Cry Babies! Baby dolls that cry real tears!

November 2, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Every girl loves baby dolls, right?! Actually, my boys love baby dolls!

I have heard that when kids play will baby dolls, it helps them develop the nurturing factor which will help them in the future if/when they become a parent. I love seeing my boys rock and talk to a baby doll.

With these dolls, kids can learn to love and take care of a baby. The idea is really genius! Maybe they should take it up a notch and have the baby cry until you can figure it out what it needs, like a bottle or a diaper change..! Ha!

We were sent Bonnie! She is so cute with her big eyes, tiny hands and feet and her bear outfit! You can slip her hood off to expose the cap. Unscrew and add water, trying not to fill it all the way to the top. Use bottled or distilled water, they way the inside of the doll won’t get all yucky. Then screw the cap back on and turn the switch to the “on” position, ( ( located on her back side, underneath her outfit). Make sure to keep her pacifier in her mouth or she will start crying tears right after you turn her on.

She will then giggle and coo with her pacifier in, take it out and the tears start a flowing! She has audible cries too! Soo sweet and sad! lol

Isn’t she sooo cute? They definitely have a sweet look to them.

Check out our full video review from our other toy channel and even a DIY seat (well not really a DIY, just a little paint added on ha!) made from the box that Bonnie came in:

More information:

Bonnie really cries when you remove her pacifier
She will shout and cry until you replace her packing or rock her to calm her down
Each doll comes with an attached pacifier and a removable animal print onesie
Just add water for real tears!

You can find Bonnie on Amazon for right around $30, check out Bonnie here. There are also other ones available as well, check those other dolls out here. The price is really reasonable in my opinion.

I LOVE the animal outfits that they wear, makes them even more cute! These will definitely be a hot toy for Christmas!

My boys love art stuff and this Magic pad is really cool!

LJ was excited about this, he LOVES to color..

So how awesome is this?? It hold the markers, has a stand that can be set at different angles AND it has suction cups! It requires 3 “AAA” batteries.

See! Easy!

See? Super bright!

This set is really affordable. Right around $20 and can be found at Walmart and other retailers.

We might just have to buy a few more sets for our family vacations! BIG thank you to Ontel for sending us one to try out!

TerraSect by Alpha Toys, A whole new RC experience! One of Walmart’s Top Holiday Toys of 2018.

October 27, 2018October 27, 2018 Dream Team Family3 Comments

RC cars, a classic toy.. am I right?

Well… this TerraSect is way more than just an RC! Alpha Toys (The Alpha Group US) has created an insect like RC that can jump, tumble, room and zoom! Super easy to use, but wow.. can this thing do so much!

It is also featured as one of Walmart’s Top Holiday Toys of 2018! This TerraSect is also featured on a lot of other holiday guides!

We spent over an hour playing with the TerraSect. The boys thought it was so so awesome, they wanted to keep touching it.. ha.. boys! It literally rolls and jumps! It’s for both indoor and outdoor play. We really wanted to take it for a spin outside, but with the fall conditions (more like winter conditions but with rain ha!) we had to keep all of the fun inside.

My hubby helped me with the video for our youtube channel, and so glad he did! He has had many RC’s growing up and had so many ideas as to how to play with the TerraSect.

My hubby’s idea.. put it on his arm ha!

Look at the TerraSect’s eyes! Ahh.. so cool! It’s super sturdy too! Like heavy duty! No lie!

TerraSect from Alpha Toys is available at Walmart, Target, Amazon and other retailers were cool toys are sold! TerraSect retails for around $25 – $35 buckaroos! GREAT price?? I was so shocked when I seen how affordable it was. This is definitely going to be on our holiday guide!

I heard that Target is offering free holiday shipping with a NO minimum purchase amount! So it you don’t have Amazon Prime, that is something to definitely check out.

Wild transformation: from vehicle to ball, back to vehicle again with easy to use trigger button
Indoor/outdoor use
2.4 GHz control
Drives as vehicle mode super-fast!
Relentless rolling attack: TerraSect can flip itself back over and keep on going!
Light up eyes
TerraSect runs on 4xAA batteries and 3xAAA for controller (not included)

Want to see the TerraSect in action?? Yes.. I know you do! So here is our video review:

Just imagine what you can do with it outside!

That will be a whole other video that we will need to do once the sun decides to shine again!

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!

Reindeer In Here, A Christmas friend from Santa!

October 9, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Christmas traditions.. I love them! I love making new ones as well, especially when it comes to making them with my family.

This is an alternative to the Elf On A Shelf (which personally, we have never done). The stress of having to change the location of the elf is no more! Ha!

With Reindeer In Here, Santa brings a reindeer to every child on the first day of December. He sends them a friend so that he can find out the wishes of each child and of course to see if they have been good. Oh and your child gets to name their reindeer, how fun is that?!

On Christmas Eve, Santa will bring all the children Christmas gifts in exchange for their reindeer friend, until next December of course, when their Reindeer Christmas friend comes back!

Your child will adore this soft plush reindeer and will enjoy all of the adventures they will have all through December! Reindeer In Here also received The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval!

Here is some information about the Author:

Diggin Dino Bones puzzle game for kids by Continuum Games!

October 6, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

I just love games, they bring families closer with no screen time involved. So when I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing this game, I couldn’t pass it up.. and to top it off.. this game is super simply, which is a must for kids games!

Love how cute and friendly the dinosaurs look! The box itself is super compelling!

You can play this game with 2, 3 or 4 players! Start by laying out all of the pieces on the board. The youngest player goes first. Pick a piece from the pile, if you get a dino piece, keep it and keep trying to get those pieces to build your whole dino (on your next turn)!

There are also other cards you might get, like another dino (the back ground will be in a different color). If you get these turn these over so no one can see! Another player is aloud to skip “digging for dinos” and instead can choose to try their luck at someone else’s turned over cards! First one to piece their entire dino together, wins!

There are so many learning aspects in this game like, learning colors, learning dinosaur names, learning how to solve and piece something together, as well as learning how to take turns!

This game is for ages 4+ and would make a great Christmas gift! You can purchase this awesome game here:
