Martian Matter: Crafty Kid Space Toy

My 7 year old son couldn’t stop talking about Hasbro’s Martian Matter after he’d seen a commercial for it during a Spongebob episode. So, for his birthday a month ago, he received this gift from his grandparents.

The Martian Matter set comes with the alien maker spaceship base,14 alien body halves,martianm1.jpg 3 containers of meteor mud (which is strikingly similar to Play-doh), 3 tubes of Lunar Lava gel, and accessories.

When I first saw the commercial for Martian Matter I assumed this would be another toy we threw in the trash because it didn’t work the way it was supposed to.

Upon first glance, making your alien seems harder than it is. However, once we set up the Martian Matter toy everything was so easy that even our 3 yr. old son was making creations on his own. We made several aliens on our first night with this toy and this toy is one of the most used toys in the house right now!

What’s great about the Martian Maker toy is that it doesn’t require electricity and it’s non-toxic. Plus there are so many creative things you can do with this toy.

Overall, A Mom’s Review recommends Hasbro’s Martian Matter because it promotes creativity, it’s non toxic, and it’s remarkably fun! This is another fun find!

Pillowcasegram Review

If you are looking for a truly one a kind gift for someone very special to you, thepgram1.jpg Pillowcasegram is it! If you haven’t heard of a Pillowcasegram then let me fill you in. A Pillowcasegram is a custom made personalized pillowcase that includes a message kind of like an old-fashioned telegram but so much more. With all the junk posing as great gifts out there, this is definitely a rare find! It’s a fun new way to show you really care!

In addition to receiving a unique pillowcase that reflects your recipients interests (there are so many styles to choose from) you will also receive a handmade scented soap from In A Lather Soap Company. For the kid Pillowcasegrams, a color-free & fragrance-free “Just good soap” will be included. The Pillowcasegram also comes in a beautifully decorated gift box.

Overall, A Mom’s Review really likes this gift idea and we recommend it to those who honestly want to give a unique gift.

TownHouse Flipsides Review: We’re Not Flipping Over These!

Today we are a part of the Mom Central blog tour for the NEW TownHouse Flipsides! flipsides.jpgAs part of this blog tour the Kellogg Co. sent our family a box of the NEW Flipsides Pretzel crackers in cheddar flavor to see what we thought of them.

So what are Flipsides anyway? Flipsides are a combination of two favorite party snacks- pretzels and crackers. There is a pretzel on one side and a ritz cracker on the other. Since I’m already a big fan of the buttery ritz cracker as well as pretzels this sounded like the perfect snack.

However, when combined with the cheddar flavor it just doesn’t work for me. It would seem that I’m alone in thinking that Flipsides aren’t all they set out to be seeing as though my kids like them, and from what I’ve read online, Fipsides are a big hit already. The next time I’m at the grocery store I’ll pick up a box of Plain Flipsides to be sure.

Overall A Mom’s Review recommends picking up a box of TownHouse Flipsides and deciding for yourself. If you have allergies to wheat, soy, milk, or corn then these are not for you.

Have you already tried these new snacks? If so, I’d love to hear what you think of them in the comment section.
