Product Review - Toobeez - GIVEAWAY

On the 6th Day Of Christmas....Toobeez gave to me... hours and hours of fun bum, bum...

12 Days of Christmas continues and I am so happy to be able to offer you the 6th Giveaway of the month at Maria's Space.

First the review:

This weekend I received the most awesome children's product. It is called Toobeez and the reason I think it is the most awesome is because the possibilities are endless.

My kids were excited when they saw the box and couldn't wait to see what was inside.

We opened it and there was another box. They were beyond excited because in their mind there was a box for each of them.
I finally opened to show them what the box held. Inside was the most colorful 57 pieces of plastic I had ever seen. The kids were so excited with loads of "wow's" and "what is it?"

Telling them it was a way for us to build something we could sit in like we do with the Little People, I got to business. While I built their first fort, they fought over the boxes. Finally I had my first fort constructed and they ran and got their mini couches to put inside. I made it wider by simply adding more attachments. It was so easy, just take one of the yellow multi-keyhole balls and insert a plastic tube into it until you feel it click. So easy, my 3 year old could do it.

We added the slide on curtains and they did a mini puppet show, then we threw some blankets over it, gave them their lanterns and played inside. There was room for their mini couches, me, some stuffed animals, 2 blankets and 2 kids. We changed the configuration easily about 5 times. Finally, they lied down to drink their milk while I read them a story.

Before the kids went to bed we had to talk them into pulling it down promising them we could put it together again tomorrow. We put all the pieces into a giant storage bag that was included with the set. Love the bag because it easily holds all of the pieces, zips up and has handles for easy transport.

My son's wish for tomorrow is to make a boxing ring and Goddess wants to make a swing and cradle for her teddy bear while I want to make an obstacle course with hurdles for my son to do like he does in his Tao class.

I doubt we will be running out of things to make with Toobeez.

Check out their website for some photos of the more than 50 ways to use Toobeez.

Toobeez is more than just an oversized TinkerToy set it is an educational tool.

Toobeez comes with two activity workbooks.

The first was for Language arts and the second was for Math activities. Each book has 10 activities with complete details for each.

As I said the possibilities are endless. Whether you are a school teacher, gym teacher, Occupational Therapist, Brownie leader, home schooler, you won't run out of ways to utilize Toobeez.

This could even be used in your CCD class using scripture instead of poetry or vocabulary words. You are only limited by your imagination.

See this booklet for more information on the ways to use Toobeez. Here are tons more picture of what you can do with Toobeez.
