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

Calendar/Weather Pocket Chart Review and Giveaway-CLOSED

Recently I was given the opportunity to try out the Calendar/Weather Pocket Chart from Learning Resources. Besides being a Mommy, Wife, Blogger and so on, I consider myself a Teacher as well.  Becoming a parent, made me realize how important it is to find the best educational resources out there for my child to learn from. 

Learning Resources, is a wonderful store full of unique educational tools. When browsing through out the entire online store, I came across their Pocket Chart. Now, I have used a few calendars on the little one, even making some myself. However, I have never seen a two in one combination pocket chart, which includes both a Calendar/Weather pocket Chart.  We sat on the floor and had a great time placing the cards in their right pockets. Then we attached it to the wall in her bedroom. Sophia enjoys changing out the days of the week and even placed a Halloween Pumpkin card on the 31st, to remind her how many days until she can go Trick-or-Treating LOL.

The Calendar/Weather Pocket Chart allows each child to learn the basic skills of reading and learning the calendar.  It also engages children in learning about seasonal happenings and weather with the illustrated chart.  Here is a little bit about the Pocket Chart:

• Has 136 double-sided, full-color cards with numbers, days, months, years, holidays, celebrations, seasons and weather conditions 
• Invites children to update the chart daily; the pictures let you include children who aren’t reading yet
• Provides storage pockets that hold all cards
• Includes Activity Guide
• Sturdy flame-retardant vinyl chart with hanging grommets measures 30.75"L x 44.25"H
• Ages 3-6

Each morning we have our school sessions, and that's where the Calendar/Weather Pocket sure comes in handy. I definitely recommend this pocket chart for anyone that is homeschooling their little ones and for anyone that love educational tools for their children.

Win: One lucky reader will win a Calendar/Weather Pocket chart from Learning Resources.
