The Color's of Creativity

Over the last couple of weeks The Junior Journalists have been exploring our creativity with Crayola Sidewalk Chalk and Color Wonder products. Crayola was nice enough to send us Color Blenders Chalk ($4.99) that easily washes away with a garden hose. The colors blended together smoothly as opposed to the other leading chalk brands. You are able to use this chalk on the sidewalk or driveway. This is for children ages 4 and up. You will like this toy because they come in cool shapes, the colors are bright and they wash away easily- your mom and dad will like that part!

Mega Cool Microscope

I've been reviewing The Discovery Kids Macro Microscope. It's a microscope with a 10x, 30x, and 40x zoom, and two light settings which allow to you see microscopic organisms the human eye can't normally see. I like the fact that you have 3 lenses to choose from and zoom in on your subject, depending on it's size.

This microscope comes with cells and organisms to look at as well as brine shrimp eggs that you can grow and observe from the time they hatch. It also includes materials to make your own slides out of household items. I made a slide out of a tomato and got to see it's cells up close. Pretty cool!

If you're into science like I am, you will love this microscope. It is available at The Discovery Store ($79.95). Or enter to win here!

Passion for Fashion

I got to check out the Discovery Fashion Design Studio from The Discovery Store ($34.95). It is a cool fashion design kit with fabrics and sewing tools to make beautiful doll-sized dresses. It shows you how to design from scratch, starting with step-by-step instructions for drawing sketches.

This was the first time I had ever sewn so it was hard at first but I got the hang of it without much help (my mom showed me how to measure the fabric). I had a lot of fun and can't wait to get more fabric!
