We received a “frosty” fun box! They really do put so much work into these! So I can just imagine how much work goes into the actual products!
They sent “snow”.. candy, candy, more candy, shiny snow flakes, and even some ice-cycle ornaments! It was so much fun!
… and even some cool ice berg looking slime! Ekk! Baby A LOVED this slime!
Ok, so more about these awesome Untamed Fingerslings by Wowwee!
I seen the Direwolf at the TTPM Holiday Showcase and FEEL IN LOVE! Oh my! He is way to cool! I love the Sabretooth too! I didn’t even know they had these until we opened this box.
I was taming him! lol
There are two Sabre Tooths: Silvertooth & Bonesaw and two Dire Wolves: Midnight and Blizzard. They make over 40 sounds, they move, open their eyes and chomp their mouths! There is a tamed mode and an untamed mode!
For untamed mode, shake them or tap their noses. For tamed mode, pet them on the top of their heads and give them some love! There are so many interactive things to do with these, they are so much fun!
The Sabre Tooths can be found at Target for about $15, the Dire Wolf line won’t be released until the first of next year, so watch out for those!
STEM Toys! These are becoming more and more popular and I for one, am super excited to see more and more of them! As a child plays with STEM sets, they are playing as well as learning. My boys love to learn, they are like little sponges, soaking up everything that they can… Good.. or bad..! Ha!
When asked to review this, I was beyond excited!
We were sent the Education Robotics Set.
Description:
Ready for some more? Education Kit is the perfect addition to any kids – or classroom. With the added distance sensor, the builds become more functional and versatile, allowing the young explorers to easily grasp complex coding concepts like triggers, routines and conditionals. Build with your hands, apply your imagination to create Robo’s next task and use your brain muscle to make it work. Robo Wunderkind is the perfect combo of STEAM and fun, created by educators, engineers and designers for the endless hours of engaging play.
There are projects that you can create that are listed in the apps guide or you can create something on your own! Oh course my son wanted to wing it and figure it all out on his own! He created a robot and named it LJ, after his brother! Ha! It was really sweet.
Each piece has its own function and the start up booklet explains what each piece does. There is so much to this! As the child gets to use this more and more the more they will experiment more and more with the pieces.
There are two apps that you can use with the Robo Wunderkind sets. This one is the Robo Code app. You can find and download these apps from Google Play or the App Store.
This app let’s you code your creation. You can code really simple things or advance! Like I said, as your child gets familiar with it, the more they will learn and experiment! We started out really simple!
You can do all kinds of things here, sounds, movement, speed.. so much! We are STILL learning new things!
The Robo Code app opens the world of programming for kids. With its child-friendly design and intuitive coding process, this app guides children in learning 21st-century skills in a fun and easy way. Together with Robo Wunderkind robotics kits, it makes coding and robotics child’s play. Designed for iOS, Android, and Windows. Requires a device with Bluetooth 4.0.
Ok, so this is the Robo Live app. SO SO cool! I would recommend starting out with this before the Robo Code app. This is super simple to use and your child can get familiar with all of the controls and how everything works.
You can reposition the controls, add or remove controls, add sounds, record, name and more!
The Robo Live App allows you to set up a remote control interface to control your robot in real time. Play with your robotic friends by using drag and drop functions on the app’s dashboard, and control your robots’ actions, such as driving, turning, making sounds, blinking, and other. Designed for iOS, Android, and Windows. Requires a device with Bluetooth 4.0.
They have new building blocks coming out soon! Like a camera and an IR Blaster and Receiver! They also offer a start kit and an upgrade kit.
The Education Robotics set retails for $249… I know this may sound like a hefty price, but it is worth every penny! I am very honest when it comes to price when I review products. This set is true to the labeling of “Robotics”. I can honestly say I haven’t seen a set quite like this. It’s so advanced, yet something kids can use, play and learn with!
This is what is included in this set:
8 Blocks:
Main Block
Distance Sensor
2x DC Motors
Servo Motor
RGB Light
Button
Connector Block
Other parts:
3x Wheels
6x Connectors
Wired Connector
4x Lego™ adapters
Charging cable
The set even has a tool that you use to take off the connectors, which is soooo cool! It’s so easy and simple!.
It also had LEGO adapters so kids can build something with LEGOs on these adapters and then can connect it to their creation! I mean.. come one..how cool is that?? It’s really like it never ends.. there is so much to this and I know I am probably going to miss mentioning something!
You can purchase these sets directly from their website or the Robotics & Starter sets can be found on Amazon as well.
Recommended age is 6+ which is spot on in my opinion. My oldest son just turned 6 and he had no problem playing and understanding this set.
Pokemon! This has been around for what seems like forever! My boys are just now getting to the age of being “into” something.. and they just love these toys!
Wicked Cool Toys sent us a HUGE box of some Pokemon toys, even the new plush Pikachu! He is so so cute! I love the voice of Pikachu! Pika Pika!
Have you heard about the new Pokemon Detective Pikachu movie coming out? There are mixed feelings about this movie, but I am super excited for it!
I bet these toys are going to be even hotter now! (Wicked Cool Toys will be launching all new toys for the the new movie in April 2019!!)
LOVE the poke ball with the soft Pokemon inside! You throw it and Litton comes flying out! You can become a real Pokemon Master!! There are others to collect as well.
There are the typical figurine ones and even ones that are articulated! There is an Ash figurine that comes with Pikachu and you place Pikachu on Ash’s arm and then you can fling him off! It’s so cool!
LJ loved opening all of these and finding out what Pokemon is all about.
We have a very nice collection started! Love these toys!
Price ranges for each but can be found at most retailers like Walmart & Amazon.
Check out our video review above! We always have fun with our videos 😉 We may just have to do one like the real movie.. Detective Pikachu 😉
That’s what I think when I see these! Not only are they portable and set up takes like 3 seconds, but these are made from …drum roll… 40% post-consumer material and are fully recyclable! How awesome is that!
I received the smaller sized Space Base.. Such a great size, especially for younger kids, I can only imagine what the larger one is like!
The doors actually open, there are velcro tabs which allow for a sturdier set up, PLUS there are different layouts and a ramp that you can attach.
Kids can definitely exercise their imagination skills with these! You can use any type of figurines. These also make a great back drop for toy photography.
The details on these are amazing.
I loved Star Wars growing up.. and would have LOVED this, my sister and I played with Star Wars figures for years! So don’t rule this out as just a toy aimed for boys, girls will LOVE this too!
I used my Mini Boxy Girls in our video review for this, they fit perfectly!
So this smaller size is perfect for smaller figurines, the ones I used are about 4 inches tall. You can even use cars or any other small toys really!
I totally want to get my hands on a larger set!
Maybe for Christmas 😉
SPACE BASE 18
Blast off with the Space Base! This is the smaller version of the Space Base , but includes all the same great features such as the all-new “convertible” layout, upper control deck, catwalk, oversized landing pad, medical bay, and more! Playset has a 1:18 scale and is great for 3.75″ action figures, toys, and cars!
This particular set retails for $65. Check out Ready Setz for more information and to see the other awesome sets that they have. I LOVE their website, so colorful and interactive.
This would make a PERFECT gift for any child! Actually… PERFECT for grandparents to keep at their house even, so when the grandkids are over the can pop it up and then it fold down and store away for when they are gone.
Check out the video above for a full review and to see just how easy it is to take down and put up!
Emoji’s! Just about anyone with a phone uses them.. and now Blue Whale has taken the Emojis idea and made them into a toy… Mojimotos!
So simple, yet so entertaining! Turn the switch to on, hold down the button on the top, wait for the beep, talk and then they repeat! So so fun! Try singing too… they will sing back! Their eyes and mouth moves too which makes it even more entertaining and funny!
We got the puppy! Which we LOVE because we have a dog, so we definitely love getting anything dog/puppy related!
Look at how cute they are! There are several to collect! They have an ice cream cone, unicorn, taco and more.
My son loves back pack clips, so this is going to make a great addition! He is usually entertaining his classmates in the school pick up line with his other back pack clips. So I am sure there will be kids wanting these around our neighborhood after seeing it!
Check out all the different ones they have on their website.
These retail for around $10 and can be found at Walmart and online on Amazon.
These would be perfect as stocking stuffers or for a gift exchange!
I really want the ice cream and unicorn! I may just have to get them!
YES! Finally some squishes aimed at boys! Don’t get me wrong, girls love these too, I mean.. I do!
The things these companies come up with, its amazing!
They come in these awesome slime disappearing containers. Inside is a way to cool squishy and then a teenie tiny squishy as well! There are two chains so you can use these fun squishes as key chains or on a back pack. There is also a fun cross word puzzle included too and you use this little colored coder piece to see what the letters are! How fun is that? They creatures have super fun names too! There are 6 to collect in this series.
Description:
Tilt the capsule and watch the ooze disappear! Soft, nacho cheese scented, slow-rising foam. Use secret decoder to discover and play the bonus word game. These elusive creatures have escaped from the secret lab on the outskirts of Smooshyville! Each capsule comes with a mystery nacho cheese-scented, slow-rising squishy Creature and Buddy, sticker, secret decoder, and collector’s poster with bonus word search
These would make great stocking stuffers! They retail for around $10 and can be found at Walmart.
What do you all think of these? I think they are so much fun!
We LOVE Mad Mattr.. and now they have launched a blind box type of series!
They are called Meteor Monsters. They consist of a little (super super cute) bag of Mad Mattr and a stretchy monster. They both are in blind bags so that makes it even more fun! A mystery color and a mystery monster!
Once you have the mad mattr and monster out of the bags, you then place half of the mad mattr in the bottom of the small rock container and smash it around to thin it out. Fold the monsters legs inward so hes all tucked in, then place the monster in the container with the smashed out Mad Mattr, then use the remaining Mad Mattr to cover the monster. Smash it all down then flip the container over onto a table or flat surface.. lift off the rock container and the monster will start popping out! It’s so cool!
Each monster has a name and an attitude to match. Look at the bag that the monsters come in! It’s soo cute!
These are so fun. Mad Mattr is definitely a favorite around our house and these make it even more of a favorite now. Love the rock containers!
They would make GREAT stocking stuffers! Amazon has them for around $11, I seen a few on Ebay, but for an out outrageous price, hopefully these will be hitting the shelves at other retailers here soon. I will update this page when they do!
We had so much fun with our video review!
BIG thank you to Relevant Play for sending us these! Check out more about them on their web page!
These guys are so cute! Have you seen the show? So fun, love that each have a different bright color and attitude to match!
These are SOO huge! Just look at them!
We got Pogo, the blue one, and Fuse, the red one! Love those names! They totally match their personality.
When two meet… they interact with each other! How FUN! They each make their own iconic sounds as well. Throw them, huge them, squeeze them and they make all kinds of noises!
Baby A really loved wrestling with them, he would hardly let me play with them! Ha! They really are super soft. Once the other two boys got home from school they all were laying all over them and just chillin! Ha! (This was after they fought over them and wrestled once more! Boys!)
Oddbods have a super fun website and a YouTube channel, plus all kids of other toys! Check out Oddbods’ website!
These are super hard to find right now! Amazon has some but for an outrageous price! I see Pogo and Bubbles right now available on Target for $40 plus free shipping! GO.. RUN… GET THEM!
We had so much fun doing this video! BIG thanks to Oddbods for sending us these guys! I foresee many other videos with them! We just now need to get our hands on a few more!
My boys love art stuff and this Magic pad is really cool!
Kit includes 30 stencils, 3 dual sided neon pens, glow boost card, cleaning cloth and it has a built in stand. Press the color changing button and choose from 8 different light effects. It’s great for travel or at home. Let the kids create a customized night light!
I was surprised to see that it glows just as bright as in the picture!
LJ was excited about this, he LOVES to color..
So how awesome is this?? It hold the markers, has a stand that can be set at different angles AND it has suction cups! It requires 3 “AAA” batteries.
See! Easy!
See? Super bright!
This set is really affordable. Right around $20 and can be found at Walmart and other retailers.
We might just have to buy a few more sets for our family vacations! BIG thank you to Ontel for sending us one to try out!
We first seen the Fingerlings Dinosaurs at Sweet Suite, then again at the TTPM Holiday Showcase.. well they now have not only dinos, but a crate playset were two dinos can sit in and you flip a lever and the dinos break out.. AND they have Skeleton ones! They call these boneheads! Soo cool, and they glow in the dark, super bright too!
They ALWAYS send awesome packages, one of my favorites to receive.
In this spooky box it had a black light flashlight, awesome that it did because it charged up the dinos so they glowed really bright in the dark! They are sent an FX sound affects machine.. so so cool.. as well as a little wooden coffin with candy bones!
The breakout set retails for around $25 at Walmart or on Amazon. The boneheads can also be found at Walmart or Amazon for about $15. Now the playset comes with a dinosaur, so for the price of $25, it’s a great deal. Definitely cheaper at Walmart right now.
Amazon also offers the breakout set with two dinos for $40. You can find that here.
UNTAMED Skeleton Dinos AKA Boneheads: Meet Doom and Gloom, fierce and unpredictable zombie skeletons who know friends vs. foes. In Untamed mode, they rattle, roar, hiss, and chomp! In Tamed mode, the nuzzle and purr in their jingle-jangle skeletal way. Players beware, they glow in the dark – so there’s nowhere to hide!
Jailbreak Playset featuring Infrared T-Rex: What happens when the UNTAMED get a little too… ferocious? You give them a time-out in the UNTAMED Jailbreak Playset! This cage comes with Infrared, an exclusive T-Rex with eyes that glow and a fierce desire to escape. Pull the lever if you dare!
Check out our fun video skit we did:
These are definitely some fun toys for any dinosaur fan!
