When it comes to toys, in addition to them being fun, I am looking for the kind of toys that allows my kiddos to be creative, active, use their brains and/or allows everyone in the family to have a good time (especially if it is is something that we can enjoy together. That’s where these 3 Toys come in…

DohVinci Style and Store Vanity Kit

DohVinci Style and Store Vanity Kit

This vanity kit falls under the creative category because my daughter got to actually paint each part of the vanity kit to make it uniquely hers. The best part was that it wasn’t messy! Once it was to her liking, she assembled it on her own (which is an added bonus) and now she stores her goodies in it.

*Includes five-piece vanity with mirror, add-on flourishes, Styler tool, wavy shaped design tip, two-sided edging tool, four DECO POP colors, and inspiration guide.

Nerf N Strike Mega Thunderbow

Nerf N Strike Mega Thunderbow

This falls under the being active and something the whole family can enjoy categories. As a family we have had a blast playing with this because we team up and try to hide from one another. The bow’s dynamic arms and traditional pull back system can fire five NERF MEGA whistler darts in a row up to an amazing distance of 100 feet. When it goes really fast, you can hear it makes a whistle sound.

I’m thinking we need to get a few more of these…LOL.

*Includes 10 MEGA Whistler darts and holds up to five NERF MEGA darts at a time.

Simon Swipe Game

Simon Swipe Game

This falls under using the brain and something the whole family can enjoy categories. I remember playing this growing up, so I love seeing my kiddos play with it. Plus, they impress me because they do really well with memorizing the colors. This bold new game is a modern take on the classic recall challenger SIMON game. With hypnotic colors, flashing lights, cool sounds, and gameplay based on a smooth swipe action, the SIMON SWIPE game starts easy and then speeds up with patterns you’ll have to move quickly to repeat. Tap or swipe, but don’t get it wrong!

* Includes 3 AA Duracell batteries

These would also make great gifts for the Holidays! Be sure to check back in November for my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide.
