Polarn O Pyret Raingear

July 7, 2014 by Samantha 2 Comments

There are tons of clothing lines out their for kids. The trick is to find a favorite couple of lines and brands and stick with them. Make sure they are reasonably priced, long lasting, wear well, and available easily.With these simple outlines you are well on your way to a happy and fashionable childhood. One such line of clothing which is one of our favorites is Polarn O Pyret.

kids rain gear

Polanrn O Pyret started with the simple mentality of “We make the best children’s clothes in the world.” They have backed this mentality for years and hopefully many more.

WE were given the opportunity to try out of os their rain ware including a rain coat, pants and boots. All of which performed quite well in our stress test or as some may know it a rainy day at school. The rainy days at school are usually attended by a plethora of children in rain garb but the real trick is to remember to bring home the coats and umbrellas once the sun pokes out. This is easy for Little Man in his new Polarn O Pyret rain outfit because he loves the bright colors and basic pattern. He is actually looking forward to the next down pour just to stomp around in the puddles.

Bumble Bee Transformers Costume

June 30, 2014 by Samantha 6 Comments

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest. Please see “Disclose” tab for more info.

How do you plan to celebrate the new Transformers movie? Yeah- it’s a big deal in our house.

On those long, boring summer days, why not bust out the dress up/costume box and let the kids go nuts? From princesses to dinosaurs to Transformers and more, there are all kinda of fun costumes your kids can choose from. Now is also the time to fish for ideas for Halloween costumes as well. Get an idea of what the kids are really into and will want to be for Halloween.

Without the “full gear” on top- just the basic outfit

Little Man (like his Dad) loves robots, and Transformers have to be some of his favorites. His absolute favorite of the Transformers is the silly but tough Bumblebee. So this was his pick for costumes this year, so far. We had the pleasure of giving the new Transformers costume a try from Halloween Adventure. Number one- shipping was quick and packaging of the costume was perfect. No damage at all. Secondly, Little Man loves the costume. Ever since first laying eyes on it, he loves the robot arms and the way the body suit makes him look like a robot without the bulk of bigger costumes. There are circuit and wire patterns which go along with the arm cannon, chest and mask. The arm cannon, mask and chest plate are all made of a light yet durable plastic while the body suit is a spandex type material which is form fitting but not very tight. Every so often he likes to dress up in a costume and spend the day as that character. Sometimes a monkey, there used to be a dinosaur he would dress up as regularly, now I wouldn’t be surprised if that character is Bumblebee. This costume follows in the line of ever popular Transformers from the Official trailer for the new movie. The Bumblebee Transformers Deluxe costume retails for $39.99 but is on sale often so be sure to check it soon.

Fun With Colors App

June 29, 2014 by Samantha 1 Comment

There are a ton of apps out there aimed at little ones and have a color theme. Today we are looking at one with a unique look and creative flash that makes learning fun and easy. This app is called Fun with Colors.

This app is geared toward pre-schoolers, and is great fun for little ones through any age because of its variety of content. Based on “Weiß weiß Bescheid” by Paul Köntopp, a German book about color and painting, this app has a different look to it that must be seen and has a real world feel but still silly and cute.

The book centers on the adventures of paint as does the app. The app actually has the ebook included in it. The app is broken up into three parts- ebook, paint, and play components, each of which is great on its own. The ebook is a fun story of paint and its adventures. The paint portion has the child learn how to mix well with others then enjoy the beauty of differences and how bringing them together can be a truly beautiful event.
