RoseArt EXTREME Air Brush Studio Review

My kids and I were fortunate enough to receive a RoseArt EXTREME Air Brush Studio to do a review on. Boy, are we glad that we did! My youngest could not get it out of the box fast enough!
Even my oldest was excited to check it out! I get excited about anything that gets my kids to be creative while they have fun-- The RoseArt EXTREME Air Brush Studio delivers! 

The EXTREME Air Brush Studio comes fully loaded with everything you need to make some awesome air brushed pictures-- Air Brush Caddy, Detachable Motorized Pump and Sprayer, 15 Markers, 5 Stencils, and Easy to Follow Instructions.

There was very little set up, we just needed to add 4 C batteries and we were ready to have some fun.

This is so easy to use, your child will be painting like a pro in no time!

Remove the lid off of any RoseArt SuperTip  marker and click it into the sprayer handle till you can't go any further, the tip will poke out a little.

 

Turn the motorized sprayer on and push the spray button to start airbrushing.

 

My son had a blast using the stencils to make a bunch of fun designs!

Rose Art recommends this studio for children 6 years of age and older, but

since the airbrush sprayer is battery operated, my 4 & 1/2 year old was able to operate the airbrush studio with little to no help. I LOVE that is motorized (and so does my arm!!), this is a huge advantage over it's competitor's model that you have to pump by hand.

 

My 12 year old enjoyed using it as well!

I love when toys and activities appeal to children of all ages, that is sometimes hard to come by since there is an 8 year difference between my kids!

 

 

He used the stencils to airbrush their names.

 

They thought it was so cool that they could turn paint with markers!

These were some of the designs they made using the stencils that came with the set.

 

I love the way everything stores together in the portable caddy!

My son called it a tool box for an artist!

 

After over 3 hours of creativity, my son (and his PJ's) packed it up.

I definitely will be picking up a few of these for kids on my Christmas list.

Head on over to Wal-Mart to get a RoseArt Extreme Airbrush Studio for your artist. The cost is normally around $20, but if you will be at Wal-Mart on Black Friday, they will be offering these for a very special price of $9.97!!  50% OFF!SCORE!!!  This studio is truly a steal at that price so be sure to get yours!

My Boys Are My Everything!

My boys, they are my everything!  They have brought so much love and happiness to my life and continue to do so every single day...

Handprint Turkey's

 

I love making these Handprint Turkeys with my kids for Thanksgiving.

They are a lot of fun and they double as a decoration and a keepsake! Every year after we make them, we compare them to last year's turkeys to see how much their hands have grown.

 

 

They are easy to make, you just 5 colors of paint, one being brown.

Paint your child's hand like shown and have them stick it on a piece of paper.

After the handprint dries, add eyes, a beak, a gobble, and little legs if you desire.

ONE STEP AT A TIME - Hugo the Happy Starfish - Children's E-Book Review

Hugo the Happy Starfish is the main character in a series of over 20 children’s E-Books written by Suzy Liebermann.  Each book in the series teaches your child valuable and necessary life lessons. I was fortunate enough to be given a free copy of One Step at a Time for my Tablet to review.  I was so excited to share this story with my preschooler. He really enjoyed it and was so happy "to have it to keep" on our tablet. We downloaded using our Kindle App, which is free in the App Store.

 

Hugo the Happy Starfish is eager to explore the world around him!  In One Step at a Time, Hugo sets off on an adventure with a set of instructions to follow to get him to his destination.  It is a story that shows that no matter how difficult the task is, we shouldn't give up, we should just take it one step at a time.
 

 

The bright illustrations and fun story-line will entertain your child and keep them smiling while teaching them a valuable  lesson about commitment!  This E-Book is appropriate to read aloud to young children as well as a read-alone book for early readers.  

Check out Hugo's Books site for more information on the other books in the series and for FREE Games & Worksheets that go along with the stories.

Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover-- The UGLEE Pen Review

Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover...

We have all heard that, this pen makes that quote ring true!

 

I recently received three UGLEE pens to review, one which I will be giving away. My first thought was "WOW! It really fits the name, it is UGLY!" I will admit, as ugly as it was, I was still intrigued by it's title, "The World's Most Comfortable Ergonomic Pen." The UGLEE pen was designed and created by Doctor James Lee, after years of searching for a comfortable ergonomic pen.

The UGLEE Pen was designed for comfort and cramp free writing, it delivers. I used it to write my grandmother a letter. This day in age, how many people actually sit and write a letter? I honestly hadn't written a letter in years up till a few months ago. My grandmother recently had a stroke and is residing in a nursing home so that she can get the care and help that she needs, so I try to write her a letter every now and then to lift her spirits. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis in my hand (from many years of competitive cheerleading) and I wrote a three page letter without my hand feeling fatigued, cramped, or strained. Whether you write all day or just minutes, you’ll be able to do so without cramping or strain.  It is extremely lightweight. The barrel of the pen is really squishy and soft and conforms to your fingers, making it very comfortable. The ink is very smooth, it writes a little wider then I am use to, but overall, I like it. Like I said, the pen is really not easy on the eyes, but it really is comfortable. Kind of like a beautiful pair of heels vs. that old broken pair of ratty gym sneakers-- nothing beats those old comfy sneakers!!

The Easiest Way To Cut An Avocado

My kids and I love avocado. I buy them often, because they are so good for you (even though they are fattening). For a long time I struggled with cutting them, until I learned this...

 

Cut your avocado in half.

Remove the pit by lightly stabbing your knife into it and pulling it out.

Cut slices or cubes while the avocado is in it's skin.

Don't cut the skin.

Using a spoon, scoop your slices or cubes out. Start at one side and glide the spoon to the other side.

All of the pieces will come right out, leaving behind the skin.

 

I wish I had an avocado right now!

Wooden Butter for a Play Kitchen

My youngest is dying for a play kitchen. He had one a few years ago, but I got rid of it when he no longer played with it. With all of the cooking and baking we have done, it seems to have renewed his interest. We have decided to get him one for Christmas, I actually bought a used one off of my friend. It is an awesome wooden kitchen, he is going to be so excited when he sees it. I am not a big fan of the cheap plastic play food, I prefer the wooden and felt food. The wooden and felt food seems to hold up a lot better. To go along with the kitchen, I have decided to make him a set of felt food. When I was at the craft store picking up some felt, I came across these little wooden tiles.

 

 

I thought they were the perfect size to make little wooden slabs of butter. For just over $1, I decided to grab them.

 

 

I painted them with a few coats of yellow acrylic paint....

 

Now he'll have 5 little slices of butter to add to his play food, they will go perfectly with the wooden stick of butter that he already has.

I can't wait till Christmas, he is going to be ecstatic when he sees his kitchen and all his new play food!
