Moulin Roty Shadow Puppets Let Imagination Soar #giveaway

February 28, 2014 by dadofdivas 4 Comments

Moulin Roty Shadow Puppets

As a father i am always looking for things that will promote imagination and creativity. This especially occurs at bedtime when we make up stories, and simply have fun winding down the day. Bring in these Nightime Shadow Puppets from Moulin Roty.

I was able to try out the two sets that you see in the pictures here and I have to first say that I was so impressed with the overall quality of these. As a past puppeteer I can completely appreciate fine quality when it comes to puppets and this definitely provided that.

On top of this though the Shadow Puppets were so much fun and the company put so much detail into them,

The two sets I was able to test drive were the Castles and Dinosaurs sets. What was fun about the sets was that with the right lighting you could create big shadows and with your imagination you could create a story that would bring a smile to your childs’ face.

Moulin Roty Shadow Puppets

My daughters particularly liked the Castles set, and seemed to love having the Dragon being the protagonist in all of their stories.

On top of this all of the sets are reasonably priced in my opinion. The Paris Shadows ($21) set shows the Eiffel Tower, airplane, moon and sleepwalker. The 9-piece Castle Shadows ($18.50) include a dragon, a fairy, royalty and a witch! If dinos are more your style, the Dinosaur Shadows ($18.50) pack of 10 puppets feature a stegosaurus, brachiosaurus and more prehistoric shapes.

In the end these puppets are wonderfully made and truly sparked the creative juices in myself and in my girls. I highly recommend this to all!

Kelly Kits ( @kellykitsart ) – Creativity Through the Mail

October 24, 2012 by dadofdivas 41 Comments

Kelly Kits began about 4 1/2 years ago right before the owner’s second daughter Violet was born. A dear friend of the owner’s daughter was about to turn two and she was gift shopping. So she asked her friend what kind of gifts she was interested in. She said, “You know, we just have so many clothes and toys already, what I really need is something fun and creative I can do with my daughter.” The owner’s brain exploded at the word creative and she set to work on creating a box filled with age appropriate art play activities. Each activity was conveniently packaged in a ziplock baggie containing every possible ingredient and and instruction card. She knew her friend and her love of convenience products, so she wanted to make it as EASY as possible for her to grab a “baggie” and sit down at the table for some quality fun time.

Kelly Kits is an all inclusive art play curriculum for children 2-102. Every art play activity focuses on a simple art techniques in painting, sculpting, drawing, print-making, and collage. Their subscription features one kit a month with access to contests, online community and instructional videos for only $9.99 – shipping and handling included!!! The owner wants to challenge parents to spend quality time their their children. Kelly Kits is as much about art play as it is creating bonding moments for parents and children thus helping to create stronger, healthier, happier families.

My Take on the Kits

The kit I am reviewing is one to make “clay” or something similar to ”play dough”. The kit arrived with the step by step directions which were also illustrated. They were easy to follow and provided all the information I needed to know to make sure I made the “clay” correctly. The process was easy and did not take much time. My daughter was visiting her grandmother so I had this available for them to do together. Diva-PJ was eager to create something with the “clay”. She decided to use some of my cookie cutters to produce shapes. She totally enjoyed the experience. After she was done, we packed up the “clay” in a zip lock bag and she took it home where she will use it again.

 

I will add that when I mixed the “clay ” mixture in the bowl, I was concerned that the clay left in the bowl would not clean properly. This is non toxic and I just put some water in the bowl and let it sit and the small amount of “clay” left in the bowl dissolved. I would love to see the other kits that Kelly Kits has to offer.
I encourage you to to check out their creative kits and get creative with your kids today! You can find out more here!

K’Nex New Toys Bring Fun and Imagination into Play

September 10, 2011 by dadofdivas 33 Comments

K’Nex is a company that truly stands apart from so many others. It pushes kids to use their imagination. I had the opportunity to try out some of the new K’Nex toys that are on the market. I have to say that I was very impressed. I took a few minutes to talk about my thoughts on the toys here.

 

I highly recommend these toys to all children because that are definitely more than toys, but instead they are so educational in nature. I love the creativity that these toys encourage and how they allow kids to learn and grow along with the toys themselves.

If you are looking for a fun educational toy, this is one that you will want in your own home!

Dragonart Evolution

September 19, 2010 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

With the growing popularity of DeviantArt.com, a safe online community of over 14.5 million young artists who showcase and discuss their original artwork, DRAGONART EVOLUTION is a priceless guide to join the artistic and creative fun.  Kids can become part of the craze by uploading their dragon art to the site, which is host to over 100 million submissions.

From feathered to sea creature, DRAGONART EVOLUTION features all-new dragons and detailed anatomy instruction in one fiercely designed dragon encyclopedia.  Also included:
  • 60+ step-by-step demonstrations covering a variety of dragons, including medieval, fairy and sea-dwelling wyrms
  • In-depth advice for drawing every part of the beast – eyes, ears, horns, wings, scale patterns, limbs and more
  • Extra tips and tricks provided by your dragon guide, Dolosus
With DRAGONART EVOLUTION’s drawing tutorials, you can observe and illustrate your dragon portraits more authentically, without losing any limbs!  I look forward to discussing this exciting new book with you. 

My Take on the BookThis is the second book in the series, but seeing that this was the first book that I had seen, I was impressed with how easy the book made it to draw dragons. This is the type of book that I would have loved in growing up as I was always drawing those days. Thus, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to draw, and who likes to especially draw dragons.

I see this book as a great reference guide for the stylized artist. A great book all-around that will help you to finish off your training on the drawing of dragons.

If this book looks like something that you would like for your family you can find it on Amazon!
