Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Recommended age:  2 year-old ++   

Who would love this: Kids with BIG and UNLIMITED imaginations - there are just so many ways to play with these!  

Moluk is the creator of all things wacky, whimsical, and fun. They are addictively squashy, quirky in an adorable way, and full of character. Today, I would love to share about this “Building Genius Gift Box” - a clever package of Moluk toys, kindly gifted by Divisible by Zero (thank you!). 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Whimsical & Clever - Hix, Mox and Oibo are three playful buddies with inimitable unique personalities. They are awesome on their own, but unbeatable when come together as a team! This set includes 9-piece of Moluk silicone toys - three each of Hix, Mox and Oibo, in 3 different colours (blue, red, yellow). Mox is a ball with ginormous mouth that bites and swallows, a nimble body that rolls and can “fly” across the room like a superhero, two curious big eyes, and constantly surprises us with its many incredible acrobatic talents. Hix (oh Hix!) is a peculiar cone-shaped wizard with two silly eyes. It transforms into multi-shape and configurations with just a press or flip. It can be inverted inside out, folded down, pressed down, stacked on top or half-hidden within one another. And last come Oibo - a rollable, squeezable, squash-able, grip-able cube-like elastic friend - all geared-up for a party! 

(2) So Many Ways To Play! - Together, the team of three creates next-level wonders and endless possibilities! Mox loves hiding within Oibo and balancing itself on the tip of Hix; Hix loves pretending to be a “party hat”, whilst Mox enjoys transforming itself into a funny big nose. They make crazy towers, they find creative ways to hide, they do crazy poses, they tumble down hilariously, and they have the most amazing combined expressions (peeping eyes 👀 , cheeky grin). 

(3) Grow With The Kids - These are awesome tactile, sensory and bath toys that can grow with the kids! They are light weight, easy to be stored away, and travel around with the family. Younger kids can grasp and bounce them around; older kids can sort them by colours and shapes, or stack them up like building blocks. 

(4) Good Material - These cute little guys are made from good grade silicone and are BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free. They are durable, dishwasher safe, loved by all ages!

Ocean Stacking Cups, By Jellystone Designs - REVIEW

Nature/ Type:          Open ended, multi-purpose silicone toy for kids! 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  9 month-old ++   

Who would love this: Kids with imaginations - the possibilities are almost endless! 

Some toys require careful setting-up and meticulous study of rules, but some, need no explanation and have limitless play possibilities. This “Ocean Stacking Cups” by Jellystone Designs belongs to the latter: open-ended, multi-purpose, squeezable and oh-so-much-fun! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) 5 Stacking Cups + 5 Treasure Coins - The set includes 5 stacking cups and 5 treasure coins. Simple, unassuming, but so versatile and full of surprises! Place the items before the kids, sit back, relax, and watch them inspire you with their boundless play ideas. The girl loves to include these bowl-like pieces in her pretend kitchen, serving up matching treasure coin “donuts” with them. She also loves building sculpture by stacking the cups high in the order of descending size. These cups also make amazing bath toy with cut-out holes that create interesting water drizzling-down effect. We also love building dome-shaped sandcastles using them, and stamping marine images on our sensory playdough. You can also sort them, match them, nest them, hide objects under them (and play “guess what’s under”), or simply use them as containers. The possibilities are almost endless! 

(2) Marine Animals - I love the beautiful ocean-inspired design. Each of the cup features different marine animal; 3 graceful whales on the largest cup, follows by 3 teeth-showing sharks, 3 turtles, 3 happy-looking octopuses, and 3 crabs (two half-hidden in shells). Each has mini-cutouts patterns at the top for added textural feel. The 5 treasure rings have imprints with different number of fishes; our white ring (that matches the largest cup) has 5 fishes on it, and our mint-colour ring (that matches the smallest cup) has only 1 fish on it. We love the sea creatures theme! 

(3) Colour Range Options - The stacking cups come in several colour range options; ours is the “Ocean” range - quiet and calming in white, cloudy grey, darker shark grey, navy blue and sweet turquoise / mint. If you prefer something bold and sharp, the “Rainbow Bright” range is for you! 

(4) Silicone Material - Jellystone Designs uses FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approved silicone, and its products are in compliance with Australian standard for toy safety.

Glo Pals Light-Up Cubes, by Glo Pals - REVIEW

Nature/ Type:          Cubes that light-up in water!  

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  3 year-old ++   

Who would love this: This is a perfect bath and sensory toy that would sure to capture kids' attention. 

I was intrigued from the very first time when I saw Glo Pals in social media. So when Jellystone Designs sent us these Glo Pals Light-Up Cubes (in festive Red and Green) and Red Sammy, we were THRILLED! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Light-Up In Water Technology - I have never seen anything that glows in the water with such enchantment before. Glo Pals were inspired by a child with autism whose mother used the technology behind Glo Pals to help him overcome his fear of water. The result is these multi-coloured, liquid-activated cubes that light up when they are immersed in water. Glo Pals has immense potential for versatile uses; it makes bath time easier, sensory play more exciting, and sprinkles magic in water play. It glows in bathtub, jars, Calm Down Bottle - and anything else that can contain liquid. The Light-Up Cubes are packed in a set of 4. 

(2) Colours & Characters - Glo Pals come in yellow, blue, purple, white, green and red. I love that each colour has a unique character to go with it, each with their fun-filled personalities (eg, Purple Lumi has a deep passion for art and craft, and Red Sammy loves outdoor and sports!) The characters have bendable arms, and they “glow” when we insert a cube at the back of the Pals. Each of the character set also comes with 2 cubes of matching colour. 

(3) Tested & Compliance With Safety Standards - Glo Pals website assures us that the technology has been extensively tested and meets applicable safety standards. The electronics are sealed and are not user accessible (in other words, the encased button batteries are not replaceable, but the pals/ plastics are recyclable). 

(4) 16 Lighted Hours - Each cube lasts a minimum of 16 lighted hours. The cube automatically turns on when placed in water, turns off when it is dry. Only the time that the product is lighted will count against the battery life. For our family, our cubes (apart from 1) are still working fine after 8 weeks of use in the bath. It is important to drain the cubes completely when they are not in use to extend the battery life. Personally, I wish to see an improved technology in near future so that the cubes can be more sustainable and have a longer life. Nevertheless, this is a great invention that sparks JOY!

Plui Rainball, Boi, Oogi Fant, Oogi Pilla, By MOLUK

Nature/ Type:          Innovative and Unique Bath Toys 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  3 year-old ++ 

Who would love this: Parents who are struggling to get their kids into bath EACH DAY! 

Parents of this universe, I’m with you! Seriously why is bath time getting so difficult these days? It’s a daily non-stop negotiating, persuading, wailing, begging, threatening, and coercing to drag the kids from toy room into bathroom. I’m not sure about you, but in this household, bath toys are absolute essentials. These MOLUK toys are so awesome I’m really excited to talk about them today! 

In the pictures, we have the green Plui Rainball, black-and-white Boi, baby blue Oogi Fant, and the bright orange Oogi Pilla. 

Why I love ❤️ these toys: 

(1) Special Bath Toys- they are unique, each of them, in their special ways. My personal favourite is the Plui Rainball: that huge downpour of shower coming out from the soft silicone tentacles is a sight to behold! The Boi floats and dances in water beautifully, the Oogi Fant turns everything into funny elephant, and the Oogi Pilla is that elastic and loads-of-fun caterpillar-lookalike that just simply love sticking to almost everything. These toys keep the kids entertained and have been a huge help to our recent daily routine. 

(2) Stick To Each Other- I love the suction cups, and how the Moluk toys are usually able to stick to one another. Apart from Boi which is a little too heavy to stay on any vertical surface for too long, the two Oogis have quite a good suction for some good old sticking play. 

(3) Improved Design - the latest and re-designed version of Plui Rainball (pictured) can be “opened-up” and taken apart for cleaning, which is a great improvement from the previous form (which apparently caused mould-growth according to some online reviews). Well done for getting this problem sorted! 

(4) Versatile Toys- apart from being bath toys, most of these moluk products can also be played on “dry land”. Loving how versatile these things are!
