GIVEAWAY
I
got my best Christmas present yesterday when my oldest daughter came home from
college. WooHoo! So I’m in a super good mood and I’m going to giveaway all the
good stuff left in my office in one big giveaway. Bonus for me? I can finally
walk through my office again.
Lazer Pegs
Let’s
start with the coolest new building toy I’ve found. It’s the Lazer Peg Sci-Fi
Kit. These are even cooler than Legos, because they light up and this one kit
makes 16 different sci-fi vehicles. You can build the light up Transatmospheric
Fighter and 15 more light up models like the All Terrain Racer, Alien Rover
Droid, and the Automaton. These kits are amazing. They include LED pegs and
construction pieces that you can see in the dark. Now I won’t guarantee that
this will keep you from stepping on little pieces in the dark on your way to
the bathroom, but maybe it will help!
Available
from Laser Pegs Retails for $39.99. There are lots of other building sets.
I love the Mythology one.
Sweet Art Edible
We’ve
got another Edible Sweet Art from Diamont/AMAV
Tell
me, have your kids ever tried to eat Play Do? You know they have (or maybe you
did as a child). Now you can give your kids a modeling dough that they are
SUPPOSED to eat. AND, guess what? It’s good for developing sensory and motor
skills – essentials for preschoolers who are developing pre-writing skills.
Today I
have the Ice Cream Maker Kit: Allows
kids to create their very own Sweet Art ice cream shop complete with serving
station
Available
at: Toys R Us, Amazon.com, Bed Bath +
Beyond, Kmart and Hobby Lobby

GIVING BACK
Today
I’d like to remind you that there are many, many agencies out there that
struggle around the holidays because folks budgets are tight due to the cost of
the holidays. So if you find you have a bit of change (or time) left after your
Christmas shopping please remember them.
