Lockrobots! Connecting With Creativity!

January 23, 2019 Dream Team Family1 Comment

These guys are so simple, but yet so fun!

My son is SO into robots and monsters, she he freaked a little when we start filming!

Lockrobots® are an interlocking building toy. Its multi- functional design makes building possibilities endless. This toy allows the builder of any age to express their own imagination and creativity.

Lockrobots® are great for all ages. Because of their multi-functional design they can be used to stack, create puzzle like connections, and build 3D structures. Many have even said Lockrobots® have the features and effect of a fidget toy when playing with the basic connections.

Lockrobots® are manufactured, packaged and processed entirely in the U.S.A . They are safe for all ages, have no breakable parts, no choking hazards, and are made with non-toxic materials.

ABOUT THEM:

Hey guys, my name is Evan. Lockrobots was created and ran as a local business by my parents in the early 2000s. In 2018, My 8 year old son Rylan and I decided to give Lockrobots a new look and re-launch Lockrobots on the internet and social media. Rylan and I both love using our imagination and creating, so we thought it was the perfect time to bring Lockrobots back to the public. Lockrobots still is ran as a family business today.
We at Lockrobots believe that our brand is more than just a toy. We aspire to make Lockrobots a source and a cause for one to find inspiration in connecting with, and expressing, imagination and creativity. We believe building on imagination and creativity produce the ability to discover a world full of opportunities, adventures, and endless possibilities.

BIG Thank you to Lockrobots for sending us these! We literally play with these guys everyday and the boys are super creative with them. They even line them all up and use them like domino’s! Ha!

They have them available for purchase on their site for $20 per 20 pieces!

Floof from Play Alive! Moldable play snow!

January 7, 2019 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Well snow is fun and all.. but it does get really cold.. and I don’t like the cold much.. SO we found a great alternative! Ha! FLOOF!!

Floof is a soft and stretchy play compound and comes in all kids if different sets!

An amazing compound that feels lighter than air! Super moldable, super soft! You’ll get amazing details when you shape it with any of our tools, or make your own creations using just your hands. One thing’s for sure — once you feel it, you won’t want to put it down!

We received two sets, a Snowboard Parks & a Dino Babies! These were really fun! We really enjoyed the Dino Babies set. You mold little dinos and there is even a roller so you can make dino foot prints. The other set was cute too, comes with two snowboards that you can put your fingers into and you can then finger snowboard! Ha!

Now, to us this didn’t feel anything like snow.. but oh my goodness.. it was so much fun! It’s kinda stretchy.. Marshmellowy kinda.. It’s hard to explain. (I will add though, it is a bit messy and will stick to your clothes, so maybe have the kiddos play with this on a table. Clean up wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, sweeps up easy and you can even brush your clothes off and it pretty much falls off.)

They have all kinds of other floof sets! I am really wanting the snow ball kit! Ha! Visit their site to see all of the kits they have to offer!

These sets retail from around $15-$20. Amazon has the Dino Babies and Snowboard sets for right around $15 right now.

These are such great sensory type sets, my boys LOVE anything hands on.

Opening Christmas Presents 2018! What we got for Christmas!

December 26, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

6:30am.. yes… super early.. and it all was over within 20 mins flat! Haha!

I remember being so excited at that age and doing the exact same thing! I love seeing their faces light up when opening their presents, especially when it’s something that they have been asking for!

We didn’t over do it this year, mainly because we get so many things sent to us during the year to review, so we decided to low key it. They of course got things they asked for and then some things I know they would enjoy. The boys are into crafting and coloring and such.. so we aimed for more STEM sets this year.

My Sister made these adorbs stockings for the boys! So stinking cute!

Spiderman..

Monster.. (Aaron loves to go Monster hunting in the house ha!)..

And.. Gummibar!! Haha.. She did such a great job on them!

I love this picture..

We tried to code the gifts by the wrapping paper design! Ha.. so much easier this way to tell which gift is for which kid..

They were soooo excited! Zieke, however, was upset that it was super early and tried to talk everyone into waiting.. but it didn’t last long! They all eventually were by the presents ready to dig in!

We had a WHITE CHRISTMAS! I was soo excited about that!

We had a great day! I was surprised they didnt open up everything that they got that day! Ha! I told them that they are out of school for the next two weeks, so they may want to open up a few things each day so that they had some things to look forward to doing 😉

I keep reminding the boys what Christmas is all about and how blessed we truly are.. that It’s Jesus’ birthday, but yet we get all the gifts.. How truly amazing..

Merry Christmas!!

Hexbug robotic soccer set!

December 24, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

My boys and I love the Hexbug Bugs! You turn them on and they scatter everywhere! I remember Ryan ToysReview doing a video on those bugs! They had like a thousand! Ha! So cool to watch.. and now Hexbug’s has expanded their line to a whole lot more!

Like…. this awesome robotic soccer set!

Boys really loved it! Comes with two rc cars, 2 soccer balls and stickers so you can customized it too! The controls are small, but super easy to use. It also says that batteries are included.. but ours didn’t come with any.. The cars take 3 AAA batteries each and the remotes take two small circle batteries per controller.

The HEXBUG Robotic Soccer Arena features a realistic fold-out game board, two authentic goal posts, as well as snap-together walls to help in keeping your game contained. 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.

Includes 2 remote controlled Robotic Soccer Singles
Includes 6 different interchangeable tops
Includes 3 sticker sheets
Includes 2 soccer balls
Fold-out game board
Ages 8 years and up

Check out more about this set on their website.

You can get this set for about $70 on Amazon.

We plan to take this over to our family Christmas party for some fun game time! I’m super excited to see what others think of it! So glad Hexbug sent this to us to review! I hope we get to review some more products come next year!

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.

– Having a Smashing good time, Mommy B
