Review:

Ok, I admit.  I am a Nancy Drew FANatic.  I read nearly all of her adventures in my youth, some as an adult and I have played (repeatedly) almost ALL of the PC games!  I watch for the new ones and try to get them whenever I can.  Although I don't have the time to play as often as I would like, I do play frequently and get a bit aggravated if interrupted during a game.



When offered the chance to review (play for hours) the newest game out - I was hesitant. . . no, to be honest I believe I nearly begged for the chance but that is beside the point.  I love the games and often play them over and over.  I am not great at the Senior mode even with repeated play so I still play in Junior with the extra hints and helps.  



In Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness I once again began my adventure in Junior mode and fought valiantly through each puzzle along the way.  With frequent distractions I have not yet made it to the end but have made it to what I would consider about half way through the game play so far.  I love the mini puzzles and will sometimes go back and play them over and over when stuck during the game or even when finished with the full game play.  



I love that with every Nancy Drew pc title that Her Interactive puts out I never get bored.  As I previously said, I have played nearly all of the games and every one brings new puzzles, new challenges, new exciting characters and more great adventure.  This newest installment does not disappoint.  With intriguing characters and edge of my computer seat action, I am kept interested and still guessing "who done it" through most of the game.



I highly recommend Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness to all PC gamers, mystery lovers and those who enjoy a challenge that keeps you on your toes and coming back for more!

Check out the new Toy that has everyone excited! Kendama Review & Giveaway #kalebkendamaco

The Kendama is a traditional Japanese toy which consists of the “Ken” (handle) and the “Tama” (ball),  which is connected by a string.  The two extending sides of the kendama are concave cups, with one end smaller than the other. The larger cup is called the ōzara ("big cup") and the smaller cup is called the kozara ("small cup"). There is another, even smaller cup, called the chūzara  ("center cup") at the bottom of the ken. The Kendama tricks are done by variations of juggling the ball in the three cups spiking the ball with the Ken spike, and balancing both in new creative ways. Mastering the Kendama takes practice, focus, patience, and creativity.

So there you have it, readers! The Kendama is anything but a boring toss and catch game…and it goes to show

that sometimes the simplest games (sans lights, batteries, and sound effects) provide the most fun of all. Here’s to hundreds more years of good old fashioned fun with the Kendama.

Review:

All I can say is that the "beginner tricks" are more advanced that I can do - I thought I was doing great being able to "catch" the ball on one of the side cups - I got so excited.  Then, I watched the video on the Kaleb Kendama website and was in awe of the amount of fun tricks that the boys in the video could do.  I definitely am a novice compared to them but still find it fun - more fun even than Yo-Yo or Hacky Sack (yep, I'm showing my age!).



Now, for quality - the Kendama from Kaleb Kendama is solid wood with nice painted swirly surface - striking in style and color - I love the variety and selection of designs available.  After some use there are nicks and scratches in it but nothing that takes away from the look or use of it.  Overall I find it to be of good quality, string in strong and great for many, many hours of play and even better - it comes with a replacement string.  There is a video on the website that shows you how to replace the string step by step.



A fun new game that my 14 year old son, 10 year old daughter and 7 year old daughter all love to try to catch the ball on one of the three different size cups.  Now that we have seen the video of tricks, we are all trying to increase what we can do with our Kendamas and also see who can get a new trick first.



Kendamas are a great way to entertain kiddos, youth and even adults without electronics.  It also gets them up and moving and having fun alone or in a group.  I highly recommend this toy for kids of all ages ~ good for home or travel.  Personally I think it would make a great group activity too!

Now for the FUN - A Giveaway!

Kaleb Kendama has generously offered to provide the followers here on Mom Loves 2 Read with a Giveaway of 4 Kendamas!  4 separate winners will get to choose a Kendama from Kaleb Kendama website of their choice.  Winner must be 18 or older and have a valid US address.  All entries will be validated - winner will have 48 hours to reply and claim prize.

Here is what my family thinks about K'NEX toys . . .



As a product reviewer for K'NEX toys, I have found my inner child jumps for joy when the doorbell rings and it is a new box of K'NEX toys to play with review.  Putting together fun and sometimes fantastical gadges, vehicles and made up thing-a-ma-doodles with my kids is something that is both fun and special to

me.  Spending time deciding on a design, figuring out which pieces to connect where and whether or not the final product looks like we planned is an activity my kids and I all enjoy.  Here are some of the sets we have been enjoying . .

What fun to use our imaginations to create something fun out of little pieces of K'NEX - personally I had lincoln logs and tinker toys as a kid and loved them - K'NEX are way more fun that those ever were!  So, what will YOU be creating this Holiday Season?  Our next idea is to make a Christmas Tree out of K'NEX!

Find great teaching aids from UI School Supply like the game Qwirkle! #review #sp

With school now in session, it is that time of year again to think about how we as parents, grandparents and teachers can aid our young students in learning at home as well as at school.  One of my favorite ways to have my children continue "learning" on weekends and school breaks is to play interactive games.  I love to

find games and toys that are not only fun, but also teach them critical thinking and have educational value.



One of our favorite games is called Qwirkle.  I found Qwirkle on the UI School Supply website along with many other great teaching aids.  Qwirkle is a fun game for kids of all ages that is easy to play.  Children, and adults, match colors and shapes, but this game also
requires tactical maneuvers and well-planned strategy. Players each earn points by
building rows and columns of blocks that share a common shape or color.
It is on the order of dominoes yet is easy enough for even preschoolers to play.



I love that Qwirkle can be played by 2 to 4 players from a family or even a small group of children in a classroom environment.  It is fun for every player.

Review:

We love it!  It is such a fun game that the whole family or a group of kids can play together and have fun thinking, laughing and having a blast.  All you need is some fresh batteries, a group of people (at least 2) and quick thinking to start an afternoon or evening of fun and laughter playing Tapple.

Start by pressing the timer, make sure to have a word in mind that fits the "theme" on the card, then GO - each person has only a few seconds to tap the letter of their choice from what is left available, say the word that fits the theme and pass the timer on to the next player - make sure to say it out loud before the timer goes off or you are out!

My girls love this game - even the youngest who is only 6 can play - we just make sure to add a little more time or coach her to think ahead and plan her word - such fun!  A random theme is chosen - for example "In the Zoo" or "Around the House" - then each player must quickly think of a word that fits that theme before time is up - tap the letter it starts with - say the word "Aligator" or "Stove" out loud and pass on the timer to the next person.  Each letter word used, means another letter is out for the next person - it gets harder and harder when the main letters are all taken!

A great game for ages 8 and up - or as I stated even younger can play with a bit of adult help.  A wonderful way to get children's minds working and still have fun too.

FLASH GIVEAWAY INFO!

I have 1 additional game that I can Giveaway to a reader here on Mom Loves 2 Read - since the winner's info is due TODAY - I'm going to make it super simple - just comment below this post telling me who  you would give the game to or play it with - AND email me your mailing info to Susan @ MomLoves2Read@gmail.com - of those who do BOTH - I will use Random.org to choose a winner by 9pm CST tonight!

{Review} Live Colors App for iPad & iPhone ~ an interactive journey with colorful fun

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 

A very cute coloring app targeted at  preschool aged kids. It  will help
to develop children's talents: to inspire confidence and creativity,
develop motor activity; teach about the correlation among colors, and
the process of creating new ones.



Key features:



— The most simple and handy interface

— Eye-candy graphics

— 20 animated coloring pages

— Soundtracks recorded by professional actors

— In-game help to mix the colors in the palette

— Color the picture by template or conjure it free-hand

Initially only 6 basic colors are available in the app. Kids can mix
colors in a mixing tray endlessly discovering various tones.









Purchase Live Colors on iTunes



The app is featured in 7 countries in the category Ages 5 & Under > Best New Apps & Game




Review:

My kids all love to draw.  On my Kindle Fire and iPad Mini I have apps for them to draw and paint when we are waiting for appointments or similar times.  Of the Apps I have tried and my children have used, I must say that I do like Live Colors best for young children.



Live Colors gives the user the basic 6 colors to start with, but also includes a mixing "tray" where they can learn to mix different color combinations.  Yes, they can mix Red and Yellow to make Orange, but also, can then add some White to make a lighter Orange, or Black to make it darker, or add in some Blue or Green to see what color they can come up with.  I love the variety and fun they can have mixing up their own unique colors to make pictures that are fun and unique.  Yes, I personally tried this and had a little too much fun mixing colors!



The coloring pages that are already provided have fun animations and character voices to further engage younger children and entertain and teach as well.  Overall I found this to be a fun and educational App for young ones to play and learn with.

{Product Review} The fun way to teach manners ~ Table Manners Cards

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Table Manners Cards

Imagine teaching table manners without the nagging and prodding.

We did and came up with one deck, two games and numerous applications for these humorous but respectful, table manners cards.



They:

• address table manners in the moment they

occur.


• motivate the entire family through friendly competition and reward.

• provide engaging fun with purpose.



Parents will like:

• the durable, laminated cards and convenient drawstring bag.


• the special “Note to Parents” card providing suggestions for maximizing the games’ success.


• access to our website where customers can find free downloadable sticker charts and coloring pages.

• the customizable blank thumbs-up and thumbs-down cards.

• it comes in an eco-friendly 100% cotton, washable drawstring bag.

• Recommended for ages 4 and ups.





My Review:

Table Manners Cards can be used for any number of people and can be used at home or while eating out, or even at family get-togethers. The cards are small enough to be practical at the table
or can be to be tossed into a bag when on the go to grandma’s or a
restaurant.  They make dining in or dining out fun as well as a great learning tool to teach young children and older ones as well what good table manners are, and how to use them properly.  A great tool for teaching, but also fun for everyone.  Instead of a lecture on good manners, play a game!  Great for families of any size!

{Review} Lots to do in Line at DISNEY ~ the perfect entertainment for waiting in line!

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links:

 

How many times have you had to wait in line with kiddos, only for them to turn from "perfectly behaved angels" into cranky little terrors?  Not to mention how aggravating it can be for adults to wait in line patiently, but then to deal with bored and frustrated kiddos can turn a fun family vacation into a nightmare.



Well, author Meredith Lyn Pierce has come up with a unique and fun way to entertain not only the kids but the adults too while waiting for a ride at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.  She has taken the annoying

waiting in line and turned it into a fun adventure just waiting to happen just by
using Disney’s own visuals to create two books packed full of games for every ride
line in each park.  And the games are made so that even younger children can play along!

Lots To Do In Line Disneyland 2nd Ed.



contains 1,100+ engaging questions that
will have the whole family hunting for the answers. There are 90 in-line
hunts for hidden queue treasure buried deep in the wait plus park-wide
scavenger hunts for each of the parks. If you run out of questions in
a line, there are even 22 collections which will have you scrutinizing
your surroundings and even fellow guests to gain points. You need not
have a vast knowledge of Disney Trivia to play. In fact, if you can
recognize Mickey and Minnie you are all set. All of the answers can
be found only in line at Disneyland.








Lots To Do In Line Walt Disney World 



contains 1,282 questions including 109 in-line
hunts listing over 1,850 items to find. Each of the four parks also has a park-wide
scavenger hunt. There's even a "still growing" list of animals on the Tree of Life with 138 entries.
Again, if you run out of questions in
a line, there are 22 collections for points anywhere. You need not
have a vast knowledge of Disney Trivia to play. In fact, if you can
recognize Mickey and Minnie you are all set. All of the answers can
be found only in line at Disneyland. 





It is unfortunate that my family's Disney trip this year had to be cancelled, but I'm still hopeful that in the near future I can still manage to take us all to Disney World - so I'll be hanging on to these books for that future time - and even better - there is also an APP that can be downloaded right to your iPod or iPhone so you don't have to pack the book along if you don't want!  But I love that these books are just the right size to fit in a backpack and are great to entertain the whole family in those long lines or even just taking a break from the busy day - there are even games that can be played while eating or resting along the way!  



Not only that but instead of each kid playing electronic games or listening to music with earphones, the whole family can participate and enjoy the games together - after all that is the point of a family vacation - to spend more quality time interacting together!  You can even have teams - kids against adults - boys against girls - or mix it up with Dad/daughters against Mom/Grandma/sons - there is a ton of ways to creatively have fun even during the not-so-fun moments!



Here are some great links to find out more about Lots to Do In Line: Walt Disney World  ~ Lots To Do In Line Disneyland and author Meridith Lyn Pierce:

 one DiDi iPad-powered bear + Magic Toys

 and one TuTu
iPod/iPhone-powered bunny + Magic Toys

*Please note that
we provide the plush DiDi and TuTu toys and their free iTunes applications, but

Now, about TuTu and Didi ~ 

TuTu is a soft, plush toy enhanced with our powerful software and Magic Touch™ add-on toys that kids use to feed Tutu, brush her teeth, give her milk and play games.

Watch a video on TuTu here and share her on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest below.



TuTu comes with:

• TuTu plush doll


• Magic Touch™ apple, carrot, milk, toothbrush and ring


• App with registration code

DiDi is an iPad powered toy for kids preparing for elementary school. We think you'll love DiDi because:

1. 
   
   
   Feel Good About Playtime - DiDi’s games and storybooks are fun, yet educational.
   
   


2. 
   
   
   Real Toy, Real Play - Unlike an app,
   kids can bond with DiDi because he is a soft teddy bear they can hold
   and feed with our proprietary accessory toys.
   
   


3. 
   
   
   Tamagotchi Experience - Care for DiDi to earn prizes and unlock new games and books.
   
   

Every DiDi comes with a DiDi plush toy, 5 Magic Touch™ toys, and a copy of the DiDi app to run his games and books.

Do you kiddos like to play on your iPhone? iPod touch or iPad?  Do you always know what games or apps they are interacting with?  What if you could turn your device into a fun and unique toddler/preschool friendly playmate?  At the same time, protecting your device in a cuddly friend?



Well, here is your chance to try it out.  Roam and Wander have created these adorable interactive cuddly friends for little ones to love.  TuTu is an adorable pink plush rabbit that children can feed, care for and love.  She is powered using an iPhone or iPod touch - with the TuTu app (free with TuTu) downloaded.



DiDi is a cuddly teddy bear that uses an iPad or iPad mini with app (free with DiDi) to make a fun interactive friend that most children will absolutely love!  My 6 year old daughter is constantly playing with TuTu (she also plays with DiDi but I don't leave my iPad mini inside DiDi).  She loves to be able to give her a drink of milk, feed her and brush her teeth.  I have tried several times to find TuTu and DiDi to test them out for this review/giveaway only to find her hiding in her room with them!  She really loves them!



My only issue is that since these adorable toys/apps are still new, there are not many games/books yet for DiDi - but with the Kickstarter Campaign - it will have many more features coming soon - so once you have DiDi and TuTu - any updates will add new and exciting games, books and more!



TuTu and DiDi are great for back to school, holiday gifts, birthdays or traveling!  TuTu retails for only $39.99 and DiDi will retail for $59.99 - BUT right now - with the DiDi Kickstarter campaign - you can purchase TuTu and DiDi for a HUGE discount! But hurry - the Kickstarter ends on May 21st and they will both go back to full price!
