March 13, 2019 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Boy or girl?! Find out the gender of your new pet with TLC Kritters from RedwoodVentures!

TLC Kritters need your care and love! Take home the incubator and open to reveal which baby animal you’ve received. Time for the gender reveal! Drop the included packet into water to reveal if your Kritter is a boy or a girl. The packet will include a gender reveal card and accessories for your Kritter. Use the included bottle to feed your new pet. Take off the Kritter’s diaper and dunk it in cool water to reveal a dirty diaper, noted by emojis. Clean the diaper by soaking in warm water. Collect all 8 TLC Kritters!!

Aren’t they SOO cute! We got the baby Panda and baby puppy! I was surprised at how fast the envelope resolved in the water to reveal the gender!

Each Kritter comes with surprises and either a bottle or medicine dropper. There is also a check list of how to take care of the little kritters! So adorbs!

Wouldn’t these be perfect as an Easter basket stuffer?

They are retailing for $10 and can be found at Target and Amazon.

Super Hero Temporary Tattoos By Savvi! Perfect Easter Basket Stuffer!

March 10, 2019March 10, 2019 Dream Team Family1 Comment

My boys love temporary tattoos.. but we haven’t had much luck with them. They take a while to transfer, part of it transfers and the other doesn’t, they don”t last long.. etc.

Well, we came across THESE at the Toy Fair, Savvi makes these.. and I must say I am super impressed! They take literally a second to transfer and they don’t rub off! ( You can use soap and warm water, or baby oil to clean them off).

Look at how vibrant they are too!

Even Mommy B had to try some 😉

These came in a pack of 50. There are all kinds of designs too, like MLP, Frozen, TMNT and more. These retail for around $5 and can be found on Amazon.

You could cut these all out and sprinkle them in an Easter Basket.. OR you can hide them in some plastic eggs for an Easter egg hunt! With 50 these can go a long way!

March 8, 2019 Dream Team Family1 Comment

It’s Wowwee time again!!

We first seen these at Toy Fair.. and I fell in love! I was SOO happy to be able to get some of these!

Something new has been brewing in the mad lab at WowWee, and they are excited to share it with you! This spring, they will be releasing UNTAMED Mad Lab Minis, miniature hybrid creatures born from UNTAMED DNA – here to challenge young scientists to create their very own ferocious creatures.

With Mad Lab Minis, you have the ability to unveil your DNA samples, extract them from the Geoslime, Biosand, or Terraclay, and classify your new prehistoric creature. The more you collect, the more you can mutate! Mix and match their heads and bodies to create your own unique species. Will you unleash a Raptor, T-Rex, Allosaurus, Spinosaurus, Sabretooth Tiger, Dire-wolf, Bear, Polar Bear, Gorilla, or Skeleton?

Look at how fun these look! I love that they each come in a surprise vital filled with a mystery compound that depicts the rarity of the creature! 34 to collect with over 1,000 ways to mutate the 34 creatures! Ahh.. how fun!

Wowwee sends the BEST packages! The boys wanted to dig RIGHT in!

1: Unveil

2: Classify

3: Extract

4: Mutate

This was so much fun! The boys enjoyed acting like Mad Toy Scientists! haha! We can’t wait for the game to come out! Each vial comes with a code.. save that code.. you can use it once the game launches!

Collectors guide! There are so many!

These will be coming out this Spring! These would make super fun Easter Basket stuffers! Retail price is going to be right around $4-$5 and will be available at most major retailers.

WHAT WILL YOU UNLEASH?? Haha.. sorry.. had to do that..

March 7, 2019 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

We seen these at the Toy Fair and loved them! We were lucky enough to get a few while we were there. These would make the perfect Easter basket stuffer!

They have different sets. 4 to collect, each come with 12 reusable stickers, 2 characters and 1 scene. I love how the characters are stickers that fold together and become 3D.

Here is the little scene. You can decorate, redecorate and then fold down and store away.

Captain America and .. I’m not sure.. haha Does anyone know who this other hero is??

Hawkeye and Black Widow!

Boys really enjoyed these! We need these for long road trips.. or just even in the car when we are doing school pick ups! haha!

These will be available later this year! I am not sure of the price, but would guess right around $4-5.

Now this isn’t the final product. The final product will come with collectible cards. There will also be a game you can download to play!
