"My First" Magformers Review and Giveaway
Magformers has just increased their fun factor by releasing a great new line of their amazing toy. The "My First" line is geared towards preschool children. The full "My First" line is now available on the Magformers site.
My kids got to try the 54 piece set; it includes a nice variety of shapes in 5 bright opaque colours.
We were very pleased to discover that the new line includes the same strong, fully embedded magnets as the regular Magformers . So they can be combined with the original sets, for hours of entertainmemt
The "My First" 54 piece set comes with:
The set also includes a big set of play cards! The 29 different cards are geared towards a range of abilities and skills. They start with teaching colours, shapes, names of fruits and animals. Some sheets have cutouts for children to place the corresponding piece in. The more complex sheets provide an image of a finished product for the child to build. The cards help work on many great skills helping children develop form constancy, visual figure ground, visual sequencing, visual closure as well as spacial awareness.
My girls spent hours already playing with this set. They love the strength of the magnets, which allows for them to transport their buildings and build great 3 dimensional structures.
I also have one of these great sets to give away to one of my readers.
Disclosure- I received the items reviewed as a free sample. No monetary compensation was provided. My participation was completely voluntary. All opinions are completely my own.

Magformers Wow Set Review and Giveaway
I was really excited with the opportunity to review another Magformers set (see here to see what I said last time) This is one of their newest sets -the wow 27 piece set, featuring new solid neon colours.
This set includes:
My kids love Magformers as they are simply lots of fun! I like them since they lead to lots of creative play and have lots of functional benefits.
The magnetic resistance when pulling apart the pieces while playing provides repeated strengthening of the hand muscles. This helps to improve fine motor skills and endurance. Since these have such great strong magnets children can build 3-dimensional objects, it not only works on their hands but their whole upper body strength as well.
For the kids the activity sheets only increase the fun factor, while for me they advance some fundamental skills. Working with the shapes while following the template in the instructions works on many visual perceptual skills.
My kids especially enjoyed the set of wheels in this set and instructions on how to make a variety of different cars and vehicles.
This toy has been a huge hit in our house and enjoyed by everyone. If you are looking for a gift idea Magformers provide hours of play for kids of all ages.
I am always on the lookout for deals on these great toys (as they are a bit pricy - but well worth it.) So for my Canadian readers - amazon.ca has the Magformers Rainbow Solids Clear 40 Piece Set as a deal of the day for today. The set normally $86.99 is $41.49 with free shipping for a few more hours.
I am also thrilled that I have the opportunity to give one of you this amazing set as well. I am sure that it will make the child who receives it very happy!

See Kai Run - Review and Giveaway
Boo was very excited to choose a new pair of the sneakers from See Kai Run. She selected the Florence and was not disappointed. What girl wouldn't love a pair of pink sparkly shoes! The velcro allows her to take them on and off quickly and she says they are extremely comfortable. I love that the material is breathable and the quality is great.
They sent the Diana for Cupcake and they couldn't have come at a better time as she started really walking the day before they arrived. I felt very confident putting them on her as her first pair of shoes as all of See Kai Runs shoes meet the American Podiatric Medical Association's rigorous standards for foot health and functionality and has been awarded the APMA's prestigious Seal of Acceptance.
While I keep her barefoot when indoors - the Smaller line from See Kai Run all have soft flexible soles that allow for proper development of babies feet. As well as the flexibility the durable rubber sole provides the protection kids need.
Cupcake adores her shoes, she runs to get them when the big girls are going out and often even wants to sleep with them.
I have previously reviewed See Kai Run shoes here and was excited to see what they currently have for different ages and stages.

- Big Kids/Kai - sizes 8-3 are available in whole and half sizes and come in leather, sneaker and washable runner

Kai Shoes Review
I discovered See Kai Run when I started buying shoes for Boo. I have purchased many pairs of shoes from them and have been impressed time and again with their quality and customer service. They create fun, fashionable shoes for babies until 8 year old so they are a brand that has grown with my family.
See Kai Run stood out as all of their footwear meets the American Podiatric Medical Association's rigorous standards for foot health and functionality.
I was very excited when I discovered that See Kai Run had the Ellie available in three colours. I like dressing my triplets to co-ordinate rather than in matching clothing but that is often quite a challenge. Companies tend to make two varieties in the same print but it is often difficult to find a third.

The soles have great traction which is very helpful for busy kids, climbing and running on play structures and slippery floors.
The site includes an easy to follow size chart and I found the shoes to be true to size. The shoes are great quality leather in bright exciting colours and are easy for little hands to put on and take off without adult help (this saves time and tears).
Last year they released a new line of Runners that are washable, water-friendly and breathable. Until July 1st the runners are 45% off and there is free shipping for any orders placed on the site.

BabyLit Books Review and Giveaway
I am a big believer in raising readers by starting them with books from when they are young. My girls love getting lost in bookstores or libraries. I recently came across a new company that is making cute board books for babies and toddlers. BabyLit creates cute educational board books using concepts from literary classics
I was sent Don Quixote, Alice in Wonderland and Frankenstein.
a Rafflecopter giveaway
I was sent Don Quixote, Alice in Wonderland and Frankenstein.
Alice in Wonderland explores colours using objects found in the original story. Frankenstein is used to discover body parts and Don Quixote teaches basic spanish phrases.
The pictures in the books are bright and engaging. Each one has a different educational component, but mostly they are just plain fun!
Cupcake really enjoyed reading all 3 simultaneously. She moved from one to the other exploring the vibrant pictures.
I must add that her big sisters enjoyed them too.
Babylit has been very generous in offering a giveaway for my readers as well. The winner will get to select 2 fabulous books from the BabyLit collection.
