Roominate #Review and Playdate!

I'm excited to tell you about a new product that came across my email recently!

Roominate is an award-winning, stackable and customizable building set.  It contains a motor and light circuit, modular pieces and universal joints.  There are ENDLESS possibilities as to what you can do with the Roominate pieces.  

We had a playdate with our Roomniate goodies!  I opened all 3 boxes and mixed them up.  I put the same amount of pieces into 3 different containers, but gave each child the makings of a "fan."

I sat the kids down and gave them instructions.  I told them they could build whatever they wanted with the pieces they had.  They were allowed to trade/take/give pieces to one another with permisson.  All children had access to the walls and paper, but my 4 year didn't have eyes for anything other than the Roominate pieces, so he let the two older kids use all the walls.

They got building and BOY did they have fun!

I took a couple videos of the kids because they were just too cute with these things!  SO engaged.  So creative and so QUICK to figure things out!

The Roominate Studio retails for approximately $29.99.  This is a 70 piece set, with 4 wall/floor panels, 24 furniture pieces, 16 connectors, a motor, switch, battery pack, screwdriver, doll, pet and 20 sheets of craft paper. 

The Roominate 3-in-1 Helicopter set retails for approximately $19.99.  This comes with 24 furniture building pieces, 12 connectors, 2 arches, a switch, motor, battery pack, screwdriver, doll and pet.

Our guest has already asked his mom for more sets of these!  My kids have been playing with them non-stop and haven't created the same thing twice yet ;)  I'm a happy mom and my kids are happy too.  What a great, educational and quality product that stretches my kids' imaginations.

*Disclaimer: I was given the 3 sets pictured above in return for hosting a playdate using the Roominate products.  I was also given a gift card for Playdate materials.  All opinions expressed here are entirely my own and may differ from others'.

Furby Boom #Review

If you have a child who is 6+, I'm sure you've heard of a Furby Boom!

If not, I'm here to tell you about it!

Remember the Furbys from 20 years ago? Well, think of that but totally sooped up!

This Furby interacts with you just like past Furbys, but it does SO much more!

Not only does it come in many different fun colors and patterns, it has cool digital eyes and 5 new personalities.

The coolest feature of this Furby, is it interacts with the new FREE Furby Boom app!

On the app, you can name your Furby and it will always remember it's name from then on.

You care for your Furby by showering it,

 feeding it, giving it xrays when it's feeling under the weather and it will even go to the bathroom on a toilet!

Not only do you take care of your Furby on the app, but you earn eggs and they hatch into Furblings you can name too!

Furby runs on 4 AA batteries.

You can purchase Furby for an approximate retail price of $64.99 at retailers nationwide.

Amazon.com has some pretty great prices on Furby Boom and if you have Amazon Prime, it's free shipping!

The Zelfs #Review and #GIVEAWAY!

*Disclosure: I was provided with a "The Zelfs" in exchange for my review and to host this giveaway.  All opinions expressed here are entirely my own and may differ from others'.

 Do you see this adorable little guy?!  This a Zelf doll.  They are incredibly cute and will keep your child entertained for hours!  They encourage your child to "Love yourzelf!" So cute!!!!

 As you can see, the main attraction of these is the hair.

 My daughter LOVES to do hair on anyone, so when she got her hands on the Zelf doll, she immediately went to town!

 Each Zelf comes with a brush and some hair clips.

 Some finishing touches going on here....

 And "Ta-Da!!!"  Her masterpiece!
