Today is World Animal Day!
October 4th is World Animal Day, but true animal lovers will want to celebrate their favourite animals all year long! My oldest son has been an ocean life lover since he was just a small boy and still today in his teens (eek! how did the teen years get here so quick!) they are still #1 in his books.
In particular he’s had a love of sharks since about Kindergarten, but he frequently reads books and researches all kinds of different marine life. When I saw these products from Flexo and Pop Sockets, I knew that all three of my boys would adore them!
Flexo
These pliable silicone connectors add whole new flexibility to rigid building bricks, allowing kids to imagine and construct creations with bendability, bounce-ability and spring action! Flexo is the world’s only flexible brick system and has an entire range of sets focused on undersea creatures. There are five sets to choose from: a turtle, fish, crab, seahorse or stingray. Each set offers a fun building experience and the finished set can bend, bounce and spring so you can truly flex your imagination!
How cute are these Sea Turtle and Crab sets?!
These Flexo sets are geared for kids aged 7 and up and come with a fun tech portion where you can install the Flexo app on your device and watch your creation come to life with augmented reality! Plus, taking that ocean component one step further, the creations really float! Other Flexo sets are available for younger age groups.
Pop Sockets
What started way back in 2012 as a device to keep your ear buds from getting tangled, now they are virtually a household name more commonly used for helping you keep a better grip on your mobile device. They are expandable to different lengths and can also be used as a stand for your phone. It can be tricky to find gifts for teens, especially cost conscience ones but these little guys are super fun and functional! With so many creative designs to choose from, you’ll be able to find one to suit your own child’s personality – just like this shark one I found for my ocean loving kid!
Pop Sockets make a great stocking stuffer idea for teens, tweens and even adults!
Happy World Animal Day! We’ll be celebrating by playing with our new products from Flexo and Pop Sockets and taking our dog for a walk of course! Couldn’t celebrate the occasion without him!
Happy I checked out these blog post I am so getting the shark pop socket for my son for Xmas!
My grandson would love the Crab set from Flexo.
They may have been out a while and I’m just behind the times but I’ve never heard of Pop Sockets before today. They sound interesting for a phone but I fear I’d tip my drink down me if eating with the same hand when using the can holder.
The shark pop socket sounds like something I should add to my list !
My grandson would love the Flexo turtle. These sets would make great Christmas gifts.
