I love toys and have been a huge fan of educational and fun crafting sets since I was a little kid. My grandmother would spend every summer crafting with me, playing with me and more. Because of that wonderful experience with my grandmother growing up, I wanted to do the same for my kids and gift them with the love of crafting and playing with fun educational toys as it is something that they can always enjoy for themselves and with their own kids one day. That is why I was so excited to share some of my favorite brands that are guaranteed to be a hit with kids of all ages. I am a huge fan of Thames & Kosmos, Alex Brands, Magformers and Wild Republic as they have amazing toys and crafting sets that are perfect for keeping the kiddos entertained all while learning and playing plus they are quality products that they can enjoy for years to come. Check out some of my favorites below & of course they are perfectly themed for summer! Who doesn’t love Sharks & Dinos?

WEBSITE ~ FACEBOOK ~ TWITTER ~ YOU TUBE
The Thames & Kosmos: I Dig It! Dinos ~ Glow-In-The-Dark T.Rex Excavation Kit is one of my favorites from this line up. This is the type of educational kit that I would have loved as a kid. With this super fun set your kid will play the role of a paleontologist and excavate a replica of a dinosaur fossil relief all by themselves. They will have to use the hammer and chisel to go on a hunt for a Tyrannosaurus rex, the dangerous prehistoric giant that we all know and love. They can excavate the skeleton relief from the surrounding soft plaster block and the kit contains everything they will need to get the job done perfectly. The kit includes the skeleton relief buried in a plaster block, the excavation tools, and a descriptive, easy to follow manual. This set is perfect for ages 7 & Up.

The Wild Republic 15″ Great White Shark Stuffed Plush is a great white shark stuffed animal that is part of Wild Republic’s exclusive line of Cuddlekins. Cuddlekins are ultra-plush wildlife toys and they are specially designed to look like real the thing while still being incredibly soft and irresistibly squeezable. Every Cuddlekins plush is made with love. This Great White Shark is a fabulous 15″ long and is so super soft and cuddly that it had to be on my list of must have’s for Shark lovers.
Wild Republic: Huggers T-Rex Stuffed Animal – 8″ [$7.99]
I am loving the Wild Republic 8″ Huggers T-Rex Stuffed Animal! Who knew that a T-Rex could be this cute? Simply spread his arms wide open and give his chest a squeeze……then SNAP and his arms instantly wrap around and give you a hug. This soft and fuzzy snow leopard plush toy hugs onto your wrist, backpack, stroller and so much more. Huggers are soft stuffed animals and versatile slap bracelets that you can wrap around your wrist and other objects that fit their grasp and the T-Rex version was a perfect for Dinosaur lovers! Keep in mind that these stuffed animal plushies aren’t just toys for kids, they are for adults too, after all everyone can use a hug. This is the perfect gift for anyone and it is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
