Word FRENZY Card Game
Word FRENZY® is a fast-paced, word-forming card game that fosters spelling, vocabulary, word association and math skills. Played with letter cards, players try to be the first to collect cards that spell a four letter word relating to a category. The game can be played with 2 to 8 players, 10 years old and up. Multi-player game play is possible by simply adding additional card game decks together. For 9 to 16 players, combine 2 card game decks and follow the official Word FRENZY rules as usual.
From Our Editor:
Where do I start with this one?
Probably one of my all time favorite games!
Our gang loves to play games. And when we brought Word Frenzy to the table,
I wondered how much fun a simple word card game could be...
BUT WAS I IN FOR A SURPRISE!!!
We had seven players around the table, and this game turned into an all out war (in a fun way). Players were getting downright ruthless in their quest to get a prize.
Simple enough that even those who were not good spellers enjoyed the game
tremendously ... and challenging enough every game player will be ready to take it on.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WORD FRENZY!!!

Triviathon

The suggested player age ranges anywhere from 8-128. The estimated playing time averages 40-60 minutes. Triviathon, a trivia board game, will have players singing, dancing, arm wrestling, cheering, cheating, and more as they compete in a game that puts each player's cognitive, physical, and social skills to the test, while they try to win a race moving at speeds of 0, 1, 2, or 3 spaces based on trivia questions. They don't even have to know the answers! Plus, it's educational - you learn fun and interesting facts along the way.
From Our Editor:
Okay, I want to meet the makers of this game!
From the very get go, reading the instructions, you can tell you are in for
a rare and hilarious treat! If you have timid people at the game table,
don't warn them .. because they may run! Wait and see how much fun you
can have when a bunch of friends gather for what they think is a typical
trivia game and what they end up with is so much more! A game where even
cheating is allowed ... well, sort of! You will have to play and see!
This one is over the top crazy but you will enjoy it.

Don't let "Junior Edition" fool you! The entire family will have a blast
engaging one another in this game where there is no real right or wrong, there are
only opinions ... We all have them! Try this one the next time you want to put away the old standbys and try something new. I know you will enjoy this one as much as we did! It can get downright hilarious!

Young Minds - Numbers And Counting
MathTutorDVD.com has created the Young Minds series of DVDs to introduce young children to the joys of learning Math at a young age. This DVD in Numbers and Counting teaches young children to count from 1 to 10 by way of engaging classical music, photographs, and video.
Each number is presented with photographs, video, and animation. Numbers are animated to fly-in from off screen and show the child how to count by counting objects that they are naturally interested in. Animals such as frogs, horses, jellyfish, sharks, whales, and more are shown to the viewer along with the animal sounds. Colors are also taught by pointing out the color of objects on screen.
From Our Editor:
An excellent resource for every young student, whether they go to public school,
private school or they homeschool. This is a powerful tool that will enable and encourage every student to do their very best and show them how to achieve that goal
by accurately processing the skill sets needed to be an achiever.

Cinch
The Cinch is a post pregnancy tummy wrap that is unique in its revolutionary patent pending design. It has been called the miraculous and fabulous Cinch because it is the only tummy wrap that truly tightens and compresses your waistline comfortably without itching. You can wear all day long. It hugs your waistline 360 degrees and it contours with your body shape. It even has an internal measuring device that track your tummy as it slims down. Basically, the Cinch wrap stays put when you wear it with its front and back panels and extra support with its side wings straps. Moms also love Cinch because it has an internal pocket for cold/warm pack in case they need a little cooling. It is revolutionary because it is the only wrap in the market that is adjustable and can bring you back to your pre-baby tummy with just one wrap! Mother approved and tested.
From Our Editor:
We love having those precious little babies, but we don't like what lingers after ...
on us. Cinch is great for those tween months, when you have had the baby, but your body has not yet read the memo to go back to its former self *and size*.
Easy to use, flattering, and beautifully detailed and packaged.
This makes a great gift for yourself or your best friend.
No one will ever know your secret.

SandSac
The SandSac is an eco-friendly, foldable travel beach pail. It is made from 100% cotton waterproofed canvas, is packaged with a renewable resource bamboo shovel and 4 fabric markers in assorted colors. It is the one alternative to the traditional plastic shovel and pail. The SandSac is customizable using fabric markers, paints, or applied accessories. It is machine washable and can be folded and stored until its next use. The SandSac comes in three sizes and is sold individually or as a set of two. The SandSac can also be imprinted with a corporate logo, or other camera ready art to further customize it for events, parties and other uses!
From Our Editor:
There are a couple of things I really like about the SandSac.
The first thing is its portability. So much easier to travel with,
than lugging along a big bulky bucket. The second thing I like about
it is the fact it is machine washable. Put the SandSac to the test and
it will hold up. Summer after summer, your child will have an excellent
portable bucket that can be used just like a hard plastic bucket, yet
it will hold up better, longer, and can be tucked away in the smallest
of spots until it is time to come out for play again.
