Summer has now come and gone, and I had so may plan for Charlie. Nothing happened because we had to take a couple of months off from work. My dad had gotten sick and then my dad came here to stay for a bit which means things I needed to work on ended up packed.
Products I asked was to review slipped my mind with dealing with my dad. Now my dad has returned home and I’m back and working like crazy to get over due reviews done. I have so many products, I want to share with you in my Gift Guide.
One of the items that became a lifesaver when my dad was here was the PlaSmart SmartMat I received in exchange for a review. I am way behind in the report, but I must tell you PlaSmart SmartMat was a lifesaver. I wanted to get pictures to show you all the actual mat, but when my dad left the last time to return home, I packed his room up and didn’t get the mat out.
Let me tell you I have a distraught little boy. Today it is my “GOAL” to go through my dad’s room and see what all was put in there that should not have been so I can show you the PlaSmart SmartMat and the beautiful colors and all the items you will find on it.
Charlie and I have played and played and played on the mat and each time we get it out we find new stories to make up. From kings and dragons to pirates and fair maidens. All the children in the neighborhood love coming and playing with us when we have the mat out. Charlie has carried it from room to room as well as outside and over to the neighbors to share with his friends.
I have even started to run Craft Fairs and Quarter Auctions in my hometown, and I take this with us for the kids that come to the events to play on as it keeps them busy and out of there parents hair.
With Christmas right around the corner, I can’t wait to order another one for Charlie plus the other kids in our family. I am going to order one of the mats for a couple of local business owners I work with as I know, it will allow their businesses to run more smoothly and for them to be able to talk to the parents without the children interrupting them time and time again as children get bored so quickly.
I am the parent that gets down on the floor and plays with Charlie but since we received the PlaSmart SmartMat, even David gets done on the rug and plays with us which has brought Charlie and David closer.
I love that Charlie thinks outside the box when playing and he uses it to play with his cars with and he lays on it to color in his coloring books, and he gets out paper and draws the castles. Charlie has even slept on the mat when he stays up late playing Video Games.
I have even seen him put a Cars movie in and perform scenes from the film he is watching. PlaSmart SmartMat has to lead to Charlie using his imagination over and over which I love. I can’t wait to see what he does when I pick him up a new mat.
I love knowing it keeps Charlie from being on the cold floor as we have wooden floors throughout the house so once we redo his room this will be the carpet we put down inside there as it will keep his feet from getting cold but allow him always to have somewhere to play. The sad thing will be trying to get him into bed at night as he will want to play all night.
PlaSmart Toys is a new Sponsor, and I haven’t had the chance to look at PlaSmart Toys and all the different toys they carry, but I plan to as I am sure Charlie will love everything. Check out PlaSmart Toys for these fun mats and also all other toys they sell. Such as the Fun Slides Carpet Skates which Charlie has asked for for Christmas.
If I were a child, I would like the PlasmaCar which I have always wanted to get Charlie, but so far I haven’t been able to. Although with Charlie turning seven I would need to purchase this soon if I did I are buying one for Charlie I know every child in the area would be asking to ride his car because it looks like it would be a whole lot of fun.
Please take the time and check out PlaSmart Toys for all of your Holiday Shopping needs as they offer items for both boys and girls of all ages. You can find them at:

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
