Are your Kids using the new "X" Word?
December 20, 2010
Product Review By Lauren Fix, The Car Coach®Parents beware! Kids all around the world are using the new "X" word, and it's spreading! The word is "Xoddo". It's pronounced "zough-dough", and it comes from Xoddo.com. The website lets kids create their own unique characters then turns them into all kinds of amazing products. Children are spending hours and hours online with this new character building tool. Beware it's fun, but it's addictive!
It's free too! Once they sign up for an account they can build, save, print and share as many designs as they want. It's a fun activity that can provide hours of creative time for those kids that are looking for something to do over the holidays.
Once someone designs a Xoddo character they can turn them into stuffed toys, stickers, blankets, clothes, Fathead wall decals and more. And all of the Xoddo products* are made right here in the USA. So you know the quality is great and your dollar stays in here instead of heading to China.
Their gift certificate make perfect gifts too. It lets kids design their own toy, shirt or any number of really great products. Their design becomes real. A great last minute gift idea. You can send it by email or print it out yourself as you're heading out the door.
Designer Russell Benfanti - a personal friend of mine created the site himself. I've used his design and illustration services for years (recognize the logo?). And watched him develop this site with his own children over the last couple of years. It's an amazing site. I wish him the best. Check it out at http://www.xoddo.com
