[Ad – Gifted Products] Poke-In Art has created the Poke-In Art Easter Fun! kit which is perfect for the Easter holiday! We have not done one of these sorts of kits before, but the whole thing was extremely easy to set up for Robin to enjoy. Inside the box, there are five different designs, a ton of little fabric bits that can be pushed in, a stand for each of the designs and two pokers so that two people can use the kit at once.

[Ad – Gifted Products] The weather has been fantastic, there has been very little rain, so it’s time to check out some toys that encourage outdoor play without their phones! The Terra Kids Connectors – Construction Set Figures is a fantastic mix of plastic pieces, corks and thin wooden rods, along with a tool to make holes in your sticks to create your creatures. Robin started off by taking a little walk around our local pond, picking up all sorts of thick sticks along the way. She gathered up so many options – which turns out was very good – as having options always does help.

[Ad – Gifted Products] Every other Monday, we find ourselves at our local Geek Retreat playing a board game afterschool. This little tradition always brings a lot of fun to the boring, back-to-school feeling Mondays. This week, we played Boba Bonanza!

You need to make sure your family members have the same sort of vibe going into it, as there is a lot of scrambling to be done.

Previously, Robin has reviewed the Zzopla Mini Ball, which is a smaller version of this toy, however she also got her hands on this red Zzzopla Thunder Ball (thunder being the design) which is full sized! It’s quite a bit larger and heavier than the mini, creating something that doesn’t quite adapt itself as well to being a fidget, but does have some very fun uses.

[Ad – Gifted Products] We have a tradition of playing with board games every other Monday, at our local Geek Retreat, where we find ourselves spending some wind-down after the first school and work day of the week. We’ve been exploring a bunch of the Dogman board games, so went on to play Dogman 20,000 Fleas Under the Sea as Robin is such a big Dogman fan! We often feel that getting the board games that contain these book characters really encourages reading in our household.
