Product Reviews: Human Anatomy in a Squishy Toy
8:00:00 AM
As my daughter is getting older, I am constantly on a quest cleaning, organizing, and sorting through her perpetual toy area. I enjoy watching her explore, using her imagination and self-playing but it's not like we have exactly that much space that divides our living room from the dining room. It kinda of runs into one another with her toy area in between, so when she really spreads out or has a play-date with a couple of friends over, forget it! its like explosion of toys everywhere. With each year and the seasons coming and going, I give away the toys/games that she no longer plays with nor realizes they exist anymore and try to find more age appropriate (less messy items) learning, developmental, and fun toys that engage and keep her attention for more than a nanosecond. With that being said, one thing that she uses and "plays" with religiously are the play-doh egg surprise videos that are on YouTube. The word obsessed doesn't even begin to describe how my daughter is with these videos, for those of you parents who haven't introduced electronics into your toddler or preschooler's life or if you have, and just haven't had the misfortune of discovering play-doh eggs, trust you are lucky. They are these video "tutorials ( and I use that word lightly) where random "grown ass" adults open up chocolate eggs, and/or small chotchke containers, stating what the containments are inside on screen with the camera showing only their hands, and you would swear my daughter was watching a nail-biting episode of Game of Thrones or Scandal not to mention the million of followers some of these people have (I swear I am in the wrong business) for opening toy eggs???
Not to bash the next man's hustle, hey whatever works, however, one day while she was routinely watching her videos, I noticed this particular one where they were reviewing this cool new toy "squishy human body parts" by SmartLab toys. She wasn't the only into the video, this toy really drew me in as well. It's this toy model size clear human figure with a hole in the center of the body where the particular organs and skeletal structure of the human body would be kept. This is one video that not only I don't mind watching, but I was amazed at how my little one was so into it, paying attention, and trying to identify on her own body, where certain parts and organs go. Her discovery of this new toy couldn't have come at a better time as she was on the tail end of a wicked stomach infection and was wondering what was inside her that was making her so sick and her belly hurting so bad. With this new toy we got her, she can identify, learn body parts inside and out, and see where her particular organs and what not are located giving her a better idea of how things work within her system. Not to mention its just a cool toy and I love how the actual organs are squishy, mimicking what they would probably feel like in real life. I definitely recommend this toy for entertainment, learning, and occupying time purposes and this is one video that I don't mind seeing. I was able to look it up immediately and of course, you know where I found it.......Amazon. Here is the direct link where you can get it:
