Is it hot in here?!

It is so hard to know whether or not the room is the right temperature for the kids. We have a temperature display on the monitor, but I'm never sure how accurate it is, and Rob struggles to read the small numbers.

What to do???

Then I saw the Gro-bag egg. Not only will it give me the correct temperature, but will also provide me with a 'quick glance' colour indicator.

What happens is the egg lights up 3 colours:

Blue - The room is too cold



Yellow - The room is just right

Red - The room is too hot




Simple as that! It's an easy to use system and even Joshua can tell now if his room is the right temperature. It helped with colours - Blue is too cold and Red is too hot. Yellow means my room is the perfect spot. The display also has a smiley face system - when the egg is blue or red, it shows a sad face and when it is the yellow the egg shows a happy face. It's great to just pop your head around the door and instantly see that the temperature in ok...without going into the room, standing on a toy, waking up the children...we've all done it!

Another great feature is that it also doubles up as a night light - one less object to plug in at night or put batteries in.

This product retails around £20 and this is the main negative comment that I have heard. But i you take into account the fact that is is a thermometer, a night light and a very good teaching tool - bargain!
