Our boys occasionally watch the Qubo channel when PBS Kids is off the air. (We only have the basic channels but somehow get Qubo in the 100s??). The shows on Qubo are cute and a change of pace from Wild Kratts and Daniel Tigers Neighborhood. The bad thing about Qubo is it has TONS and TONS of commercials all geared toward kids wanting silly things you can purchase by phone. All kinds of things like Pillow Pets, Dream Lites, Stompees slippers and the slushy cups.
One day Levi really, really wanted to go buy a snow cone maker. He had money saved up and was insistent that's what he wanted to spend it on. We got to Target and the only snow cone maker they had was $50! I knew he wouldn't use it very much and I definitely didn't want him to spend that kind of money on one. We happened across a section of "as seen on TV" products and the slushy cup was there! A perfect alternative to the snow cone machine and a much better price (still $15!).
Levi loves his cup - mainly the spoon straw that came with it - but he loves to make a slushy! It's also super easy to use - we just have to freeze the cup and then pour a little juice in and smash it up and we have a slushy!
The only problem --- Isaiah always wants to use it too! :)
