Cubbie Lee Toy Company

categories: Reviews

After having a baby of their own, Zach and Sarah Lee were on the hunt for affordable, high quality toys. They didn’t want toys that kept breaking or that needed batteries; they wanted the toys to last. Coming up short time and time again they decided to take matters into their own hands. The couple created a line of toys that are wooden, affordable, and will last for a long time. Their toys are very educational and are perfect for kids of all ages.

All of their toys come with a 30 day return policy and hold a 5 year warranty! How awesome is that?! Created with sustainable harvest timber, Cubbie Lee toys pledge to have a minimal environmental impact. Cubbie Lee has a VIP Club that gives their members exclusive deals, discounts, and perks on their toys and on the orders you make. By joining the club you can even receive a 10% discount on all your orders.

The Cubbie Lee Noah’s Ark is so adorable and perfect for any child, of any age. The set includes one ark with a removable top and many different animal pieces – two of each of course. One side of the ark has open slots for matching the animal shapes and placing them into the ark; while the other side has a door that opens up, allowing your child to explore his/her imagination. The colors on the ark are my favorite part about the whole toy. The orange and yellow on the top really make it pop, and the waves at the bottom make the ark really come to life. The play time possibilities are endless with Noah’s Ark.

One downside that I have found with the ark is the shape slots on the side. These are really great for learning and having baby shape sort, so for that aspect I really like them. The aspect of them I don’t like is how low they are to the bottom of the ark. I like to store all the animals and people inside the ark when we’re not using it, but they seem to fall out very easily because of the open slots. With the slightest shake or move, at least one animal falls out. I feel this is a very minor issue because it does not affect the play or safety of my child.

My son loves the pound bench by Cubbie Lee. The bench has bright, primary colors that really make it visually appealing. My son is just 10 months old and he has a blast with it. Not only is he learning to hammer with the tool, he is also learning cause and effect – hit the knob and it drops. It is also great to have him hold the hammer with either hand; he’s learning how to grasp. He is also learning good movement and control – he can actually hold something with a long stick and hit something else with it. Its never too early to start the learning process!

The Cubbie Lee vehicle block puzzle is a little too advanced for my son right now. The quality of the puzzle already impresses me, though. I can’t wait for him to get just a little older so he can play with it. The puzzle is made up of nine blocks that make up a picture of a vehicle; creating six different pictures. I like how the blocks are painted on rather than having a sticker on each side. When kids chew on the blocks the paint is great because it doesn’t fall off like it does with the stickers. The puzzle is small and compact – just 5 x 5 x 2 inches!

 

Give Cubbie Lee Toy Company a try! Their products are so cute, affordable, and perfect for any child. Check out their website or go to Amazon and see their products. You won’t be disappointed with any of their products!

Easter Basket Ideas with Crayola

categories: Reviews

There are so many possibilities when it comes to Easter Basket stuffers. Candy, trinkets, stuffed animals…but what are some things that you child will really love? What can you use? What will be worth the money? The answer is simple: Crayola.

 

Each year I sit and think of what are the items that my kids will be thrilled to see and actually use (not end up in under the bed until garage sale season). It’s pretty hard to decide… I know that my kids are pretty artsy and once they’re a bit older might enjoy some machine embroidery designs that they can work on and hang up around the house with pride. For now, though, I’m stuck thinking of some useful toys. Here are some top ideas for your baskets.

Making my children’s Easter Baskets is honestly super exciting for me! Celebrating Easter, the resurrection of Christ, is my favorite holiday. I love talking with my children about the story of Christ’s gift of salvation. My kids love Easter because they like getting fun toys and candy. I mean, can you blame them though. As a child my favorite holiday being Easter. The joy of running around collecting eggs with my brother. Then finding your basket! It was also hidden super well and if you found your siblings you had to leave it alone! No telling, they had to find it on their own. My kids also love the thrill of locating their Easter baskets. This year Crayola has some amazing, affordable new treats to stuff your baskets with.

Crayola’s Kid-Powered Spray Art is more fun then you may image. This sprayer comes with 2 neon spray paint bottles and 2 stencil sheets. You can free form spray or use the stencil sheets. Both are fun and allow your child to express themselves with bright colors in a safe way. What is amazing about this product is you can spray on the sidewalk, grass or snow! No matter the season or where you live you can spray to your hearts content.

Crayola’s Kid-Powered Spray Kit is only $14.99 and will make any kid jump for joy when they see it next to their basket this Easter Sunday.

 

 

My children, along with pretty much every other child, loves to play with chalk. Chalk by Crayola is always made with non-toxic and high quality materials. Crayola’s chalk brings the bright colors you see in the stick onto the sidewalk with the luster and brightness you desire. This spring Crayola is pleased to introduce their new Color Your Heroes Washable Sidewalk Chalk kits. Each kits contains the perfect color palette for you to recreate the scenes and characters from your favorite movies. Now available in:

You can have your child color, in marker, to their hearts content but not staining any of their coloring, your tables/walls or their skin! The special Color Wonder markers only show up on Color Wonder paper. This magic like situation has changed art time in our home. I can let them color while I go to the dishes or laundry without worrying about a mess occurring. I have been faithfully using the Color Wonder line for a while now. Crayola has now introduced their On-The-Go packs that are perfect to keep in your car, diaper bags or purse. This way you are always prepared with a clean activity to keep your kids busy when out and about.

Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop

categories: Reviews

Finding a cloth alternative to your everyday paper products will not only save you money it will cut your carbon foot print.  Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop has a amazing selection high quality cloth products that are proudly made one at a time in the USA.

 Paperless Towels

Here’s some horrifying paper towel facts. 13 billion pounds of paper towels are used each year. That’s over 45 pounds of paper towels per person, per year. Paper towels are not recyclable since they don’t contain much fiber, making them purely waste. This waste adds up to 254 million tons of trash globally each year. These numbers alone should make you want to ditch paper towels and go paperless!

 

When I decided to make the switch to reusable products, paper towels and napkins were the first items I replaced. We use Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop Paperless Towels for everything, drying hands, mopping us spills and cleaning up my messy 19 month old after meals. As far as cleaning up messes, paperless towels are far superior to paper. I am able to clean the biggest of messes with one towel. Paperless Towels wont fall apart like paper towels do, these high quality towels will last you a long time. Simply wash and reuse!

Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop Paperless Towels are offered in Organic Cotton, Organic Cotton Birdseye, Unbleached Birdseye Cotton and White Cotton Birdseye. These Paperless Towels have a beautiful surged edging offered in a wide range of colors. You can easily coordinate with your kitchen colors or enjoy a rainbow assortment of colors. No longer will you have the eyesore of a roll of paper towels sitting on your counter.

Little Wipes

Little Wipes make a perfect eco-friendly alternative to baby wipes.  Baby wipes wreak environmental havoc since most contain plastic fibers that are not biodegradable. There is always the misconception that baby wipes are flushable. I would not recommend flushing any kind of baby wipe and risk clogging not only your toilet but the city’s sewer system. Baby wipes also contain so many preservatives and fragrances that I don’t feel comfortable touching my daughters sensitive skin. As a cloth diapering mama, it only makes sense to use cloth wipes.

Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop’s Little Wipes have so many uses. These wipes are extremely absorbent making them great wash cloths. Little Wipes also make great tissues, helping keep little noses from getting irritated from constant wiping. Little wipes are 8″x 8″ and are offered in Organic Cotton Bamboo Velour, White Birdseye Cotton, Organic Cotton and flannel.

Caring for your Cloth items

Caring for your Paperless Towels and Little Wipes is simple. I wash my towels and wipes in cold/ warm water. I also avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheet to keep the fabric absorbent. Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop also suggests occasionally adding 1/4 cup of white vinegar to your rinse cycle to prevent detergent build up and keep your towels soft.  My Little Wipes that I use as baby wipes get thrown in the wash along with my diaper laundry. Air dry your towels in the sun for it antibacterial and stain removing benefits or dry in your dryer.
