What are Think-ets? I didn’t know either until I received a bag of them for this review. Think-ets is an educational and fun-filled game using adorable tiny treasures from around the world that inspire creativity and test memory. Think-ets is an at-home game, a travel game, a party game, a storytelling game, a camping game—perfect for children and their families.Think-ets are bags of little toys that can be used to play fun, imaginative games. You buy them by the pouch and get a random assortment, ours looked like this and contained 14 items:

Each pouch comes with a suggested list of games you can play with Think-ets, like “What’s Missing?”, where you have your child close their eyes, take away a few items, and then ask you to tell them what’s missing. We took our pouch with us to Fazoli’s for lunch one afternoon and just sorting and playing with them kept Kaitlyn in her highchair for much longer than usual. She kept picking up the tiny pig and saying “oh, piggy, so cute!” We counted how many items we had and sorted them into two piles, too.

Think-ets come in a simple mesh bag, no excess packaging to throw away, and while the price of $12.99 might seem high, here’s why it’s not. Edited to add: my apologies to Think-A-Lot Toys, the price is $9.99! From the website:

1) We Strive for Quality
All of our “tiny treasures” have been painstakingly sourced to avoid cheap plastic items that exist the world over—and that contribute to our world’s trash heap. We don’t believe in games that are bought one day and tossed the next.
2) We Buy Hand-Crafted Miniatures
Take for example our pieces from Mexico (the valuable copper ladles, pitchers, chalices, cups, glazed ceramic mugs, wire “batidors” [beaters], wire potato mashers, colored-fiber pot scrubbers, cheese graters, straw hats, breads and pastries.) All of them are hand-made by artisans working in villages throughout Mexico. They work under humane conditions and get paid enough to make a living in their country. We think this is important to caring customers! We buy hand-turned wooden chalices, green bottles and mugs made in postwar Germany by a crafters guild. We buy beautifully hand-painted phthalate-free (that’s a good thing) polyresin animals from a conscientious company that provides
their workers with a healthy work environment and a living wage. And, we buy little metal tools (tested for lead safety) that actually work! Kids marvel over and become engaged in our “tiny treasures.”
3) Our Colored Treasure Stones are Actually Semi-Precious Gems
Ever wondered where these beautiful stones come from? They are from South Africa and are a reminder of the beauty of our natural world. Other “tiny treasures” are equally special—our miniature books have real pages and some even have titles.

Even my boys wanted to play with the tiny treasures in the Think-ets bag! I’m naming Think-ets a MomReviews Fabulous Find, and I thank Lisa from Kidstuff P.R. for sending me the product for the review!
