We were so excited to host a Tryazon Learning with Lauri Party! Growing up in Smethport, PA, I was familiar with the educational magnet games from Smethport Specialties. When Patch products of Beloit, WI bought that company  and then I moved to Wisconsin  I was still happy every time I saw one of those fun toys in a store, or Cracker Barrel gift shop, etc. During the time I worked as a preschool teacher, I became more familiar with Lauri toys, especially the foam puzzles. So, seeing all of these great products together  in this Play Monster box, was not only fun for my kids  but for me, as well! We are homeschooling our oldest, and I always need more educational toys and activities for him, and for his younger sisters, to keep them busy as he works on school (but still learning, not just "occupied"

Our kids favorite was the tall stackers, with the extra wheels and connectors. They made trucks, light sabers, and lots more. The shape sorter was a big hit with our 1.5 year old, as well.

About once a week, we have friends over for a playdate, so this party was a great excuse for me and my friends to get together, while our kids played with all the toys. We talked about how these toys would make great gifts  and some of them, like the Objects magnets and Action language cards  would be awesome in autism therapy, speech therapy, etc. All the toys were a huge hit!
