Treasure X by Moose Toys, kids get to dig! Will you find gold?

October 17, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Moose Toys does it again! These Treasure X toys are sure to be a favorite and they will be listed as one of my top 10 Stocking Stuffers for this Christmas! (That list coming soon!)

I love these types of toys, a bit messy, but so much fun! The concept is super fun and the 10 steps make it even more exciting, it’s not like they just open it and it’s done.. there’s a little bit of a process 😉

We received one when we attending the TTPM Holiday Showcase this past September. We were going to do a video review, but sometimes the boys just like to open things with out having to film.. so I figured I would blog about it instead.

X marks the spot for a hunt like no other!

Kids will love this exciting way to dig, fizz, and discover cool action figures and collectible treasures! Search for REAL gold dipped treasure and discover the remains of some treasure hunting warriors as you go.

Every Treasure X pack has 10 levels of adventure!

• Find the treasure map within and use it to find out what adventure you are going on!

• Rip away the layer of gold paper!

• Find a mysterious coin and use it on your map to decode which treasure you are about to hunt for!

• Soak the brick in water for 30 seconds, then use the X-Cavator to start digging!

• Discover bones and weapons of Treasure Hunters who have come before you inside the brick!

• Dig out all the bones and build your Treasure hunter!

• Uncover a Treasure Chest! What lies inside?

• Open the treasure chest and add water to fizz and reveal what’s inside! Will it be real gold dipped treasure?

• Display your action figure and treasure

24 Treasure Hunters to Collect

There are 24 Treasure Hunters action figures to discover from eight treasure teams. Will you find the Golden Gladiators, the Bling Bandits, the Pirate posse, the Tomb Hunters or some other buried bones who never made it out alive?

We ran warm water over it for about 30 seconds, MAKE SURE to do this, as it really helps with the digging, there is a label on the top of the Treasure X that mentions doing this.

We got an arm!!

Just digging away…

We got an ultra rare glow in the dark figure!

Look at how bright he glows! I was super surprised! We have a black light that we charged him with! LJ was shocked as well at how bright he was.

We got Lord Lootem!

Now for the treasure chest..

We got a magical potion bottle! These toys are really fun collectibles.

These retail for about $10 on Walmart, Amazon and other large retailers. If you have Amazon prime, these ship for free, you can also order these on Walmart.com as well and most offer free ship to store.

Mini Boxy Girls! 6 dolls to collect with surprise boxes!

October 14, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

I just love this line.. we received a small version with surprises a while back.. and now I have finally found them as Walmart! There are 6 to collect and each come with 3 surprise boxes.

Here they are in their boxes before we opened them! Aren’t they JUST THE CUTEST?! EEK! I Flipped out when I saw these! Walmart had them on a wire rack by the Polly Pockets so it was kinda hard to see them, unless you are looking for them.. which I just got lucky and spotted them as I was browsing the isle for the second time! (Sure glad I did too!)

You can change their clothes and shoes! I do wish they were pose-able though. I had a hard time getting them to stand up. I think they should have small holes in their ears like the larger dolls so they can wear earrings too. All in all they are super cute!

The boxes seem to contain either shoes or a purse, I personally, would like to see some accessories like lipstick or even some outfits!

I love this picture! They are so colorful and you can swap outfits and shoes. Best part.. they retail for $6! AMAZING! I am buying my Niece’s each one for Christmas!

They have them available on Amazon, but for like triple the price (eek), I can not find them on the Walmart website, so you may have to call your local Walmart to check with them as I know these are fairly new.

LOL Surprise, watch out.. there are some new girls in this toy town! heheh!

Poopsie Pooey Puitton, Poopsie Unicorn & Poopsie Slime Surprise

October 12, 2018October 12, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Oh my goodness… these are probably one of the hottest toys this year!

What is it with poop though?? I still don’t get it lol.. buy hey they are HOT and going FAST! I preordered the Pooey Puitton on Amazon a while ago and was lucky enough to run across the unicorn at Walmart. These both are super hard to find anywhere now!

The unicorn retails for around $50 (normally!!.. now they are closer to $100), the Puitton retails for around $70, you can order these on Amazon here: Poopsie Pooey Puitton Collectable, Multicolor.

The Puitton has over 35 surprises! Foam beads, containers for the slime, Scents, a 2019 Poopsie slime character to hold the slime and sooo much more. It really is a super fun kit for any slime lover 🙂

Now the Unicorn, OH EM GEE! She is ADROBS! I want them all.. but my husband probably wouldn’t be to happy about that..plus ya know.. need to have food for ourselves ha! She comes with food, so you feed her and she poops out magical unicorn poop! I have heard that they don’t work well.. I got her JUST because she is so darn cute..LOL. You can check her out on Amazon: Poopsie Slime Surprise Unicorn-Rainbow Bright Star or Oopsie Starlight.

I haven’t tried them out yet, but the smaller kits we have and are super fun, a but messy, but fun!

Check out our video review to see just how cool these are!

Pop-Oh-Ver Stove & Kitchen Sets! Awesome Portable Pretend Play Sets.

September 16, 2018October 4, 2018 Dream Team Family5 Comments

I seen patterns for these a few years back and I am so excited to see someone making and selling these!

First of all, these are on sale right now, and the play food and pans are on sale as well. Oh My Wow.. the quality of everything is out of this world.

Super easy to assemble and the play food is made out of nice materials AND the best part.. the food is squishy! They have some weight to them, which I love, it seems to make it easier for the kids to hold onto.

Each of the accessories sets come with 12 pieces. They have a few different food sets, pots and pans and a costume. Pst.. the pans are food grade too! Wow!

See! The pretend foods are soft and squishy! I just love the overall feel of them!

These pots, pans and utensils are so cute. They are stainless steel, which is just awesome in itself, and they are the perfect size for little hands.

The counter top set is so so cute! You can put pretend food in the blender and in the toaster and you can set items on the shelf towards the top.

Love the veggies! Love the soft colors too, kind of gives it an organic feel.

This set is the same! Soft and squishy!

The stove it totally my favorite. I did, however, have a little trouble getting the flat plastic piece to go into one of the sleeves, I think the size might have been off, but I did eventually get it to fit, with a little Mom power 😉

The oven and microwave both open and close with magnetic tabs and you can place the pretend food into the clear pockets.

And this! Ahh.. so sweet! It was a bit big for my almost 3 year old, but perfect for my almost 5 year old!

Love the details of the food..

Definitely my favorite play food that I have seen. Love the squishy feel and with squishes being so popular, it take it right to the playing field!

Pot and pants are super cute as well. One of the pans are plastic, the others are stainless steal. The over mitts are so cute, I just love anything smaller than normal! Ha!

One of the sets comes with a cookie sheet too! I think there are donuts, cookies and .. maybe a cheesecake? I love cheesecake, so we will call it that!

The finished set up stove/oven/microwave! The material is a heavy type of canvas I believe, with the finishes being a felt and other materials. Super durable and easy to clean.

Here is another write up:

“If you have little ones who love helping in the kitchen, the Pop-Oh-Ver Kitchen Deluxe Set ($29.95) is a must-get imagination playset,” begins one of two glowing review by The National Parenting Center for the cleverest line of indoor play this year. The National Parenting Center joins six other toy industry influencers who were overjoyed with Pop-Oh-Ver’s endless possibilities for imaginative play that’s put away… until next time. Rare is a review that instructs parents of a “must-get” toy!

The centerpieces of Pop-Oh-Ver’s appeal are the now-you-see-it/now-you-don’t Stove and Kitchen Counter Sets ($39.95). The National Parenting Center called them ingenious! This is from a nationwide parent advocacy organization that has seen and tested every possible toy on the market, for decades! Pop-Oh-Ver has already won eight additional industry awards for its great design this year.

“This 12-piece toy kitchen accessory set includes all the pots and pans your little cooks will need,” continues the rave review that won a Seal of Approval Winner Fall 2018 from The National Parenting Center, “to become fabulous pretend chefs. Most of the pieces are made of sturdy stainless steel so you can wash in the sink or stick them in the top rack of the dishwasher. The kick here is that you can use all the parts with real food. Yes, they are food grade!”

A second Seal of Approval Winner went to the Pop-Oh-Ver Stove & Kitchen Counter Set. The gushing review begins, “The Pop-Oh-Ver Stove & Kitchen Counter Sets are an ingenious idea for people who do not have space for a traditional kitchen set. The set consists of one thick canvas fabric piece that fits over a flat backed chair. It is basically a slipcover for an armless chair which allows a child to play in a kitchen setting for a time and then the whole thing can be taken off, folded up and put away. It inspires and encourages role play while keeping set up and mess to a minimum.”

Pop-Oh-Ver has also received these awards this year: Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award, Tillywig Best Creative Fun Toy Award, Mom’s Choice Gold Award, Family Review Center Gold Award, PAL Award, Hot Diggity Award, Creative Child Product of the Year Award and Academics’ Choice Brain Toy Award.

Needless to say, Aaron (from the Dream Team) loved this set!

Doorables and Snackables Num Noms Snow Cones!

September 11, 2018September 11, 2018 Dream Team Family4 Comments

The things these toy companies come up with!

We have started a toy carnival series on our channel and I just LOVE picking out all of these different toys for it! In this video we used Doorables and Num Noms Snow Cone.

Look at how cute and fun they are!

We got Elsa! Isn’t she sooo cute! Look at her eyes!!

And.. Goofy!! Ahh his face! These are definitely adorbs.. and they are flying off the shelves at every store we have been too! Hope we can get our hands on some more.

They have small blind boxes that come with two characters ( we got that one), bigger packs and even playsets!

The small pack we got was right around $4 at Walmart. I LOVE that we can get toys for under $5.

Ok, so the Num Nom Snackables Snow Cone.. SUPER messy.. but so so fun! We did this outside so the cleanup was easy! Princess Toy Review gave us some advice and mentioned when doing these inside to place a place underneath.. GREAT idea! Cleanup was a breeze! (We did a few more after the video inside because the boys loved them so much!)

Mad Mattr by Relevant Play! Fun Moldable Play Sand!

September 6, 2018October 15, 2018 Dream Team Family2 Comments

Mad Mattr! Eek! We seen this at Sweet Suite.. LOVE this stuff. My boys love it and I love it, we just can’t seem to be able to put it down!

It’s really like magic sand! Moldable, yet soft!

They have huge packs, brick makers, and even travel sized pods! We used cookie cutters and blunt knives for even more play fun (I used a sharp one, but not the boys!), we also found molds like a circle and a gummy bear.

This is something that is definitely great for sensory type play! All of my boys are hands on!

We were finished filming, but the boys just didn’t want to stop playing! I LOVE the pods though, you can throw it in a purse or backpack.

It is kinda messy, but does clean up really easily. So keep that in mind if you want to travel with it somewhere.

Ah.. the brick maker.. this was so fun and the bricks actually stack on each other! They are pretty simple to make, once we figured it out.. ha! The instructions are on the back of one of the pieces.

Looks like these vary in price, which ranges from around $10-$20. You can find these at most retailers.

Here’s a few:

Amazon – Pink Mad Mattr with Brick Maker

Michael’s – Large Purple Pack

Learning Express – Mad Mattr Pods (Relevant Play works We work with the entire company and their franchise stores)

PAWtastic Paw Patrol Pop Up Garage and Ultimate Fire Truck from Spin Master!

September 4, 2018October 14, 2018 Dream Team Family5 Comments

Paw Patrol, Paw Patrol be there on the double!

This song rings through my head a lot, especially here lately! Spin Master, YES SPIN MASTER, sent us this awesome PAWtastic set up..and AHH.. just look …!

My son was SOO excited about it! LOOK at this firetruck and LOOK at the pop up garage! The garage is soo fun, not sure how long it will last being that it’s cardboard, but so far so good!

The Ultimate Fire Truck is super huge. It comes with Marshall and a smaller vehicle that he can sit in. The fire truck has a pull out grabber, pull out hose and even a small ladder. It also has stabilizers on each side that pull out, just like a real fire truck! Makes sounds and has lights and even shoots out water balls (plastic ones) on two sides and the ladder on the very top extends out pretty far! You can fit 6 pups on this awesome truck.

We found some smaller pups at the dollar tree to use as a game in our video, so keep in mind those do not come with the fire truck.

The ultimate garage is cool, not only can Baby A fit under and in it, but the huge fire truck can be stored in there as well.

Aww.. and our Skye! ( Yes, her real name is Skye!) She was part of this video as well. She did soo good! She saved the day in our video 😉

Just the scale of this truck is amazing.

My son really does love this truck. So does my 4 and 5 year old!

The Ultimate Fire Truck retails for about $60 at Amazon and other stores. As for the pop up garage, I am not sure if this is something that’s going to be available for purchase. I sure hope so! If you are interested in knowing, comment below and I will get in touch with Spin Master to find out.

Check out more about the Ultimate Fire Truck here.

You can purchase this awesome set here.

Again, a HUGE thank you to Spin Master! We sure love pups around here 😉

My Fabulous Storyteller by Lunii!

August 25, 2018 Dream Team Family2 Comments

So I have never been the best at reading to my boys.. I did when they were younger, but now since I work from home part time, YouTube, Blog and parenting 3 crazy boys.. it’s hard to find time..

I have been on the search for something that will assist with this.. so when we seen this at Sweet Suite.. the boys AND I were hooked!

The boys stood at this booth for a super long time. They listened to a whole story! It was about 7 mins long.

Ahh.. this is my favorite photo of them from Sweet Suite, not to mention the ladies that ran this booth/run Lunii were the most sweetest and friendliest group I have met!

They seen that the boys were really intrigued and gave us one to take home! It’s super awesome! Not only does it charge, but you can pick a character, theme and object. It’s screenless and the buttons are not overwhelming to figure out, the whole feel of the storyteller is really nice. Super simple for kids to use on their own.

There are 48 stories that come downloaded on the storyteller and you can even download more on their website! We JUST downloaded the bedtime stories and THAT is what the boys have been listening to at night! They have really enjoyed it.

I honestly can’t wait for more downloads to be available!

There is also a head phone jack so you can use the Storyteller with or without head phones. This would also be great for car rides or waiting for a doctor appointment. The My Fabulous Storyteller retails on their site for around $70.00.

Check out Lunii here!

For our full review (and skit) check out our video:

The boy’s (and I) had fun filming this video. Their giggles towards the end of the skit were so perfect that I didn’t have to edit anything in! They were actually listening to the stories when I “looked inside the room”! We didn’t have to act any of that out!

Boxy Girls Minis! Unbox With New Small Boxy Girls! Fun Shipping Box Surprises

August 15, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Yay! So we won a prize from Boxy Girls!

We received the same type of box when we first reviewed them, but it was a teaser box. THIS time is was the real thing and it’s sooo cute! Not sure if it’s been released yet, but here it is:

LOOK how cute she is! Love the clothes and shoes. They are super easy to dress, so that’s great for little hands.

This one looks like Brooklyn.. but I am not too sure.

Now these boxes are a lot small than the ones that come with the larger doll. They are JUST the right size for the smaller doll. I am assuming that these will retail for less, but it’s just a guess!

The little doll came in a longer box, and the smaller boxes were in some longer boxes as well and all of those came in the square box in the above picture.. so so cute!

You can check out our other post about the larger dolls here.

You can see the size comparison here. I LOVE the larger ones, but the smaller ones are super cute as well.

Way to many toys! Wait….did I actually say that?

July 20, 2018July 20, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Yes, I just said that..way to many toys, with more to come!

I find it so hard to film with 3 small boys, even though I SO love it and so do they. I am way behind in filming and need to get my schedule back in place.

I am totally embarrassed to show this, but this is real life.. and it’s messy. Looks kinda like a junk draw but more of a throw all place!

I keep saying I’m going to get it together, but with a very small space it’s so hard! Look at all of those boxes full of toys to review. Ugh and my broken iPad I tried to fix, but just made worse to were it won’t even power on now!

Ah.. and my train table. I have SO much stuff for my Thomas channel but no were to put it, so there is all is ha! I have a huge storage cubby shelf thing my sister gave me from Ikea that I will be using… well once we buy a house! I can’t fit anything else into our room right now!

So many other things I need to sort through! I have games that were sent to us several months ago that we still haven’t played!

I did have a filming schedule each week before we left for NYC, (this worked out great btw), but gee, it takes all day just to film a few videos! I was filming every Wednesday in-between working from home. My Niece would watch Baby A, which was awesome, and then I would film for our main channel with Zieke and LJ.

Every so often my Niece would watch all three or my Mom would watch the older two so I could film for my Thomas channel. I think one day I did 7 videos in one day! It was insane, but I was trying to get all caught up before our big trip.

Oh gee, this angle is even worse.. now I definitely do not want to post this! HA!

This is why we need an extra room or a basement when we move. I dream of having a studio/filming room!

I have at least 5 companies sending me items to review, one of which I have to post by August 5th, plus a few I already have received, plus the ones from Sweet Suite, PLUS all the other ones I have had for awhile! I am more stressed now after actually typing it all out! So, I guess I need to get busy!
