PlaSmart Makes Play More Than Just Fun

     If you've followed me for any length of time, you know that I love toys and games that are more than just fun. The best way to get your kids to learn is by engaging with them and having fun. Which is exactly how PlaSmart fits into this.


PlaSmart Makes Play More Than Just Fun

    The Smartivity® Series by PlaSmart inspires enjoyable learning through innovation, discussion and questioning. The toys in this series help children use STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) ideas to develop practical, creative and even analytical intelligence, all through play. How cool is that?


Mechanical Xylofun Music Machine

    In about ninety minutes, your children can be making their own sweet music with the Mechanical Xylofun Music Machine. This DIY set includes two hundred and eight pieces that your child will assemble and then be able to make music by turning the crank.


    It will teach your son or daughter about vibrations, gears, and ratchet pawl mechanisms. It's not just a build it and play toy either. They can then mix the pegs up, to create different music, again and again. Pretty sweet right??



Fantastic Optics Kaleidoscope 

    If you have about forty-five minutes, then you and your children have time to create your very own kaleidoscope. PlaSmart's Fantastic Optic Kaleidoscope comes with one hundred and thirty-one pieces that can be assembled to make your own visual wonder. It teaches children about optics of mirrors and reflections, as well as the mixing of colors and changing shapes. Liam and I both love kaleidoscopes and could stare into them for hours! 



More Fun from PlaSmart Smartivity Series

    These are just two examples of the ingenuitive toys from PlaSmart. You and your kids can also create a Super Duper Propulsion Car, a Pump It Move It Hydraulic Crane, and a Roller Coaster Marble Slide. To see them all and choose which ones you have to have, head to PlaSmart. Easter will be here soon, and these fun toys would be a wonderful addition to any Easter basket.

More Fun From Goliath Games

     We just got some more fun from Goliath Games. Liam was stoked because they came just in time for Friday Family Game Night! These games brought tons of giggle and even better, they helped us to work on our hand eye coordination. Let's take a look!


More Fun From Goliath Games

    We're always on the look out for new games to add to our repertoire. I really love hands on ones that aren't just fun, but also help my son work on things like his fine motor skills, hand eye coordination and so on. That's part of the reason I was happy when I saw the games Liam pulled out of the box. 



    He got Doggy Doo, Let's Go Fishing, and Mr. Bucket. These classic games have been fun for generations of kids, and now your kids can enjoy them too. Doggy Doo is better than ever, so let's break them down!


The All New Doggy Doo

    In all honesty, I never got Liam the original Doggy Doo game because it was too messy. My friend had it for her kids and he played with them, and if you remember the old game, you'll remember the mess. That's no longer an issue because Goliath Games made some much needed changes.



    The all new Doggy Doo game is better than ever, and MESS FREE! You now feed doggy a food pellet that isn't messy and much easier to use! The game also teaches kids responsibility in a funny way. When Doggy Doos they scoop it up with the doo shovel, and place it in the game receptacle. I love how Goliath Games is teaching our kids to clean up after their fur family! 

    Liam loves the fart cards and he laughs every time Doggy toots! It really is hysterical. He also enjoys that Doggy looks like his sweet Josie Joy! Your kids are going to have a blast with this game, and since there's no mess, its a win win for you!



Let's Go Fishin' (Inside!)

    One of our most beloved past times is fishing. However, it's not something we can do at the moment. (Roll on Spring!) Since we can't fish at our favorite ponds, we can now fish right in our living room. Let's Go Fishin' is the classic from our childhood. Cute little fish swim around in the pond, and kids have to catch them on their poles. 

    As it spins the fish open and close their mouths, and kids have to get their poles in there at the right time to land that whopper! It comes with four poles, and hours of fun. 



    This game is perfect for working on their hand eye coordination in a fun and engaging way. It's prefect for the home, classroom, or even therapy clinic. You can also use it to teach your child colors, and simple addition too. But best of all, you can spend time laughing and having fun as a family!

Good Ol' Mr. Bucket!

    Goliath Games and Pressman Toy bring us the classic Mr. Bucket game. Kids chase Mr. Bucket around and try to get all of their colored balls in his mouth. But beware, as he moves, he also spits the balls back out! 



    This game is perfect for getting the sillies and wiggles worked out in kids. (Or as I like to call it, Operation Wear Them Out.) It teaches kids colors, and work on their fine motor skills, as well as their hand eye coordination. However, they just think they're behaving a blast!
