Cabbage Patch Dolls & Adoptimals by Wicked Cool Toys!

Cabbage Patch Kids! I can’t believe they are celebrating 35 years! I had a few growing up! They were so popular when they first came out, people literally fought over them!

Wicked Cool Toys now has these in their line of toys. Not only do they have the dolls, but they Adoptimals (plush animals), figures, sets and more! So so cute!

IMG_0103

Aren’t they so adorbs! I love the dolls’ chubby feet! They are so up to date and stylish too. The accessories for the dolls, like the bracelet, makes it even more cute!

The adoptimals are super soft, especially the cat we received. They are the “Lot’s Of Licks” Adoptimals and come with a food item that is magnetic and sticks to their magnetic tongues so it looks like they are licking the food item. It’s so cute! The adoptimals would be perfect for a toddler. Simple but sweet!

You can purchase these on Amazon, Target and Walmart. They all range in price from $10-$40. Target has a great sale going on right now for the Holidays with free two day shipping too!

I love Wicked Cool Toys, they have such fun toys! I was super excited when they sent us these to review! Check Wicked Cool Toys out on their site to see what all they offer.

Zuru Max Build More blocks & figures!

I love Zuru.. they seriously have some of the best toys.

They now have their own line of building blocks and figures. The blocks are amazing! The figures seemed a bit flimsy so I wasn’t sure at first how they would hold up, but they are holding on strong! My boys are super rough with toys so even though they are a bit flimsy they must be made just fine the way they are!

IMG_9674.jpg

The price points are amazing too! $25 for the large container of blocks and the figures are around $15. For some reason though, I can’t find these on the Walmart website, but if you check Brickseek, it will show what’s available in your area.

IMG_9672

My boys play with these every day! It’s definitely a favorite! Love the platform bases as well. Everything is compatible with other major brands too! How awesome is that?

These are just as good as any other brand. (Actually better in my opinion!). These would make a great gift for a birthday party or for Christmas, especially at that price point!

Check out more about Zuru on their website!

BIG thank you to Zuru for all of these, these were actually on my boy’s Christmas list, so Christmas definitely came early for them!

Flip Bot by GeoSmart, a STEM magnetic & wireless RC set!

STEM, Magnetic.. & an RC! Wow! This thing is amazing!

IMG_0091

Look at how colorful it is! I love the magnetic titles that it comes with, that alone makes it so much more fun.

The instructions are simple and easy to follow as well. My 4 year old (almost 5) took it apart and then did his own design. So the age recommendation is spot on for this set. The controller is really small, but my boys had no trouble using it. It’s pretty easy to control.

Teddy Ruxbin & Grubby Plush Hug N Sing Talking Toys by Wicked Cool Toys!

Teddy Ruxbin was released in 1985 and was considered to be the first animated talking toy! Now Wicked Cool Toys has him and his friends in their line of toys! How cool is that!?

IMG_9979

We have fun and did a “Do not choose the wrong box” video on our channel, Aaron went for the small box, but eventually found the toys! Ha! That kid..

IMG_9993

Aren’t they cute! They sing and talk when you hug them! Hug them more than once for them to say or sing something different. These would be perfect for a toddlers first lovey or first plush animal. These two are so sweet! I love how both can play a full song.

A little bit about the story of Teddy Ruxbin:

In 1985, Teddy Ruxpin became an overnight sensation as parents and children embraced this lovable, animated storytelling toy with a wholesome, gentle nature. Through Teddy, children were introduced to The World of Teddy Ruxpin, a magically imaginative place filled with Teddy’s many friends and his many exciting adventures in the Land of Grundo. 

BIG Thank you to Wicked Cool Toys for sending us these awesome two plush talking toys. They are sure to be your little ones new best friends.

Scruff A Luvs by Moose Toys! Find them Scruffy, Make them Fluffy

What a cute concept! Kids get to open us this set to find a poor animal rolled up in a ball all matted and scruffy looking, then they get to wash and rinse to reveal their cute animal! THEN they get to dry their animal off and blow dry, THEN they brush them and fluff them all up! It’s so so cute. My son LOVED the whole process. Of course playing in the water was the favorite!

img_9596.jpg

This is how they come!

IMG_9605

My son was so gentle when washing, drying and brushing. Now when you wash them use a bit of soap so all of the hard residue will come off. Then rise thoroughly at least once, but two or 3 times would be better!

It was so cute to watch. We  did speed up the drying process and dried him in the dryer on a low setting for about 30 mins. After the drying cycle was finished we were able to brush him smooth!

IMG_9608

Find us Scruffy, Make us Fluffy

Rescue your poor little Scruff-a-Luv and transform them from scruffy to fluffy. Simply wash, dry, groom and reveal if you’ve adopted a dog, cat or rabbit!

Wash your Scruff-a-Luv

Give your Scruff-a-Luv a nice bath to wash out its matted fur. Wash in a sink or large bowl of lukewarm water and, once washed, rinse off in clean water at least once.

Reveal and dry your Scruff-a-Luv

What pet have you rescued? Is it a dog? A cat? A rabbit?

Once you’ve washed and revealed your Scruff-a-Luv, make them warm and dry by drying them thoroughly with a large towel, followed by drying with a hair dryer – just like in a pet salon! Make sure you use a warm setting with adult supervision.

Groom and love your Scruff-a-Luv

Treat your pet to a styling session and make them look and feel gorgeous by brushing them and adding their special hair clip. Once they’re looking fluffy and beautiful, it’s time to give them a name, put their collar on and fill in their adoption certificate!

IMG_9639

Finished! Kitty is so so cute and fluffy!

For more information check out their website!

These range in price from $10 – $30. They are available on Amazon, Target & Walmart.

They are on sale at Target right now for around $17, Amazon’s prices are all over the place. Some are $10 but you won’t get them in time for Christmas. So I’m thinking Target is your best bet, PLUS they have free shipping right now!

BIG Thank you to Moose Toys for sending us one! This was SUCH a fun process!

These unicorns! Oh my goodness! They are the cutest!

MGA Entertainment makes these AND the LOL Surprise dolls. This company definitely knows what it’s doing!

Now, I have never tried the slime making part with these unicorns. I have heard that it’s horrible though and doesn’t work.. BUT you can always make the slime like you do in the smaller Poopsie packs… so keep that in mind!

The Original Super Cool Slime & more by Kangaroo Manufacturing!

Need a super fun stocking stuffer for your kids? Look no further! Check out these slimes by Kangaroo Manufacturing! There is a slime type for everyone! There are glow in the dark slimes, Jurassic World slimes, unicorn poop slimes and more!

IMG_9758

These slimes are great, not only are they super colorful, but they are super easy to clean up! Which is VERY important when it comes to slime! I was SUPER happy with this slime, if only all slimes were like these!

I loved the unicorn poop, Aaron really seemed fascinated with the glow in the dark slime!

Now the kit, oh em gee..super easy AND it comes with storage containers for the slime. The boys and I had a great time making it. I loved the simplicity.

unnamed

Kids and teens go crazy over the tactile goo that’s not quite a solid but definitely not a liquid. Original Super Cool Slime® by parent company Kangaroo Manufacturing has expanded its collection with the hottest trends in the toy world – unicorns, emojis and (ahem) poop.

Emoji Poop Slime and Glow In The Dark Slime, $4.95 each, make terrific stocking stuffers, dreidel game or classroom Secret Santa gifts. Likewise, Unicorn Poop Slime appeals to the daintiest kids on your list. Jurassic World Slime in Indoraptor black or T. Rex Cryptogenic green guarantee a dino-good time of hands-on fun.

Each themed glop comes in an appealing container that resembles a chemistry beaker. Tilt it, pour it and let the squishing begin. Surprise each recipient on your list with a little science lesson. Tell them to enjoy their non-Newtonian fluid! Then watch them “Google” the chemistry lesson. Kids already familiar with the slow drip of ketchup or honey will recognize the same properties in gooey slime. 

If there’s a budding scientist in the house, consider The Original Super Cool Slime Lab. The boxed kit boasts 18 pieces, including measuring cups, mixing sticks and a slime activator that results in a jar of glitter slime, glow in the dark and multi-color slime. Now that’s super cool!

Each slime retails for around $6 and the kit for about $13. They can be found online (like Amazon) and at craft, party and specialty stores like TJ Max, Party City, Hobby Lobby & more.

Check out our video review above to see each slime!

Cozy Wings by Jay @ Play! Nap, wrap and flap around!

Cozy Wings! These things are so cool! They are super soft and so much fun!

We were given the Frozen and Buzz Light-year ones to review. They have slits for your arms to go into and an elastic loop that wraps around your finger. Kids will then look like they are flapping around when they move their arms!

There are other characters like Spider-man and JoJo! Also they have the classic designs as well. You can check those out on their web site.

IMG_9406

These come in just one size. They were big on Aaron, but he is only 2, almost 3. I would say they would fit more of a 5 year old. He loved wrapping up it in all the same though!

IMG_9400

He wanted me to lay down with him like he was! Ha!

IMG_9396

Haha.. I asked him to stay still for a picture and this is what he did, well.. I did need a pic of the back of it, but not necessarily of him laying on the floor haha!

It’s worked out though! You can see just how cute it is in this picture!

These retail for right around $15. I only see Target offering these characters right now.

Wouldn’t these make a great addition to a Christmas Eve box? We usually do one with Christmas PJs, snacks and a Christmas movie for the boys.. but adding this would take that up a notch!

I have three boys that are 2, 4 and 6 and they all can fit in this teepee! It’s quite spacious! (Even Mommy fit! HA!)
