Review: Power Rangers Dino Charge Sandals #PowerRangersDinoChargeShoes

My Thoughts:

Here are the things I like about these Power Rangers Dino Charge sandals. I like the thick fabric straps on it and the thick foam sole. These make them pretty comfortable sandals for my 5 year old. He also loves the design of the Power Ranger Dino Charge. This type of flip flop they make in both a red and a blue. The flip flop was the only footwear they make that are in a youth size, if you are looking for a child size (12 & smaller) then there are a variety of clogs to choose from as well as strapped flip flops.

Honestly, I have procrastinated completing this review because I was hoping I could have a completely positive review, but I do have to tell you that the off-gassing from these sandals is not pleasant. I let them sit outside for several days after I took them out of the package because the smell was so strong. It has now been over 3 weeks and I still will not allow them to be in my house because if they are I can smell it right away and go searching for what stinks. They stay on the porch and he can wear them around the yard or on short car trips to the pool. It's too bad they are like that because they are cute and are comfortable for him.

FREE Online Summer Math Program

FREE ONLINE SUMMER MATH PROGRAM!!

I just signed up my kids for this FREE!!!! Online Summer Math Learning Program called TenMarks.  It is supposed to be for grades 1 through Algebra 2 & HS Geometry. You set up your own incentive program for kids to earn rewards. If you decide to do this with your child(ren), they first have to complete an assessment (it was 20 questions for 1st grade and 30 questions for 3rd grade) that does not count towards their assignments that they earn rewards from. You decide on the rewards that you want to give and the frequency. From what I can tell there is 10 questions per assignment, at least so far.

Fun Kids Cars Fruit Snack

How fun are these little Cars Fruit Snacks?!?!?!?!

My kids thought these were so fun. As I brought them these snacks in another room I was making an engine noise and then made a tire screech sound right before I got to them. They thought I was hilarious (or maybe I just thought I was hilarious).

Anyways, this is super simple healthy kid fun food. I have also seen them made with orange slices and blueberries.
