Get Dressed with Success!
September 27, 2011 at 12:45 | Posted in ALEX Toys, Awards, Little Hands, Play@Home Mom, Reviews | 2 CommentsLately my 4 year old, Lori, has insisted on picking out and putting on her outfits all by herself. Sometimes she actually puts together an outfit that matches and looks half-decent, and sometimes… not so much! As she has gotten older she has become more and more independent. She takes great pride in being able to do things, like getting dressed, completely on her own. But she is still learning and sometimes she gets very frustrated trying to zip up her hoodie or button her pants! It is not always easy for her to ask for help because she is SO determined to get it on her own, but I think I came up with the perfect solution… the ALEX Learn to Dress Kitty!

Ahoy there – did you know that September 19th is International Talk-Like-a-Pirate Day? I don’t know about you, but I love just about any excuse to dress up and act goofy with my kids. And that is just what we did!

It’s a (Peg) Jungle Out There!
September 15, 2011 at 11:00 | Posted in Little Hands, Play@Home Mom, Reviews | 1 CommentI knew the ALEX Little Hands Peg & Layer Jungle would be a hit with Lori, because she really enjoys playing with the Peg Farm. Not only does the Peg & Layer Jungle have the stackable pegs, it also has tons of pieces that can be layered (as the name suggests) in-between the pegs and even on top on them! The jungle artwork is also adorable – love it!
As soon as she saw the box, Lori couldn’t wait to open it and get started!
And On That Farm There Was A Peg, E-I-E-I-O!
September 13, 2011 at 12:00 | Posted in ALEX Toys, Little Hands, Play@Home Mom, Reviews | Leave a commentI remember having stacking pegs when I was little, but these toys from ALEX are SO much cuter! The ALEX Peg Farm pegs have adorable little animal faces on them and a sturdy farmyard base to build on.

Back to School, Already?
August 25, 2011 at 14:00 | Posted in Little Hands, Play@Home Mom, Reviews | 1 CommentBack to school gear is everywhere now. Is summer over already? Wow, that went fast! To get Lori back into the learning groove I picked up Ready, Set, School! from ALEX. This kit looks awesome! It is jam-packed with dozens of activities to sharpen her skills: ABC’s, 123′s, cutting, coloring, stencils, lacing, tying, stickers and more! She’s going to ace pre-K!
Down on the Farm
August 19, 2011 at 10:19 | Posted in ALEX Toys, Little Hands, Play@Home Mom, Reviews | Leave a commentAn interactive play mat? Well, this is something my kids have never even seen before. Come to think of it, neither have I!
ALEX’s Talk of the Farm is such a clever idea! This colorful and interactive play mat with a bright red musical truck was the perfect way to engage both of my girls (18 months and 3.5 years) and to get them playing together.
Gearing Up!
August 9, 2011 at 14:50 | Posted in ALEX Toys, Little Hands, Play@Home Mom, Reviews | 2 CommentsWho says building is just for boys?
I got Lori the ALEX Twist and Drill kit so she could learn about using a drill and a screwdriver to build things. Now I know a tool kit is not the most original gift for dad, but how cute would it be if Lori could use her new tools right next to her daddy using his new tools! Big and small tool kits for father and kid – now that is the perfect gift!
I Bag Your Pardon!
July 12, 2011 at 15:00 | Posted in Family Time, Kid's Arts & Crafts, Little Hands, Play@Home Mom | 2 CommentsWe LOVE doing crafts at our house. I am a crafter (for work and pleasure) and my daughters, Lori, age 4, and Julie, age 1.5, come running over to join in whenever I break out my supplies. That is probably why I’m obsessed with the ALEX Little Hands craft kits; they are all projects that Lori can do on her own, without creating a huge mess, and be proud of. We recently tried out the Paper Bag Puppets kit – check it out…
When she opened the box, we found 5 individually packed projects. Every paper bag comes with the corresponding stickers and punch-outs that are needed to craft them into adorable animals! The kit also includes colorful picture instructions and jumbo-sized glue stick. Lori was thrilled that the glue stick was bright pink and dried clear.
