I purchased the Crayola Crayons for Construction Paper as an addition to his art caddy.  These are fairly new so some stores might not carry them yet. The construction paper crayons are different from regular crayons.  In the past when my son would use regular crayons on construction paper you could hardly see the drawing. Since we bought him the construction paper crayons he uses the...

 I have grown up with little tikes and now being a parent of an almost 5 year old have owned at some point pretty much every toy ever made by them. I love toys! We enjoy this sandbox but there are alot of issues with it. For the price tag of $100 I feel it should not have the issues it has, some more major then others. First off, when the lid is on it does not have a complete seal on ...

Kid Connection's Construction Crew set is fun for either boys or girls. It comes with a hard hat, a hammer and other play tools. These come in handy when daddy and kid are outside in the gargage while daddy works on one of his projects. Instead of my daughter messing with his tools she can use her tools to pretend to help him. This helps me out and gives me alone time to clean the house or ...

Best Buy 205mm x 300mm Construction Paper is the brand I usually buy for my daughter's Art subject. Occasionally, they are being assigned to bring construction papers in school for some artworks. When it comes to colored paper, these different colors of construction papers are much easier to handle than an ordinary art paper because it is quite hard than an art paper. My girl does not find ...

The excitement starts when the big waves begin to move. * A 500 sq. m. Kid...

When Sebastian gets out his Q-BA-MAZE construction toy I know I won't see him for a while.   Like most  children, Sebastian loves to build things then take them apart.  If he could he would try it on my car.   I knew right away that this is a toy to play with when Madelyn (almost 2) is not around.  With small marbles and pieces that stack, the combination ...

My daughter just received Tinker Toys for her birthday!  I remember these toys from when I was a kid and they were so great to play with.  The Tinker Toys still have the same great wood construction and now they have added some plastic pieces to enhance the set...I think the plastic is new because I do not remember this from when I was a kid.  I think the Tinker toys are awesome ...

My husband works in construction and frequently has to haul scrap materials from the site onto his truck.  He owns the Jackson construction-grade wheelbarrow, which has a 6 cubic foot capacity. This wheelbarrow works really well for him.  It is a little on the pricey side, but it comes with a tough steel-reinforced bed that makes it extremely durable.  The wheels are mounted wit...

I'm in the construction trades and one of my most useful tools is my ProjectCalc.  This calculator makes it easy for me to figure material for my jobs.  You can get this at all the popular home improvement stores, like Lowe's and Home Depot. Not only does it work as a standard calculator, but I can also calculate the amount of material I need in all these materials: Bricks &am...

We never seem to have enough electric outlet's available when it's time to decorate the outside of the house for Christmas.  A couple of years ago we found the Yellow Jacket 5-outlet outdoor adapter that gives us an extra five outlets off one extension cord.  This also helps us operate a number of decorations using only one timer to turn the lights off and on.  We also us...

I got these sanding screens when I realized I was going thru tons of sandpaper on my most recent remodel project. Until now I had always used a 3M product for this but I got these when I couldn't get my normal brand of product. They come in a three pack one medium and two fine screens, which is one of my major gripes. I would much rather have single grades in the pack instead of an assortme...

I've been around musical instruments all my life having been raised in a family where impromptu "concerts" and get together's was the norm rather than the exception. The only thing we have more of in my family than entrepreneurs, are musicians and almost every Aunt, Uncle and cousin either plays one or more instruments and/or sings.   I grew up in a home where both my mot...

I remember growing up playing with Lego blocks. When I had my own child, I also gave her Lego/Duplo blocks to play with. But, there is something more affordable than the Lego and it is the Megabloks. This block-toys looks like Lego with a more cheap price tag. It is also made of plastic which is safe for children and toddlers.The blocks are in huge sizes so small children will not be able to in...

My son kept on seeing these commercials for the icoaster over Christmas last year. I refused to pay $79.99 for the set; which was the price I saw it in Walmart for. While in Costco buying finger foods, I spotted the iCoaster end-of-aisle display and it was on sale to boot! The iCoaster is a building set. Using towers of varying heights and tracks, you build a roller coaster that you can roll a ...
