Oriental Trading Review

A huge thank-you to Oriental Trading for sending me these items in an exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.

One thing my church does the first week in December is play an active role in the community for the annual Christmas Walk. During the Christmas Walk all the business's pull out deals and other free fun to get more people in town and shopping in the stores.

This year our church handed out free hot chocolate, coffee, and snacks. We also had a free craft thanks to Oriental Trading! There were so many mess free activities to chose from their site that it was hard to narrow down the choices. I knew I wanted it to be simple and mess free as parents don't want to walk around with wet glue or paint. So I was very pleased to find the many choices for the magic color products. The magic color items are black but when you use a scraper tool you will scrape and see the bright color underneath. It made for a simple, fun and mess free activity! I loved the inspirational words as well as the beautiful Christmas tree ones!

The ornaments were a huge hit! Parents loved how easy it was for little hands but also the big kids showed an interest and took their time to created beautiful designs in them.

I received each of the items described below!

We had some very happy kids... and yes even some "big" kids joined in and made some fun ornaments, bracelets, and magnets.

Once the package arrived I inspected each item. There were a couple of the magic color items that had minimal scratches already on it but nothing major that would make me angry. Each item listed above is not going to break your bank... VERY AFFORDABLE! I did have to tie on the strings to the ornaments and put the magnets on but it was very simple and still well worth the cost!

The ornaments, magnets, and bracelets are for sure on my recommendation list for anyone and everyone! Thanks Oriental Trading for helping me create a successful Christmas Walk for my community! :) Parents loved the mess free activity!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack. Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
