An Item Which WON’T Be Going In Our Homeschool Catalog
Tuesday was babysitting day. We had the joy of caring for a 2 ½ year old and 9 month old for about 6 hours, and what better way to spend that time than trying out all the baby and toddler products we have. Of course we had a blast! Some of the products were keepers (watch for our new baby line), but when we tried out a new art kit we knew we had just freed up some more catalog space.
The art kit we tried sounded great, with small foam type pieces to shape and mold, creating sculptures, picture frames, etc. But our experience with this product resulted in multitudes of minuscule foam pieces adhered firmly all over toddler clothing. Needless to say after 15 minutes of scraping pieces from pants, shirt and socks, we were less then captivated and now had a ¼ of a page in our catalog to fill with something else.
You never know what to expect when product testing!

Thank you. I appreciate it when items in a catalog are actually field tested.
That is why all homeschoolers should only buy from reputable homeschool family owned businesses. There are plenty of catalogs out there that have not tested the products, don’t know what homeschoolers want and need, and don’t have any vested interest in homeschool success. Some big Christian school companies are actually so negative towards homeschooling that they will not let their own employees homeschool. Thanks Timberdoodle for being one of the few places I have been willing to spend my limited school budget over the years.
Thank you so much! I am pretty sure I know what you are talking about. We had something similar that we were using with the 2 and 3 year olds when a friend and I were working in the nursery. The kids had fun but what a mess…and it was all over the place. Moms don’t appreciate fun products that take 5x longer to clean up than to use.
