My new job....

So on November 1st I started my new job, you would never know but I am one of Santa's top toy researchers. I work at this job around the clock and put in a lot of hours. Some would call this a job, but maybe it is turning into an obsession. You see I walk through all the stores and look at all the toys on the shelves, and I never know which ones to buy, so I take my questions to the Internet.(isn't the Internet great!!) I always want to buy the best and the funnest toys, so I scour the stores and then I come home and read as many reviews as I can find. I just thought that I would share some of the info I have found, since Santa isn't paying me very well this year. (I'm sure he won't mind if I share!!)

Pixo's




I don't know about your kids but mine are begging for these. For those of us that have a good memory we will remember last year there was a product that looked just like this called AquaDots. (they were recalled just before Christmas because they were poisonous if swallowed) Yes, Pixo's are a glorified AquaDots, the manufactures
claim they are safe now. But the reviews say they surely don't work very well. They seem to be safe now, but maybe just a bundle of frustration. I'm not quite sure what to do because my kids sure think they look fun. If you want more info I found the best reviews on Amazon.com, they have both good and bad reviews.


Crayola Glow Station


To tell the truth I am a little confused about this thing but it sure looks cool. since it is a new product I can't find any user reviews but it has won some awards. From what I understand The Crayola Glow Station, an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award winner, lets kids create with the magic of light on a glow-in-the-dark canvas. After you draw on this with the special "light pen" it slowly fades away,(kinda like aquadoodle)letting you make new creations. I don't know if there are any crayola products that I don't like, so it looks like they may have scored again.
