To say that this stuff is fun is an understatement. My kids personally tested this product and boy did they love it! They painted our front walk, our driveway and also dabbled a bit on my glass front door. The paint washes away with either a good rainfall or a hose and comes right off clothes, hands, hair etc. They loved the fact that the colors were vibrant and rich. They made an excellent Hopscotch board and jumped for hours. When they were done doing that they painted my door with bright vibrant flowers. Now, be aware that Crayola also makes markers that you can draw on glass Crayola Window FX Markers (see below) with - but my kids loved the paint brush and rollers! A great summer gift that parents who don't mind a bit of mess will love.
These markers are fun for a change of pace. If you have little grandchildren that like to write everywhere but on paper, they will love these. For the faint at heart - fear not! These clean up really quickly with a window cleaner. I had fun with these myself writing notes on the door like "Happy Birthday Alex," "Yeah, Summer's Here!" and other things. If you're really creative you could do messages every time your grandchild comes to visit! This is an inexpensive and fun craft accessory!
Scientists-in-training can use this 112-piece kit for more than 100 experiments and models. The package includes detailed instructions, as well as balloons, string, marbles, straws, mirrors, and much more; your kitchen and closet will provide other materials for some of the activities. Parental supervision will help kids on the young end of the age range get the most out of the projects while keeping the mess in hand, while older kids will be able to manage on their own. Be sure to read ahead and choose carefully, as some of the experiments are one-time-only and use up the materials. But there's no shortage of choices!
Great quick craft to do with your child. Our mother-daughter
testers sat down after dinner, and said "It is just a matter of opening the box and you are on your way! No additional supplies needed. Making the mirror and frame was fast and easy, and we both enjoyed ourselves."
The mother also reported that she liked the fact that there are 2 projects.
She said that her daughter worked on one while she worked on the other. "All craft kits should be this great!"
She also noted that there was very little clean up involved and afterwards her daughter had two nice usable items to hang in her bedroom.
She summed it up as "Perfection!"
Why not give your grandchild a gift that's a fun activity too! This cool mini-file cabinet comes with 10 different paint colors and "OptiArt" stones that you can do reverse painting with. You can turn the stones into magnets and put them on your file cabinet or on your refrigerator. Our 10-year-old tester had fun making this into her own personal jewelry box that she could lock since it comes with keys. A great gift for a creative tween, tween - or yourself!
Sno-Cones aren't just for the summer, you can make them all year long. This Sno-Cone maker comes with everything you need to make delicious sno-cones. We tested this product with the flavor packs included, but they came out great, but the flavor wasn't the kids favorite. The second time around we substituted different fruit juices and boy was everyone thrilled. This became a great, healthy and fun desert!
My grandmother still wears a set of pop-together beads in "pearl." Years ago I tried to convince her to get rid of them, but she refused. When we tested these pop-together beads my daughter had so much fun she could understand why my grandmother had insisted on keeping hers. Although they don't always stay together well they are fun, colorful and you can instantly make fun funky jewelry.
This project was very easy to use and a lot of fun. Our testers had a blast making their 5 fairies and their little home. After everything was done they had fun playing house. All in all a cute, fun craft project that's very easy with little to no clean-up. These are great!
Our 4-year-old tester made 4 different balls to start
with. Although she couldn't pour the ingredients in
the mold herself she did have fun holding them in the water
until they set. The waiting time before play is brief
and the fact they glow in the dark just added to the
fun. A very easy, fun project.
This kit was so easy to do and so much fun to make three isn't enough! The soap never gets too hot so you don't have to worry about danger, and the soaps set quickly. We made these at around 4pm and they were ready for tub time. An easy and fun craft!
