Nerd Block Jr, Girls: March 2014

I may be an adult, but I still love toys and stuffed animals. That's why when Nerd Block announced Nerd Block Jr, I was intrigued.

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 :)
