Spinmaster Aquadoodle Rainbow Colors Mat

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Spinmaster


My daughter and her friends love this and they are 4 and 5, even the older kids like this (8). The only thing I wish is that the water pin lasted longer before you have to and more water. I give it an A.

Creativity For Kids Butterfly Bedroom

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Creativity For Kids

April 01, 2006
I bought these kits for my daughter and her 2 friends as a playdate project. They are ages 5, 6 & 7 and all 3 girls loved decorating their butterflies and were so proud of their results. Our daughter's butterflies are hanging from the ceiling in her bedroom. Let them dry for a long time though. My daughter tended to clump the paint a bit and thinking it was dry, I actually smudged some of it. I am going to give this as a Christmas gift to one of her other friends.

Crayola 48ct Trayola Twistable Crayons

I purchased these crayons because I became tired of my son eating his sisters' crayons and having to constantly peel them when they weren't sharp anymore.

With a little twist you constantly have a nice point available that has not broken to date. The kids love them. I love this set because it comes with 6 sets of 8 colors; so you can give each child their own set and have some in storage for when they lose or break them.

Illustory - Christian Edition: Write and illustrate your own Christian-themed book!

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Creations by You

June 12, 2006
I purchased this kit to make a Christmas present. I coordinated the kids while they wrote and illustrated a story for Grandpa and Grandma. I paid extra for rush processing and premium shipping. The finished book arrived in about three weeks (not bad for December).

The Grandparents loved their book. And, the kids really enjoyed telling them all about the writing process. The entire experience was very enjoyable.

I bought the "Christian Edition" because it was cheaper. It's basically the same as the regular version, with an added sheet of paper listing some Bible stories as plot ideas. BTW, the kids didn't end up writing a Bible story. Instead they opted to create their own tale from scratch.

Magnetic Mosaics - Kids

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Orb Factory


So often, the toys bought at Christmas lose their luster within days or hours. Magnetic Mosaics, on the other hand, has enjoyed lots of playtime at our house. The kids enjoy seeing the mosaics come to life and having their artwork displayed - there's an included easel. I enjoy the fact that it's a quiet non TV-based activity, can be done by one or two kids, and there's virtually no mess! Highly recommend.

Alex Watch It! with 7 Changeable Bands

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Alex


My daughter received this watch as a birthday gift and loved it. She wore it once and the crystal cracked but the watch still worked. After reading the other reviews, I'm hesitant to buy a replacement watch. It doesn't seem to be durable enough for children.

Ravensburger Classic Mandala

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Ravensburger

September 02, 2008
I purchased this as a gift for my daughter. For the past year, we had been printing and coloring mandalas found on the internet. When I came across this product, I was very excited. I knew she would enjoy it. As soon as she opened the package she was making her own mandalas. It was long before the rest of my family started borrowing it to make their own. I found it very relaxing to make and color in. It as if once you start, you can't stop. I purchased some vellum paper and we used a fine tip black permanent marker to draw the mandalas and then colored them in with colored markers. We then hung them in the windows for a "stained glass" look. I think anyone that purchases this product will not be disappointed!

I got the product today and had a blast myself (well - my 6 yr old included)...in fact as I type, I am still playing with it myself...does not stick - quite an addictive thing...this should be compared with play doh - which is almost a different product by itself..if ur looking at something which you can mould with precision, this is not the stuff. this is for quick make shapes - but dont expect this to give you precision...this is just the right kind of stuff...
