Monster Mob

Looking for a great fun and easy game that doesn't take hours to learn how to play right? This might be the game for your next family game night. Mind you this is slotted for 2 players from ages 3 and up. Yes it is that easy to learn how to play and talk about fun.

My daughter likes to take this with us when we are waiting at appointments. Of course anyone who knows our family knows we love to play games. We like to look for games different then most out there. Even though this one feels like others games it is has it's own charm that everyone seems to love right from the start, from the cute monsters to their funny names. So funny. We have even come to trying to make the faces or sounds that some of the monsters might make if they were real.

Very easy to play. Mix up cards, divide in half and turn over the cards one at a time. You have two kinds of carts. Catch cards, and Monster cards. When a catch cart up for example catch 3 the other person has three cards to come up with a catch card of their own or lose the pile of cards. If they come up with a catch card for example catch 1 during their turn then the other player has only once card to come up with a catch card or that person will win the pile. Lots of fun with lost of twists and turns. Just when you think you are winning this game of chance can turn it right around on you.

We loved this game so much it is going on our 2016 Holiday Gift Guide List.

Monster Mob can be found on Amazon.

Dinosaurs roaring to play

Even though it is just the girls at home now they like to play with dinosaurs too. My sons would have loved these when they were little.

My grand-daughter even loves dinosaurs. Especially the kind she can carry around and play with.

These dinosaurs are large but not so oversized that you can't take them with you to play with.
These dinosaurs are ready to play with right out of the box and in my 12 piece set I didn't have any doubles which I am pretty sure is for every box.

These are great for gifts, birthday party loot bags, treasure boxes. or even for sale in your store. I myself loved all of the different dinosaurs that were included. This would be a great present for any dinosaur lover.

Old becomes New

I have always wanted a portable record player. I remember my friends having theirs and being able to move it around from room to room, outside, or even bring it to another friend's house.

I had a record player and it was really nice it had disco lights on the bottom of it and it lasted me until I was a teen and I passed it on when I turned to cassette tapes. Wish I had help onto it but hey luck would have it that I would end up with my dream record player.

I love being able to listen to my old records from when I was little and a teenager. My middle daughter received one as a gift for Christmas as she is into the Beatles and pretty much all kinds of music from the 60's, so she wanted a record player to play all of the records we had bought her over the last few years.

Sometime old becomes new all over again, these are popping up all over the place. I love that this can also hook up to our iPods etc so we can also listen to the music we have in digital format, but nothing beats the sound of records. This even comes with a spacer for 45 records as well. Love this turntable and it would make a great gift for those going old again or for those who think this is new and have no clue.

This Portable turntable can be found on Amazon.

Lace and Trace

Like other ETI Toys this also comes with its own storage for on the go fun. I have to say this is the most original of their unique toys.

So far we have loved them all. If my children love a toy and use it over and over again it is a win for me as a parent.

This is easy to use just thread the tracer or just put the pieces of rope on with your hands it is your choice to make art come alive.

The board is like a big velcro screen screaming for color. There are idea cards but my daughter likes to make her own designs most of the time.

The strings are different sizes and can easily be added to with round shoelaces around the home from outgrown shoes (make sure you wash them first). Cut them into different sizes and you add more colors.

This is one of our quite bag items and it is one that is used quite often because it is one of the favorites.

The Lace and Trace kit can be found on Amazon.

Lace and Pegs

As a mother of 6 children we have done the toys everyone has, now that we are older we look for toys that are different then other toys.

I like how the Lace and Pegs kit from ETI Toys take lacing cards to a whole new level. You can lace or use pegs to make pictures that really pop.

What we love about the ETI toys we have reviewed so far is that they include their own storage as well as being portable, these are toys we can slip in our quite bag for hours of fun when needed.

This set comes with lacing cards, lots of pegs, laces, storage case, and directions with ideas.

My daughter has played with this many times.

Educational Toys Kit of Screws

I love to find toys out of the ordinary for my children to play with. Things that not every other child has because I want my children to be different.

Finding ETI Toys was really nice because they have all sorts of different kind of toys. So far all of them have come with their own storage which makes it great for a school or home setting. Also great for travel, or for what we call quite bags.

This set really opened up a whole new world for my daughter because even though we have had building toys in the past she has been the one that never got to really play with them because the boys had all grown up and moved on.

As you can see she is having a blast after a mini course in how most screws work. We give this toy and the company that makes them a thumbs up.

The Educational Toys Kit of Screws  can be found on Amazon.

I love that this comes in a nice case with 2 of each of a renaissance painting. The pictures are on both sides of the picks and there is a really nice key chain that hold a few picks inside.
