Cowgirl Critiques

I absolutely love it when I come across simple and yet super fun toys!  Sometimes toys today can be so advanced and technical that even us parents have a hard time figuring them out.

Well today I introduce you to the Aquadoodle Draw ‘N Doodle and Bath Blizzard from Spin Master.  I have to say, these are the two of the best toys we’ve played with in a while!  Lets start with the Aquadoodle drawing mat.  As you can see in the picture below, it’s a mat that you can draw on using a special pen that you fill with water.  You write all over and let dry to erase.  My 2 year old played forever with this thing.  But wait!  Not only did my toddler enjoy it, the rest of the family did too!  My man drew pictures of horses on it.  My oldest wrote that his mom is lame and that he wants to drive the truck tomorrow, and my middle son traced his hands and little man’s foot!  I’d say it was a huge hit with the whole family.  I love that it’s non-toxic and has no mess like pen marks on sofa or color marks on walls!  I do have one small suggestion though.  There needs to be a cap to put on the pen so that we don’t have a small wet spot on the floor.

Keep in mind that my little man just turned two and lines and scribbles are the thing!  He’s in complete concentration the entire time he drew that one scribble..LOL.

Okay, now onto the Bath Blizzard.  Super easy to set up and bubbles start coming right away!  You simply hang it on your faucet, pour a cap full of bubble solution with some water  turn it loose.  My little guy absolutely loves bubbles and I had a VERY hard time getting him out of the tub.  He had so much fun that I let him stay in there much longer than normal.  Yes, you can pour in the old fashioned bubbles but that isn’t near as fun as watching them come out of this little machine!  My only con with this product is that it’s a bit on the pricey side for a bath toy.  While it’s a great toy, I think that today’s frugal moms will be hesitant to buy it.

Both of these are toys are really that simple and really that fun.  I give them both a thumbs up for simple creativity and hours of enjoyment!  Definitely should be on your Christmas list!!!!

Thanks so much Team Mom for introducing me to these 2 fine toys.  We love them:)
