Valentine Heart Garland with Pipe Cleaners and Beads

$
0
0

This is a fun (and cute) Valentine's Day craft project that can get even the little tots involved.  Make a pretty garland to decorate for Valentine's Day using just colored pipe cleaners and beads.

Supplies:
Pipe cleaners in red, pink and white
Clear pony beads

Making the garland is pretty easy.  First fold a pipe cleaner in half.  Let your little one string bead on each side of the crease.  You can decide if you want lots or a little.  (Keep in mind that it will get heavy with lots of beads!)

Once the beads are on, bend each side of the pipe cleaner into a curve, making a heart shape and twist other ends together to keep in shape.  For each additional heart, loop it through the previous shape before twisting shut. 



We had a great time making these, but Little R actually had MORE fun making his own creations out of the pipe cleaners and beads!

About Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!:  Produced by Bolder Media, Inc. in association with Starz Media’s Film Roman Animation Studio, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! has been a hit with young viewers and families since its 2006 premiere on Nickelodeon®. The top-rated series, which airs daily on Nick Jr®, supports preschool social skills – sharing, listening, compromising, helping and appreciating others, self-awareness and the use of humor as a coping skill. Although their world is more fanciful and imaginative than our own, Wubbzy and his friends deal with the same social and developmental issues faced by preschoolers.

Purex Crystals for Baby Review, Sweepstakes and Reader Giveaway

Babies already smell so good themselves, and now you can make their laundry smell extra-good too. Purex has added Purex Crystals for Baby to their line of crystal products. This new product is made specifically for babies, keeping in mind their gentle skin.

Purex Crystals for Baby is hypoallergenic, dye free and made with an 87% natural formula. It's even safe for children's sleepwear. Just add them in with your laundry detergent.



We recently gave Purex Crystals for Baby a try. I like that by adding the smallest amount of crystals indicated that the laundry is left with just a light scent. It isn't overpowering, but just soft and pleasant. If you did want MORE scent, you could just add more crystals to each load.

Sweepstakes: To celebrate the launch of Purex Crystals for Baby, Purex is hosting a Welcome to the World Sweepstakes. One lucky grand prize winner will win $1,000 and 250 second place winners will each receive a free bottle of Purex Crystals for Baby.  Enter here.

Reader Giveaway: 3 lucky Jinxy Kids readers will each win a coupon for a FREE bottle of Purex Crystals for Baby. To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 2/17/12. Good luck!

A Fun New App from Peppa Pig - Happy Mrs. Chicken - A Review

$
0
0

Your little Peppa Pig fans can explore a whole new world of fun with the brand new “Happy Mrs. Chicken” app ($2.99).

We recently had the opportunity to test out the app and had lots of fun!  It has five different interactive games, several of which have different levels of play (i.e. for beginners and then a little more tricky.)  As you play the games, you can earn virtual stickers that are stored in your virtual “sticker book”.



The games support the development of creative thinking and hand-eye coordination skills through mazes, puzzles, matching games and more.  The  touch screen interaction, intuitive game play and audio instructions allow children to enjoy the app independently (but it's fun to play together too!)


Little R's favorite game is Chicken Coop.  As Happy Mrs. Chicken lays her eggs they hatch and your job is to scoot the chicks into the correct hen house.  The basic level has only one color chick (much easier) and isn't timed.  In the highest level you have two colors of chicks and a timer so definitely more tricky!



I was surprised that Muddy Puddles wasn't his favorite game because it involves jumping in puddles!  You move from puddle to puddle and jump until all the mud is gone before moving on to the next one.



I personally LOVE the old-school style of  the Maxe game.  You leave a trail of chicken feed for Happy Mrs. Chicken to lead her through the maze to the other side.  There are 6 different levels of difficulty for the mazes.

I also have to mention the jigsaw puzzle game - I thought that one was fun myself as well!  Plus the music in the game is awesome - very happy and cheery, just like Happy Mrs. Chicken!

The app also includes appearances by more favorite characters:  George, Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, Suzy Sheep and Rebecca Rabbit.
Peppa Pig's “Happy Mrs. Chicken” app is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, NokiaE7, N8, C7 and C6-01 Android operating system 2.1 and above.

New Zimmiz Are Out of this World! - Reader Giveaway

Who ever said that technology can't be cuddly?  Meet Zimmiz!  These cute little guys with wide-open sparkling eyes, chubby cheeks and incredible lifelike facial expressions are now making their planetary debut as a brand-new app for the iPhone and iPod.

Designed for little Earthlings ages 4 and up, the free app is now available on the App Store. An Android version of the new app will be available sometime this year. Like any young friend, Zimmiz shows a range of playful emotions and reactions – actually over 300 animations and responses!

Zimmiz laughs when tickled, forgets to cover his mouth when he sneezes, closes his eyes when he gets tired, becomes annoyed when poked, blows bubbles with gum, sings, repeats, fogs up the screen, chokes on his food, burps and even…farts (or as we call it, the more polite "toots")! When Zimmiz is dropped, held upside down or given a little shake, he may laugh, get dizzy, or, worse, get sick!

Children simply slide open his mouth to access cool games – and they can make their Zimmiz entirely their own by customizing its eyes and skin color as well as the shape of its nose, lips, teeth and signature birthmark with millions of possible combinations! Zimmiz owners can save the unique look that they create for their Zimmiz “freemium” app and, for just $0.99, they can change the look of their Zimmiz as often as they like.

To add to all the Zimmiz fun at home and on the road, a specially-designed plush toy featuring pose-able hands and antennas as well as a pocket for snuggly slipping the iPhone inside is now available at BuildABear.com!

Reader Giveaway:  One lucky Jinxy Kids reader will win their own adorable Zimmiz plush.  To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 2/24/13.  Good luck!

Escape from Planet Earth Lands in Theaters Tomorrow! - Reader Giveaway

I always get excited when I see ads for an upcoming animated movie that looks like it will be one that grown-ups can enjoy as much as the kids! Today we are celebrating the release of The Weinstein Company’s new film, “Escape from Planet Earth,” which hits theaters tomorrow, Friday, February 15th! If you haven't seen the official trailer yet, you can find it at  EscapeEarthMovie.com.
The 3D animated family comedy catapults moviegoers to planet Baab where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA. When BASA’s no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary’s warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker (William Shatner) it’s up to scrawny, risk-averse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira (Sarah Jessica Parker) and their adventure-hungry son Kip (Jonathan Morgan Heit). 



I'm also excited about the awesome cast - it's really an all-star line-up.   The blurb above doesn't even include Jane Lynch and George Lopez who play two of the alien engineers.  You'll also hear the voices of Ricky Gervais and Sofia Vergara - I LOVE both of them!


For some more out-of-this-world fun, you can get the FREE Escape from Planet Earth Move App available for iOS and for Android. The app is super fun!  It has a story book, a game, video and my favorite - the photo bomb!!  You can take your own pictures and insert yourself in along with characters from the movie.  I literally did this one in 5 seconds, but I plan to go back and make some much better shots.  You can also share your cool new photos via email, Twitter and Facebook.  How fun is that??


Reader Giveaway:  One lucky Jinxy Kids reader will win a $25 Visa Gift Card & Escape from Earth Movie Goers Prize Pack.  To enter, just fill out the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 3/1/13.  GOOD LUCK!
