Cap Trappers Review: Great for Homeschoolers!
I home school my children so we always have an abundance of craft supplies, crayons, and markers lying around our house. However we have one very common scenario : When our 7 year old goes to get his favorite marker we find out that the 4 year old has forgotten to put the cap back on! And, we all know what that means, a useless dried out marker! We’ve thrown tons of markers in the garbage over this. So, when we heard about the Cap Trapper we were excited to learn more about it.

Crayola Digital Camera Scrapbook Kit: Fun For Kid Photographers!
We were sent the Crayola Digital Camera Scrapbooking Kit to test out recently. Now, we are already a family that loves taking photos so this was a fun product for us to try out. And, if your kids are anything like mine they are always asking to use your real camera so this was perfect for us.
Essentially, the Crayola Digital Camera Scrapbooking kit includes everything a child needs to make their own scrapbooks. The kit includes a kid’s digital camera, case, photo editing CD, and scrapbook supplies such as paper, glue, markers, and stickers.
Right after I took the camera out of the box, my 4 year old began snapping photos. I was surprised at how EASY taking photos was for him. The grip on the camera is just perfect for little hands too! So, my son continued taking photos, and was occupied for hours with the Crayola camera. My only gripe about the camera is that the image quality is not very good and the camera flash doesn’t work like it should. However, it’s just a toy and the kids think it’s great!
Overall, A Mom’s Review recommends this fun & creative Crayola kit. This would make a terrific gift for a child ages 4 through 6.
Where To Buy: Wal-Mart, Target, Crayola Store, Staples, or you can also visit Sakar for a list of retailers
How Much Does It Cost? The average price we have seen is $49.99

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,
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!
