OOZ & OZ's Morph-O-Scopes Halloween Party Fun Pack Review and Giveaway!

When you have kids at home, you are always trying to find fun, interesting, unique and educational arts, crafts and toys for your kids. This way you keep them busy but at the same time they are having a fun time. While I was browsing, looking for Halloween arts and craft items, I came across OOZ &OZ 
"OOZ & OZ creates Morph-O-Scopes – educational toys that nurture play and development in children". We create elementary school learning toys and interactive games that children take into their hearts and minds!  Toys that engage children across the spectrum – gifted, garden variety, exceptional, autistic. We create unique children’s party entertainment, children’s arts and crafts, and unique art/science toys that surprise and delight and teach and challenge children, just enough".
Your probably asking, What is Morph-O-Scopes? Well, it is a a cup, which is actually a curved Mirror Decorder.  It comes with a placemat full of unclear images and the Mirror Decoder mysteriously untwists the far stretched out images on the mat and on the cup, you'll see a new, cool image. Isn't that fantastic! I received the OOZ & OZ's Morph-O-Scopes Halloween Party Fun Pack to try out and believe me I was quite curious to see how it really worked.  I placed the placemat and cup on the table and Sophia was then amazed how this funky image turns into a clear picture on the cup. Sophia started to color the images on the placemat. Then, she would start to move the cup back and forth playing with the images reflection. The optical illusion definitely plays with the imagination. She had lots of fun with this. 

The Halloween Party Fun Pack includes the following items:
8 morphed Halloween placemat-size coloring pages with colorable borders
8 Morph-O-Scopes flexible Mirror Decoders to be assembled
8 Bonus morph activities – our famous “4-Dot Challenge.” 
(Some five-year-olds can do it and some grown-ups can’t!)
The HALLOWEEN PARTY FUN PACK comes in a clear plastic hang bag.
This is really a fun, exciting, unique game for any child to have fun with.  Great for birthdays, Halloween parties or any other special event your organizing.

Life Gear Halloween Glow Sticks Review

As we are getting closer to Halloween, we all want to make sure that our kids are safe while Trick-or-Treating, that is where Life Gear Halloween GlowSticks comes in handy. These are LED Glow Sticks, which are warm, non-toxic, reusable, battery operated and have a bright saturated glow to them. The Glow Sticks features: LED Glow Stick, LED Flashlight, LED Flasher and a whistle. They are eco-friendly and can last up to 200 hours long. They are perfect for camping, trick or treating, biking, hiking and more.

We were sent the Halloween Glow Sticks and the minute we received it, Sophia started to press the on and off button. They suddenly started to flash and she became so excited. When it was darker outside we went to test them out, and an instant orange bright glowing light appeared from the Halloween Glow Sticks. The Glow Stick is light enough for any child to carry. They also come in various colors. Sophia had so much fun with the glow sticks, that she went underneath her blacket and started to turn it on and off. Then, she ran into the closet and continued to play with the glow sticks. It looks like she will definitely enjoy herself on Halloween, when she will be carrying her glow sticks and her basket full of candy.  What a fun and safe way to go out Trick or Treating? I know you all will agree with me on that.

Now, Visit  Life Gear  see more of their glow sticks and view some of their other items.

Spiderific Halloween Wreath!


I am always in a crafty mood, but when it comes to Halloween, I get overly excited to create more crafts. I love door wreaths, they look so good and can be made for any occasion. So, why not make a spooky Halloween wreath. Wouldn't that be fun? Now, lets begin making our Spiderific Halloween Wreath.

Supplies used and needed for the Halloween Wreath:
Grapevine wreath
Black Tulle or ribbon (which ever you like)
Plastic Spiders-Black, Purple and White (or your own colors)
Glue Gun (Adult use this only)
Black or Spray paint (to be safe use spray paint outside)
Spider web

We went out side to paint our wreath black. In order for my daughter to participate in this project I ended up using regular black paint instead of the spray paint, since she loves to paint. Sophia had so much fun painting the wreath. Then it was time to dry off.  
Once the wreath is completely dry, I started to tie the black tulle ribbon at the button of the wreath.  I reached for my spider webbing and wrapped it around the wreath to fully cover it. Now it is starting took a little scary right, LOL. Then you are ready to place the spiders on the wreath. Sophia loved the glittery purple spiders we found at the craft store. They really look good. This is the part where I take over, since I will be using the Hot Glue to attach the spiders onto the wreath. You can arrange them anywhere you like or even use little plastic skeletons. Now, tie the remaining tulle on top of the wreath to hang it from.  Take a second look to make sure everything looks the way you like it. If it looks great then it is time to hang your lovely Spiderific Halloween Wreath on your door. Voila! You are done!  

Sincerely,

Show Me Mama
