Thank you to MindWare for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me. 

I’ve always loved learning, I think almost everyone does as long as they’re learning something interesting. Kids have a passion for learning and discovering, kids also have a passion for playing. In fact most of a child’s play in the really early years, is learning. I do my best to encourage a love for learning with each toy purchased. My household has a pretty shared passion for science and the way things work. Each of us loves to experiment and learn about physics of movement, how and why things operate the way they do and don’t even get me started on chemical reactions! MindWare is a company that recognizes children’s play and children’s learning should always go hand in hand!

I received a Krazy Kingdom Marble Run Set for review. The Krazy Kingdom Marble set has 110 pieces, 20 glass marbles, and 23 stickers. This marble set was something my husband and I have wanted to get our kids for a while. We knew that we would enjoy playing with the Krazy Kingdom Marble set just as much as our kids and what better way to encourage one on one play time? My son who is 4 really enjoys building things but has yet to have the chance to build something that functions. My husband and I knew the value in physics this toy contained before ever even playing with it. My son learns the basics of problem solving, physics and creative play all from one toy!

My 4 year old son can piece together all of the pieces with ease and understand completely the objectives he can create with the set. My 18 month old daughter can also easily piece together and build portions as well. This set has everything from dragons, draw bridge dungeons and princesses! Creating new avenues and adventures for the marbles is always a thrill for both the kids and myself. We ask questions like, what could make the marble faster, what could we do to slow it down? Being engaging and enthusiastic during any activity has always proved a positive result for our little ones.

I’ve always been one to favor learning toys, but to have a one stop shop for all age ranges as well as all types of play, makes things so much easier. Christmas gift shopping is super simple as I can purchase something for each of the kids in my family and know that I’m helping provide an outlet for learning centered play! MindWare has toys that range from 2 years through 12+. MindWare’s categories feature, active play (think zip line kits), brainteasers, creative art kits, even STEM based robotics kits. When it comes to fostering a love for learning MindWare is there to support your child! Speaking of having your back, MindWare is giving away a Krazy Kingdom Marble Run Set to one of you readers!

I am a stay at home mother of two, who loves to create in every form, from cooking, to henna, to painting or sculpting, creating with my hands is my passion! I love to dance and let loose when the music flows right. Being outside is a special kind of therapy I think humans need more of as well as mindfulness! I love all things new and adventurous and am always looking to experience more of life 🙂
