Bio DoUgh Review

| Kidding Around Australia

We love playing with play dough! We use it everyday at The Bush Bus as it is a great sensory activity for improving fine motor skills, inspires imaginations and increases creativity.

IMG_6554

What we put into our play dough is very important to us, so we were thrilled that local Sydney mum Rana Semaan has created Bio DoUgh which is made from food-grade ingredients that are sourced from certified Australian suppliers.

Bio DoUgh smells AMAZING!!! It is a sensory feast that Alegria and Isaac LOVED!

IMG_6560

There are 9 vibrant colours and scents to play with in the “Bio DoUgh – Rainbow in a Bag (RRP $29.95)” that contains 9 x 125g – White (Coconut), Pink (Fairy Floss), Red (Strawberry), Orange (Orange), Yellow (Pineapple), Green (Lime), Blue (Blueberry) Purple (Lavender) and Black (Blackberry).

EASYREAD TIME TEACHER REVIEW

| Kidding Around Australia

Let me set the scene. COVID-19. Lock down and Remote Learning. 2020.

As we began remote learning, we realised that we could turn this into an opportunity to see where our kids really stood academically.

FB_IMG_1586929708573

Telling time was something that we hadn’t really thought of but soon discovered that we did not have an analogue clock in our home. Yes, really. How could the kids learn to tell the time if we didn’t have clock for them on our walls?

DSC_2476

We were introduced to the EasyRead Time Teacher and found that it is perfect for teaching children to tell the time.

The watch, clock and resources are available in two versions, the ‘past and to’ or a 24 hour, we opted for the past and to version for Alegria and Isaac. There is merit to both though and we have since found out that they need to understand both methods. Anyway, we have to start somewhere so here we are!

DSC_2478

The EasyRead Time Teacher is an ideal teacher to help your child learn to tell the time.  Its clear design and simple 3-step teaching system make it very easy for children to learn to read the time in terms of ‘minutes past’ and ‘minutes to’ the hour.

Step 1: Read the number at the end of the long hand.

Step 2: Say “minutes to” if it’s pointing to the red side of the watch, or say “minutes past” if it’s pointing to the green side (it’s written there if your child can read).

Step 3: Read the number at the end of the short hand.  Like this: 10…minutes to…2.

WATCH

easyread-past-to-watches__45331.1573386704.1280.1280

This is the ideal first watch for children age 4+. The clear face design and simple teaching method make it really easy for children to learn to tell the time. The washable nylon strap fits wrists from 12 cm to 18 cm (child to adult).

The version we have is water resistant to splashes [no swimming or bath time!] they do have a water proof version and I would get that if you don’t want to feel panicked that you will forget and the kids will jump in the bath or the pool and ruin it!

CLOCK

ertt-easy-read-time-teacher-wall-clock-choose-from-2-colors-952193_00

Our family use this clock everyday! The EasyRead 2 or 3-step teaching method leads children through the process of learning to tell the time. The clear dial carries all the information children need to learn to tell the time.

RESOURCES

DSC_2471

The cards can be used to play various games including snap, matching pairs, buddy-up and bingo. Each game will help in teaching your child to learn to tell the time. Each pack contains 60 playing cards showing 15 different times of the day (4 of each time), plus 2 double-sided game instruction cards.

DSC_2466

The TwinTime Student Cards are a ‘hands on’ teaching resource for children learning the time elements of the primary school numeracy curriculum. The cards are double-sided and feature a Past & To dial on one side, and a 24 hour time dial on the other; with independently moveable hands on both sides. They are made from high gloss write on wipe off PVC sheet, and have a space below the clock to write the time displayed on the clock. These cards are useful for counting forwards and backwards from 30; for learning fractions; and counting in 5s and 10s.

MORE INFORMATION

Price: EasyRead Watch – $39.95 ($59.95 for waterproof); EasyRead Wall Clock – from $39.95 Resources – from $9.95

SPACETALK, a children’s all-in-one mobile phone, smart watch and GPS – REVIEW

| Kidding Around Australia

If your kids are anything like ours, there comes a time when they start asking for a phone of their own. That wasn’t going to be an option for Alegría and Isaac (#sorrynotsorry) but we couldn’t deny that there were times when being able to contact them would come in handy. However one thing was for sure – we didn’t want them to have access to the internet or social media and we wanted to control who was able to contact them.

SPACETALK IMAGE 7.jpg

We started to research options and soon came across the amazing Australian designed SPACETALK All-in-one smartwatch, smartphone and GPS device for kids*.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Let me say, this watch is a game changer in our house! So much so, that we asked the good people at SPACETALK if we could run a competition for you to win a SPACETALK of our own and they said “Yes!” We can’t wait to give away a SPACETALK to a very lucky Kidding Around Australia reader! Honestly, the SPACETALK gives parents peace of mind and kids freedom to explore – and that is what we are all about!

SPACETALK IMAGE 9

Before we get into the competition nitty gritty, I want to let you know about the features of the SPACETALK and how we have found each feature whilst trialling the product for review.

GPS Tracking: The SPACETALK is connected directly to the AllMyTribe app (which is really easy to set up) so we can see in real time exactly where the kids are! It’s also handy if the SPACETALK gets lost – you can just go and pick it up.

SPACETALK IMAGE 11 (1).jpg

Safe Zones and Location on Demand – using the GPS feature we can set up ‘safe zones’ via the app which alerts us when the kids have (or haven’t) arrived at a particular location. We have been telling friends about this feature and they were excited to use it when their kids ride their bikes to school. With the ‘location on demand’ feature, we can simply request a child’s exact location and it updates us immediately or the kids can send us their location.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Send and receive calls and messages: Peace of mind is paramount so it’s comforting to know that only the people that we have loaded into the app can contact the kids – we’ve added us, the grandparents and a couple of friends and family members. Any ‘unauthorised’ calls or texts are alerted to us via the app. Alegría and Isaac can call the pre-loaded contacts at any time (although we’ve made sure that they know they will run out of credit if they call for a chat and it really should be only if they really need to. So far so good, we haven’t run out of our PAYG credit yet!). 

With the message feature – Alegría and Isaac can only reply back with pre-loaded messages that we’ve added in via the app. The app contains some suggestions and we have loaded things like “I’m leaving now”, “Call me please”, “Goodnight! I’m going to sleep now” (for sleepovers), “I’m running late” and “I love you”.

Also, all of our data is stored with high grade security in Australia under strict Australian privacy laws which is often not the case. In fact, SPACETALK is the safest and most secure device of its kind on the market and the only kids smartwatch that meets general data protection regulation (GDPR) requirements.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

School approved with School mode – this mode is fantastic! Listed technology company MGM Wireless (MWR) pre-empted the school mobile phone ban while designing and developing SPACETALK for children aged between four and 12. We are able to restrict features during school hours such as incoming and outgoing calls, messaging, step counter, location and the stopwatch by setting a timer on the app which switches off the features at 8.50am and reactivates the features at 3.15pm so the SPACETALK is literally a watch during the day and the kids aren’t distracted.

SPACETALK IMAGE 13.jpg

Watch, step counter, set alarms/reminders weather report, torch and reward stars – Alegría and Isaac loved these features! It made them feel like they had a “real” phone with apps and we had peace of mind that they were safe from the dangers of internet and social media access. The app also keeps a history of their steps for the week which they loved seeing!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

SOS Feature: This is another very clever and helpful feature. If Alegría and Isaac are ever in a situation where they feel unsafe they just need to press the SOS button on the side of the watch and anyone that is on the ‘Emergency Contact’ list will be called or notified in the order of the list. We can access the app and track their location and of course speak to them or text them to make sure they are okay.

SPACETALK IMAGE 5

Battery life: The SPACETALK comes with a magnetic charger which attaches to the back of the watch. Your child should charge it every night ready for the next day and you are sent a reminder on the App if it isn’t being charged (it also notifies you if the watch is switched on and off). To extend battery life, you should change the GPS updates to hour intervals instead of every 15 minutes. This makes safe zones less effective but you can change it if there is movement you are anticipating. Everything can be altered quickly and easily.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Easy Set Up: Using the SPACETALK is really easy, simply download the AllMyTribe app and sign up for your subscription. You set your kids up in 6 easy steps and then you can spend your time customising the SPACETALK. The app is only $5.99/month for 2 devices or up to 5 devices for $8.99/month. You will also need a sim card, we got one from Aldi for $5 and have set it up on as a Pay As You Go plan (we put $15 on and haven’t run out after 3 weeks).

SPACETALK IMAGE 14.jpg

There are a few cool little features too – like customising individual photos to contacts names and the wallpaper as well as changing the watch face (a traditional analogue clock for Alegría and digital for Isaac) at any time. They love this feature! It’s also splash proof, dust proof and built for kids (they come with a screen protector and you can buy additional packs from the website – which we had to do because Alegría’s got caught on her jumper and fell off. They are $8.95 for 2).

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – The Musical

| Kidding Around Australia
Charlie
We were lucky enough have golden tickets for the opening night of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne! Isaac was thrilled when “Charlie” announced at the beginning of the performance that “here you can eat as much candy as you like!”
charlie
Following a hugely successful six month season at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre, this spectacular musical is full of your favourite songs from the original 1971 film, including “Pure Imagination”, “The Candy Man” and “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket”, coupled with a brand new toe-tapping musical score.
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory Melbourne 2
True to the original story, the show follows Charlie Bucket, played by Melbourne’s talented child actors Benjamin Belsey (10), Elijah Slavinskis (10), Edgar Stirling (10), Lenny Thomas (12) and Lachlan Young (13), who lives with his mother and four bed-ridden grandparents in a tiny ramshackle house. Grandpa Joe, played by the amazing Tony Sheldon, keeps the magic alive as Charlie dreams of his yearly birthday treat, a single bar of Wonka’s Whipple Scrumptious Marshmallow Delight, as Mr Willy Wonka played by the charismatic Paul Slade Smith conducts a worldwide search for five lucky children to win Golden tickets for a tour of his factory and a chance to win a lifetime supply of chocolate!
“Come with me, and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination!”
Whilst the first half of the show sets up the visit to Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, the second half is where the magic happens! Get ready for the Oompa-Loompas, incredible inventions, the great glass elevator and special effects that will have young and old captivated!
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory Melbourne
The show goes for 2 hours and 30 minutes (with a 20 minute interval) so if you have little ones I’d suggest going to matinee performance. We were lucky that Isaac had a curriculum day the following day as we arrived home at midnight!
Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is sure to be loved during it’s Melbourne season so you should get your tickets to this everlasting showstopper before they head to Brisbane in March 2020!

Don’t Mess With The Dummies – MICF 2019

| Kidding Around Australia

“Don’t Mess With The Dummies” is the latest comedic offering from the award-winning Dummies Corp! We loved “Splash Test Dummies” last year so we were very excited to visit the Famous Spiegeltent during 2019 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Don't Mess with the Dummies Production Images - Ben Weinstein Photography13

The show features an all-female circus troupe, where Ellen Henry, Maya Tregonning and Shona Conacher take centre stage with an endearing blend of circus, comedy and loveable antics.

Don't Mess with the Dummies Production Images - Ben Weinstein Photography1

As silly as they are strong, we were entertained as we were taken on a camping adventure with these three daring and dynamic Dummies!

Don't Mess with the Dummies Production Images - Ben Weinstein Photography2
The show is full of slapstick and physical comedy – it seems there is nothing as funny as a bum in the face, which had the young audience in fits of laughter! Admittedly, the adults were laughing too! Trust us, you haven’t seen anything until you have seen “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” sung by sleeping bags!

Don't Mess with the Dummies Production Images - Ben Weinstein Photography11

Don’t Mess With The Dummies runs for 60 minutes and is showing at the Famous Spiegeltent at the Arts Centre Melbourne until April 21.

Tickets are available at www.comedyfestival.com.au

Smash Back-To-School, 2019 is available at Spotlight Stores!

| Kidding Around Australia

Happy New Year!

We are happily enjoying the school holidays and whilst I am enjoying not making school lunches at the moment, I know my carefree days are numbered so I thought I’d get prepared!

We like to start the new year with a new lunch box, so we ordered a Smash Nude Food Movers set in Live Free and Boy Tech for Alegria and our little soon-to-be big school student Isaac from Spotlight!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

For our back-to-school packs we selected a Bento Switch Up, glow in the dark drink bottle, double snack tubes and a light lunch bag.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The Bento Switch Up fits perfectly into the light lunch bag and the double snack tubes have a new flatter lid design to fit more into your lunch box!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The kids love the new designs, and have already declared that the glow in the dark drink bottles are their “bedtime drink bottles” so it was lucky that I ordered a sports chiller as well for school! The glow in the dark drink bottles keep their glow all night – perfect for these hot nights.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I’m so thankful that job number one for back-to-school is done and dusted, but if you will excuse me, I need to fire up the label maker … Oh, and any and all menu ideas are welcome!

The Smash Live Free and Boy Tech range is available at Spotlight from 1st January 2019, available only while stocks last.

BRICKMAN AWESOME – Review

| Kidding Around Australia

BRICKMAN AWESOME – Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught’s latest exhibition

WRITTEN BY GRIFFIN, 15 years.

Brickman 1

If you traveled to see Brickman Awesome by car, please enter through the the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre parking area on Grey St,  go to carpark 3, and catch the lift up to the Exhibition Hall 3. Please be aware that the sessions are booked by the hour, so leave plenty of time.

A friendly Brickman assistant greets you at the door to the Brickman Awesome exhibit, and will take your ticket and give you a business card that prompts you to find the all special figures that have been hidden throughout the whole exhibition, so that you have a chance to win some of best construction toy sets in the world- LEGO®!
Brickman 2
Upon entry you are greeted by a very familiar word to any true LEGO® fan- ‘Awesome’ – because everything to do with LEGO®, is Awesome!
Turning to the left at the entry, you have tables on both side of a very wide isle, with very iconic and creative LEGO® builds, that you are allowed to touch. The isles through the whole exhibit are very wide, so there plenty of room for the foot traffic, as well as parents with prams, and anyone in a wheelchair.
Brickman 6
At the end of the isle you see a large build that is a must for anyone who loves aquatic mammals. Just past that on the left was an iconic Australian arachnid, and the sheer size made my mother cringe slightly, but also marvel at the beauty and the detail of the build against a beautiful background.
Brickman 5
Around to the right was the most amazing build, that is clearly to honour the sponsor of this awesome event – Toyota. Let me say that this build had young and old marvelling over it, more photos where taken of this model than any other whole I was there, because the attention to detail is outstanding and the models appeal is for all ages.
As you walk around the exhibit, please don’t forget to look up, because there are a few gems up high out of eye level that you definitely don’t want to miss! Not to far away from the Toyota display, anyone can help join in an attempt to build the largest LEGO® snake, using your best creative patterns to create a small design to add to the wall, and parents found this a great photo opportunity that shows their child’s personal creativity and it really helped them feel a part of the display.
Brickman 3
There are 2 other opportunities for the kids to build with LEGO® bricks throughout the exhibit. One is for lovers of cute black and white animals that live in the snow. The second is for the kids that are interested in earthmoving, and they will find an amazing build by Ryan, the Brickman, that is just pure inspiration for their personal builds in this area. There are nods to Movie and TV series throughout the exhibit, and the level of detail on these builds is amazing! There are also iconic famous European and USA landmarks and a large scale ride. But I think the ultimate build is at the end of the exhibit, it towers above you and blasts off with light and sounds regularly.
BRICKMan 7.jpg
I personally went back through the display several times, because you don’t feel rushed at all, and I really wanted to take in the scale of all of these amazing builds by Ryan McNaught. As you leave Brickman Awesome there is a LEGO® store filled with every LEGO® set that you could dream of purchasing after being inspired by the models inside, as well as bulk tubs of bricks for the creative builder. The store also has everything from souvenir T-shirt’s and caps, right through to torch key rings.
BRICKMAN 8.jpg
Don’t worry about trying to find the parking pay station, because you can conveniently pay with a your personal bankcard on the way out just before you leave though the boom gates in to Grey Street, Southbank.

Venue: Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre
Dates: 1-22 December 2018

Kidding Around Essentials: Protect-A-Bed Quilt Protector Review and Competition!

| Kidding Around Australia

Following on from our BED WETTING AND TOILET TRAINING – TRAVELLING TIPS FOR FAMILIES post, I thought I would share with you what we use at home to protect our beds and bedding and give you a chance to win a Protect-A-Bed Quilt Protector!

For the past year, we have been using Protect-A- Bed mattress protectors and quilt protectors.

logo.png

We were disgusted to learn that humans sweat up to 1L of body fluid per night and lose millions of skin flakes each night. After 5 years, half the weight of a mattress can be made up of our own body fluids, skin cells, mould and bacteria that seep into our bedding. Pass me a bucket!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

After using the mattress protectors, we then upped our protection with Staynew Smooth Quilt Protectors. We didn’t even know such a thing existed!

Staynew-Smth-Quilt-Prot-MP-Q

Quilt protectors assist in keeping your quilt stain free (think vomit, wee or worse), protected from dust mites, bacteria and allergens and is approved by the National Asthma Council’s Sensitive Choice Program.

Protect-A-Bed’s® Miracle Layer™ is soft and comfortable yet waterproof and breathable and has a unique Breathe-A-Vent® allowing the quilt to breathe.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The internal SecureClip™ System on the inside ensures the quilt remains in place, although the quilt cover did twist around the quilt protector when we took the the quilt off the bed and used it on the couch.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

COMPETITION TIME!

We are giving you a chance to win your own Staynew Smooth Quilt Protector (in your choice of size)!

To Enter:

FILL IN THE FOLLOWING ENTRY FORM AND ANSWER THE QUESTION “IN 25 WORDS OR LESS, WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT CLEAN SHEET DAY?”

Smash Other Realm 8.jpg

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Unicorns are very popular at the moment and Alegría is no different to every little girl who loves them! She loves the little 3D Unicorn eraser.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Who doesn’t love a slap band, that doubles as a ruler?!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
