Kid-friendly crafting with the BeaverBot C2 Cutter

2026-03-27T04:43:15Z

I love that the BeaverBot C2 cutter inspires independent and meaningful play without all the rules and restrictions. With almost no instruction, kids can easily figure it out, get their own recycled art supplies {yay for using recyclable materials!} and spend hours building and creating without any screens involved.

The XNITO eVehicle helmet is NTA 8776 certified helmet that designed for eScooters and eBikes that go up to 28mph, which is amazing when you’re talking about sending your kids off in open-air, small wheeled eVehicles that travel at car speeds and lack basic crash protection.

ACMER Ascarva 4S CNC Router Machine

2026-03-22T03:42:37Z

I love the ACMER Ascarva 4S CNC machine and the fact that it is modular which makes it incredibly easy to assemble, repair and update parts as often as you’d like. You can upgrade the spindle to tackle larger projects or harder materials. And, even better, the ACMER Ascarva is compatible with their 5W/10W laser modules which converts the router machine into a laser engraver.
