November 26, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

4D AND cooking.. what will they think of next!

This takes cooking up.. a HUGE notch! With this set kids can create 18 different recipes. Some are even gluten free I must add!

Included in this set is a HUGE 42 page cook book, LOVE the size of it, it’s easy for little hands to hold and its very vibrant and fun. It comes with the 4D googles and a slue of cooking utensils. Kids will learn the science behind foods in this fun STEM set!

Immerse yourself into Professor Maxwell’s 4D Kitchen and discover the science behind food with 18 interactive recipes that come alive in augmented reality! What’s the difference between good fat and bad fat? What is Gluten? Why do apples brown? Professor Maxwell explains the wonders of food science, while teaching you many of his favorite recipes, like making your very own pizza as you learn about the power of yeast. There’s a lesson behind every bite, so put on your apron and let’s take these yummy recipes for a spin, with step by step videos that come alive in augmented and virtual reality!

Look at all you get! For a retail price of $40, it’s awesome! Look at how brightly colored everything is, that itself is inviting and makes me want to cook! Ha! You can purchase this set on Amazon.

This was Zieke’s first time really cooking up something! My sister, Tiffany from Scratch Handcrafted Patisseries, joined us for this fun video! She is a wiz in the kitchen and knows all the ins and outs of cooking!

( Psst..Check out her page, she makes some amazing confections! She also offers Gluten free and Paleo goodies too!)

This would be such a fun set as a birthday gift or a gift for Christmas!

All the recipes are kid friendly. We made the Banana pancakes. Some of the recipes do require an adult, like when we cooked the pancakes, but all the mixing and fun can be handled by the kiddos 😉 Well.. they might need help measuring and cracking eggs open.. Zieke had no clue! I could tell he loved learning though!

It was really cool to see Professor Maxwell pop up! He explains everything then it takes you to a kitchen were you can then see kids cooking everything up while the Professor explains everything step by step.

Check out more about this awesome set on their web page.

BIG Thank you to Spice Box for sending us this fun set! I really can’t wait to try out some more of these recipes!

November 21, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Well…Fingerslings did it again!!

JUST LOOK!

We received a “frosty” fun box! They really do put so much work into these! So I can just imagine how much work goes into the actual products!

They sent “snow”.. candy, candy, more candy, shiny snow flakes, and even some ice-cycle ornaments! It was so much fun!

… and even some cool ice berg looking slime! Ekk! Baby A LOVED this slime!

Ok, so more about these awesome Untamed Fingerslings by Wowwee!

I seen the Direwolf at the TTPM Holiday Showcase and FEEL IN LOVE! Oh my! He is way to cool! I love the Sabretooth too! I didn’t even know they had these until we opened this box.

I was taming him! lol

There are two Sabre Tooths: Silvertooth & Bonesaw and two Dire Wolves: Midnight and Blizzard. They make over 40 sounds, they move, open their eyes and chomp their mouths! There is a tamed mode and an untamed mode!

For untamed mode, shake them or tap their noses. For tamed mode, pet them on the top of their heads and give them some love! There are so many interactive things to do with these, they are so much fun!

The Sabre Tooths can be found at Target for about $15, the Dire Wolf line won’t be released until the first of next year, so watch out for those!

Lil Fairy Land Cuties, 7 layers of surprises!

November 20, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

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 😉

Robo Wunderkind! A Coding & Robotic’s set for kids!

November 18, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

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.

Check out more about Robo Wunderkind on their website.

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 Toys! Figurines and an interactive plush Pikachu!

November 17, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

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 😉

Ready Setz! Pop up playsets!

November 17, 2018November 17, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Genius!

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!
