Osmo’s all new Super Studios! Disney style!

October 16, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Technology.. my kids are super addicted to technology. I mean, to be honest, aren’t we all? It has it’s good side though, especially when it comes to how much you can learn with it.

Osmo know’s exactly how to use technology for the good! They just launched a new system: Super Studios. There are three sets, Mickey Mouse, Disney Princesses and The Incredibles!

We received the Mickey Mouse set and, of course, the boys loved it! They played with it after we filmed as well as this morning! Such a cool learning tool on how to sketch/draw. It has easy step by step illustrations as well, so that is a plus for kids who are just learning how to sketch and draw. It’s bright and animated, bringing your drawing to life. The smiles on my boys faces are amazing when they see their drawings being animated.. I just love it.

The Osmo base is sold separately, but you can use the same base for each system that you buy. It retails for $29 on the Osmo site, they even have a base to use with your iPhone, that retails for $19. Each Super Studios set retails for $19, which in my opinion, is a steal!

Now I believe they are working on creating bases that work for other tablets as well, which is awesome, but for now, they offer these for only the iPhone and iPad.

You can purchase these items directly on their website: Osmo.

Want to see just how fun it is?.. I know you do! Ha! So check out our video review:

This would make a great Birthday or Christmas gift considering the price! Come on.. put that technology to good use! 😉

Slime and Splash Water Slide, not your ordinary summer water slide!

October 15, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Slime.. it’s all the rage.. but mix slime with a summer favorite.. and you have an instant party!

Bestway is known for all of their fun summer products like, floats and water slides, but they sure took it a whole new level with this Slime and Splash Water Slide!

Super easy set up. Comes with 4 kid safe packets of slime. We used two at once for more slimier experience! The slide itself is 23ft! It’s a super long slide! Ages recommended for this side is 5-12. Watch out, you will zoom down this slide super fast after being in the slime! Ha! My 2 year old played in it just fine, just have to really watch them!

They just love playing in water.. but the slime added a lot more fun!

Such a fun product for summer. It’s super easy to put away as well. Super durable too!

This retails for around $20-$30. You can find it on Amazon.

You can view our video review here:

We were only able to use this once this year.. the boys keep asking to bring it out.. even though its 50 degrees out now! ha! Well .. something to look forward to next summer!

Mini Boxy Girls! 6 dolls to collect with surprise boxes!

October 14, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

I just love this line.. we received a small version with surprises a while back.. and now I have finally found them as Walmart! There are 6 to collect and each come with 3 surprise boxes.

Here they are in their boxes before we opened them! Aren’t they JUST THE CUTEST?! EEK! I Flipped out when I saw these! Walmart had them on a wire rack by the Polly Pockets so it was kinda hard to see them, unless you are looking for them.. which I just got lucky and spotted them as I was browsing the isle for the second time! (Sure glad I did too!)

You can change their clothes and shoes! I do wish they were pose-able though. I had a hard time getting them to stand up. I think they should have small holes in their ears like the larger dolls so they can wear earrings too. All in all they are super cute!

The boxes seem to contain either shoes or a purse, I personally, would like to see some accessories like lipstick or even some outfits!

I love this picture! They are so colorful and you can swap outfits and shoes. Best part.. they retail for $6! AMAZING! I am buying my Niece’s each one for Christmas!

They have them available on Amazon, but for like triple the price (eek), I can not find them on the Walmart website, so you may have to call your local Walmart to check with them as I know these are fairly new.

LOL Surprise, watch out.. there are some new girls in this toy town! heheh!

Sgile Remote RC Wall Climber!

October 14, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

This RC car is like no other! Not only does it zoom around on the ground, it also zooms around on the WALL!

To my surprise… it actually WORKS on the wall and for a retail price of $20 you really can’t go wrong with it!

It has a suction type of feel when you switch it to “wall” mode. It like.. sticks to the wall!

It is very light and seems a bit fragile, but my boys have dropped it several times and it still works! So it’s more durable than I thought it would have been.

The controller takes 3 AAA batteries, but the RC itself charges from the USB cord that plugs into the controller. (cord is included) I think we used it for about 20-25 mins before having to charge it again.

More information:

DUAL MODE OF RC CAR: Access 2 modes with a rear switch – WALL and FLOOR mode. Designed from a vacuum principle, the super absorption feature under the remote control car allows this RC car to move on all smooth surfaces in WALL mode, including walls, ceilings, windows, mirrors and closets. And in FLOOR mode, the wall climber can move faster than all ordinary race cars.
UPDATED REMOTE CONTROLLER: This updated controller only requires 3 ‘AAA’ batteries unlikes the previous model that needed 6 ‘AA’ batteries, making it more efficient and eco-friendly. Also, its compact and light design perfectly fits into your child’s hand with easy grip.
COOL HEADLIGHTS & TAILLIGHTS: Intelligent LED lights auto switch based on how you drive. Two headlights turn on when the wall climber moves forward, and both rear lights turn on when the wall climber moves backwards. Moves left, and the left front lights come on and when the RC car moves right, the right front lights turn on.
360 ° STUNT ROTATION: One of the most fascinating feature of the stunt car is its ability to spin 360 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise when moving forward and backwards. This feature will keep your child entertained for hours. The wireless remote controller gives the user full control of the wall climber.
QUALITY GUARANTEE: The cool and stylish stunt car body is made of premium long lasting ABS plastic ensuring resistance from impact. Boys love playing with cool toys and it can keep them entertained for hours. And with exceptional service, we provide 30-day hassle free return policy.

Right now you can get this awesome RC Wall Climber for 10% off on Amazon.

October 12, 2018October 12, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Oh my goodness… these are probably one of the hottest toys this year!

What is it with poop though?? I still don’t get it lol.. buy hey they are HOT and going FAST! I preordered the Pooey Puitton on Amazon a while ago and was lucky enough to run across the unicorn at Walmart. These both are super hard to find anywhere now!

The unicorn retails for around $50 (normally!!.. now they are closer to $100), the Puitton retails for around $70, you can order these on Amazon here: Poopsie Pooey Puitton Collectable, Multicolor.

The Puitton has over 35 surprises! Foam beads, containers for the slime, Scents, a 2019 Poopsie slime character to hold the slime and sooo much more. It really is a super fun kit for any slime lover 🙂

Now the Unicorn, OH EM GEE! She is ADROBS! I want them all.. but my husband probably wouldn’t be to happy about that..plus ya know.. need to have food for ourselves ha! She comes with food, so you feed her and she poops out magical unicorn poop! I have heard that they don’t work well.. I got her JUST because she is so darn cute..LOL.

Pop-Oh-Ver Stove & Kitchen Sets! Awesome Portable Pretend Play Sets.

September 16, 2018October 4, 2018 Dream Team Family5 Comments

I seen patterns for these a few years back and I am so excited to see someone making and selling these!

First of all, these are on sale right now, and the play food and pans are on sale as well. Oh My Wow.. the quality of everything is out of this world.

Super easy to assemble and the play food is made out of nice materials AND the best part.. the food is squishy! They have some weight to them, which I love, it seems to make it easier for the kids to hold onto.

Each of the accessories sets come with 12 pieces. They have a few different food sets, pots and pans and a costume. Pst.. the pans are food grade too! Wow!

See! The pretend foods are soft and squishy! I just love the overall feel of them!

These pots, pans and utensils are so cute. They are stainless steel, which is just awesome in itself, and they are the perfect size for little hands.

The counter top set is so so cute! You can put pretend food in the blender and in the toaster and you can set items on the shelf towards the top.

Love the veggies! Love the soft colors too, kind of gives it an organic feel.

This set is the same! Soft and squishy!

The stove it totally my favorite. I did, however, have a little trouble getting the flat plastic piece to go into one of the sleeves, I think the size might have been off, but I did eventually get it to fit, with a little Mom power 😉

The oven and microwave both open and close with magnetic tabs and you can place the pretend food into the clear pockets.

And this! Ahh.. so sweet! It was a bit big for my almost 3 year old, but perfect for my almost 5 year old!

Love the details of the food..

Definitely my favorite play food that I have seen. Love the squishy feel and with squishes being so popular, it take it right to the playing field!

Pot and pants are super cute as well. One of the pans are plastic, the others are stainless steal. The over mitts are so cute, I just love anything smaller than normal! Ha!

One of the sets comes with a cookie sheet too! I think there are donuts, cookies and .. maybe a cheesecake? I love cheesecake, so we will call it that!

The finished set up stove/oven/microwave! The material is a heavy type of canvas I believe, with the finishes being a felt and other materials. Super durable and easy to clean.

Here is another write up:

“If you have little ones who love helping in the kitchen, the Pop-Oh-Ver Kitchen Deluxe Set ($29.95) is a must-get imagination playset,” begins one of two glowing review by The National Parenting Center for the cleverest line of indoor play this year. The National Parenting Center joins six other toy industry influencers who were overjoyed with Pop-Oh-Ver’s endless possibilities for imaginative play that’s put away… until next time. Rare is a review that instructs parents of a “must-get” toy!

The centerpieces of Pop-Oh-Ver’s appeal are the now-you-see-it/now-you-don’t Stove and Kitchen Counter Sets ($39.95). The National Parenting Center called them ingenious! This is from a nationwide parent advocacy organization that has seen and tested every possible toy on the market, for decades! Pop-Oh-Ver has already won eight additional industry awards for its great design this year.

“This 12-piece toy kitchen accessory set includes all the pots and pans your little cooks will need,” continues the rave review that won a Seal of Approval Winner Fall 2018 from The National Parenting Center, “to become fabulous pretend chefs. Most of the pieces are made of sturdy stainless steel so you can wash in the sink or stick them in the top rack of the dishwasher. The kick here is that you can use all the parts with real food. Yes, they are food grade!”

A second Seal of Approval Winner went to the Pop-Oh-Ver Stove & Kitchen Counter Set. The gushing review begins, “The Pop-Oh-Ver Stove & Kitchen Counter Sets are an ingenious idea for people who do not have space for a traditional kitchen set. The set consists of one thick canvas fabric piece that fits over a flat backed chair. It is basically a slipcover for an armless chair which allows a child to play in a kitchen setting for a time and then the whole thing can be taken off, folded up and put away. It inspires and encourages role play while keeping set up and mess to a minimum.”

Pop-Oh-Ver has also received these awards this year: Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award, Tillywig Best Creative Fun Toy Award, Mom’s Choice Gold Award, Family Review Center Gold Award, PAL Award, Hot Diggity Award, Creative Child Product of the Year Award and Academics’ Choice Brain Toy Award.

Not Parent Approved kids card game! Play at your own risk!

September 13, 2018October 3, 2018 Dream Team Family4 Comments

Not Parent Approved! Ha! I would DEFINITELY approve! This is a super fun card game that allows kids to choose silly answers to silly questions!

Parents now have permission to let kids behave inappropriately with the hilarious family card game Not Parent Approved. While unexpected burps and farts can be considered bad manners, they do create laughter, hence the basis of this unconventional Family Night of fun.

Who would think being naughty, on occasion, would be a good idea? Two corporate marketing moms created the card game after being exasperated by what they were witnessing in their neighborhoods. Stacy Katz and Maximina Revis discovered in their research that the average 8-to-10-year-old spends nearly eight hours a day with a variety of different media, and older children and teenagers spend more than 11 hours per day, according to a 2013 policy statement on Children, Adolescents, and the Media,” the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The 455 cards (105 questions and 350 answers) involve cultural references from Taylor Swift to wedgies. Best of all, it’s offline requiring no plugs, cords, earbuds or charging. Kids must look at each other and interact in conversation. Imagine that!

When the kids are bored or you need to wait 20 minutes for a restaurant table, open up this card game and watch their eyes light up! It’s 100% family-friendly despite the awkward name. Two mompreneurs designed the card deck to reintroduce a love of tabletop games for a screen-obsessed generation. It is certainly attention-grabbing while quick, simple play for every tween, teen and college kid in the household. 455 cards, for 4-10 players. Game play takes 6-60 minutes at each other and interact in conversation. Imagine that!

Since making a splash in the toy world, Not Parent Approved ($24.99) has won the approval of many toy judges and award accolades fromDr. Toy 100 Best Children’s Products, National Parenting Product Awards 2016 Winner, Scholastic Parent & Child Gold Star Toy and Tillywig Toy Awards’ Best Family Fun Award Winner.

Even the Wall Street Journal gave a thumbs up when reviewing the game. “Game On” columnist and neuroscientist Christopher Chabris wrote,” for players who aren’t old enough for some of the more adult humor, there is Not Parent Approved, with cards that appeal to preteen sensibilities: ‘Boys remind me of…’ might be completed with ‘unidentifiable cafeteria food.’ In any version, this kind of game will stretch your mind, and your social skills, in unusual directions.”

It’s not just hard-to-please toy industry experts and neuroscientists but amazon-buying parents who squeal at the antics of this card game! I hope you’ll be interested to give this game a whirl and write a review! This game would be perfect to suggest for finicky, impossible-to-buy for tweens and teens for holiday gifts!

Write up by Not Parent Approved

We also received the #1 & #2 Expansion Packs! Not only can kids have fun with this, but also adults as well. A great alternative to screen time and an awesome way to bond and have some much needed silly but fun family time!

Who won this game?? Watch to find out and to see how fun this game really is!

I have kids under the age of 5, we all team up on this game since the boys can’t read it and it’s still a whole lot of fun!!

Doorables and Snackables Num Noms Snow Cones!

September 11, 2018September 11, 2018 Dream Team Family4 Comments

The things these toy companies come up with!

We have started a toy carnival series on our channel and I just LOVE picking out all of these different toys for it! In this video we used Doorables and Num Noms Snow Cone.

Look at how cute and fun they are!

We got Elsa! Isn’t she sooo cute! Look at her eyes!!

And.. Goofy!! Ahh his face! These are definitely adorbs.. and they are flying off the shelves at every store we have been too! Hope we can get our hands on some more.

They have small blind boxes that come with two characters ( we got that one), bigger packs and even playsets!

The small pack we got was right around $4 at Walmart. I LOVE that we can get toys for under $5.

Ok, so the Num Nom Snackables Snow Cone.. SUPER messy.. but so so fun! We did this outside so the cleanup was easy! Princess Toy Review gave us some advice and mentioned when doing these inside to place a place underneath.. GREAT idea! Cleanup was a breeze! (We did a few more after the video inside because the boys loved them so much!)

Mad Mattr by Relevant Play! Fun Moldable Play Sand!

September 6, 2018October 15, 2018 Dream Team Family2 Comments

Mad Mattr! Eek! We seen this at Sweet Suite.. LOVE this stuff. My boys love it and I love it, we just can’t seem to be able to put it down!

It’s really like magic sand! Moldable, yet soft!

They have huge packs, brick makers, and even travel sized pods! We used cookie cutters and blunt knives for even more play fun (I used a sharp one, but not the boys!), we also found molds like a circle and a gummy bear.

This is something that is definitely great for sensory type play! All of my boys are hands on!

We were finished filming, but the boys just didn’t want to stop playing! I LOVE the pods though, you can throw it in a purse or backpack.

It is kinda messy, but does clean up really easily. So keep that in mind if you want to travel with it somewhere.

Ah.. the brick maker.. this was so fun and the bricks actually stack on each other! They are pretty simple to make, once we figured it out.. ha! The instructions are on the back of one of the pieces.

Looks like these vary in price, which ranges from around $10-$20. You can find these at most retailers.

Here’s a few:

Amazon – Pink Mad Mattr with Brick Maker

Michael’s – Large Purple Pack

Learning Express – Mad Mattr Pods (Relevant Play works We work with the entire company and their franchise stores)

PAWtastic Paw Patrol Pop Up Garage and Ultimate Fire Truck from Spin Master!

September 4, 2018October 14, 2018 Dream Team Family5 Comments

Paw Patrol, Paw Patrol be there on the double!

This song rings through my head a lot, especially here lately! Spin Master, YES SPIN MASTER, sent us this awesome PAWtastic set up..and AHH.. just look …!

My son was SOO excited about it! LOOK at this firetruck and LOOK at the pop up garage! The garage is soo fun, not sure how long it will last being that it’s cardboard, but so far so good!

The Ultimate Fire Truck is super huge. It comes with Marshall and a smaller vehicle that he can sit in. The fire truck has a pull out grabber, pull out hose and even a small ladder. It also has stabilizers on each side that pull out, just like a real fire truck! Makes sounds and has lights and even shoots out water balls (plastic ones) on two sides and the ladder on the very top extends out pretty far! You can fit 6 pups on this awesome truck.

We found some smaller pups at the dollar tree to use as a game in our video, so keep in mind those do not come with the fire truck.

The ultimate garage is cool, not only can Baby A fit under and in it, but the huge fire truck can be stored in there as well.

Aww.. and our Skye! ( Yes, her real name is Skye!) She was part of this video as well. She did soo good! She saved the day in our video 😉

Just the scale of this truck is amazing.

My son really does love this truck. So does my 4 and 5 year old!

The Ultimate Fire Truck retails for about $60 at Amazon and other stores. As for the pop up garage, I am not sure if this is something that’s going to be available for purchase. I sure hope so! If you are interested in knowing, comment below and I will get in touch with Spin Master to find out.

Check out more about the Ultimate Fire Truck here.

Again, a HUGE thank you to Spin Master! We sure love pups around here 😉
