Are you crazy like a cat.. a Cat in the Hat?  My kids are and maybe I am too, just a little bit.  I am guessing that almost everyone reading this review owns a copy of The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess.  By the way, did you know that his birthday is Monday, March 2nd.  What the perfect reason to bake a yummy cake..  I'm sure even at 107 years old Dr. Suess will appreciate your thoughtfulness and so will your kids.

The Cat in the Hat I Can Do That! game brings The Cat in the Hat book to life via the game, giving kids a new and incredibly fun way to experience this
classic Dr. Suss story we loved as children and our kids love now.  The Cat in the Hat I Can Do That! game will entertain your entire family, maybe not your 15 year old, including your husband! You'll all laugh and connect your family in a way that TV or video games can't.Cat_hat_do_that_game_detailed

I Can Do That! comes with imaginative props inspired by the classic
child
ren's book The Cat In the Hat by Dr. Seuss, as well as a deck of
color-coded cards that provide funny, challenging activities thus the name I Can Do That!.

"I Can do That" is a fun game that engages kids in fast paces activities. 

  • First, your child flips over one red card, one blue card, and one yellow card. 
  • After flipping the cards your child fits them together like puzzle pieces which when read together as a sentence, form an activity for your child to do. 
  • For example, one card might read "Take Four Giant Steps," the next card might read "With
    the Cake," and the third card might read "On your head!" How funny is that!?
  • Each card also has one, two, or
    three stars on it for score keeping purposes. 
  • This is a great confidence boosting game as kids will complete challenges they may not have thought possible.

Cat in the Hat I Can Do That! is available at Amazon.com
and you can learn more about the game at the "I Can Do That!" website, which I highly recommend visiting.  There are lots of other fun games like Horton Hears a Who – You to the Rescue and Curious George games.

Enjoy!

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Baby & Kids Clothing, , , , ,

BonnBonn Baby antimicrobial baby products
Oh, how I wish I had BonnBonn Baby onesies and bibs a couple of years ago.  My poor daughter had drool on the neck of her shirt or bib all of the time and really.. what baby doesn't?  You can't change their clothes every hour.  

BonnBonn Baby introduced a moisture control wicking fabric that pulls moisture away from
baby's delicate skin where it quickly dries. The lightweight antimicrobial material kills mold, mildew, and more.

BonnBonn Baby onsies, bibs, changing pads, and
sheets are great for keeping your child dry and happy.

BonnBonn Baby products are great gifts for expecting and new moms and even those with toddlers. 

  • The bibs are great for teething babies
  • The sheets are perfect for messy potty training nights so your toddler isn't sleeping on yucky wet sheets
  • The changing pad's antimicrobial fabric inhibits the growth of odor causing bacteria and fungus on the changing pad.
  • All products are machine washable and get softer with each wash.  I've washed Madelyn's BonnBonn Baby tee and sure enough, it's super soft!

Minky Princess Blanket and Car Seat Cover from Dressy Dribbles

Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Bedding - baby & kids, Bedtime, , , , , , , , ,

Madelyn is a blankie lover.  She always has a blanket with her.  There are a few exceptions I suppose, but she's attached.   When I took Madelyn's minky Princess Blanket out of the package, the first thing she did was rub it on her face.  That's become a regular thing now.. when we're reading she holds the minky blanket on her face.  It's
adorable.  At night when
she's going to sleep she rubs the satin edges between her fingers.  Dressy Dribbles blankets and car seat covers are machine washable and available in several designs and colors.

Dressy Dribbles showed me that I don't have to settle for the standard gray cover that came with Madelyn's Britax toddler car seat.  Ugh.. how boring.  Now, Madelyn has the most beautiful car seat cover from Dressy Dribbles.

ItzaBitza Educational Reading Game for kids + giveaway – this game is so much fun!

Educational Toys, , , , , ,

This is one of the most entertaining game I've played in a long time.  Yes, I admit I played ItzaBitza.  My kids weren't even around.  The concept of ItzaBitza is awesome..I've never seen anything like it.

ItzaBitza promotes reading comprehension, artisitic and imaginative creativity and provides an exciting gaming experience for kids ages four and older.  I was amazed time and time again by how the game responded to my drawings and made them come to life.  

Here are just a few things you can do in the first ItzaBitza scene:

  • Draw a tree, apples grow on it.  
  • Draw a moon and stars light up the sky and your Sketchie goes inside the house you drew, goes upstairs and goes to sleep.
  • Draw an envelope and your Sketchie takes it to the mailbox.
  • Draw a cup and watch your Sketchie drink out of it.

The Sketchie your child chooses at the beginning of the game (a boy or a girl) asks your child to draw things, including a house and a tree, then the drawings become part of the animation and story.  An example would be when I drew a tree with leaves, the game added apples to the tree.  You can see my award winning drawing (ha!) below.  Click on the image to view the larger version.  I didn't draw the flowers.  When I drew the sun, the flowers grew!  How cool is that?

Through out the game, the Sketchie gives you ideas and little games to play via a little word bubble that pops up when you click on him or her.  If your child has trouble reading a word in the bubble, all she has to do is move
the mouse over the word and it is sounded out for her.  Great reading practice!

There are several scenes that can be unlocked as your child progresses in the game including a camping scene and a naunted house.  You'll have to buy the game to find out what happens in each of the scenes!

Buy a copy of ItzaBitza at Amazon.com for $17.99 (current price) OR buy and download the game here.
