

Each day as my grandson gets older, I can see a significant difference in his learning; crawling, walking, clapping and figuring out how certain things work. He just amazes me every time I see him doing something new. He's even figured out that my cell phone can play videos and music and it's one of those things he always wants when he sees it (I've also found my phone, locked or frozen, as well!)

When it comes to toys for babies and toddlers, anything that is musical, has lights and keeps them busy is a big plus!  These are the kind of toys that toddlers love!  One of those toys I found, that is not only musical and will keep our little one busy, but also a learning tool, is the Little Engineer Multi-functional Musical Learning Tool Work Bench for Kids by PowerTRC.

Colorful Fleece Braided Dog Toy - GidgetsHandmadeGifts

Ok...we know that we are not the only ones who are entitled to a special gift, something special or even treat ourselves to a new item.  There are many of us who have family members, who deserve something too!  No, I'm not talking about our sisters, sons, daughters...I'm talking about our fur babies!

I have two dogs and they are like family members, so much so, that they sleep in our bed, they get to go on Sunday morning car rides and even go on vacation with us!  Yes, you may say they are little bit spoiled....AND THEY EXPECT IT!

Well, how about giving your fur baby something special?  If you're dog is still in the playing stage, you must check out these unique dog toys by Gidgets Handmade Gifts Etsy Shop.  She has these very colorful braided rope dog toys, that are made out of fleece.  

I have the yellow and blue and although this braided dog toy is made of fleece, it is still woven tightly (but not too tight) and seems like a very sturdy toy for your dog.  It's soft, but at the same time, very well made.  My dogs instantly took to it and my younger dog (Mojo), decided that this was more his toy!

There are five color variations to choose from: 

     *Pink/Yellow
     *Blue/Yellow
     *Pink/Green
     *Blue/Green
     *Pink/Blue

This toy is machine washable, which makes this the perfect dog toy, as most dog toys, you cannot throw in the washer.  There are times where I just want to throw a select few of my dog toys away or throw them in a washer, but it's either not machine washable or my dog is too attached to the toy to throw it away.

I don't have to worry about this dog toy, as now, when it gets too dirty, I can wash it!  GidgetsHandmadeGifts Etsy Shop has adorable dog bandanas and dog toys to check out.  If you are a sports fan (or should I say, if your dog is a sports fan), you must check out her dog bandanas!
