Get Creative with Constructive Playthings {Giveaway}

November 4, 2016August 1, 2011 by Bridgette

Is it really August? Where has the Summer gone? Looking back on the past two months, we have been insanely active! Two vacations, a few week long camps for girls, many family parties and several backyard barbeques have kept us quite busy. So, as the Summer winds down, I am looking for less physical and more creative activities for the kids.

As a Constructive Mom, I get the honor of trying out some of the toys with my girls. This month, I decided to try both the Smart Lab Fashion Studio and Illustory Make a Book Kit. I knew both toys would bring out the creative side of my girls, and best of all….we could play them together….in the air conditioning!

The Smart Lab Fashion Studio was perfect for my 6 year old fashionista! The 9″ light table, acetate paper, colored pencils and clothes to trace allowed her to create her very own designer fashion line. She had a blast creating formal outfits, swimwear and even some silly combinations. At just $19.99, this toy would make a great gift for one of her first grade friends.

Illustory Make a Book Kit was another creative outlet that even let my six year old practice her spelling and handwriting. As a beginning reader, we have been working with her over the summer to keep her skills sharp and this project was a great culmination. The kit comes with ten markers, heavy paper and detailed instructions on how your child can become an author and an illustrator of their very own book. It helps your child plan our the setting, characters and plot of their story. My daughter first created the cover of her book and decided to title it, “Silly.” The book she created was funny and she wrote the entire plot all by herself. In the next few days, we will mail the papers in the postage paid envelope and receive our professionally bound book in just 4 weeks. This would make a great holiday gift for a Grandparent to proudly display on their coffee table!

My daughter loved both toys from Constructive Playthings! My youngest (age 3) was a bit too young for the kits, but with the help of her older sister, was able to join in some of the fun.
