Crayola Spinaroo

Crayola Spinaroo

Children need to express themselves artistically. It is an expression of themselves that needs to have an outlet. Even kids that don’t normally show their artistic side will be enthralled with this neat toy. The colours are engaging and the variety of designs gives hours of fun. It comes with its own markers and the Crayola Spinaroo is acceptable for children as young as three years. The amount of paper it comes with is a little short, but can be replaced with regular paper. It requires batteries that make it spin, which is a novelty to kids in itself. Children of all ages will love to use the Spinaroo to make unique doodles, each one turning out different from the last.

The size of the toy is 31.5 x 4 x 26.5 cm. Compact and just right for a piece of fridge art. You are likely to have your kid’s art all over the place. They will proudly be showing it to all their friends. If you have more than one child, you may consider buying two. They will have fun comparing the beauty of their drawings. It is an easy way for kids to work with colours and improve their coordination, while having plenty of fun. This will make a great gift, but teachers would benefit from having this in their classroom as well. Teaching children to control their hands and mix colours and designs will bring out the best of their imagination and artful touch. I personally was impressed with the beauty and the abstract look. It is very impressive that even the young can handle the pens and have art worth showing off.

Cluedo Board Game

Cluedo board game by Hasbro

Cluedo is a board game where players try to find out who has murdered someone, where it happened and what weapon was used during the murder. The characters of the board game are located in an English country house named Tudor Mansion which has nine rooms (or places for murder.) There are six suspects in the game: Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Reverend Green and Professor Plum. Along with the suspects are six weapons: dagger, candlestick, revolver, rope, lead pipe and spanner. The nine rooms located in the Tudor Mansion include a kitchen, ballroom, conservatory, dining room, lounge, hall, study, library and billiard room. Located in the middle of everything is the cellar.

At the beginning of the game three cards are draw; one character, one room and one weapon. These cards represent the facts in the murder. The rest of the cards are distributed evenly among players. The game works by a player suggesting how the murder was done. He may say “I suggest it was Miss Scarlett in the study with a spanner,” other players prove him wrong. If the next player has Miss Scarlett in his hands he secretly shows her (no other players are allowed to see the card) and then it is the next players turn. The game keeps going until some says an accusation. The accusation occurs after a player has narrowed his cards down and thinks he knows all of the facts of the murder. After stating what he thinks he looks at the three cards originally drawn, if he is right the game is over. If he’s wrong he is out of the game and the game continues with everyone else.

FurReal Friends S’Mores Pony

FurReal Friends S’Mores Pony

The FurReal Friends S’Mores Pony is not just a toy, it is an interactive companion. Perfect for the child who wishes for a pet to love and befriend, the S’Mores Pony is one of the most sophisticated animated toys on the market because this adorable true-to-life toy looks, acts and sounds just like a real miniature pony.

The S’Mores Pony comes with her very own brush, halter, carrot and an adoption certificate. Innovative, battery-powered sensors built into the pony allow children to interact with her in extraordinarily realistic ways. They can use the brush to groom her soft, smooth coat or silky mane and the pony will respond by bobbing her head and blinking her eyes in appreciation. When you talk to her, she reacts by turning toward you, wiggling her ears and swishing her tail from side to side. Offer her the carrot and she sniffs your hand and makes munching sounds. The S’Mores Pony can even be “ridden.” Though she does not actually take steps, she does move up and down to simulate a real pony ride, and her hooves make galloping and clomping sounds. She also snorts, whinnies and neighs to communicate, just like a real pony. If left alone in a dark room, she will whine for attention. Children will be delighted at how life-like the S’Mores Pony is, and adults will be amazed at the technology.

The FurReal Friends S’Mores Pony stands more than a meter tall and is recommended for children ages 4 and up. Children over 36 kg should not ride this pony. Adult assembly and six D batteries are required. Batteries are not included.

LEGO City 7641 City Corner

LEGO City 7641 City Corner

LEGO City 7641 City Corner is another of LEGO’s well-planned busy scenes that children can spend hours building and more hours playing with. This set is appropriate for children 5 – 12 years of age and has a total of 483 pieces. Anyone of any age can enjoy hours of fun with or without their children as company but of course they are always welcome. It truly makes a wonderful and creative way to spend time together as a family.

The City Corner Set includes 5 miniature citizens for your city including a bus driver, a girl, a boy, a garage technician and a man in a suit. The buildings have doors and windows that actually open and close and you can seat the miniature people on the bus or have them sitting at the pizza shop. Put the bicycle in the shop or build a pizza shop, a bike or a skate shop and a bus stop complete with a bus for your citizens to ride on. Will the bus be on time?

LEGO City 7641 City Corner is a well thought out set and is impressive! I purchased it for my grandchildren and was amazed at just how busy they stayed with it for hours! I even joined in and had a great time with them. LEGO is a wonderful company with tons of great ideas and although they’ve been around for a long time they still have great quality and are durable as ever. It’s very easy and quite common for a teenager to still have their old LEGO sets that have turned into a huge collection over the years with most of the pieces still in the boxes! I highly recommend LEGO City 7641 City Corner for a great creative gift for any child or adult.
