Ridermakerz Xtreme Customz Batman Fun!
Who says that Ridemakerz Xtreme Customz are just for boys?
When the package came in the mail from Ridemakerz Xtreme Customz Batman pack the first thing my three year old daughter did was open it up and started playing! She loved it, it kept her so busy building her custom ride!
Check out the finished result:
Doesn’t it look mean and fast?
Some extras to the ride were batman wings, new chrome wheels and even a power booster on the back.
About the Ridez
At its four flagship SHOP locations, RIDEMAKERZ invites guests, or “Customizers”, into the ultimate car customizing experience where they can build one-of-a-kind RIDEZ (1:18 scale; about the size of a football). Between body styles and colors, rims and tires, lights and sounds, accessories and decals, there are more than 649 million possible combinations, not including individual decal placement! RIDEZ can also be built and purchased online.
Because of strong consumer demand, RIDEMAKERZ has translated its unique product and play pattern to customization kits that are available at retailers such as Toys “R” Us, Costco, CVS, and more. This line is offered in multiple sizes (1:18 scale as well as 1:48 scale; about the size of a smart phone) and called XTREME CUSTOMZ. Check out this newest edition to our RIDEZ offering at XTREMECUSTOMZ.com.
Our Fun
My boys (ages 4 and 7) were so excited to have their very own party to try out the new Batman Xtreme Customz Rides. We sent invitations to our friends and invited them all to wear batman gear such as their t-shirts, costumes, hats or whatever they have. To go along with the theme we used some ideas from the Party Menu for our snacks, we drank Power Punch and Bat Cave Cupcakes (recipes below.) All of the 4 boys that attended went home with their very own Xtreme Customz Batman cars along with our wish list of what carz we wanted next!

Alternative Uses for Razors!!
One item that I have in my stockpile is disposable razors and what the heck can do you with disposable razors other then donations and using them yourself? I searched the internet for days on this subject and did not come up with many uses!
One use for razors is to de-fuzz sweaters!! You know the white lint thingys that are on your sweaters, sweatshirts, blankets etc…? How to de-fuzz your sweaters is really simple, just take the item on a flat surface and take the razor and “shave” away the junk!! In between shaves just rinse off the fuzz and continue. Makes your sweaters good as new.
Another use for razors is for getting paint off of glass (not very effective in corners but it helps!) All you do is use your razor and shave the window. It works just like a regular blade.
I wish I could come up with more ideas but I am at a standstill! What do you use all the disposable razors for?
Here are some coupons if you need some disposable razors:

Rainy Day Activity: Reusing Egg Cartons
This week my kids are on Spring Break and here in Poland its a cold rainy day. I got this cool idea from my son’s Pre-K teacher, where you take an empty egg carton and in each hole (where the egg would sit) you paint a separate color. The Pre-K activity is over the Spring Break they have to bring their “treasure boxes” back full of different things from vacation and tell their classmates about it. But for today this was a perfect rainy day inside activity that keeps the kids quiet for at least a few minutes.
After the paint dries have the kids explore either indoors or outdoors to find different items to fill their carton that match the color. For example if the space is green they have to find something green like a leaf, a piece of grass, really anything to get them exploring.
We started this earlier this week with my child who is in Pre-K and he has really enjoyed it. The different things the kids will find will make interesting conversation.
