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!
STEM, Magnetic.. & an RC! Wow! This thing is amazing!
It’s super colorful and so much fun to make… PLUS there are multiple ways to put this together!
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 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.
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!
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!
I did an ” Alexa chooses our toy to unbox” video on one of our channels. I love being able to incorporate what is trending ha! We try to do that with all of our video reviews.
Alexa did pick 1.. well sorta.. you will have to watch the video!
There are two that you can get in the Wave 2: Dazzle Darling OR Whoopsie Doodle
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!

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.
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.
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!
He wanted me to lay down with him like he was! Ha!
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!
Wreck It Ralph is at it again with an all new movie: Ralph Breaks The Internet!
Of course there is a whole new line of toys for this movie and we were lucky enough to get some series 2 power pacs!
Each character comes with a stand for displaying as well a code that you can download so you can play with your character in the actual Pac-man game! How cool is that?
Once downloaded, open the game, it will then take you to all of the characters. Click on the character you have and enter the code. Then start playing! That simple!
These are awesome collectibles! You can snag these on Amazon and Walmart! Retail prices ranges from $5 – $20, depending on which ones you get, they have single packs, 2 pack sand more! These would make an awesome stocking stuffer!
I could NOT wait to open these up! OH MY GOODNESS! Cute doesn’t even come close when trying to express how I feel about them! Ha!
Halftoys is a toy company that has launched some dinosaur toys, but these aren’t JUST toys.. they open up to reveal a skeleton.. but not JUST a skeleton, a puzzle skeleton!! How cool is that? It’s super simple, but just what young kids need to kick start learning and playing! These are also magnetic and click when you close them.
They sent us three to review, there are 6 all together. They have future plans for more and not just dinosaurs! Land animals, sea animals and more! I can’t wait to see what they come out with next! The packaging is soo cute!
They each come with a manual and a paper diorama! So when they aren’t in the midst of playing they can be displaying! Ha!
The dioramas are a bit hard to put together, I did them myself and had a little trouble at first, but by the third one, I had it down pat! The trees don’t really stand up well, but it’s just so darn cute and you could really tape everything in place too so it stays together!
Even though the dioramas were a but hard, they were really addicting to make! They stayed in place too for the most part!
I got the trees to stand up! Ha! Aren’t they soo cute! Love how bright and colorful the dinos are. I love how they simplified the design.
This is Ankylo…
..T-Rex..
..and Stego!
Aaron LOVED them! Such a great fidget toy for kids too.. and adults! Ha!

It comes with some flavored powder and you add a few little spoon fulls into some milk, turn on the machine, put the pitcher in and pull down the lever! Whip for 30 seconds and Val-ah! FUN DRINKS FOR KIDS! We did this cold, but you could warm up the milk a bit for a warmer drink experience, adults will have to help with this though 😉 It does froth better cold..
The stencil art is fun too! You have two flavors of powder to choose from to use with the stencil. There are also refill packs, oh and the set comes with recipe cards! So stinking cute! This would TOTALLY be fun during this month, Christmas movies and fun drinks!

The set isn’t just one set! It’s one that can be made into different things! Create this guitar, then move onto something more! Add more bits or add another kit! Invent a whole new something!
Creative kids build and customize a rockin’ synth guitar using littleBits electronic building blocks, then transform it into new electronic instruments of their own!
Learn while you play. Kids are born playing, and we want to help them extend that to a lifetime of hands-on exploration, curiosity, and imagination. littleBits puts invention at the heart of learning through play. We want kids to walk away from playtime having discovered something they didn’t know before.
Play while you learn. Rather than memorizing worksheets and science formulas, we need to make learning more fun, engaging, and relevant to today’s kids. The world is changing dramatically around us, but the way we teach our kids is generally the same. littleBits helps kids learn by doing, by trial and error, and not just by textbooks.
Look at all of the “bits”! The guitar frame pieces aren’t shown, but are made of some sturdy stuff! Once built, this guitar really holds up well! I was super surprised!
No glue or mess! The pieces fold, bend and the tabs stay right in place. The “bits” are also magnetic, so they just click in together! Soooo sooo cool! I am so in love with these!
They have smaller sets too, like a night light and a bubble blower, they can also be made into something else, 2 inventions in one kit! I’m going to get my boys those sets for Christmas since they are a bit younger.
I LOVE how you can create one thing, then create something else, THEN add even more “bits” or kits to create your own invention! It gets even cooler.. You can submit your invention on the Little Bit’s Invent App! HOW COOL IS THAT!!! I would have literally FREAKED out for these if they were around when I was a kid!
For more info about Little Bits and ALL of the kits they have to offer visit their site.
You can also find this and other sets on Amazon. This set normally retails for $100, but it is on SALE FOR $70! Better grab it now! Sale ends soon! Their other sets are on sale as well like the Avengers kit, retails for $150 on sale for $100!
This would be perfect for any kid really! Keeping in the mind the 8+. I just love STEM (STEAM) kits!
