Backyard Safari Toy Review from Summit toys- GIVEAWAY




Thank you Summit Toys for sending me part of the Backyard Safari Collection to review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.  

If you have not taken a moment and looked through all the gear that the Backyard Safari collection offers kids then go and take a moment.  I think it wold be called something like endless fun because they have it all.  

My box of goodies came on the perfect day.  We were getting ready to paint the church building and I needed some toys to keep my kids happy and playing instead of painting.  
  


My kids immediately took on the role of a bug finder.  My daughter put on her new safari vest and my son grabbed the bug Lazer Light Bug Vac.  The two set out for finding bugs.



The first bug hunt was a success!  The kids found some rollie polie's, a leaf bug, a couple spiders, and flies.  

I was really caught off guard at how much fun my daughter had with this.  I never thought my girly girl would want to touch bugs but she had no fear and loved it.  

My son on the other hand acted a little more scared.  He made me chuckle when he tried to catch a bug with his vac and the bug got away and his body did one of those shiver shake because he did not want the bug to get on him.  It was a good laugh.  

My son likes to play with the vac gun but anytime his sister catches a bug he runs away screaming with some fear.  I wonder if my daughter scared him and threw a bug on him but I hope his fear goes away soon. 


I hope you all enter to win some Backyard Safari toys from Summit Toys.  Use the easy rafflecopter form to enter the giveaway. Your child will have a fun time but also be learning a lot about nature in the process, a win win combination.

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
