PlaSmart Toys!

PlaSmart's is a company that focuses on toys that develop motor and dexterity skills, balance, creative and imaginative play, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills and, of course, entertainment.  PlaSmart is proud to work with toy inventors and designers who share its vision.
Magic Canvas is a writing pad, where you use water and a stylus pen to create a rainbow of color masterpiece! With no mess or clean-up, what more do you want in an art activity for your child? The age range is 12 months and up, which is great for my two kids to play with. I know my daughter loved using it. She was overjoyed to open it right away. It is easy to use, all you need is water and to follow the simple directions, and you’re good to go. Plain and simple. Did I mention the price is also reasonable? Buy it at major stores and online for $19.99. 
Pl-ug is a kit that helps make children’s dreams come true. How so, do you ask? Well, for starters it is a “Build Your Own Fort” kit. That’s right. The kit comes with clamps, hooks, suckers, grips, and a two-sided sign. All the tools (except for blankets of course) you need to help your child explore and expand their imagination! This kit is very easy to use. All you need to do is use the tools in the kit for objects around your house that can attach to them. Then use the tools to attach with the light weighted blankets. Presto! You’ve made a fun fort! My son and daughter can not stop building little forts all over the house. It keeps them busy and mommy happy! Buy it at major stores and online for $19.99. 
Catch and Learn is a game that is up to you on how it is played. It comes with a magnetic fish catcher, 10 dry-erase fish cards, dry erase marker and directions. The basic understanding of the game is that you use the fish catcher to grab whatever learning focus you want your child to take part in. For instance, if you wanted your child to practice their spelling skills; you could have them pick up the cards using the fish catcher, in order of how the word is spelled. Or if you wanted to focus on math you could give them an equation and your child would have to find the right answer on the fish cards. My 4 year old has been practicing spelling her name and simple words like “dad” and “mom.” She loves it! There is a variety of learning opportunities you could do! Buy it at major store and online for $14.99. 
Messmatz is all parents need to keep messy play at bay! How so? This rubber mat has space large enough for a child to create artwork, explore science and so much more, while still keeping your surfaces at home dry and clean! It is very easy to wipe and rinse clean. With the lifted up sides, it helps with messy objects from spilling. It is easy to store, just roll up and you’re good to go! Did I mention that it’s non-toxic and firm enough to write on? That’s right! What more could you want in something like this. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Buy it at major store and online for $29.99.
