Smarties, this is an AWESOME spinning tool that can make twisted accessories. The LoopDeDoo is the REAL DEAL, nothing low end here and it comes with 18 different skeins of embroidery thread. Honestly, my girls have been given bracelet making gifts in the past, but none of those compare to the LoopDeDoo, not even close. All you need to do is wrap your threads, turn the knob, guide the thread and viola, you have your unique accessory because there are no patterns to follow!
The LoopDeDoo does come with an instruction book that is super easy to follow, especially for someone like me that cannot follow a written direction if it has more than five steps. This instruction book has color pictures for each of the 6 looping styles. Easy Peasy! I am sure that this will provide many hours to unhook from the TV, itouch, PC, etc. and I love when I can find something to spark creativity that does not involve an electronic screen.
I fell instantly in love with the Loog Guitar the first minute I laid eyes on it. This spring the Smarty team went to the NYC Toy Fair and this was hands down, my favorite pick of the show. All of my kids have shown interest in learning how to play the guitar – maybe this is a little inspired by their obsession with Taylor Swift and my best mom moment ever that we should just relive for a sec:-) Team Plym is chomping at the bit to learn how to play the guitar and the Loog is the perfect segway, because it’s specifically designed for children, with their needs, comfort and safety in mind.
The Loog Guitar is not just any guitar. The Loog Guitar, with its 3 strings, makes it easier for kids to tune, play and listen to the notes they are playing. It is a more stimulating experience that allows children to play music right from the start. And because The Loog Guitar comes with nylon strings, not only it is easy for kids to play, it is also easy on their hands.
This summer we introduced you to the Boogie Board LCD Tablet. They have flown off the toy store shelves ever since!
Today we bring you two amazing updates to the Boogie Board, the Boogie Board JOT 8.5 LCD eWriter and the Boogie Board Rip LCD eWriter, thanks to our Smarty friends at Improv Electronics! These eWriters are for all ages – preschool all the way up to Mom & Dad!
The Boogie Board Jot LCD eWriter is the latest tree-friendly electronic replacement for memo pads, notebooks and sticky notes. Like other Boogie Board eWriters, the Boogie Board Jot LCD eWriter features a revolutionary Reflex® LCD as its writing surface that provides a writing experience that feels just like pen and paper. A cool new accessory to this is the Stylus Holder/Magnet Kit so you can mount your Boogie Board to your fridge – brillz! This is perfect for leaving notes for your babysitter, call memos, grocery shopping list, you name it! The Jot retails for $39.99.

Here is a product that is sure to make your 7-10 year old son or daughter super happy this holiday season – a Zike Fly By. My wife discovered Zike at the 2012 International Toy Fair in NYC this spring. Zike brilliantly combines the best of a scooter and the best of a bike all in one fell swoop. One lucky winner will get the Zike Fly By, your choice of six color options: dark gray, lime green, teal, pink, red and purple delivered to their front door this holiday season. The Zike is not currently sold in retail stores but can be purchased on-line from the company HQ just down the road in Greenville, SC. The recommended age for the Fly By is 7-10 and has a retail value of $249.99.
