I have 3 boys so it’s no surprise we have a ton of video games. We have Nintendo DS’s (plural), Wii’s (plural), iPods, PS3, iPad, you get the jist… So whenever I have the chance to review something even minutely connected to the gaming world, the boys freak the freak out. This time, I wasn’t prepared for just how much my seven year-old was going to get hooked....
My kids have owned about every type of pet known to man. Recently our hermit crab (named, bat crab) floated on up to hermit crab heaven. My seven year-old is used to pets dying (hint to me to stop buying them maybe?!) and wasn’t too torn up about it, but misty nonetheless. The next afternoon we got a package in the mail and it was full of XiaXias. Carter turned to me and said two things, “Hey, we don’t need to get a new hermit crab now Mom!” (wasn’t going to anyway kid) and, “Even though these look like girl...
Yes, that’s right! We have a new in the box, unopened, glorious Fisher Price iXL to giveaway! Make your kids super happy this holiday season by winning this and wrapping it up under the tree (or menorah, or whatever you celebrate!). I got to play with the iXL at both BlogHer and Time To Play‘s Holiday Showcase. They are so great for the younger kids. It’s a handheld game, ereader, notepad, mp3 player in one! Now Cartman want’s to give it to your little one for the Holidays! From the Fisher Price website: These days, even preschoolers want cool digital...
We’ve got the kids pretty well covered so far, but how about the furry kids? You can’t forget them on the holidays! Hartz has them covered. They have toys for every pet personality! Since the turtle wasn’t much interested in the dog toys, Emily called for reinforcements. I rounded up the Knitschmidt family dog, Lucky, and headed to the Bark Park. Her pals, Kyli and Hank and their Colorado Moms owners Hethyr and Erin joined us and we busted out a couple of toys from the Hartz Holiday Look Book. Hank was a big fan of the Dura Play Ball....
Toy Story 3 Action Links are the HOT toy this Holiday season! I can now see why, they are both addictive and a total blast! We were selected to host an in-home party featuring these toys. The boys were so excited! We got Toy Story 3 plates, printed pictures from the movie, had Pizza Planet bagel bites and made Little Green Men cake pops! The boys were super excited to set up all the action links! Carter loves Evil Dr. Porkchop (“That’s Mr. Evil Dr. Porkchop to you buddy!“) So he set that one up first! Thomas helped me with...
We love Sprig here! We got the Dino set a while back and the boys love it! They especially love the smell of the Sprigwood! Sprigwood is made up of reclaimed sawdust and recycled plastic. Mother Earth can breathe a little easier knowing that more and more toys are being made out of recycled products and/or are Eco Friendly. From their site – Sprig Toys, Inc., is an eco-friendly company dedicated to making the best toys the right way. Inspired by our collective desire to keep kids active and the planet healthy, Team Sprig is dedicated to infusing creativity, smart...
How I wonder what I’d ever do without this toy! Chewy is not one to have a favorite toy, blankie, etc. He likes trucks, cars, trains, things with wheels that either talk or make noise. He usually takes the 800 stuffed animals I collect for him and uses them to throw over our balcony. But not Scout! I saw Twinkle Twinkle Little Scout by leapfrog at the TimeToPlay Holiday Showcase and instantly fell in love. I thought Chewy would like it okay, but totally underestimated the power of this little singing puppy. This toy is in my sons hands just...
Day 1 of our 12 days of Reviews features Steve Spangler Science! My boys love science! They especially love hands on experiments. We watch Steve Spangler on our local news channel often and the boys always want to recreate the fun experiments he highlights. I was recently given the opportunity to review the Big Bag of Science! As soon as my boys saw the bag, they were more than a little excited. We sat around the table and poured through the booklet of all the different things we could do in the kit. Cartman decided he wanted to make slime!...
If you haven’t seen Chuggington, you need to! Especially if you have train obsessed kids like mine! We recently received a Chuggington Training Yard with Loop to review from the Learning Curve Company. My kids are not normal. They find ways to play with toys that are either not appropriate or not what the toy was intended for. You will see that video below. Thankfully after a few takes, they actually started playing with the toy the right way. (Although as of right now, they have Buzz and Woody attacking Wilson and KoKo on the loop and are trying to...
News at 11… In the @Colorado_Mom household, there was a violent attack of epic proportions. BIGFOOT snuck up on Spike the Dinosaur and a fight broke out! Wanna know who won? Well, it was a draw. Bigfoot has some stinky attacks, but Spike came back with his monstrous roar and tried to frighten BIGFOOT away. The clear winners in this match were my children who laughed for hours over these guys. Chewy had received Spike for his birthday earlier this year. BIGFOOT came courtesy of Fisher Price for this review. Chewy instantly bonded with BIGFOOT by patting him on his...
