Kids Will Love this Fun and Easy Orbeez DIY Underwater Adventure Creation!

July 8, 2019 By Marijean

Trying to keep the kids occupied on hot/rainy summer days is sometimes a struggle. I am always looking for cheap but fun craft activities the kids can do when the weather is bad. I came across Orbeez, and they are so much fun for my kids. I am going to share a fun DIY activity that is not only affordable, but keep the kids having fun for hours and days!

Below is what you will need to create a fun underwater creation with your kids.

Orbeez Underwater Adventure

Bag of aquarium rocks

Small fish bowl

Aquarium plants and decorations

2 containers of Orbeez Grown Orbeez Bottles in clear color (or choose from a variety of colors to give your water a pop of color)

Orbeez Wow World Wowzer Surprise (each contains 1 surprise, purchase as many as you’d like for your aquarium to come to life).

Step 1: Start by pouring the rocks into the bottom of the fish bowl.

Step 2: Decorate the fish bowl any way you would like.

Step 3: Take your Grown Orbeez Bottles and pour into the fish bowl. Make sure you use enough to fill it.

Step 4: Reveal which Orbeez Wow World Wowzer Surprise Wowzer you have! Pour water into the top of the glove to reveal your Wowzer.

Step 5: Put your Wowzer in the fish bowl.

Step 6: Pour water into the fish bowl to watch your fish bowl come to life!

The best thing about Orbeez is that they can be reused again and again to make all kinds of fun creations! My kids had an absolute blast with these Orbeez products! I highly recommend these products to keep your kids busy this summer!

Orbeez Grown Orbeez Bottles are available at Target, Walmart, Walgreens and Amazon. Orbeez Wow World Wowzer Surprise Series are available at Target, Amazon, and Claire’s.

Your Child will have a blast this Summer on the Globber Primo 3-Wheel Scooter!

June 30, 2019 By Marijean

Check out the fun Globber Primo 3-Wheel Scooter!

Kids are all about Scooters these days! With so many brands and types available, how do you know which one if the best for your toddler/preschool aged child? I had the opportunity to check out the new Globber Primo 3-Wheel Scooter, and I will let you know why this one has my vote!

About the Primo Scooter:

The Globber Primo 3-Wheel is the perfect scooter that’ll grow with your child. With a modifiable design, low deck for stability, and adjustable handlebars, your little one will be scooting along in no time!

Offering a range of patented innovations without compromising on style or functionality, the Primo 3-Wheel is guaranteed to deliver ultimate value for money!

Make sure to check out the patented secure Direction Button Lock which keeps the scooter moving in a straight line to help your child learn balance and gain confidence while riding! Reinforced body supports up to 50kg. Available in colors: Red, Dark Blue, Pink, Green, and Light Blue.

MSRP: $99.99

Age: 2-6 years

Available: Toys “R” Us, Canadian Tire, Indigo, Mastermind, Amazon

This scooter is perfect for a child that is around the ages of 2-6. You can even push to age 7 since my 7-year old son fits on it well. I love 3-wheel scooters because getting the act of balancing is easier on this type of scooter. Plus, very little chance of falling while learning to use it. It also teaches your child to lean on the side they wish to turn. This scooter comes in a variety of colors for any girl or boy! I was sent a red scooter to review, and I love the bright color of it.

One really cool feature of this scooter is that it has a Direction Button Lock. You can use this lock so the scooter stays straight so your child can learn to balance easier. It also has easy adjustable handle bars so this is the perfect scooter to grow with your child, and will last many years.

The scooter is made very well, it is not flimsy or cheap feeling. It is very solid. This scooter also has a heel brake that is very easy for the child to use and to stop the scooter.

There are so many pros to this scooter. The ones that make this scooter an A+ for me is the sturdiness of the scooter, ease of use for the child, direction button lock and adjustable handle bars. I love that it can grow with the child and be used for many years. Check out this fun scooter today!!

*I received this Scooter in exchange for this review. All thoughts are my own.
