Plushcraft Rainbow Pillow Review and Giveaway

The wonderful people at Orb Factory sent Boo a fun Back-to-School activity!

She was delighted with the Plushcraft Rainbow pillow kit.  

The Plushcraft kits allow kids to create a pretty pillow with no sewing required.  It was really great as she was able to do it from start to finish on her own, allowing for a real sense of mastery!

It is basically a paint by number but using cloth pieces.  The kit comes with a pre-filled plush pillow that has numbered circles on each.  Each numbered circle has a slit in it. Using the plastic stylus that comes with the kit you place a piece of the fabric, in the colour that corresponds to the number, over the hole and push the fabric in. The stylus is blunt so there is no risk of injury and. The fabric is then held in the correct place (though if you make a mistake it can be pulled out and fixed)

One great feature of this kit is the pillow can be all at once or in stages in a number of settings.  It is easy to put away and continue at another time.

Boo really enjoyed doing the kit (and has been begging for more.) The finished product is now proudly displayed on her bed

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

Back to School means back to the morning rush.  With 5 girls (4 with hair that needs brushing) one major tasks is getting everyone's hair done in time to get to school.  While brushing their hair I have often dealt with  lots of tears - the curlier the hair, the greater the complaints!  Working through tangled hair takes lots of  time and even more patience for all of us.

But then .... we discovered Knot Genie which allows us to brush hair efficiently without the tears.

The Knot Genie's unique and genius design with different length, semi-flexible bristles allows the brush to glide through hair unraveling knots without pulling at them.

Boo has very long hair and with just a couple minutes of brushing it is transformed from:

 to:

Knot Genie is a great product for kids with Sensory Processing Disorder as they tend to have difficulty with having their hair brushed which is minimized with these brushes

Knot Genie comes in 2 great sizes - the Original ($19.99) and the Teeny ($14.99).  The Teeny is perfect for little hands to use and to throw into a swimming or overnight bag.  As well, they recently released a new brush, the Supreme ($22.99.) The Supreme is like the Original but they have added a handle.

Currently if you sign up to be a Knot Genie VIP here they will send you a $5 coupon for use on their site

Knot Genie has been kind enough to offer an Original Knot Genie for one of my readers so be sure to enter below.
