The Digital Crayon Stylus for Tablets and Smartphones Review

I was really excited to have my 3 year old and 10 year old girls try this product. It's such a great idea - fun crayon-like experience to make any drawing and coloring on tablets enjoyable! Kids love products and toys that are colorful and make their experience fun and entertaining. The Digital Crayon Stylus is one that was created to do this; however, from my kids personal experience it didn't live up to our expectations.

The Digital Crayon Stylus arrived in fun colorful packaging. I chose the orange crayon-like stylus to try-out. There are other colors available, depending on your child's personal preference. I originally thought that the color of the Digital Crayon Stylus was going to be the color that appeared when you colored or drew on your tablet. It actually isn't. The crayon-like stylus is just that "a stylus". When coloring, you use the stylus to select the colors you would like to fill in the coloring page. This to me wasn't a negative because the concept appealed to my kids - a fun, colorful stylus to use when coloring or drawing on their tablet.

What was challenging for both of my kids was the size, shape and durability of the stylus's tip. The Digital Crayon Stylus's tip was made out of a rubber-like material that was soft to the touch and could easily be pushed in. And you bet that all four of my kids tested that out, which I then had to lay down a rule that NO ONE was allowed to touch the tip of the stylus. I hate having to make rules for something that is supposed to be such a fun kid experience.

The crayon-like stylus's tip was also thicker, making it more challenging for even my 10 year old daughter to stay in the lines when she colored. This became frustrating for her and not as much fun. My 3 year old didn't care. She had fun coloring and it didn't matter if she stayed in the lines. However, within 15 minutes of my 3 year old coloring, she brought the stylus to me. She had torn the rubber-like tip of the stylus, making it unusable.

Overall, my kids and I love the concept. However, the way it is designed today just isn't user-friendly for any child over 3 years old to easily color within the lines.

Hot Wheels RC Street Hawk Remote Control Flying Car Product Review

My kids LOVED this toy! As a mom, I'm always looking for toys that are not only fun and educational, but also durable. I was very excited to have the opportunity to test one of the hottest toys this holiday season - Hot Wheels RC Street Hawk Remote Controlled Flying Car as a BzzAgent! Well... actually I had my 10 year old boy  and girl twins and 11 year old son test it for me. 

Checkout their YouTube Video below testing the product! It's amazing!  

Like most kids that get a new "amazingly" fun toy, each begged to play with it over and over again. It was amazing how you could remotely control it driving on the ground and then the next minute send it flying into the air. It was a little more difficult to control it when it was in the air, but it still was a blast! All three gave it two thumbs up!

This toy is a great toy for any boy, and even a girl! The age on the box stated that the toy was for people 8 yrs old and older. I actually think this toy is more geared for 10 years and older. I don't think my boys would have been careful enough with this toy at the age of 8 years old and the would have broken it within a few minutes. 

This toy is made of a foam like material and thin plastic parts. It's delicate in many ways. My boys thought it was pretty tough because they crashed it a few times. I'm not sure how many crashes this street hawk will be able to take. My gut says not many more. My last recommendation is that you also shouldn't fly it when it is windy. It is too hard to control and it will crash!

Overall this toy will keep your kids entertained (both boy and girl). I highly recommend it for this holiday season!
