Safari Ltd® Educational Toys That Teach & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

My seven-year old is so interested in planets and the solar system and his little brother is full of questions about the size of the sun and which planets are hot or cold. I think it’s wonderful when I can find toys that let us expand on those topics with tactile objects that will let them really see and understand the world around them. Safari Ltd. has been a leader in producing “Toys that Teach™” since 1982. Their mission is to teach children the importance of nature and conservation through the joy of imaginative play.

Safari Ltd® TOOBS® are collections of hand painted figures. There are so many collections to choose from like Ancient Rome, NYC, Sea Life, Babies, Dinosaurs, Ancient Egypt, Around The World, Coral Reef, Deep Sea Creatures, Butterflies, Arctic, Trains and so much more. TOOBS® are great to use for kids projects, for teaching, sharing, playing, collecting and so much more. TOOBS® are perfectly sized to make awesome stocking stuffers. My kids loved the Trains and NYC TOOBS® and I thought the babies TOOBS® were perfect for using in miniature scenes and especially in doll houses.

The Solar System Set from the Safariology® collection was a huge hit, my boys loved handling he planets and seeing where they were in relation to the sun and other planets. The tray has a cover that holds the planets in place when they are done so that everything stays right where it belongs.

This set includes 8 planets and the sun, all hand-painted for detail and accuracy using the latest information from astronomers. Also includes an acetate tray for display, and a blister card with educational information in English, Spanish, French, and German.

For when my guys go exploring the Safariology® Luminoculars have them covered. Made of durable ABS plastic with 3.5x magnification, a light beam that shines up to 100 feet, and a built-in compass. Now explorers can discover more, see farther away, and still find their way home! Luminoculars are available in translucent red, translucent blue, and camouflage.

You can find Safari Ltd® Toys on our 2014 Holiday Gift Guide!

Safari Ltd® is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! One lucky blog reader will win their choice of a regular TOOBS® set or one figure (subject to availability)! Thank you Safari Ltd® for the review products and for sponsoring this awesome giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US residents.

Kidorable, Fireman Rain Wear Collection Review & Giveaway!!!

April showers bring May Flowers. Time to get in gear for spring rain. We love Kidorable Rain Wear, they are our go to brand for kid’s rain coats, rain boots and umbrellas. The quality is great and boots, rain coats and umbrellas used by my older son can be passed down to his younger brother looking brand new.

We love the great details and designs that are used on everything and how there’s such a large selection of coordinating items for each style. We recently had a chance to review products from the Fireman Collection.

When everything arrived, my son could not wait to try it on. Actually, both little boys wanted to try everything on and so they did. Everything is easy for them to get on and off and the attached hat on the hood of the rain coat provides great coverage with the wide brim. The rain boots are fun and keep puddle jumpers dry and the umbrella is easy to open and close for little hands. My son loved this set and his little brother can’t wait for him to outgrow it! kidorable2
