Winkel

So until now, I have basically just been posting the ad straight out of the catalog into this slot and then filling in a little more. But in an effort to improve my writing, editing and publishing skills, I am now going to read the ad, and re write it in my own words and then provide a review. So here goes, for all my many many followers. (cough)! There you see Winkel in young Luca's hand, he might even be a little old for it, if flys nicely like a ball then. And bounces quite well. It is pliable plastic coloured loops that are easy to grasp. Can be refridgerated for a cooling teether as well, very versatile. Bright colors and even the youngest of children will like this. Cheers for now, don't forget to chose Carolyn Staples as your Kidsmart Rep.

Automoblox

Design your own by mixing parts! This three pack of Mini Automoblox includes a red C9 Sportscar, a blue S9 Sedan, and a green T9 Pickup. The great thing about having more than one is that you can mix and match parts and pieces to create a car of your own design! Each measure approximately 3" long. Automoblox have an excellent play value! Around age 3 they will enjoy pushing around their car and becoming familiar with it. At ages 4 - 5, they will enjoy learning that they can take apart the car and put it back together as many times as they like. By age 6 they will enjoy a sense of accomplishment as they realize that parts from all cars are interchangeable and they can create their own designs. All the while, they will be reaping the benefits of learning creative problem solving, practicing gross and fine motor skills, and visual spacial processing. Ages: 3+  $34.00  Who doesn't like toy cars, seriously, it's almost like lego.  The main body of the cars are made of wood, the rest is plastic, its all enterchangeable, so you can make like Limos, and space cars its totally groovy man.

123 or ABC Touch, feel and learn Flash Cards.

Touch, feel and learn flash cards! These double-sided cards provide an introduction to early reading and counting skills. Each card has a different texture to help identify what the child sees. The back of each card has more interactive activites for a parent and child to explore together. Teacher and kid tested!. Comes in a sturdy storage box.  $15.00.  These are fairly neat I think.  Each one has one or two spots that are a different colour, or texture then the block around it.  The questions on the back are simple, and very easy to understand.  The young kids that we had over quite enjoyed having the educational play time.  The box on the other hand didn't really stand up to very much abuse.

Hugg a Planet

Here we have Luca, playing with a Hugg a Planet, A Kidsmart Favorite! Let your child discover the world. Hugg A Planet is a great learning toy. It's a soft, squishy hands-on globe for children with over 600 places to point out. It is the perfect first globe for a child. Ages: 2+, machine washable. This is one of my favorite toys, in the whole product line, Luca loves it too. It's about a foot around. It's a few pounds, about half stuffed. Great as a Ball or a Pillow as well. And Canada and the USA are seperated into provinces and states. Great for teaching, learning, as well as relating to things your child may hear on the TV or the Radio or at their local child care facility.

Bendominoes

Bendomioes-"Dominoes with a twist!  Entertaining for the entire family!  Bendominoes match pictures instead of dots.  Perfect for the youngest player.   Includes wooden bendominoes and a cotton pouch.  Ages 3+, $21.00" plus tax.  We played these with kennedy and Katchja some kids we were babysitting the other day, its went over very well.  Both children and Carolyn and myself picked up on the game really quick and had a lot of fun playing it.  Cheers.
