Zuru 5 Surprise Mini Brands! Mini Pretend Play Foods!

I love Zuru, like I have mentioned before.. they are one of my favorite companies!

They first launched their 5 surprises last year, then series 2 came out.. and now they are expanding the line to all sorts of different things! Some of which I can’t mention right now.. BUT THESE Mini Brands are so so cute! They are little miniature play food items that looks JUST like the real thing. You can even get a shopping cart, shelf or shopping basket!

These would be perfect for Barbies, LOL Dolls, Bozy Girls… any kind of dolls really!

Oosh Cotton Candy Cuties by Zuru! Scented fluffy slime!

Zuru! I love everything they make. Definitely one of my favorite toy companies!

They now have launched a line of fluffy slime with squishes inside! Oh my goodness, this fluffy slime is my favorite! I almost didn’t share it with my boys! Ha!

img_1110

This one was lemon scented.. smelled so good! I just love the texture of this fully slime. The little squishes are soo cute too, probably some of the cutest I have seen. Love their eyes! ha!

Now the fluffy slime is a little messy, but not as bad as I thought! I was able to play around with it without having to clean my hands afterwards, so that was pretty darn awesome!

There are two sizes. The smaller ones run about $5 and the larger ones $10. You can find these at Walmart and on Amazon.

New Gross Series 2 Smashers by Zuru!

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!

IMG_0029

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

IMG_0031

Love the eye ball Smashers!

IMG_0059

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

 

 

 

Stocking stuffer ideas from Zuru! 5 Surprise, Tangles & Smashers!

Need some stocking stuffer ideas?! Check these out!

5 Surprises, Tangles & Smashers! There are series 2 of the 5 Surprises and Series 2 Smashers out now!

The new 5 Surprises have even more fun surprises than the first series! The Smashers are soo much fun to smash, PLUS you can put them back together.. and smash again! The Tangles are fun fidget toys and they are actually something I like to fidget around with too. The pieces snap on and off so that’s an added fun bonus! Ha!

IMG-9957

You can find these at Walmart and on Amazon.

Check out Zuru’s website, as they have sooo many other fun products as well!

Zuru Max Build More blocks & figures!

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!

IMG_9674.jpg

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.

IMG_9672

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!

Check out more about Zuru on their website!

BIG thank you to Zuru for all of these, these were actually on my boy’s Christmas list, so Christmas definitely came early for them!
