Kre-O Cityville Invasion Review

We were selected to sample and share the new Kre-O Cityville Invasion set through BzzAgent and Owen and I both were super excited.  I had seen the Kre-O sets before, but we had never tried them.

O couldn't wait to open it.  When he did, we noticed that a lot of the pieces were already separated together in little baggies.  O quickly found the instruction booklet and went to work putting it together.

He played with this for hours/days - he loves it.  Once you get it put together and add a few batteries - you now have a play set with moving pieces and sounds.  O loved that the shark "swam" all by himself.

This did take him a bit longer to put together than his other building sets and the pieces seemed to be a bit smaller, but overall I really like this set.  It helps spark imagination/creativity in more ways than one.

The box that these come in turns into a nice carrying case (if you don't open it like I do) so you know exactly what to do with all those pieces when it is time to clean up.

Kiddie Car Wash

As stated in my post yesterday we made a Kiddie Car wash using PVC pipe for our BOAT Bash this past weekend. 

When I first showed Troy the pictures on Pinterest he thought I was crazy....then after I explained to him that it was just PVC pipe I think he jumped on board - either that or it was when he got to Lowe's and realized that it really wasn't super uber expensive.

I used the directions from HERE, but changed it a bit.  They had a swivel door to say on and off, well I knew we didn't need it, nor would use it, so I adjusted that one cut, so I had two 5' pieces.  We also went on our own with where to drill the holes for the water.

Troy and Owen worked hard to measure all the cuts and make sure the cuts stayed on point.

Then it was time to put all the pieces together - it did recommend using PVC paste - but we did not, I wanted to be able to take it apart for storage.

 



Next, we had to decorate it of course!!  We just used pool noodles and dollar store sponges, I figured the decorations would not last long, so I did not want to put a lot of money into it.

Then, we had to test it of course.....

O was out with a friend, so we let B test it out....she loved it!

 

 

This is a project that the whole family worked on and I think that is why I love it so much!
