Books, Pretend Play and Delicious Snacks: Reviewing Babbleboxx’s Just For Kids Box

This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx.com. I received the Just For Kids Babblebox in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Spring is here (or should be soon)! With the weather turning warmer, we are hoping to get outside more and take our learning outdoors. I am always on the lookout for quality products to introduce to my daughter and help us in our day to day activities. We need products that we can grab on the move, and that can hold up to our active learning. Babbleboxx provided us with the Just For Kids box full of cool products that will help us take our learning off the page!

Snazaroo Brush Pen

I love watching my daughter use her imagination and engage in dramatic play. These Snazaroo™ Brush Pens provide an additional level to pretend play. My daughter loves to pretend to be a dog or cat. She was so excited to check out these face paint pens and have me draw spots on her face to look like our dog. I was really excited that they were easy to use and easy to apply. Since they are fragrance and paraben free, they are great for sensitive skin like ours.

These fun face paint pens come in 12 colors and 5 themed packs (Adventure, Fantasy, Halloween, Jungle and Monochrome). The brush applicator makes it easy to draw detailed designs, and the twisting action of the brush allows you to control the amount of paint in the brush tip. When we were done playing with them, it was really easy to clean off our designs with a little soap and water. I’m excited to come up with new ways to use these pens and even bring some of our favorite book characters to life! You can purchase them on their website, or from Amazon.

Dinosaurs Living in My Hair and Dinosaurs Living in My Hair 2

I am always looking for new books and authors that teach important lessons, so I was thrilled to find these award winning children’s books included in the box! Dinosaurs Living in My Hair and its sequel Dinosaurs Living in My Hair 2 were written by Jayne M. Rose-Vallee and illustrated by Anni Matsick. The first book follows a little girl named Sabrina who is convinced that dinosaurs live in her very curly hair. As she struggles to tame her wild mane, she turns to her mother for help getting the dinosaurs out. In the sequel, we meet Sabrina’s friends who also have curly hair. When they are faced with a bully who tortures them at school, they band together and note that their similarities make them a great team.

These stories are told in fun rhyming text and are accompanied by creative and colorful illustrations. The little dinosaurs depicted in the illustrations were definitely my daughter’s favorite part of the books. These stories hold a great message about being yourself and loving what makes you different. I would suggest these for an older audience who are able to understand that the main character is only imagining to have dinosaurs in her hair. The second book offers a great opportunity to talk to kids about bullying and sticking together with your friends to face adversity.

PEZ Jurassic World Collection

When it comes to fun treats on the go, who doesn’t love PEZ dispensers? They have lasted as a popular toy because of their kid appeal. PEZ is releasing 3 new dispensers based on the upcoming movie Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and we had the opportunity to check them out! Without even knowing that they were for candy, my little one started carrying them around and roaring like a dinosaur. I love that they don’t hurt her fingers and they are perfect for her little hands. (Plus the candy is just how you remember it!).

There are 3 dispensers currently available: T-Rex, Blue the Raptor and Dilophosaurus. My daughter’s favorite was the T-Rex, while I still love Blue from the first Jurassic World movie. In June, PEZ will be releasing a gift tin including four dispensers which can be broken down and used to play a board game included in the tin. Check out the website to learn more!

Sprout Crispy Chews

I am always looking for delicious and nutritious snacks for us to grab on the go. The Sprout Crispy Chews are delicious toddler snacks that my daughter and I can both be happy with. She loves the delicious flavors and I love that they provide her with whole grains, fruits and veggies. The little packets are easy for us to grab on the go, and they fuel our active play time outside.

We had the opportunity to try out two flavors: Orchard Fruit & Carrot and Red Fruit Beet & Berry. Both flavors have a fun crispy texture and delicious fruity flavor. My daughter’s favorite was the Orchard Fruit & Carrot. They have become one of  her favorite snacks to enjoy during our read aloud time.

Zenni Optical Kids Glasses

I have terrible eyesight, and I have needed glasses or contact lenses since the second grade. I don’t remember much about getting glasses when I was younger, but I can’t imagine how stressful it must have been for my parents to worry about me not breaking or losing them. Kids are tough, so they need glasses that can be tough with them.

I’m worried about passing my poor eyesight along to my daughter, but luckily she already loves wearing glasses. She will pick up any reading glasses or sunglasses she finds and proudly wear them around the house. She was so excited to try out these flexible frames from Zenni Optical. They were very easy to put on, and it was simple to adjust them to her head. Since there aren’t any hinges or metal parts, they are safe for her to wear and play with. Check out this video to learn more about these awesome glasses:
