Also included are two individual remote controlled HEXBUG Robotic Soccer Singles with assorted decals, so you can customize your player! Shoot, score, and the crowd goes wild! All the fun of soccer is now miniaturized, and in your hands!

You’re about to enter an epic soccer venue, with a twist! You control the robotic athletes! Modeled after a real-life soccer stadium comes the HEXBUG Robotic Soccer Arena.

New Gross Series 2 Smashers by Zuru!

December 22, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Smashers! These things are so cool and the concept is so creative!

Series 2 is an all new gross series with.. yep you guessed it.. poop! Not sure if I understand the craze of all of this poop.. but for the most part, it doesn’t bother me.

What I really like is the bus, you can put them all the Smasher figures on top of the bus and it it as well. This of course is the main attraction when it comes to Smashers, at least with my boys! The bus even opens up so you can use a little spring loaded plunger to launch the smasher figures into a toilet… bahaha… oh gee.. It is actually fun to do! lol

Once you smash the Smashers open, you can rebuild the ball and smash again! Now that’s pretty cool. I love how you can reuse and play again. No plastic waste! Also teaches kids how to put something back together. Yes! Use those fine motor skills! Ha!

Boys were super excited about these! They kept asking to film them, so we finally got a chance too.. when Aaron was at my Mom’s! Ha!

There are even some special smashers that come in a bag that have….drub roll… slime! Bahah! Gee.. slime and poop… just not sure if I get it.. but hey.. I can make it work! Ha! #BoyMom

Love the eye ball Smashers!

We came up with different fun ways to smash them open. In the picture above we tried to bazooka them through some tubes! It was Ziekes idea.. it sorta worked….we tweaked his idea a bit and then it worked much better 😉

Zuru sent us an extra bus and an extra pack of Smashers so we are doing a giveaway! Check it out HERE!

Zuru has so many fun products! Definitely check them out on their website!

You can still get these in store at Walmart, if you do order on Amazon though, you won’t receive them until after Christmas. They range in price from $5-$30.

Clicformers Speed Wheel Set! Fun building set for kids!

December 21, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

So simple but yet really cool!

For age 4+ this is sure to be a favorite among kids! Love how simple they are to click together. PLUS this is a 10 in 1 set! You can build 10 different types of vehicles with the 34 pieces that are included. No batteries, not tools needed!

I was actually surprised as how simple this is to put together. It does come with two little prying tools for separating the pieces which can be really handy for kids, I didn’t really use it much, but definitely beneficial for kids.

In our video review we had the Grinch steal our toy 😉 He luckily came around and we all built it together as a team! Ha! Gee.. I’m so crazy lol

My 2, almost 3 year old, helped me out with this. He did have a little trouble snapping the pieces together, so the 4+ age recommendation is spot on.

Check out more about Clicfomers on their website.

You can purchase this set for right around $25 on Amazon.

Aaron was all over the place trying to play with this set!

He was doing his best to make his own design! ha!

I love how chunky the pieces are! Perfect for small hands.

Check out our video for a full review!

So glad we were sent this set! I would really like to get the boys a few more!

Cabbage Patch Dolls & Adoptimals by Wicked Cool Toys!

December 19, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

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!

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!

December 18, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

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!

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.

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!

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

December 14, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

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!?

Earlier this year, The Jim Henson Company announced that they will be releasing an all new animated Teddy Ruxbin TV series! Can’t wait to see it… and watch out! These toys are sure to see an up-sweep in sales! So get them now!

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..

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

December 12, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

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!

This is how they come!

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!

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!

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!

A well groomed, Mommy B

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!

I honestly think for the $50 though that these are worth it. They are a really good size and come with a lot extras. The small poopsie packs make just one slime, these make 4 PLUS you get the super incredible magical looking unicorn doll ha!

We got…

… Dazzle Darling! She is the blue one.. isn’t she sooo cute??!! The one next to her is from the first wave. We have three now… only one more needed to complete the collection!

HINT: I learned a hack from PB & J, you can push down on the top of the container they come in and should be able to see some of the hair! We did this with all three and knew which ones we were getting! I know, I know what you are thinking… but I didn’t want to get a duplicate! lol

We have one more to open.. and we are pretty sure it’s Whoopsie Doodle!

Make magical unicorn poop (slime) with Poopsie Slime Surprise! With a little unicorn magic and sparkle, you can customize unicorn poop and transform it multiple times! When you gotta go, store the poop for magical fun anytime! Poopsie Surprise Unicorn magically poop slime! Each time you feed your surprise unicorn and sit her on her glitter potty, she creates surprise, collectible unicorn poop (slime)! Transform your unicorn poop over and over again with Unicorn Magic! Over 20 magic surprises included with each Surprise Unicorns! Four unicorns to collect! Will you unroll Dazzle Darling or Whoopsie Doodle?
Poopsie Surprise Unicorn includes one Surprise Unicorn (Dazzle Darling or Whoopsie Doodle)

One glitter potty.
Four Unicorn Food packets (slime powder), four Unicorn Magic packets, one Unicorn Sparkle packet.
One exclusive bottle and one exclusive poop character keychain.
One unicorn shirt & diaper, spoon, hair brush, cleaning tool, and measuring cup. Poopsie Slime Surprise! Surprise Unicorn & Mystery Pack COMBO #1 [Dazzle Darling OR Whoopsie Doodle]

Our Walmart is stocked to the gills with these and our Walmart is horrible with getting new toys in, so check your local Walmart. You can go to BrickSeek to see which locations around you have them. If you don’t know the SKU number, I mean .. come on.. who actually does lol, you can click on the SKU finder to look up the item.

Amazon has them right now! Wave 1 and Wave 2!
