Thames & Kosmos - Product Review

It really is never too early to start planning your Christmas shopping. As my husband pointed out just this past weekend, Christmas is less than six months away. Oye. Anyway, shopping early means you can keep an eye out for great sales. Thames & Kosmos is a great brand that is going to come in really handy for our son this year. He's seven and he's into all things science, space, building, exploring and more.

Thames & Kosmos has tons of sets to choose from and they are all really affordable. We're excited to try out the Solar Car Kit. You can build a vehicle powered off solar energy as well as four other model options. When you are done, you can use solar energy to power the vehicle and drive it across the floor. I like this set because not only does your child get to build the kit but then they get to learn about solar energy in order to power the vehicle.

We also receive Ubongo to try out. Ubongo is a fast paced game that requires players to collect pieces and create a pre-determined geometric design. When the design is completed, a gem is acquired and the player who gets the most gems wins the game. It's an interesting game that keeps you thinking and keeps you moving. There is no dull moment with Ubongo.

For more information on the Solar Car Kit or Ubongo you can visit www.thamesandkosmos.com. You can also peruse all of the other sets and games available from this brand. You can find their products both online and in mass retail stores across the country.
