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.
Sincerely,
