Start Your Christmas Shopping With 4Knowledge-4Fun

Anybody remember the Kimmidolls, Stomp Rockets, or Stacking Pegs from last year?  What about the Oball Stacker the toddlers played with or the Eco Crayons that Katie uses?  4Knowledge-4Fun has some really great products!  

We've reviewed for 4Knowledge-4Fun in the past, so I was excited to work with them again.  Sandy sent us a box full of neat products for the kids to enjoy.

Katie is working her way through the Color 'n Seek Alphabet Hidden Pictures coloring book, with the included markers.

I mentioned to Sandy that Luke likes toys that dangle, so she sent him this Oball O-Link and the Oball Flex & Slide.

Lukey was mesmerized by it, and played with it for a long time, whacking it back and forth.

He likes it!  The Flex & Slide is for kids aged 3 months and up, and the O-Link comes in 3 different colorways.

Hannah and Katie, playing Hello Kitty Uno.  This is perfect for them, because they recently learned to play Uno with a seasonal deck, and Hello Kitty is appropriate all year round!

Miss Katie played with the Magnetic Fun With Letters set on the way to and from the firehouse on Thanksgiving.  She's learning letter sounds and starting to make words so this is perfect for her.

When I first saw Musical Touch, I thought it would be a toy for Luke, but he can't grasp the concept of holding onto the toy.  Everyone else had a fabulous time with this hilarious toy!  I tried it out with Paul, then the kids snatched it and pretty much everybody had a turn with it.  In the photo above, Eli is "shooting" quack noises at me.  You can get an idea how it works by watching this video.

We haven't had a chance to get into the Ladybug Pillow kit or the Fairy Window Mosaic yet, but I'll be sure to share pictures once we do!

The coupon code BFCM is good at 4Knowledge-4Fun through 12/6/15, and will give you a 6% discount across the site.

Lauri Pegboard & Peg Stackers #GIVEAWAY

Today we start giveaway #2 of three great giveaways from 4Knowledge-4Fun!  Did you catch our Kimmidolls giveaway last week?

This week's toy is for the preschoolers in your life!  We received the large pegboard and 100 tall stacker pegs for review.  The pegboard also comes in a smaller size for more portable fun, and you can get just 50 pegs to go with that board.

We tried to get Luke, who has special needs, to hold onto a peg, but he was unable to.

So Eli made a light saber and held it in Luke's hand.

Eli then decided these were pretty fun looking, and proceeded to build a tower.

A very tall tower, all the way up to the ceiling!  The age recommendation for these toys is 2 and up, and we got plenty of playtime from the "and up" crowd in our house!

Eli and Jack used the pegs and pegboard to play their own connect four version of tic tac toe.

Eli also said they could be used to play checkers.

Of course, they're great for teaching colors, counting, sorting, and patterns to preschoolers, as well.

Or for creating pixelated images, like Eli's smiley face.

Katie and Brayden helped Eli fill the entire board with all 100 pegs!

Brayden's favorite color is orange, so he's gathering all the orange pegs to put in.

Even after the camera was put away, the pegboard and peg stackers have continued to be a favorite around our house.  The kids like them because they're fun to play with.  I like seeing the Lauri brand name that I've come to appreciate stands for quality in their great puzzles.

Who's ready to win your own pegboard and stacker from 4Knowledge-4Fun??  Remember, these will ship after Christmas.  US only, please.

Kimmidolls #GIVEAWAY

We had a very generous package arrive at our house recently from 4Knowledge-4Fun!  I spent a couple hours looking over their website, and they have a lot of great toys!  Some of our favorites, like Uncle Goose Blocks and GeoToys puzzles, and some things I've had my eye on but haven't tried out yet, like Magformers.

I recognized the Kimmidolls because Hannah got the Kimmidoll Journal last year for Christmas.

When I saw the Kimmidolls online, I though Hannah and Katie might like them.  When they arrived, I realized I like them!  They looked so cute on my messy desk.  Not only that, but each doll comes with a sticker that can go in Hannah's journal (or anywhere, really).

I gave Hannah the pink one, and Katie the yellow one.  They're nice, substantial little figurines.  I like that they're made of resin, not plastic, so they have a nice heft to them.  They're taller than Little People, but still nice and portable to take along in the car.

The girls agreed to pose for a picture for me, then ran off to play with the dolls.

A little while later, I peeked in on them and found them chirping away happily.  The dolls were visiting the pandas that live in Hannah's dollhouse.

Now for the GIVEAWAY!  4Knowledge-4Fun has agreed to send one of my lucky readers these same two dolls after Christmas!  (US only, please)

STAY TUNED, because the super cute Kimmidolls weren't the only thing in our package!  We'll be giving away Lauri Peg Stackers next week and Stomp Rockets the week after!  Let's give 4Knowledge-4Fun a Facebook like for being so generous!

Stomp Rockets #giveaway

I had such a hard time getting my boys to wait for a sunny day to play with these!

Welcome to the third and final giveaway from 4Knowledge-4Fun!  Week one was the Kimmidolls, week two was Peg Stackers, this week is Stomp Rockets!

We received the Stomp Rocket Ultra set and the refill pack.

We went to the park and chose to set up inside the tennis court to reduce the chance of missiles going astray.

This was SO MUCH FUN!  A stomp sent the rockets flying.

Way, way up!

My boys took turns stomping, loading, retrieving.

If you look close, you can see I caught this one on the way up.  The lag time on my camera makes it hard to catch a time sensitive shot.

We spent a lot of time craning our necks upward and saying, "Wow!"  The rocket has gone all the way out of the shot in this picture.

Finally, the too cool teenager had to get in on the fun.

Yep, this is fun!

She really got into it, too.

I don't know about you, but this looks active enough to count as P.E. to me!  Running, jumping, catching, hand eye coordination, taking turns... all sorts of learning to be had here, without the kids ever suspecting.

And where were the little girls during all of this??

Watching from the safety of the bench outside the court.

Even though the box says ages 8 and up, we let Hannah, who is 7, have a try.  You can see the rocket is going up just to the right of Eli's hand.

Anything Hannah does, Katie, who is 4, wants to try, too.  You can see her rocket didn't get very high, but part of her issue is that she's balancing on her prosthetic leg while she stomps with her other foot, which is an awkward movement for her.  I'm sure she'll get better at it as she gets older.

Are you ready to win your own super fun Stomp Rockets?  US only, please.  Prize will be shipped after Christmas.
