Little Jet Set Helps Holiday Travelers Stay Merry

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

CONGRATULATIONS mommyjen99!

I loved the title on the press release that came with these products: "TIS THE SEASON TO SCHLEP THROUGH ICE AND SNOW." How many of you have plans to travel this holiday season? And those of you traveling - how many of you are dreading the trip itself more than the family time? Are visions of "Are we there yet Mom?" and "I'm BBOORREED?" echoing through your mind already? If we're all being honest here, we have to admit that even the most well behaved children have a tough time traveling. For children, waiting in lines, sitting in traffic and keeping still for hours on airplanes is an impossible feat.

But I'm here to tell you, Little Jet Set has the solution. In the past, we've been content to stick our kids in front of travel DVD players so they can watch away the time. But now they are older and I'm loathe to turn them into "T.V. zombies." Lucky for us, and for like minded parents, http://www.littlejetset.com/ is a website that has great toys, gifts and other fun ideas for traveling families. Whether you're the family that's doing the traveling or you're the ones being traveled to, www.littlejetset.com should be your FIRST destination. In addition to having one of the internet's most extensive family-travel oriented selections, littlejetset.com has some of the greatest toys, books and dolls available anywhere. Here are the two products that were sent to us for review:

For my daughter, Sugar & Spice: Fashion Girls - $19.99 My daughter is WILD about dolls of any kind. This was her first foray into paper dolls though and she loved, loved, loved them! And why not? Over 100 magnetic outfit combinations! These are nothing like the paper dolls we grew up with - the clothes actually stay in place since they are magnets! Hours of fun to be had on trips or just at home!

"Sometimes sweet, sometimes snappy. With so much to wear, always happy! Girls will love letting their imaginations run wild as they dress Sugar and Spice in dozens of different outfits and place them in nine different scenes. Dolls and magnetic clothing come ready to play (no pieces to punch out) and store in a built-in drawer”great for travel! Two dolls and hundreds of magnetic outfit combinations for hours of mix-and-match fun. A perfect gift for any occasion, Sugar and Spice: Fashion Girls is the ultimate magnetic dress-up doll set. Illustrated by Lisa Perrett; 9 1/2 in. x 11 in. x 1 1/3 in.; Ages 3+"

And for my son, My First Amazing Game Board Book - $19.99 How cool is this? Over 50 games and activities in one compact book!! It has a magnetic closure too so nothing escape easily when stored. My son's favorite activity? The shoe with real laces at the end so he can practice tying his shoe (complete with picture instructions)! I liked the sheet of letters where he can practice the letters and wipe off and start over! It's just like the sheet he brings home in his homework.

"Kids will never be bored with My First Amazing Game Board Book! With more than 50 games and activities, this ultimate portable game board book is perfect for summer fun and travel. In addition to familiar favorites such as tic-tac-toe, memory match, mazes, dot-to-dot, and a drawing board, there is also a magnetic weather board with pieces to dress bear for the different seasons, a weaving frame to exercise fine motor skills, a shoe-tying board with actual shoe laces, a math bingo game, an all-about-me board, a game of opposites, a peg board to pattern or make your own designs, and a letter and number board, as well as many more games and activities to do on the write-on/wipe-off pages.
