Andrew’s First Day of School 2016

Andrew - First Day of School
Photo-A-Day #4165

Today was Andrew’s first day of school. He started his year of half day classes all week long. This gives me time to hit the gym all week long. The real test, however will be next Monday when I end up coming home from work and going right to drop Andrew off at school. I’m going to figure out how I’ll get sleep on Mondays. It will be interesting.

Andrew’s first day was a great one. He had a good time and made some new friends, he can’t remember the names of any of the kids except for a couple. That is to be expected from a four-year-old. He’s too busy being a kid to notice exactly who he’s playing with. Soon enough he’ll be asking me to go on playdates with some of the other kids in his class. He does like getting together and having fun with the other kids. Here is our conversation on the way to and from school today.

Review: The IDO3D Vertical 3D Drawing Pens

IDO3D VerticalWe review the IDO3D Vertical 3D Drawing Pens. We received this from RedwoodVentures for free in order to play with and provide an honest review. Opinions are 100% my own.

The IDO3D Vertical was a fun experiment with the kids. They had a nice time creating all sorts of things. Eva filled up the plastic mold for a face of a character instead of using the outside. She wanted to make a cauldron because she has been reading Harry Potter and so that was a big influence on her creations. She also made a wand. Andrew was way more freeform in his creating. He went vertical and created some fun things.

I think that the IDO3D Vertical would be great for an older kid. Eva is at the right age to start using this but Andrew needs a few more years to really get the hand of it. It is a nice product for kids to get crazy creative. It does take some finesse and practice but it was still fun for the kids.

Here is the official description of the IDO3D Vertical and then our video review: IDO3D Vertical enables children to draw and sculpt in mid-air using cool 3D ink that turns from liquid to solid instantly! Kids can use the familiar form factor of a pen to draw numerous designs, either from their own imagination or from the 3D Guidebooks that are included with each set. IDO3D Vertical includes a variety of colors, themes and activity packs.
