Help Your Kids Eat with this Eating Set

constructionMaking a kid eat food might not be the easiest thing to do. Sometimes, kids just want to play with toys and almost not eat what is served in their plate. They also rather want to eat some Cheetos chips and chow down on it until they’re full. Parents and the like, here is something that might help you! The Construction Eating Set. The construction eating set is a set of cutlery that is designed for babies to help out parents or baby sitters to make their kid eat.

The concept is simple and has been tried and tested. Making a regular spoon be like a plane and “land” on the kids mouth. Maybe evolution has changed their attitude towards that making them not eat with that trick anymore. This construction eating set is colored bright yellow to attract your kid’s eyes like bugs on an insect zapper.

Each kit is composed of a spoon, fork and bulldozer. The spoon and fork are basically as what you use in your dining table perhaps but they are like encased in a construction site vehicle that also moves! The spoon and fork might be a little normal but the bulldozer cutlery is something new here. The bulldozer has movable wheels for scooping something on a plate as it moves. This allows the kid to like hit a mountain of viands and eat it to break it further.

It is indeed a fact that the addition of a toy on to the food utensils of the kids is common but these bright yellow and construction machinery designed set makes me want to be a child and eat again.

Calendar for the Busy You, O2 Joggler

What does a typical calendar can do aside from showing you the date? Is it where you draw the logo of a fast food chain reminding you that your friend will treat you there on payday? O2 revolutionized the traditional schedule reminder into a more flexible, entertaining, and useful way not just for teeny peeps but to mums and dads as well. This O2 digital calendar, named as the Joggler, has a home screen that looks like that of iPhone’s. Let your fingers operate the no-battery Joggler without the use of keyboard or stylus. If your mum loves to listen to her good old songs while cooking, it’s no problem because this digital calendar can play audio files. When you want to sit back for some quiet movie time, the Joggler can play MPEG-4, DIVx, FLV, and even H.264 video format. What’s more, O2 included practical features like shared calendar application that can be accessed through the internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. Joggler’s purpose is more of family activities tracking. Weather update and news come to you for free. And you can even send up to 50 text messages to any cellular phone in the UK. The Joggler can also receive messages when you need to inform Nanny about the children’s vitamins. Other highlights include traffic map, Sudoku, USB2 port, and memory storage of 1GB. While unused, it can display pictures in a slideshow with its 7-inch touch screen, way better than your simple photo frame on the corner table.

All in all, the Joggler seems to be tapping an untapped market. For the technophobes who don’t want to be left behind, or for simple household task tracking, O2 seems to have found a niche to cater to.

Paper Airplane Launcher for Christmas

Ofcourse, your children might be busy making their favorite paper planes and make fun of it. I know they really enjoy throwing it to the sky. But they may be stressed up of flying those paper planes. Now you may avoid their stress and enable them to play more in a day.

As we can remember we also make this silly thing when we were in grade school, with those boring classes and naughty recess time. Stressful to your arms, right?

Now this device will end those stress because it works with two spinning motors and plastic discs. The machine is comparable to a Matchbox car launcher that kids played mostly. It also had two spinning plastic discs that would clutch the car in order to launch it down at track at a very fast speed.

All you need to do is attach the paper plane among these fast-rotating disks, and it could fly and speed up to30 mph! It’s enough to really stay in the air. But be aware that your child must be guided with this.
