National Orangutan Day PlayMonster The Orangutan Project Save Orangutans

PlayMonster, Wisconsin based toymakers of fun games and toys like Yeti in My Spaghetti, My Fairy Garden, Meltdown, Orangutwang, and Automoblox, has teamed up with The Orangutan Project. PlayMonster is a company that is big on fun and big on the family; their toys are thoughtful and span a range of toys and games for children from birth to big kids! PlayMonster keeps families together with the power of play, and they also want to keep orangutan families together. 

The Orangutan Project spreads awareness, works on conservation, Orangutan rescue, and rehabilitation, provides educational services, as well as forest habitat protection—devoting and dedicating work to conserve the integrity of the beautiful and highly intelligent orangutans. So far, The Orangutan Projects has already funded over $10 million dollars to support conversation projects, protect over 330,000 hectares of forest, as well as care for 200 displaced orphans and infant orangutans. Donations made to The Orangutan Project allow the donor to sponsor an Orangutan through an “adoption” process for as little as $12 per month. You can also donate to preserve the livelihood of orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra. 

“Partnering with The Orangutan Project is a no-brainer for us,” said Lisa Wuennemann, Master Marketing Monster at PlayMonster. “By becoming a sponsor of The Orangutan Project, we’re dedicated to the success of this project and to the beginning of an important conversation, which will lead us to have more orangutans swinging through the trees.”

PlayMonster produces a fun family game, Orangutwang, where you place fruits on the trees, and the first person to make the Orangutan go twang wins (pop off of the tree). The Orangutans need to keep swinging in their own habitats, and The Orangutan Project and companies like PlayMonster help make awareness possible. To support National Orangutang Day, PlayMonster would also like to share their fun game with our followers. Head over to our Instagram to learn how to win the game that helps support awareness and the preservation of these beautiful mammals.

My son Marcello is a little artist, and I feel the smART Sketcher helped him so much with adding color and layering his art pieces. Now, working with the smART Pixelator, I see another way he can create. He started to make miniature toys for his toys! Marcello is six years old and once I set up the smART Pixelator for hi he went right to work. The first day testing the smART Pixelator he worked on his pixel art from 9 AM to 6 PM only breaking for lunch.

Flycatcher is all about creating products that kids (and adults, too) that will facilitate the need to create and do so with effortless results. We reviewed them a while back, check out our video here. The smART Pixelator is different as it has the option to create 2D and 3D designs. You arrange the beads according to the pre-loaded designs from the Pixelator’s SD cards and SD expansion packs. Once arranged, iron the design with the protective sheet, and in minutes you have a cool pixelated version of virtually anything! I say anything because like the smART Sketcher there is Bluetooth capability. Connect your device to mirror any image and pixelate it! Order it now and get a headstart on the holiday rush as I think this would be an excellent gift for anyone who loves to create!

Don't Let Your Summer Blow By Without Gazillion Bubbles by Funrise - Ultimate in Bubbles!

Gazillion Bubbles are a staple at all of my kids’ birthday parties! We just recently used Bubble Rush at our Disney #NowMoreThanEver Playdate where the Bubble Rusher blower was a constantly bombarded by children during our Partysaurus Rex portion of the party. The kids love them, and it keeps them occupied, especially my toddler. In case you didn't already know, toddlers love bubbles! My son likes to eat bubbles and then bow to them like the Bubble Rush was the beacon of the bubble for all of the land. For $19.99, I believe it. Ten minutes of thoughtless staring at a tree while my son plays with bubbles is enough for me to hand over my entire wallet, which has about $23 in it, so I've got enough for the Bubble Rush at least. 


With Gazillion Bubbles Bubble Rush, you have a mini babysitter at your next party. Whip out this awesome blower for outdoor summer fun like I did, and we had a blast! It has three sections and a no-spill modular design, as well as, removable washable top. It also comes with an 8 oz bottle of bubbles, which really goes a long way! You will need 6 AA batteries, which are not included. Once you turn it on, it blows so many bubbles; bubbles really do add something magical to outdoor play. Plus toddlers popping bubbles help them strengthen their fine motor skills. 




I love the Gazillion Bubblecycle - it's totally kid-powered! It’s a new take on a bubble mower, and when put together properly, the Bubble Cycle rules the backyard! Bubble Cycle over the grass, sidewalk, or driveway. With each movement, bubbles fly out of the big wheel. Make sure the exhaust is facing to the back. I have no idea how I put it on backward at first, but the kids did not notice and were using it either way. With the power of a toy motorcycle, kids will look so cool with their new Bubblecycle! No more pretending to mow the lawn, now they can pretend to push the ultimate bubble hog! For only $19.99 (cheaper than most bubble mowers!), you also get an 8 oz bottle of bubbles. The absolute best part in all of this is that there are no batteries required to enjoy this! Kids will really have to power their cycle in order to see those beautiful bubbles fly! The Bubble Cycle is a staple summer toy that will last through many, many kids as the design is very sturdy and the fact that you just have to maintain it by keeping it clean really will lengthen its playtime. 




Thank you so much Funrise for sending us Bubble Rush and Bubble Cycle for our review!
