Creativity for YOUR Kids!

Creativity for Kids is an American toy company, specializing in the wonderful world of arts and crafts. From the Ribbon and Felt Tote Bag , to Wind up Workshop Robots, to the Designed by You Fashion Studio, Creativity for Kids creates kits for kids of all ages and fields of interest. Creativity for Kids is exactly what its name describes: it provides a time and place for children to creatively produce the activity at hand. The craft kits that they produce are all open-ended activities, meaning that although you receive the pieces to make a Mini Tea Set, Crafty Critters, a Wee Enchanted Garden, or any other kit by Creativity for Kids, its design and overall look are entirely up to you! There are no patterns to follow; the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can make. And did we mention that everything you need is included in the kit?

Another big plus when it comes to Creativity for Kids is that they make a lot of craft kits that are more neutral, and less pink and girly. This being said, we sell a lot of kits for boys as well! Some examples of such kits include the Make Your Own Pirate Ship kit, Money Monster Banks and the Paint and Decorate Robot!

Creativity for Kids also makes a nice collection of mini craft kits, retailing at $5.99, which are perfect for lootbags for your child’s next birthday party! You can’t go wrong with Rock-a-Doodle, Opti-Art Rings or Make Your Own Shrinky Dinks to thank your little guests for coming to your child’s party!

Right now we also have an awesome promotional deal! When you buy for $50 or more (before taxes and shipping fees) in products by this lovely company,  receive an “I Love Horses” jewelry kit ($20 value) for FREE!  So take advantage of this great opportunity before it’s too late!

Whether it’s for a child’s birthday or a rainy Sunday afternoon, Creativity for Kids is always a popular among parents and children!

The ALL NEW Playmobil Fire Rescue Set is IN!

A new product showed up at our doorstep today: the NEW Playmobil Fire Rescue Set ! This set has by far been the most anticipated set of the year.  The collection includes seven new items: the Fire Station (4819), the Fire Fighter Truck and Ladder (4820), the Fire Engine (4821), the Fire Chief and Car (4822), the Fire Fighting Boat (4823), the Fire Fighting Helicopter (4824), and last but not least, Firefighters with Water Pump (4825).

There are tons of cool features when it comes to this collection. For one, the Fire Fighter Truck and Ladder (4820) and the Fire Engine (4821) are both compatible with the Playmobil Remote Control (4320). Both engines are also equipped with flashing lights! Just add 2 AAA batteries (not included) to see them flicker!

The fun features don’t stop there! Firefighters with Water Pump (4825), Fire Fighting Helicopter (4824) and Fire Fighting Boat (4823) take make-believe play to a whole new level: they really squirt out water! As you might already know, all Playmobil boats float in the water. That being said, don’t be shy to bring your new Fire Fighting Boat into the bath with you! If you attach the Underwater Motor (7350), it will zoom around the bath or pool all on its own!

And what would a Fire Rescue set be without a Fire Station? Fire Station (4819) is full of useful fire fighting equipment, such as shovels, oxygen tanks, axes, fire extinguishers, and the like. To be as true to life as possible, as Playmobil always is, it even comes with a fireman pole that the little figures can actually slide down! Did I mention that the gates are wide enough to allow the new fire trucks to pass through? Now that we have a Fire Station, we need a chief too! And Playmobil does not disappoint with its new Fire Chief and Car (4822)!

With this new Playmobil collection, your child and his or her fire rescue team will quickly become the new heroes of the Playmobil town!
