Rainbow Bandz Loom Kit
While I cannot see myself wearing a bracelet made of rubber bands that is not the only craft item this loom makes. In the magazine I saw penguins made of rubber bands on this loom that were used as zipper pulls. Now that was cute. There are lots of craft projects you can make with this loom – and I am sure as popular as it is there are going to be many new creations. I would not recommend it for a young child but a tween or teen would have lots of fun with it.
I love the fact that the pegs are so easy to realign. The cost of the Rainbow Bandz Loom Kit is very reasonable as are the rubber band refills. This kit comes with everything you need to get started and will keep you occupied for hours on end if that is your wish. Pick one up for yourself or a young person in your life. You will see just how much fun this kit is. Imagination is your only boundary.

Do You Want To Build A Snowman Kit
Sheri Ann Richerson from ExperimentalHomesteader.com is joined by her granddaughter Trinity to test the Do You Want To Build A Snowman Kit she received for review. I had a lot of fun with this and I think my granddaughter did too. It arrived just in time for our Thanksgiving celebration so I asked her if she wanted to make a snowman. She said yes and we opened the package. Now I must say I was not overly impressed with the glue goo that help everything together but I understand why it was there. There are a total of three small snowman kits – each with one sealed bag of “snow” and one sealed bag containing the eyes, nose, mouth and arms. I found the packaging a little tricky to open but my daughter ripped the bags right open. Possibly I was trying to be a little too careful. The “snow” was textured and felt really cool. I loved the way it stuck together – although you do have to press it together firmly or it will come apart but this product is made to be repositioned. You can use a little or a lot – I made a tiny snowman, she made a larger one. When we were done, we sealed everything back up and put it back in the container so she could play more on another day. Eventually I am sure she will make something that will harden and become a keepsake. Kids are only young once and this is a great way to let them create something without having a huge mess.

IPOW Chalk Markers
Sheri Ann Richerson from ExperimentalHomesteader.com is joined by Jeffrey Rhoades to talk about the IPOW chalk marker set she received for review. The one thing I like the best about these chalk markers is there is only one tip on each marker. You get 8 markers with 6mm tips and 8 separate markers with 3mm tips. Like other chalk markers, the tips are reversible so you can use a chisel tip or a bullet tip. The reason I like just one tip per marker is I am really good at not getting the lids back on these markers right and not realizing it until I am using the other tip which means I make a mess on my hands.vThese chalk markers are great for kids or adults and ideal for using on home decor projects that you might not want to leave permanent. For example, I can change the wording or pictures on my utensil holder to match the current holiday or even my mood, then just wipe it clean with a little bit of water when I am ready to change the message. They work on all surfaces including paper but you can only remove the marker from non-porous surfaces! These chalk markers have no odors, no chalk dust, they are non-toxic and mine have not leaked. These do work on skin and they do clean off easily! There are so many uses for these markers and I love the vibrant colors! These would make a great gift item too!
