I so can’t wait to get my hands on those!
DINO SMASHERS!! Coming soon!!! I can’t wait!!!!
Hexbug! I love how they take the one nano technology and apply it to all of their products!! I didn’t know you could make so many!
Nano’s for youngsters! These Nano Juniors are so cute! So big and chucky. Perfect for little hands.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
It’s that time again! CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.. and since we have reviewed SO many awesome toys, I thought that we would put together a list of our favorites!
I will keep this updated throughout the next few weeks up until Christmas, as we have a lot more toys and games that we haven’t reviewed yet!
