Review: "We loved this winter Hat! It kept my 3 year old sons face covered and warm without the complaints from some of the other things we have used when it was super cold and he wanted to play outside. Would highly recommend. Also like that it can be pulled down by the face as well I’d you wish!" — Melissa

Review: "We live in a cold climate so a scarf is needed in the winter. Scarves aren't super safe for little kids, so I was looking for an alternative. So glad I came across this! The smaller size is perfect for my 2 year old and it keeps her neck and lower part of face warm. It's easy to put on and isn't bulky, but it's warm enough to do the job. Love this I will buy a second when she outgrows the small." — GG

Review: "These socks are great! To give others a better idea of sizing--The 1-3 year socks are the same size as GAP 12-24 months after washing. I only washed them in cold and air dried. The socks are thick and well made with super cute designs (we picked the animal faces). They do not have the little grippers like GAP does, so these are better for a carpeted house :) My daughter loves these socks!!!!" — Erica

Review: "Okay so my daughter has absolutely hated hats (and clothing in general) since she was a baby. Which isn’t the most comforting as a mother with anxiety about her child not getting sick. However, ended up having the opposite problem with this hat. She is absolutely in love with it and wants to wear it all the time. At home, for bed... legit will lose her mind if I take it off. I’ve actually had to hide it here and there after taking it off when she fell asleep. It’s a beautiful hat. Great material and well made. It’s durable which is a must for toddler hands. And omg its sooo pretty. I’m not gonna lie I bought it because I wanted a cute hat for my daughter for Instagram lolz. My husband is super picky on what his princess wears so I was thankful he too liked it. And great price!!!" — Midnight Raven 11

Review: "This jacket was great in every way! I ordered a Kids XL for my 10 y.o. and it's big on her and that's what we wanted. She has used it in the snow and it held up great. She has used it for school and snow tubing as well! She said it kept her very warm and dry. It got a little dirty on the back side-bottom jacket from the "dirty snow" and we hand cleaned it first then washed it. We have washed it twice now and DOES BETTER AIR DRIED! This is a 5 star jacket/coat. I'm now going to order an Adult size for me!" — Heather Stewart

Review: "We live in Florida so we don’t see snow here. This was a stocking stuffer for my son who’s never seen snow before. I added a video of him pouring the packet into the water. It sets up very fast then he mixes it with his hands, and there you have it SNOW. I helped him make a small snowball and he made the snowman. It doesn’t pack as well as actual snow does but it works as you can see from my pictures. We followed the direction which was very simple. This is something fun for the kids while inside. It’s been 2 weeks since we made the snow and he still has it in his bucket. As the water dries up i do notice that it starts to turn back into the powder. So I’m assuming we can reuse it again." — Nicole

Review: "Great buy. After reading reviews I wasn’t sure what size to get or if they weren’t going to fit but the sizes for me were pretty accurate. I bought two. The gray one for my 6 almost 7 year old in size XS it was a great fit but I’m sure it won’t fit him for next year. He is very thin from the waist. I should’ve gotten a small size and I’m sure that one would’ve fit good and still last for another year. The other one I bought was for my 8 yr old in size Small Husky. He is a little bit thicker than my 6 yr old but it fit a little bit loose. It has some Velcro straps to adjust but even like that was a bit loose but I’m sure it will fit for next year so it wasn’t a bad buy. He was able to use it comfortably and will still fit for next year. They are great for snow play. They kept them dry and were comfortable with them. I was able to tuck the inner lining to the inside of the boots so it really was a great buy." — KenyaC

50-Pk Fake Snowballs For Kids: Perfect for indoor and outdoor snowball fights and holiday decorations that'll keep the laughter and joy alive even off-season!

Review: "These balls are so soft that getting pelted in the face with one feels like a gentle bop on the nose. I don’t even cringe when they bounce of the TV. When you squeeze them, they even crunch in a way similar to snow. Pretty cool! 45 of these bad boys made for an hour of fun with four people playing, including a 6 year old who was more interested in hoarding them. Each ball is a perfect throwing size, not too big for my little and not too small for me... I see tons of fun this season because of this fun, creative toy! Definitely going to become a holiday tradition in our home!" — Kimberly Hyatt

Review: "This sled is epic! It has a automatic retractable tow rope for pulling the sled back up the hill, but we have also used it to pull our kids down the driveway in. The only assembly requires was just putting the steering wheel into place. It does have a brake handle to pull back in. It has an anti slip seat and fits my 3 year old and my almost 6 year old great! They had so much fun on this sled. It was an awesome Christmas present and was most definitely a great value for the money!" — Always a Mom

Review: "The packaging was damaged - as I knew it would be from the option I selected, but the truck was so well packaged the box could’ve taken a real beating and the truck would’ve been fine. Works as advertised! Dad and I charged it up for about ten minutes and got twenty minutes of fun from it, weird rain storms have melted most of the NorCal snow - so we tested it on some household items to see how much it could handle. I’m sure it could push more weight as snow it slippery and household items kind of just dead weight on the floor. It was able to handle around 8 pounds, and could lift about 3-4 pounds with the blade and drive around no problem! This thing is fast, and turns really smoothly. Definitely a great buy for a boy (or grown man) that is into hobby trucks! I am impressed and definitely will buy more trucks from this brand!" — Krysta

Review: "Both my 3 year old and 7 year old love this. It took my 3 year old some practice to understand the hand eye coordination needed to lift or drop the bucket with his left hand and scoop/drop stuff with his right. In regards to assembly, it was easy except for the seat. You have to screw into the plastic directly. There were no starter holes and one screw had no point. It took a lot of arm muscle to push it through and hope we didn't strip the screw. The rest was fine. It's sturdy metal without being super heavy. The seat is plastic." — Jill

Review: "This was a great toy for the kids, good for entry level and teaching the kids about snow shoes and how they work, the straps were a little crappy and didn't hold when adjusted but that was a good lesson for the kids on how to make something work when you're in a sticky spot, we just knotted the strap behind the buckle so it wouldn't slide back out, it wasn't enough of a problem that I wouldn't recommend them. Fair for the price and the kids love em and blazing their own trails in the backyard, I would recommend." — Justin K
