When my daughter was a little girl they didn’t have dress-up clothing like they do now. Back in the 80’s and early 90’s, parents were forced to buy crappy Halloween costumes or make dress-up clothing themselves. Looking back, I think childhood had to be pretty …
I’m the proud mother of an 8 1/2 year old girl and a 2 year old little boy. Being a mother is one of the greatest joys and one of the most important jobs in the world. While I’m not a perfect mother, I do …
I’m the proud grandmother to a 2-year old little boy who is as cute as can be! Luckily for me, he lives nearby and I can spend a lot of time with him throughout the week. Little Prince spends time at our home every week and I’m always looking for educational toys and games to keep him busy.

Learning Resources has been one of my go-to sources over the past 7 years when I need educational items for my grandchildren. I really appreciate how well their toys are built and that each item teaches the child a variety of different things. Their toys can be passed down from child to the next, making them a great investment.
For this holiday gift guide feature we received the Primary Science Shining Stars Projector to review for all of you. This projector is made for children ages 3 and up and requires 3 AAA batteries, not included to operate it. Perfect item to teach young children cause & effect, language development and how to observe things. Activity guide is included.
The 5-piece set includes: the portable projector, 3 discs with space images (for a total of 24 different space images) and the storage stand.
The Shining Stars Projector allows children to explore the universe while at home or while on-the-go. It will project the space images onto the wall or the ceiling from up to 10 feet away. The discs feature full-color images of stars, planets, the moon and more!
My grandson sleeps with a nightlight on and I thought this item would make a very cool nightlight in his bedroom. Not only can it function in that manner, you use it to teach your child about our universe…the planets, stars and moons. It has a little carrying handle on the top, so the child can carry it around with them or they can sit it on the storage stand.
The projector has 3 plastic discs, so you don’t have to worry about them breaking. They’re really durable and my grandson is able to easily put them into the projector and take them out. The entire unit is compact in size and light-weight, making it 100% portable. Kids can use it at home, in a preschool classroom, at grandma’s house or take it with you when you travel. The images are crisp, clear and super-colorful. All of the “planet images” in this post are photographs that we personally took of the images on our wall.
You can learn more about the Primary Science Shining Stars Projector by visiting Learning Resources online. You can connect with the company over on Facebook too. What a great holiday gift!

We do a lot of traveling and a few times every year we take our grandchildren along with us. Just like every kid, they get bored easily and need something to do. If we don’t keep them entertained…well, things can get pretty stressful, especially in the backseat of the car!

Let me introduce you to the newest thing to hit the retail marketplace called Window Jammers by flambi toys. Window Jammers are a collectible toy system which kids use to drive, fly, gallop and roll across the passing landscape on the inside of a car window. Even though they’re made for car windows, they can also be used while riding on a train, bus, etc.
The unique interchangeable characters stick to the end of a telescoping pole and build imagination skills and fun while helping to occupy the kids while traveling. They can do stunts with a twist of the telescoping pole and use their imagination as time passes on.
For this review we received a complimentary Window Jammers set to try out for all of you. This item couldn’t of arrived at a better time, since we’re all getting ready to leave for a family vacation which includes a 4 hour car ride down and another 4 hour car ride back. Our set included: 1 storage bag, 10 interchangeable characters and the telescoping pole.
How do they work? At the end of the telescoping pole is a small suction cup and the plastic characters stick onto it. Your child holds the pole in their hand and uses the window as their guide. As the landscape changes outside their window…they can have their chosen character ride along, jump, rollover, fly in the air, etc. They can let their imaginations run wild.
Our one grandchild is 8 years old and the other one is just over 2 years old. To get ready for our trip…we took our 8 year old granddaughter out with us to run some errands to see how it worked. Within 30 seconds…she was glued to playing with her new Window Jammers as we ran around town. Matter of fact, she was a tad impatient when waiting for me to get done at the store, so that we would be back in the car for her to play!
We will definitely be taking Window Jammers along with us on our upcoming trip. I know it will keep both of our grandchildren entertained for hours in the backseat of the car. This is a really great idea and I wish we would of had this in our hands a lot sooner!
You can learn more about Window Jammers by visiting their official website online. Make sure you check out their Kickstarter information too! With the holidays coming up, I think it would make a great holiday gift or any young child on your gift-giving list.

My grandchildren spend a lot of time at our home. Every week, they’re over at our house at least twice, if not more. We love spending time with them and often line-up family game time or movie nights to do with the kids. When it …
My son is 21 months old and is in that weird in-between stage where he’s too old for baby toys and too young for preschool one’s. Trying to find enough educational toys that are age appropriate to hold his interest has been difficult to say …
