Host a Blaze Play Date for STEM Inspired Fun and a Chance to Win

Our newest writer, Jen Haas from Plain Vanilla Mom, is back today to follow up on her post about the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) side of Blaze toys and share the fabulously fun Blaze Play Date she hosted with her kids. This post is sponsored and Jen was provided sample toys to review from Nickelodeon, but her opinions are her own.

We’ve been having so much fun with our new Blaze and the Monster Machine “friends” that we decided we should invite some real friends over for a play date to check out our new toys.

My boys were beyond thrilled because we don’t very often host play dates as elaborate as this one. You’ll see what I mean…

Blaze Play date Party Table Set Up

To make our Blaze play date extra fun & festive we downloaded this Free Blaze Play Date pack with games, crafts & recipes from Target.com.

The kids loved the Blaze printables we downloaded for free from Target.com and these extra fun activities from nickjr.com including coloring sheets, cupcake toppers, straw toppers, and goodie bags.

The added decor made our play date extra fun.

I loved having a “theme” for our play date for a change and because of the printables it was so easy to do. This would be great for a birthday party and super easy to throw together. I literally printed out all this and put it together the night before.

Blaze Playdate Coloring SheetsThe kids loved the coloring pages and it was a nice break from all the high energy play when we needed it.

STEM In Real-Life Play

We set up the rock and sand pit I shared with you in this earlier post for our Blaze die cast figure. But this time just about all the trucks had a go at the sand pit.

We had a vast range of ages playing with our Blaze toys and everyone, and I mean everyone, from the 2 year old to the 10 year olds, loved the Slam & Go trucks.

These trucks were definitely the hit of the play date. Slam & Go Blaze and Crusher are so fun to play with. I mean who doesn’t love a truck that you can push down on the back of and then watch it zoom off?

We upped the excitement factor with our DIY “track”. That was when the action really kicked in. The kids loved experimenting with how far they could make Crusher & Blaze go depending on how much force they used to press down on the trucks.

I loved that without even realizing it they were learning about elements of STEM like acceleration.

After all that playing we had to refuel those little bodies… No play date would be complete without snacks right?

We are big smoothie fans in this house so I was thrilled that our party pack came with a smoothie recipe to serve.

    Yet, there are grants that are made for equipment and
    training. With good habit and savings, you can be assured of having enough to start your own business.
    Always choose a new account, and look for a specialized bank whenever
    possible.

    Then send the postcard to all of the addresses in your area, and try to
    draw customers in. Further, amount of loan must be need-based, subject to ceiling of
    Rs 25,000 per borrower for purchase of machinery or equipment etc, and
    meeting working capital requirement of one operating cycle.

    Make the process pain-free with debt collection software for a small business that automates this tedious process and adds to
    your company’s bottom line. Always choose a new account, and look for a specialized bank whenever

    Or, perhaps you’re one of those students who desires a challenge,
    or even a good addition to your résumé for Grad school.
    When job offers do come and I’ll admit, some companies may fear hiring you because
    they fear a former owner being an employee, negotiate the best salary you can along
    with the best benefits you can for you and your family.
    A customer is injured while using a product you sold
    and files a claim for indemnity.

    Then send the postcard to all of the addresses in your area,
    and try to draw customers in. As with everything else, it
    is only the mindset of the entrepreneur that dictates the success and failure of
    a company. Selling the same things, to the same market,
    in the same way.
