                                             Presented by Spin Master Toys! 

      The Secret Live of Pets which comes out on July 8^th- is sure to be a huge hit with the whole family. I have only seen sneak peaks and I cannot wait to check the movie out myself!  Spin Master Toys has a great line of toys that will help your kids bring the magic of the feature into your home and in their imaginations!  The Secret Life of Pets Walking talking Pets is a line that includes your favorite characters, Mel, Gidget, Snowball and Max! Each one is about 8 inches tall, made of sturdy but not abrasive plastic and is a perfect likeness to the stars on the screen. Yea, Yea, that is all well and good- but the best part is they all say unique catch phrases from the movie, as well as a unique movement.  Max is super adorbs, as he barks, screams out ball! And bounces around in true

puppy style! Gigdet (my favorite) is fast and furious and asks if “what are you doing today” says how luck she is to find you, and is just a total sweat heart!  The enraged Snowball is not all sweetness as he looks- he has battle cries like “to the sewers!” and scoots around on the rotator’s on his bottom while carrying his carrot! While lovable Mel shoots out jokes and bounces around- I love him!

     All of the characters are well made, and have tons of fun backed into each figure. Your kids will enjoy the actions they produce- as well as just playing with them like any other action figure! The battle life lasts a long time as my son

Our Summer Outdoor Must HAVES!

                                              Outdoor Summer Play MUST HAVES!

     Sky Bouncer, this is no ordinary “flying disc” this is a game changer. The Sky Bouncer is leaves all others behind with its flawless flight and super hero like ability to bounce off walls! Yes, leaving all others in its wake this disc can bounce up to 25 off of walls or floors, and fortunately for us not our children’s heads! This soft yet durable plastic toy is great for the beach used for a traditional game of short range Frisbee game on the beach or to make the old game of hand ball a little more exciting.  We have used this repeatedly since receiving it, and have had a blast doing so! The bounce technology makes this great to play with the kids, and can take a beating without breaking- even the dog loves it! He has gone after it several times and his teeth has not penetrated through the rubber.  Great for outdoor play get your kids away from the screens for a while and tire them out with the amazing Sky Bouncer!  

      

Finding Dory, Blow Up Ball Pit Jakks Pacific  : Finding Dory has filled our hearts up with joy- as we knew she would and now she can fill up our days with fun with this amazing blow up ball pit.  A wonderful product from Jakks Pacific this inflatable ball pit is small enough to fit inside the house (sized at 33.5”x34”x34) and durable enough to bring out side (placed on a sheet so you do not accidently puncture it with any random sticks etc.). It is the perfect size for ages 2 plus and includes 20 soft flex balls.  The fun graphics as well as the interactive play panel, ball toss roof and two crawl holes are guaranteed to keep the kiddos occupied for at least an hour (yea I timed it) and the price of $30.00 is perfect for your budget! We have used this to entertain toddlers during family get together and have really enjoyed not only watching them play, but the little bit of peace we received while they were entertained!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Big Wheel Turtle Racer is another great item that we received from Jakks Pacific! Who does not have memories of riding around like you owned the streets (or in our case sidewalks) in their very own Big Wheels when we were kids. In our case it was a nice bright yellow and red, but now your children can have the same adventures with their very own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed ride!Read our full review here!

     This Beach Basket Set comes from one of our very favorite companies American Plastic Toys and has already become a family favorite.  This eight-piece set features a large basket (duh) that holds a pail, shovel three sand shapers, and sand castle mold. The lid not only holds everything securely inside, but acts as a sand sieve when looking for gold- or you know shells depending on what type of adventure you are taking it on. Wash everything off in the ocean or at a rinse station and order one for their kids. I myself have purchased several as graduation and birthday gifts and have received rave reviews. Simple, well made, and affordable what more could you ask for? American Plastics has done it again!

Learn All About Sick Bricks!

     Spin Master has hit the mark with the new toy-to-game series Sick Bricks, bringing back one of my favorite teenage slang words "sick" (meaning cool), and oh, also the game is pretty cool as well.
No, stop, let me rephrase it--this game is awesome!!


     The world is Sick City that is filled to the brim with Monsters, Aliens, Zombies, and all other crazy characters that are under attack by the evil Overlord Omega. It is your mission, if you choose to accept it, to stop Overlord Omega and his goons from ruining the once peaceful city of Sick.  The game play mixes open world, platform, and simple yet addicting dungeon crawl aspects,  meaning you can play in a multitude of ways. You can wander around and collect currency and bricks that help you rebuild the buildings around town.  You will also encounter a bunch of goons that need to be defeated.  If you go around trying to fulfill the random missions you will earn your way into different parts of the city that Omega has shut down. You will go into buildings and wander through maze-like rooms, fight evil foes and collect treasure, and defeat big bosses, all of this leading you closer to helping Sick City regain its once peaceful atmosphere.
