Tryazon Party: The #3Doodler Start #PowerpuffYourself Party


We had a great time trying out the #3DoodlerStart 3D pen from #3Doodler, thanks to #Tryazon. The pen is super easy and fun to use. My daughter loved imagining herself as a Powerpuff girl. How will you #PowerpuffYourself?!

The 3Doodler Start is a fun tool for kids to create their own 3D objects. I like the Powerpuff Activity Set because it provides a little inspiration/guidance for my kids while allowing them to still express their own creativity. The pen itself is pretty simple to use. It charges with a power cord, but is cordless when you're using it. It fits well in all hand sizes. There is an on/off switch and a single button for operating the extruder. The plastic comes out at a good rate, in my opinion - it's not too fast to control. The tip gets warm, but not too hot for kids. While it was on, I could touch the tip without any problem. My kids had fun with it, but had a little bit of trouble keeping the tip at a good distance from the plastic they'd already doodled. This led to less-than-smooth results, but the kids didn't mind. The plastic strands were used up quickly, so be prepared to use A LOT of plastic to make these Powerpuff Girls. The flat molds that come with it are easy to use and make doodling easier for me. The head mold was tricky - the plastic didn't stick to it well, so I found myself trying to hold the mold, the plastic, and the 3Doodler all at once. It got tricky. Overall, we had a fun time learning to use this. I would say this would be great for kids 7 to 10 years old.

SmartGames Smart Kids (and Adults!) Tryazon Party


Recently, I hosted a SmartGames Smart Kids (and Adults!) Tryazon party. We had a blast! We were able to test out 3 different games designed for younger kids: Little Red Riding HoodColor Code, and IQ Puzzler Pro. My 4 year-olds loved playing with the Red Riding Hood game, especially. Each game can be played individually, and each has more "expert" levels that are fun and engaging for older kids and even adults! I love that my kids can sit down and play on their own while actively using their brains. My favorite game, and the choice of the older kids at the party as well, was IQ Puzzler Pro. The levels of the game range from easy to quite challenging, and I love that it comes in a compact carrying case - it makes it a great little treasure for road trips or to keep the kids quiet during church. :)

Overall, I really enjoyed the games and sharing them with friends. My kids have already asked if we can get the games for some cousins and friends for Christmas gifts - I think it's a great idea!

Tryazon Party: The #3Doodler 3D Pen!


What a fun product!! We were able to try out the #3Doodler Create 3D pen at a #Tryazon party. The pen is simple to learn how to use. We loved using our imaginations and creating different objects - the possibilities are endless! My guests commented that they don't normally get a chance to sit down and create with their hands as that's typically more of a kids' arts & crafts type thing, so they were grateful for a chance to let their imaginations run wild! For the less creative types, we also looked up some stencils on the 3Doodler website and modified them for our creative desires. The boys had a fun time trying to create a structurally sound tower using as few strands of plastic as possible - and they laughed the whole time! It was a fun, relaxing, engaging evening for everyone. I highly recommend checking out the 3Doodler for any creative, fun-loving adult in your life.

ob tampons with Smiley360

I recently tried ob tampons for free with Smiley360. They are tampons with no applicator. There is less waste and they are more discreet! I found them easy to use and effective at protecting against leaks. They were comfortable and helped me feel confident. Check them out here: http://h5.sml360.com/-/2t86g

Tilt SpinTales Jungle Rug Tryazon Party


We had a fun party trying out the Tilt SpinTales Jungle Rug thanks to Tryazon! The rug itself is high quality. It seems durable - I imagine it will hold up to my kids' use for many years. The colors are bright and the images are fun and engaging for my children. The rug makes a great quality standalone product, but it comes with the added bonus of working with an interactive app! The app has 3 different stories that children can navigate through on their own. The app uses augmented reality with certain picture markers on the rug to make the rug "come alive" and include your children in the stories. App users can play mini games/activities within the stories as well. For example, one of the stories included a character doing yoga poses and the kids can select different poses and follow along. The app is decent quality - the graphics are okay but not spectacular. I sometimes had a hard time matching the markers on the rug to activate the augmented reality. The storylines didn't really seem cohesive to me, as an adult, but the kids liked them. The 2- and 3-year-olds could work the app and seemed engaged by it. We used an iphone and an ipad to test out the app; the children seemed to prefer the ipad because of the bigger screen.

There is also a Tilt SpinTales Enchanted Duvet set that looks fun to try out. I'm sure my kids would enjoy this as well! I received a free product to host my party and facilitate my review, but all opinions are my own.
