Surprises! I love all the surprise toys that are out there. This one though, is a bit different… FAIRIES!
YES! Finally some fairy toys! These are brand new and are made by Blue Whale Toys. I love the colorful foil wrapping, oh and the blind bags are SUPER easy to open.. they literally tear open! No more scissors.. or teeth/mouth opening like my boys do.. Ha!
We were SOO lucky to receive two of these. Aren’t they so appealing? I couldn’t wait to open them up!
Fairyland Cuties Surprise Dolls Adorable dolls packaged in multiple layers of shiny foil. Peel each layer of foil to reveal a new accessory! Use the accessories to decorate your doll. 6 surprises inside. 14 dolls to collect, each about 3” tall, 12 reugular and 2 rare dolls. Hidden accessories include gemstone stickers, hair accessory, wand, and collector’s sheet with sticker.
I was surprised at how big the fairies were! I was expecting them to be a lot smaller, but LOVE the size they are. The fairies themselves come in a plastic egg looking container, so cute!
Check out more about these sweet fairies on their web site.
There are so colorful! I love the little sticky jewels they come with. You can decorate the egg that they come in or even decorate the fairy!
There are over 12 to collect and you can purchase these on Amazon.
They have these in a 2 pack on Amazon for $10 which is a GREAT price, they also have a 4 Pack on Amazon for $20 ! Perfect for stocking stuffers or a kids gift exchange! I really am super shocked at the price, for $5 each.. this is a steal!
Better hurry and order some now for the stockings before they sell out! These are going to be HOT, especially at that price!
Check out our cute video review! Boxy Girl Brooklyn and Hairdorables Rayne Showers helped us out 😉
STEM Toys! These are becoming more and more popular and I for one, am super excited to see more and more of them! As a child plays with STEM sets, they are playing as well as learning. My boys love to learn, they are like little sponges, soaking up everything that they can… Good.. or bad..! Ha!
When asked to review this, I was beyond excited!
We were sent the Education Robotics Set.
Description:
Ready for some more? Education Kit is the perfect addition to any kids – or classroom. With the added distance sensor, the builds become more functional and versatile, allowing the young explorers to easily grasp complex coding concepts like triggers, routines and conditionals. Build with your hands, apply your imagination to create Robo’s next task and use your brain muscle to make it work. Robo Wunderkind is the perfect combo of STEAM and fun, created by educators, engineers and designers for the endless hours of engaging play.
There are projects that you can create that are listed in the apps guide or you can create something on your own! Oh course my son wanted to wing it and figure it all out on his own! He created a robot and named it LJ, after his brother! Ha! It was really sweet.
Each piece has its own function and the start up booklet explains what each piece does. There is so much to this! As the child gets to use this more and more the more they will experiment more and more with the pieces.
There are two apps that you can use with the Robo Wunderkind sets. This one is the Robo Code app. You can find and download these apps from Google Play or the App Store.
This app let’s you code your creation. You can code really simple things or advance! Like I said, as your child gets familiar with it, the more they will learn and experiment! We started out really simple!
You can do all kinds of things here, sounds, movement, speed.. so much! We are STILL learning new things!
The Robo Code app opens the world of programming for kids. With its child-friendly design and intuitive coding process, this app guides children in learning 21st-century skills in a fun and easy way. Together with Robo Wunderkind robotics kits, it makes coding and robotics child’s play. Designed for iOS, Android, and Windows. Requires a device with Bluetooth 4.0.
Ok, so this is the Robo Live app. SO SO cool! I would recommend starting out with this before the Robo Code app. This is super simple to use and your child can get familiar with all of the controls and how everything works.
You can reposition the controls, add or remove controls, add sounds, record, name and more!
The Robo Live App allows you to set up a remote control interface to control your robot in real time. Play with your robotic friends by using drag and drop functions on the app’s dashboard, and control your robots’ actions, such as driving, turning, making sounds, blinking, and other. Designed for iOS, Android, and Windows. Requires a device with Bluetooth 4.0.
They have new building blocks coming out soon! Like a camera and an IR Blaster and Receiver! They also offer a start kit and an upgrade kit.
The Education Robotics set retails for $249… I know this may sound like a hefty price, but it is worth every penny! I am very honest when it comes to price when I review products. This set is true to the labeling of “Robotics”. I can honestly say I haven’t seen a set quite like this. It’s so advanced, yet something kids can use, play and learn with!
This is what is included in this set:
8 Blocks:
Main Block
Distance Sensor
2x DC Motors
Servo Motor
RGB Light
Button
Connector Block
Other parts:
3x Wheels
6x Connectors
Wired Connector
4x Lego™ adapters
Charging cable
The set even has a tool that you use to take off the connectors, which is soooo cool! It’s so easy and simple!.
It also had LEGO adapters so kids can build something with LEGOs on these adapters and then can connect it to their creation! I mean.. come one..how cool is that?? It’s really like it never ends.. there is so much to this and I know I am probably going to miss mentioning something!
You can purchase these sets directly from their website or the Robotics & Starter sets can be found on Amazon as well.
Recommended age is 6+ which is spot on in my opinion. My oldest son just turned 6 and he had no problem playing and understanding this set.
Pokemon! This has been around for what seems like forever! My boys are just now getting to the age of being “into” something.. and they just love these toys!
Wicked Cool Toys sent us a HUGE box of some Pokemon toys, even the new plush Pikachu! He is so so cute! I love the voice of Pikachu! Pika Pika!
Have you heard about the new Pokemon Detective Pikachu movie coming out? There are mixed feelings about this movie, but I am super excited for it!
I bet these toys are going to be even hotter now! (Wicked Cool Toys will be launching all new toys for the the new movie in April 2019!!)
LOVE the poke ball with the soft Pokemon inside! You throw it and Litton comes flying out! You can become a real Pokemon Master!! There are others to collect as well.
There are the typical figurine ones and even ones that are articulated! There is an Ash figurine that comes with Pikachu and you place Pikachu on Ash’s arm and then you can fling him off! It’s so cool!
LJ loved opening all of these and finding out what Pokemon is all about.
We have a very nice collection started! Love these toys!
Price ranges for each but can be found at most retailers like Walmart & Amazon.
Check out our video review above! We always have fun with our videos 😉 We may just have to do one like the real movie.. Detective Pikachu 😉
That’s what I think when I see these! Not only are they portable and set up takes like 3 seconds, but these are made from …drum roll… 40% post-consumer material and are fully recyclable! How awesome is that!
I received the smaller sized Space Base.. Such a great size, especially for younger kids, I can only imagine what the larger one is like!
The doors actually open, there are velcro tabs which allow for a sturdier set up, PLUS there are different layouts and a ramp that you can attach.
Kids can definitely exercise their imagination skills with these! You can use any type of figurines. These also make a great back drop for toy photography.
The details on these are amazing.
I loved Star Wars growing up.. and would have LOVED this, my sister and I played with Star Wars figures for years! So don’t rule this out as just a toy aimed for boys, girls will LOVE this too!
I used my Mini Boxy Girls in our video review for this, they fit perfectly!
So this smaller size is perfect for smaller figurines, the ones I used are about 4 inches tall. You can even use cars or any other small toys really!
I totally want to get my hands on a larger set!
Maybe for Christmas 😉
SPACE BASE 18
Blast off with the Space Base! This is the smaller version of the Space Base , but includes all the same great features such as the all-new “convertible” layout, upper control deck, catwalk, oversized landing pad, medical bay, and more! Playset has a 1:18 scale and is great for 3.75″ action figures, toys, and cars!
This particular set retails for $65. Check out Ready Setz for more information and to see the other awesome sets that they have. I LOVE their website, so colorful and interactive.
This would make a PERFECT gift for any child! Actually… PERFECT for grandparents to keep at their house even, so when the grandkids are over the can pop it up and then it fold down and store away for when they are gone.
Check out the video above for a full review and to see just how easy it is to take down and put up!
Emoji’s! Just about anyone with a phone uses them.. and now Blue Whale has taken the Emojis idea and made them into a toy… Mojimotos!
So simple, yet so entertaining! Turn the switch to on, hold down the button on the top, wait for the beep, talk and then they repeat! So so fun! Try singing too… they will sing back! Their eyes and mouth moves too which makes it even more entertaining and funny!
We got the puppy! Which we LOVE because we have a dog, so we definitely love getting anything dog/puppy related!
Look at how cute they are! There are several to collect! They have an ice cream cone, unicorn, taco and more.
My son loves back pack clips, so this is going to make a great addition! He is usually entertaining his classmates in the school pick up line with his other back pack clips. So I am sure there will be kids wanting these around our neighborhood after seeing it!
Check out all the different ones they have on their website.
These retail for around $10 and can be found at Walmart and online on Amazon.
These would be perfect as stocking stuffers or for a gift exchange!
I really want the ice cream and unicorn! I may just have to get them!
YES! Finally some squishes aimed at boys! Don’t get me wrong, girls love these too, I mean.. I do!
The things these companies come up with, its amazing!
They come in these awesome slime disappearing containers. Inside is a way to cool squishy and then a teenie tiny squishy as well! There are two chains so you can use these fun squishes as key chains or on a back pack. There is also a fun cross word puzzle included too and you use this little colored coder piece to see what the letters are! How fun is that? They creatures have super fun names too! There are 6 to collect in this series.
Description:
Tilt the capsule and watch the ooze disappear! Soft, nacho cheese scented, slow-rising foam. Use secret decoder to discover and play the bonus word game. These elusive creatures have escaped from the secret lab on the outskirts of Smooshyville! Each capsule comes with a mystery nacho cheese-scented, slow-rising squishy Creature and Buddy, sticker, secret decoder, and collector’s poster with bonus word search
These would make great stocking stuffers! They retail for around $10 and can be found at Walmart.
What do you all think of these? I think they are so much fun!
It’s that time again! CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.. and since we have reviewed SO many awesome toys, I thought that we would put together a list of our favorites!
I will keep this updated throughout the next few weeks up until Christmas, as we have a lot more toys and games that we haven’t reviewed yet! If you click on the item listed it will take you to our review on it. We also add our video reviews into our written blog reviews so you can see a live review as well. There are links within the written reviews that will take you to a place were you can purchase these products. Some links are affiliated.
We LOVE Mad Mattr.. and now they have launched a blind box type of series!
They are called Meteor Monsters. They consist of a little (super super cute) bag of Mad Mattr and a stretchy monster. They both are in blind bags so that makes it even more fun! A mystery color and a mystery monster!
Once you have the mad mattr and monster out of the bags, you then place half of the mad mattr in the bottom of the small rock container and smash it around to thin it out. Fold the monsters legs inward so hes all tucked in, then place the monster in the container with the smashed out Mad Mattr, then use the remaining Mad Mattr to cover the monster. Smash it all down then flip the container over onto a table or flat surface.. lift off the rock container and the monster will start popping out! It’s so cool!
Each monster has a name and an attitude to match. Look at the bag that the monsters come in! It’s soo cute!
These are so fun. Mad Mattr is definitely a favorite around our house and these make it even more of a favorite now. Love the rock containers!
They would make GREAT stocking stuffers! Amazon has them for around $11, I seen a few on Ebay, but for an out outrageous price, hopefully these will be hitting the shelves at other retailers here soon. I will update this page when they do!
We had so much fun with our video review!
BIG thank you to Relevant Play for sending us these! Check out more about them on their web page!
These companies sure know how to market! Toys just keep on getting better and better!
Blue Whale has some really awesome toys, one of which are these surprise Banana toys. They come in a bunch of 3 or you can get just a single one as well.
I just love how they feel, super thick and durable. They smell like a banana too! They each come with 3 surprise blind bags. You get a figure (called a Crushie) in one, sticker gems and two tiny squishes on another and the last blind bag has the stand you can put the figure on. You can use the gems to decorate the banana, how fun! The banana is reuse able too! Use it to store your goodies in!
There are several to collect and there are commons, rares and even an ultra rare. We found a rare! It was a unicorn! Super cute..
They are supposed to be releasing two more “Bunches” soon, as this one is “Bunch” one. How cute is that? Right now they offer the bananas in 6 colors: blue, yellow, green, orange, pink and purple.
Oh the power of marketing..
Go Bananas for Bananas™!
The latest collectible craze to hit the market. Get them as singles or as beautiful colored bunches. Peel each scented banana to reveal unique Crushie characters inside. You’ll love decorating your Banana Crushie characters with gemstone stickers, or connecting your Crushies together on the vine! Not only do you get beautifully colored Banana bunches, you also get to collect all the unique Crushie characters and their mini squeezable friends!
Check out more about Banana Toys! They have printables and other fun things on their web page.
Price is about $10 for a bunch or about $3-$4 for a single. You can find these are Target, Walmart, Amazon and other retailers.
These would make stocking stuffers! I plan to buy a bunch and give a single one to my boys for Christmas in their stockings!
These might just be my new favorite blind bag toys!
Spin Master has been so good to us! I love getting things that you don’t expect. Especially something this special! It’s like a dream come true!
The all new Paw Patrol Mighty Pups movie is out along with a new line of awesome toys! The pups gain new powers to make them mighty!
We received a HUGE box with a screen at the bottom that plays the trailer to the new movie! OH EM GEE! Beyond cool!
There were all kinds of goodies inside! The new movie was inside, there was also Paw Patrol Popcorn, Paw Patrol fruit snacks, cups and capes and even some of the new toys!
We really enjoyed this box! We had a movie night and ate the popcorn and fruit snacks!
Our Skye loved this box too, she even became a mighty pup and wore a cape.. for like two seconds.. ha!
See! It’s jammed with goodies!
He LOVES dogs.. he is definitely getting into Paw Patrol since we have been getting more of it to review. He’s favorite is Rubble!
Aaron was showing our Skye the Paw Patrol Skye on the fruit snack box.. aww..
The new line of toys are really cool. They are super colorful too. We got a Rubble figurine and he glows, just like in the movie. There was also a cute Marshall plush! We also got the new Chase and his flying vehicle. It came with shooting discs and had other lunching features. From land to sky.. these pups are going to fly!!
You can find these new toys at Walmart, along with the new movie as well! Toys vary in price depending on which ones you want, the movie however, is about $15.
The movie kept my boys’ attention the whole time.. which is very rare for my boys! Ha!
