Marvin's Magic Glow Art Neon Effect Drawing Board Review

Welcome to another Save Dollarz review.  This time we review Marvin's Magic Glow Art Neon Effect Drawing Board.  The product claims to create amazing glowing pictures that transform and change colors.  There are 36 built-in lighting effects to make your art come to life.  The board is clear so that kids can easily set it above a picture to trace which is futuristic and practical in design.

The box comes with 1 Marvin's Magic Glow Art Board and 4 highlighting pens.  One cool feature is that this product boasts that you can use any highlighter pens that you want to use - not just the 4 that comes in the box - so you may find that bit of information quite useful if you want to buy more separate highlighter pens for an extended color palette.

The process is simple.  Draw your desired pictures on the clear board with the highlighter pens of your choice.  Have a rag handy to wipe off any mistakes you make when drawing.  The real fun starts when you have finished your masterpiece.  This glow art board has a kick-out stand so that you can display this on a table like a picture frame.  Kick out the stand, push the "on" button and turn off the lights.  The glow art neon effect activates and your picasso lights up in neon fashion.  There are 36 built-in lighting effects as mentioned previously.

This product is 12.68 x 1.57 x 8.31 inches in dimensions.  It weighs 1.05 lbs and requires 3AA batteries that are not included.  Comes in pink and black models.  The manufacturer suggests 8+ years and up, but surely kids younger than that will appreciate this cool toy.

Hair Chalk Combs Review

Here at Save Dollarz we try our best to find very creative gifts at very affordable prices.  Never in my life have I seen or heard of Hair Chalk Combs before - but these are a real thing and girls love them for several reasons.

A set of hair chalk combs feature bright, vivid colors that will make your hair demand attention.  Enjoy these unique colors without risk because the chalk washes out easily with any ordinary shampoo.  The specially designed combs apply the chalk through hair for fresh new looks. 

I have seen a hair chalk comb set come in sets of 6, sets of 10, and sets of 13 so it is important to shop around to identify how many colors you want in the set.  If you get a set of 10, the amount of color combinations is an astounding 1,023 color combinations.

Some notes about this product.  Wetting the hair prior may help apply the chalk.  It is important to note when watching videos of this product - light colored hair works best.  If you have dark or black hair unfortunately you probably won't get the vivid effect that your blonde / light brown hair friends are going to experience - but that shouldn't stop you from trying!

Here is a YouTube video illustrating the process of applying the hair chalk ...

Roller Derby 2N1 Inline or Quad Skates Review

Welcome to the Save Dollarz Roller Derby 2N1 Inline or Quad Combo Skates Review.  My eight year old niece was begging me to buy her these for her Christmas gift last year.  These did not disappoint.  

My niece told me that it's easier to learn on the quad skates but then she prefers the inline skates once she got the hang of it.  That is perfect for this product because these roller derby skates are interchangeable from quad to inline.  The skate boot is easily adjustable for kids with growing feet.  A button is pushed near the bottom side of the skate boot to allow this skate to expand or contract.  These skates do not have laces.  Instead they have two clamp-down buckles.  The quad skates have a brake in the front.  The inline skates have a brake in the back.

The skates can switch by converting from quad to inline and vice versa via 2 hex bolts on the bottom of the skate boot.  Use two allen wrenches on each side simultaneously to loosen or tighten accordingly.  The housing to the skates feels like a sturdy product to me.  

There is a smaller model that is for kids size 12 13 1 and 2.  The bigger skate model adjusts from 3 4 5 and 6.  So it is important to keep that in mind.  These come in a variety of colors.  I have seen this 2-in-1 model in a black and pink combination and also a mint green and purple combination available at Walmart.  I have seen the boy's skates at Target in red and black.  The boy's model is called "caspian" so search for the word "caspian" if seeking a deal for these online for the boy's model.

Wham-o Hamper Hoops Review

Who's looking for a win for both parents and kids? Some genius out there invented a basketball hoop that doubles as a laundry hamper. Score some points when your kids dunk their dirty socks into their Wham-o Hamper Hoops. The design of the hoop is suitable for any door. It probably makes most sense to hang it from a bedroom door, but you be the judge. The laundry bag hangs below the net area. The laundry bag catches the clothes after a fun dunk of dirty shirts. After the laundry bag gets full, simply remove the laundry bag. Now Mom and Dad don't have to yell at everyone to clean up their dirty clothes. The Wham-o Hamper Hoops invites the dirty laundry directly into the laundry bag with fun basketball shots.

While this product is designed for kids, there is no hard and fast rule that says you can't buy this item for a college student for their dorm rooms. We all know dorm rooms can get quite messy. This is possibly one smart solution to that problem. The product also comes with a bonus ball - but we wouldn't focus on that item. This is all about collecting the laundry in a fun way that encourages kid participation.

Stomp Rocket Ultra Rocket Stunt Planes Review

Kids love to stomp on things and kids love toys that can fly. What better combination than Stomp Rocket Stunt Planes? Get out your stomping shoes to launch these foam stunt planes soaring through the air. This is a toy that does not require batteries. Bring back the excitement of the outside toy away from the television and the ipad. These air rocket launchers are perfect for active girls and boys that love playing in the yard. Just be sure not to launch these airplanes on the roof!

This package includes three Stunt Planes. They are called looper, glider and wildcat. A dynamic adjustable air rocket launch stand and an inviting launch stomp pad with an air hose are all you need to take to the skies. The looper plane attempts to perform giant loops. The glider plane is for long distance and height, with the capability to reach up to 100 feet. The Wildcat plane is designed to perform all kinds of crazy maneuvers and tricks. The foam design permits safe play, although the product does encourage use for ages 5 or older.

The adjustable launch stand allows for changing the trajectory. The wind will definitely effect how these planes fly, so keep that in mind if you live in a windy area. The stomp pad is larger than many would expect. Kids run up to the stomp pad and jump with all their body weight which forces air out of the stomp pad, through the tube and into the rocket. Air powered and kid powered fun!
