Nerd Block Jr comes from the makers of Nerd Block, and is designed to appeal to children ages 6-11. There's a boy's version and a girl's version. It's $13.99 a month, although, with shipping, I think it averages to around $16.00 to the United States, it's still cheaper than regular Nerd Block though.
I chose the girl's box.
First peak inside.
Unlike regular Nerd Block, Nerd Block Jr does not come with a tee-shirt. It comes with a collection of stuffed animals, toys, figurines, and things like that to appeal to a younger generation.
A My Little Pony Pencil Case, I've found a similar item, featuring Rainbow Dash, for about $8.00.
It comes with two little pencils, two pretty awesome erasers, and a sheet of stickers. It's pretty nifty, and there are lots of items I can use in there to bribe my pre-k students with. And who doesn't like stickers?
A Bear Plushie from Brave, worth about $11.00. While Brave certainly isn't my favorite Disney movie, I have to admit, the bear is really cute :)
A Hello Kitty Mega-Block figurine, worth $1.50. This will be another welcome prize into my pre-k prize box. My pre-k students love Hello Kitty. Or maybe it can be a D&D figurine.
A My Little Pony Pinkie Pie Slap Bracelet, worth $1.50ish. I remember, in the 80s, where slap bracelets were cool, guess that's coming back in style. My students would love picking this out of the prize box.
A Mega Blocks Moshi Monster Build-A-Monster set. worth $11.00. My fiance has already stolen this because he loves himself some legos.
So the overall value was: $33.00, which is double what I paid for it.
I think Nerd Block Jr is a fun subscription, and I think it's something that kids [and adults] would really enjoy. I like all the little toys. As a teacher, they're all things that are great to use in a classroom, as a reward. Now, if only they'd throw some Pokemon, into the mix, I'd be very happy :)
How do you get a value of $33? Mine even said on the front of the box what was in it and how much it cost, it came to $13.99 even which is how much the box is before shipping. I loved my box. Your Hello Kitty is cuter than mine. I got the police officer one.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got my box, I scanned the barcodes of the items with my Amazon app to get an estimated value of the stuff that was inside. For example:

So for just those 3 items I figured about $25 depending on where you buy and the shipping and all that... :)
First of all, the prices on the box are in Canadian dollars, not American dollars, so the price they give you, aren't what it's worth in the United States. Canadian dollars have a lower value than the American dollar.
DeleteAs for how I figure out prices. I'm not as cool as Kara with her bar code scanner, I just enter them into a shopping google search, and average the prices.
I liked the first box. Like I said, my niece stole most of it, but I did get to keep the Brave bear, haha. We got the Applejack bracelet and gardner kitty and everything else was the same. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe bear was very cute :) I'll add it to my stuffed animal collection. I hope in a later box there are pokemon stuffed animals, LOL.
DeleteThe stuff I don't use, will be a great edition to my prize box, whenever I get back to school :P
Did you ever determine if your slap bracelet smelled? I'm seriously considering just throwing it away. It smells SO bad.
ReplyDeleteMine didn't smell. Either way, it's a prize for my prize box, so if it does smell, it's my students' problem, not mine, LOL.
