Review: Sandzini Pony

Sandzini Pony

We received a Sandzini Creator kit: Pony from Ohio Art to try out and review. Sandzini is a modeling compound that can be sculpted into many different shapes. If you are creative and crafty you can probably make some very cook stuff. I am no sculptor and can barely roll out shapes with things like clay and dough. I found Sandzini pretty easy to use.

The Pony Creator set comes with a pink pony with a removable mane. It also comes with pink (7oz), blue (2oz) and purple (1oz) Sandzini. With that amount of compound you can easily cover the entire pony. The pony will be predominantly pink and you can add accents with the blue and the purple. I think that if I had planned this out better I would have made parts of the pony in stages and also used a rolling pin to flatten out the Sandzini so that it covered thinner. Eva saw Pegasus wings as an example in the instructions and wanted to do that. If I had opened it and planned ahead then I’d have made some wings, let them dry and then attach them when we made the pony. But, that was rather ambitious and I just didn’t think to do that.

My Desk has a Lot of Red


Photo-A-Day #2815

Today’s theme for the YesVideo December PhotoADay challenge was red. I’m sure that it was meant for something Santa or Christmas related but I looked around my desk and saw that I had a bunch of things that were red. So I made a collage of photos with Diptic. So, in case you don’t recognize everything let me run it down for you.

Top Row Left-Right: Captain America Squinkie, Coke Zero Can, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Raphael.

Middle Row Left-Right: Red M&M, Thundercats Symbol, Optimus Prime and Autobot Symbol.

Bottom Row Left-Right: Skylander Giant Tree Rex, Box of Cheez-Its, Mini Bottle of Tabasco.

So, three days before Christmas and all of the Skylanders that we own and have opened are fully upgraded and have completed every possible heroic challenge that has been unlocked. Next goal is to have each character complete the set of goals that each one has in giants. This game is certainly one that I’ve invested more time and money into than any other game I’ve ever played and yet I am still so happy and entertained to play it. Maybe eventually I’ll even finish the game itself to unlock Nightmare mode.
