My 3 year old HAD to open the super soaker as soon as we got it, he LOVES water guns and thought this was the most amazing thing he has ever seen! Haha It really works too!
LOVE these! We are definitely going to have to get more. The boys are so into these!
What a fun egg! There are still surprises, but these are for your room! Kids can use the surprises inside to redecorate their rooms!
Highlights
Packed with goodies!
Element of surprise
6 item pack
This Ryan’s World Mystery Sleepover egg is filled with many fun items including: Super Blanky & mask, pillowcase, decals, figurine and hanger plush. The mystery is inside!
We LOVED the super blanket! It fits through your arms so you can wear the blanket around. It’s so cozy and soft.
I think it’s a great price for $40! You can find this online at Target.com.
Building blocks are awesome.. but these IKOS building pieces takes building play up to a whole new level!
These pieces can be put together to make a sphere! Not only a sphere though! You can add these pieces on it or you can take the sphere apart and use the pieces to create something totally different! Let the kiddos use their imagination!
Such a great learning toy, even I enjoyed sitting around the table with my boys building and talking. We had a great time with these.
IKOS is the next-generation building toy for children. No longer does the block run supreme as today is the day of the SPHERE! Fun, stimulating, and endless construction combinations; children will play all day and start all over again tomorrow.
IKOS is a great way to deliver gifts, messages, and letters in a creative, thoughtful, and personal manner. For that next special day or moment, show that special someone how much you care by letting IKOS drop and explode to see their surprise!
IKOS is the new adult zen and party game. For any work session or event, integrating IKOS will make it more enjoyable. Let your imagination run wild on how the millions of construction combinations, colors, and contests can liven up your life.
IKOS can change the way people think by combining fun with problem solving, collaboration, and creativity. It is fun to figure out how the pieces fit together, fun to play with friends, fun to come up with new games and art, and fun to drop and watch explode.
IKOS provides fun, engaging, and stimulating building spheres to inspire creativity, problem solving, coordination, and team work. IKOS in the classroom promotes offscreen the power of spheres learning and hands on fun for all grade levels!
IKOS is a great therapy tool that uniquely builds fine motor coordination and strength, in-hand manipulation, and visual motor integration and manipulation. Furthermore, IKOS fosters and enhances problem solving skills and attention skills through patience and prolonged focused.
PERPENDICULAR CONNECTION
You can also connect IKOS perpendicularly via sliding both the A and B parts of one IKOS into the openings at the top of any other IKOS.
BUILD A SPHERE
If you can connect 20 IKOS in this manner, you will be able to create a sphere.
SPHERICAL CONNECTION
Slide the A part of one IKOS into any B part of another IKOS to make a connection.
They have a Creator Set for $20 and even a Family Set for $30! These would make a great Easter basket stuffer! Check out more about IKOS on their website.
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!
So we have reviewed quite a few toys (and more to come!). So I thought I would compile a list of what we think would make great Easter basket stuffers! I will keep adding to this list until Easter! So make sure you check back to see what we have added!
You all know how much I LOVE Poopsie products.. that sounds so funny HA!… so we had to get our hands on some of these!
There are 5 different types of slime which comes in different colors and over 25 toy surprises to collect. I was SO impressed with the slime. Poopsie products normally don’t have that great of slime haha.. we got the marshmallow slime and the crunch slime! I am IN LOVE with the marshmallow slime! The little Poopsie pods so so cute to! I couldn’t bare to cut them open, so we used the opening at the bottom! Ha!
They are just sooo colorful and cute! Really some of the cutest toys being produced.
These are about $10 each and can be found at Walmart or on Amazon.
We are heading to the New York Toy Fair this week and we got a meeting with MGA! I am super excited!! So keep an eye on this space! We will be blogging about everything we see there!
So this game is really neat. It comes with a dice that you roll then scan via your smartphone on the Trivia Dice game app and it gives you trivia questions to answer! So fun!
This would be fun to take when going out to eat to buy some time when waiting for food. It’s super simple to play, we did have a little trouble scanning the dice, but when we moved further away while scanning the dice it seemed to work just fine.
Completing homework assignments has its rewards not just in the classroom but at home thanks to Smartphone Trivia Dice ($6.99) from Continuum Games, a captivating boutique of cooperative play products. Know-it-alls can challenge mom and dad to a round of trivia or enjoy solo play. The fun is stored right in their phones.
Kids ages nine or above already have a fondness for their cellphones. Instead of texting or watching videos, have them download the Trivia App that becomes a teachable moment (or hour!). A scan-able cube resembling a die appears on the screen. Give it a virtual roll and see where it stops. Each side of the cube reveals a topic ranging from Sports and Entertainment to Science or General Knowledge. There are six trivia categories in all.
When ready for a fresh game, type in the name of each player and follow the instructions to roll and scan the cube. Answer correctly and continue through each category from Geography to Science. But if you miss an answer, you lose your turn. Bragging rights go to the first person that can answers all six categories accurately!
Smartphone Trivia Dice is a fun technology enabled trivia game that uses the scanner on your Smartphone and a unique scan-able cube. Roll the die, scan it, and answer trivia questions on your Smartphone. The side of the die determines your trivia category. Get your question right, go again. Miss it; pass the die to the next player. The first to answer one question correctly in each of the six categories wins! For ages 9+.
Continuum Games makes some really fun game! This is definitely a favorite so far!
You can purchase this game for just $6.99 on Amazon!
Orbeez are so much fun and this set makes orbeez even more fun!
Now, the containers of the pre-grown Orbeez aren’t included in this set, BUT it does come with 1,000 orbeez that you can grow yourself!
There are 30 nail decals and a nail file! How fun! This would be a blast at a birthday party! (It takes 4 AA batteries that aren’t included.)
We created a fun twist on this set and used it as a full body Orbeez spa for some Mini Boxy Girls! Haha! It was just the right size for them!
See! Haha Your kids could use other dolls as well, like the LOL Surprise dolls! I love trying to be creative with the toys we have. Let kids use their imagination! That’s what playing is all about!
Gee.. wish they would make a full sized orbeez spa for adult and kids! LOL OMG now wouldn’t THAT be a blast! Check out Maya Toys on their web site to see all of the products that they have to offer!
These retail from $15 -$25 and can be found on Walmart & Amazon.
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!
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!
