Speed away with Modarri Cars

by

Speed away with Modarri cars! With Modarri cars you design, build and drive your own personal creation. These unique toy cars use a modular mix-and-match building system that allows any of the 11 pieces to be interchanged with tons of different components. There are literally BILLIONS of possible car designs for an endless hours of play. Whether you’re a kid or a grownup, you’ll enjoy playing with Modarri: it is fun to design cars, no matter what age you are. With Modarri it is all about the quick assembly, less time building more time playing.

 

The Modarri quick-assembly building system uses a small amount of retained screws (which won’t fall out) to join pieces together. Which means no lost screws, I may be most excited about that part of the cars than anything else. By using the included swivel-tipped hex tool, Modarri cars can be built in just minutes. However they can be taken apart and redesigned any number of different ways for hours. There are billions of different car designs and my son is obsessed with them. I gave him one to play with, an hour later he has redesigned a car ten different ways. Soon after he discovered I had more than one and thats when he really got excited. He said “MOM, you can do this a bunch of different ways, and with different colors!” My son has ADHD and has been playing with these cars for hours…really…hours!

 

If you have an upcoming birthday party for a boy or a girl think about the Modarri Ultimate Toy Car Party Pack! Each child will get his or her own car to build in any number of ways to play with throughout a party. Instead of spending money at a jump house kids will go home with a toy they will continue to use time and time again. This Modarri party pack ensures an unforgettable experience! With twelve cars and three extra body packs, there are millions of possible car designs at your fingertips. This is the perfect gift set for birthdays, holidays, and any kind of get-together. Trade parts, build cars, and drive custom creations – all in one box!

 

SET INCLUDES: Modarri 12-car set with 3 body packs, extra cones, 12 hex tools and endless fun!

  • Over 1 MILLION possible car designs!
  • 15 Hoods
  • 15 Fenders
  • 15 Car Frames
  • 12 Car Chassis
  • 1 Seat per Car (12)
  • 4 Wheels per Car (48)
  • 2 Suspensions per Car (24)
  • 8 Traffic Cones

These fun cars may be purchased locally at any of the 9 Geppettos toy stores, they may also be found online via their website here. The cars are very reasonably priced at $24.99 per set, with multiple car packs going up from there. To purchase or for more information visit Modarri’s website here.

Spring Break Fun with Juicy Juice!

by

Spring break is upon us and who isn’t looking for this to keep kids busy during their week or weeks off from school. Juicy Juice has a full list of fun crafts and activities to do with your kids during the break. A lot of the crafts can be up-cycled from Juicy Juice bottle tops, or juice boxes. Above is some Bottle Cap Ladybugs which are so cute and fun to make. Easy to make only needing the bottle cap, paint, and eyes.

Another fun craft you can use an empty Juicy Juice box to make a Walkie Talkie. The only items needed are an empty Juicy Juice box, construction paper and a black pen, kids will love playing with these for hours. A full list of activities and crafts may be found on Juicy Juice website here.

We love Juicy Juice’s 16 different flavors, which no sugar added, the sweetness comes right from the fruit. They have teamed up with Food Network Star Jeff Mauro to help families discover a world of flavor with our 100% juice line, inspiring kids to expand their taste palates with original recipes like these! Emmy-nominated Chef Jeff Mauro was born and raised in Chicago, where he was determined from an early age to become the funniest chef in the world. Today, Jeff is cohost of Food Network’s hit daytime show The Kitchen and the star of the network’s Sandwich King.

One of the things Jeff likes to do with his son is something I love doing with mine as well, which is cooking. From a young age I found if he helped me make it then the odds of him actually trying it were a lot higher. My child can now make my lasagna as deciduous as I do, and he loves to eat it. Spending time with kids in the kitchen is fun for them and you may even get them to try new foods. There’s no tastier way to educate kids than through cooking. From fractions to conversions, kids can learn simple and complex math equations all while measuring out ingredients and following a recipe. Make it a theme night! Have your child look at a map and pick a state (or country), then find a recipe together that might be a native or traditional dish. You can even play music from the region or decorate the dinner table with a theme. Ask your kids to help in the kitchen, you will both enjoy it, I promise.

Travel Tray as seen on Fox 5 San Diego

by

Did you catch us on Fox 5 San Diego this morning on our segment about Family Travel? I am so excited to share one of the products I found a few weeks ago called Travel Tray. How many of us mom and dads have french fries, or squished up goldfish crackers on the floor in our cars? If you don’t then you are my hero, and please come train my children! But if you are like most of us the floor of your car needs to be cleaned daily. Travel tray to the rescue!

Travel Tray was designed and made by a dad in San Diego. When he almost got into a car accident trying to help with spills in the backseat he knew he needed to do something and I am so glad he did! Travel Tray is focused on stopping spills in the car, but just as great for kids when you are on the go. Easy to clean, sturdy and designed to keep snacks handy and mess free. Travel Tray securely holds cups, bottles, snacks and food reducing messy spills!

Travel Tray is made in the USA from lightweight BPA free plastic. Refillable tray provides customization and the ability to use Travel Tray to best suit your individual needs. It retails on their website for only $14.99, I will say though if you have more than one child you will need more than one! But they offer free 2-day shipping on orders of 2 trays or more.
