DIY Custom Baseball Letters

DIY Baseball DecorDesign your own Baseball Art!Nothing says a custom sports room quite like personalized letters. These go a step further & actually turn a bat into part of the nameplate…what kid wouldn’t love that? This is a fun project to do with the kids, you just need some basic tools.

All you need for this project is a little paint, a few letters, an old wooden bat and some creativity! It’s a pretty simple project that even the kids can get involved with.

You’re going to want a Wooden Baseball Bat, I suggest getting a cheap one. Even used would be totally fine for this project. Any acrylic paint will do the job so don’t break the bank on that either. This Liquitex BASICS Set has everything & the colors are vibrant. You’ll notice that baseballs have sharp red stitch lines that define the art. I’m going to assume you are not an artist & recommend a Red Paint Pen which is essentially a marker filled with paint. It’s very easy to use & good for any crafty project so be sure to keep it. You’ll also need some wooden letters, These letters are pretty classy.

Once you get the letters painted you should screw the letters to the bat…I recommend pre-drilling the holes so the wood doesn’t split. Then touch up the screw heads with paint!

The end results is a cool baseball themed decor piece for your kids space.

It has no loose parts so it’s good for the car or as a thing to take to dinner to keep the kids busy.Because of how this works it helps with hand eye coordination, motor skills & honestly it’s nice to see a toy that challenges their brain.

Perplexus Rookie Puzzle BallsIt’s also not just for kids, every single person that has seen the ball picks it up & plays with it. Making this one of those fun everybody gifts!

Three Stooges Mr. Potato Head Set

Mr-Potato-Head-The-Three-Stooges_15443-lWhat could be more iconic than a Three Stooges Mr. Potato Head Set? Most of my childhood memories revolve around watching endless hours of the Three Stooges…and then making the stupid noises, obnoxious sayings & of course trying to beat the snot out of each other just like the Stooges did in the show. Ahhh, memories…good thing we didn’t have access to pies or giant wooden mallets! Somehow my cousins & I all managed to not be sociopaths or serial killers…which is always good thing. I have always fondly remembered the Stooges The role they played in my life at 10pm every Saturday.

Mr-Potato-Head-The-Three-Stooges_15444-lSo you can imagine my delight in finding they the made Stooges into these hilarious potato heads! Even better they used curly & not Shemp…that would have been a disaster. Each Stooge stands 6″tall & comes with the classic accoutrements including a mallet, wrench & the beloved pie. Moe is of course in the eye poke stance & curly is ready for the block. They are designed for anyone age 2 & up plus all the parts can be mix up to make one crazy Stooge!

Mr-Potato-Head-The-Three-Stooges_15445-lThese are great for younger kids that love the show or die hard collectors that want to display their collection on a shelf or in their office. The set of 3 comes in a snazzy display box but I recommend taking them out so you can play with them. Life is too short to keep awesome toys trapped in boxes, plus how could you enjoy them? So break out your wallets & get yourself or someone you love the gift of Stooge!

ALEX Toys My Crafty Kit

ALEX Toys My Crafty KitLooking for the best kids craft box on the market? Tired of those wimpy little craft sets? If you have little kids then the ALEX Toys My Crafty Kit is going to be perfect for you! It comes loaded with all kinds of fabulous crafty pieces & the price is great for such a variety. The best part is it’s totally packed in a very spiffy carrying case…which you will never use because there is so much stuff loaded in this kit that it won’t fit back in (really, that’s a good thing). So save your sanity & buy a a little storage box & let the kids use the travel case for some other toys..trust me they love little boxes.

ALEX Toys My Crafty Kit 2So Ideally this is great for any kid three & up…sky’s the limit on who can create after that. It comes with tissue paper, crayons, glue, safety scissors (perfect for little hands), pipes cleaners, popsicle sticks, goggle eyes, stickers, pom poms & lots of little collage pieces & random crafty goodness. It also comes with instructions, not that your kids will need much help designing their fabulous art creations. The carrying case is 8″ x 11.75″ x 3.5″ & is super colorful & bright.

My Big Crafty KitBasically this is the perfect kit to drag out on rainy days or just when you are tired of the kids being attached to the TV. It has so much stuff you can use it many times over & just add to the craft pile when things get low. If you are having a kids party or sleepover this kit is ideal for hours of silly entertainment! Not to mention the awesome artwork that you will have for your fridge.

See that picture of how full the box is? That is just how stuffed the kit will be so plan on having a spare box or tote for all the crap that won’t fit back in the box! That’s right the only complain is there is too much stuff….hardly a problem for crafty kids!

Minions Fart Blaster Toy Gun

Despicable Me 2 Fart Blaster A Despicable Minion GadgetOk, I admit it, I love the minions & all the obnoxiousness that comes with them…weird language, obsessions with food & of course their favorite weapon, a fart gun. I pretty much loved both movies but the kids in the theater gagging with laughter over the fart gun scenes were hilarious.

Now mind you I am a grown adult, well beyond the fart joke years…until I saw this gem at the store. I was minding my business checking out the new minion toys (because I am really obsessed with them) & then my eyes locked on a strange but silly looking weapon. I stopped, daintily picked it up, read the box, flipped it back over & pulled the trigger…then I laughed like an idiot…then laughed some more , & obsessively pulled the trigger while trying to come up with some conceivable logic for purchasing this gun. After all it’s not a cheap toy…but after a full ten minutes of playing with this fart gun it occurred to me that it’s just to good to pass up, I work hard & dang it I deserve nice things, even if that means a weird fart gun. I mean how much stupid junk have I bought the kids over the years? Surely it’s my turn!?

Fart Blaster DeluxeSo yes I am a 36 year old woman with a fart gun in my office, it lights up & makes me happy, so there. I’m not sure if there is an evil minion support group but I would definitely bring the gun with me if there was. No when dealing with the fart gun market you should know you have options. The standard Minion Fart Blaster or the Deluxe Despicable Me 2 Banana Scented Fart Gun, This one is bigger and makes a fabulous farting minion banana aroma. Which kinda makes it more funny.

 

Oh FYI kids seem to really love this toy as well!

Despicable Me 2 Minions Giant Wall Decals

Minions stacking Wall decalsLooking for some Snazzy Minion Wall Decals? Minions are possibly my favorite characters in any movie I’ve ever seen…which says a lot since I’m a total movie buff. I’m not sure if it’s because my dad called me an evil minion all the time or that I’ve just been hypnotized by their chubby yellow bodies & blue overalls…The welding glasses are a nice touch too! Either way I simply cannot get enough of the minions…cakes, toys, board games…it all makes me laugh.

This groovy wall decal set is by RoomMates & features 3 minions …they can be stacked as shown or not as they come on a sheet separately. They also have a few spiffy accessories…a traffic cone, fart gun (of course), Bello quote blurb, caution sign, apple, banana, & two cupcakes. Perfect for tricking out your office, kids room or even adding a little class to that painfully boring laundry room. if you stack your minions you get a decal that is 48″ tall & somewhere around 18″ wide.

Minions Stacking Wall DecalThese decals are super easy to apply just peel & stick to any flat surface like walls, doors, mirrors or even furniture. They are made to be removed & repositioned so they won’t hurt your walls or leave an weird sticky crud behind…which also makes them great for apartments or rental spaces.

If you are as obsessed about these as I am then you’ll be delighted to find out they make a growth chart & set that includes more of the cast, they also match perfectly with this one. Ideal for a full room makeover!

Girl’s Playhouse Pink Princess Castle Play Tent

Pink Princess Castle Fairy House Kids Play TentTired of the kids being attached to electronics? Get them a Pink Princess Castle Play Tent that will let their imagination run wild! It’s a known fact that all kids love play tents & forts so why not get them the coolest pink princess castle in all the land!? It’s great for rainy days inside or just leave it up all the time as part of your princesses decor.

This durable tent is made just for kids so it’s nice & sturdy for years of hard kid play. It’s geared for kids age 3 & up but I don’t see any small parts so with younger kids playing in it make sure they are supervised…I would think climbing would be the only issue.

It features a two tone pink design that girls will adore, with small hearts & stars covering the bottom half of the tent. it comes with a floor so it’s Ok to take outside on nice days (I wouldn’t leave it outside permanently), it sets up in about 2 minutes & easily pops apart to store…it even comes with a carrying case to store it in. It has a front door/flap that can be closed with Velcro and two back “windows” to look out of.

Princess Castle Fairy House Kids Play TentThese are great to have around the house for grand kids, or other family with little people.it takes up very little storage space when not in use & small kids LOVE to camp in this thing. We have the circus tent version & the kids like to set it up for movie night & watch from inside the tent like they are at the drive in…it’s hilarious.

 

ALEX Toys My Giant Busy Box Little Hands

My Giant Busy BoxMy Giant Busy Box by ALEX toys is perfect for toddlers & little people!

If you’re like me then you have a gaggle of kids in your house & that means that out of nowhere…with what seems like an entire toy store worth of crap in your home you hear that epic whine…””I’m Booooored”. Now sometimes that means you give them something to clean like the gutters or maybe you have those little tykes mow the lawn…but some days you just have to give in and get them started on a fabulous project that is fun & maybe a little messy but definitely, Not boring. This crafty activity box is Perfect for those days!

Early Learning My Giant Busy BoxIn this craft kit you get 16 different projects, lots of parts, brightly colored dough, stickers, crayons & instructions…because those are Always nice to have. There are super crafty moms (the ones that post epic projects on Pinterest all day) that won’t be impressed by this kit…they shouldn’t buy it. This kit is for people with real lives that want simple projects with their kids & to have all the parts right there with little planning….I am one of these moms. This kit is geared towards kids ages 3 to 5. The older kids will have no trouble doing most of this themselves but I’m not brave enough to leave a 3 year old alone with glue or clay, it’s just no in me. Honestly kids as old as 10 have used this in my house & still had fun so I wouldn’t worry about that age label on this creative kit.

My Giant Busy Box2This is great for dragging out every couple weeks when the kids boredom sets in & these are fun projects to do with your kids. Anything that gets them off the electronics & doing something creative is a good thing.

Now the biggest issue with this kit is in fact it’s size, once you open the box you better just forget about jamming it all back in there. That alone makes it impressive, I hate buying kits & opening them to find a whole bunch of air & no crafts! Alex is on your side with this issue.

MarbleWorks Starter Set by Discovery Toys

MarbleWorks Starter Set by Discovery ToysLooking for a fun interactive building set for your kids…and you? Marble runs are a fun way to unplug & actually play with a toy. This particular one is the toughest on the market (as tested by my pack of boys), We’ve had a few fatalities with other brands. It’s built for kids so it’s very sturdy…which is a super important feature…and easy for kids to build on their own. Even with lots of use ours has lasted for at least 3 years without a single piece broken…lost marbles seems to be the only for us & user error can hardly count against this toy!

MarbleWorks Starter Sets by Discovery ToysThis Marbleworks Starter Set is perfect for a anyone that wants to play with marbles & comes with lots of pieces (46 to be exact). The age bracket on this kit is ages five & up but younger kids like 3-4 love it… although you will have to put it together for them & make sure they don’t try to eat it. The starter set features bright purple, blue & yellow colors & can be mix with any other MarbleWorks sets.

The basic idea is to connect tubes, bases & chutes together in different ways to race your marbles down. Kids can learn the laws of gravity & critical thinking to get that marble where they want it to go. It’s great for a family toy & I highly recommend getting more than one kit, the Marbleworks Deluxe is a good choice or simply get 2 starter sets…they are kinda like Legos, more pieces are just better no matter what the pieces really are.. Or if your kids already like this get some of the extras like the Wild Ride or the Crank it Up! There are tons of options & millions of possibilities with a set like this. The kid will have a blast and you will have a great unplugged toy for rainy days.

despicable me 2 minionsThis “toy” is for kids age 4 & up, but I see no reason to limit this to kids. Dave talks of course & says fifty five different sayings in hilarious minion speak & movie voice. He changes facial expressions while talking, so that makes him even more fun. His eyes close & move side to side as you move his head…which is a soft rubbery material. You can pretend to feed Dave when he’s in banana mode…this makes him fart…Super banana mode (press his tongue twice) makes the farts even bigger! He also farts if you move his head…keep feeding him Classy!

Now if you are a Die hard Dave fan you can find him here, They also make Tim (the tall skinny one) or Stewart (with one eye). They do different stuff…Tim Sings & Stewart laughs.
