Review: Djeco Beadazzled Dough

Y’all know I love Djeco and this kit is no different.  Beadazzled Dough  is a super fun art kit that comes with 3 designs; fish, cat and chicken. The dough is like air clay so after about a day it completely dries and your able to hang up the board. The kit comes with the exact number of beads you need for each design. I sorted the beads into bags for each design so they’d be ready to go when go to use them. I love that everything you need comes in the kit. No mess was made when we did the kit which was a great plus. The instructions are simple to follow and done all in pictures so even my 3 year old daughter knew what she needed to do without me explaining it to her.

Review: Story Volcano Island

This is such a great way to get your kiddos story telling abilities up.  Story Volcano Island  has a bunch of cards with colorful pictures.

It’s easy to play and the story is always different because you never know what card you’re going to get.

I have not come across any other toys that have Braille so it was nice to see that they have options like that. The size of the game is perfect for tiny hands and is a great educational item to use at home, in the car or at places where your little ones would get bored like the doctors. The colors are the same on the front and back so with colors you can ask for both; find the red circle. The shape it goes over are circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond and oval. The only thing about the shapes that I do not like is that they have diamond where as we call it a rhombus but that is fine. I love that the colors chosen are the colors of the rainbow. My daughter thinks is super fun and told me it’s like a tablet. Then she proceeded to go around saying it was her table; “I’m going to watch yellow!”. Since they have to push in the bubbles
