Product Review - Toobeez - My Kids Playing


This weekend I received the most awesome children's product. It is called Toobeez and the reason I think it is the most awesome is because the possibilities are endless.

My kids were excited when they saw the box and couldn't wait to see what was inside.
<span class=
We opened it and there was another box. They were beyond excited because in their mind there was a box for each of them.
I finally opened to show them what the box held. Inside was the most colorful 57 pieces of plastic I had ever seen. The kids were so excited with loads of "wow's" and "what is it?"

Telling them it was a way for us to build something we could sit in like we do with the Little People, I got to business. While I built their first fort, they fought over the boxes. Finally I had my first fort constructed and they ran and got their mini couches to put inside. I made it wider by simply adding more attachments. It was so easy, just take one of the yellow multi-keyhole balls and insert a plastic tube into it until you feel it click. So easy, my 3 year old could do it.

We added the slide on curtains and they did a mini puppet show, then we threw some blankets over it, gave them their lanterns and played inside. There was room for their mini couches, me, some stuffed animals, 2 blankets and 2 kids. We changed the configuration easily about 5 times. Finally, they lied down to drink their milk while I read them a story.

Before the kids went to bed we had to talk them into pulling it down promising them we could put it together again tomorrow. We put all the pieces into a giant storage bag that was included with the set. Love the bag because it easily holds all of the pieces, zips up and has handles for easy transport.
<span class=
My son's wish for tomorrow is to make a boxing ring and Goddess wants to make a swing and cradle for her teddy bear while I want to make an obstacle course with hurdles for my son to do like he does in his Tao class.

  34. I've never seen anything like this before! I would give this set to my son but it's also very tempting to get the 2 for 1 deal they have on the site right now. I'd get the second set for the Pre-K class at the school I work at.

  35. As a former PE teacher and now a stay at home mom, I can see how this would be such a great item to have in my home. I have a super active toddler and another baby who I fear will be the same - this would be perfect for us!!
