Girlz N Dollz: A Review

   Girlz N Dollz line of plush rag dolls are one of the cutest series of affordable plush's I have seen in a long while.  We received Jumbo Leila Princess Doll- from the "Jumbo" line of Girlz N Dollz. Leila is perfectly fitted in her pink dress and not only looks good but is soooo soft to the touch!  The creator of the line is in love with both dolls and fashion and with the help of her own little girl created a line that reflected that the mantra of their line  "I AM ME"
   This doll makes me fell like a kid again, I can just picture myself receiving this as a gift and carrying her around on adventures all the while still being able to cuddle up with her to sleep at the end of the day. Leila, like all the dolls in the line is machine washable, which helps because she will absolutely be going off on adventures your little ones and what is a adventure without a little mess!

  Girlz and Dolls did not reduce detail just because they wanted to make  a soft plush.  The clothing is beautiful and durable. The hair soft as a blanket but sturdy enough to be carried around by it.  The faces are beautifully embroidered and friendly.  Not like other dolls, you know  what I am talking about. Those dolls have that scary empty look to them, the ones you do not want to find in a dark empty room at 1am- yea you won't find any of those in this line. Every piece on this doll is made with a high quality standard plush that allows you to keep the appeal of a plush without losing that uniqueness of an actual doll.  `


  My final verdict- you cannot go wrong when you have Girlz N Dollz in your corner. They have small dolls, jumbo dolls, mermaids, and even a boy doll! You will find exactly what you are looking for and your child will find a friend for life!

I was given this toy to review, however the opinions are my own

Aurora My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic! Review

   

     The amazing Aurora toy gift and doll manufacturers released their 2015 My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic line, based on the great revamped Hasbro TV series. There are 12 new styles for six of the popular ponies- each character is available in the 6.5 inch style or the medium 13 inch style.  Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack, Rarity, Fluttershy Princess, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Luna and Spike The Dragon have all been given a makeover that even Rarity would approve of (yeah I watch the show- wanna fight about it? Lol)
   These brand new plush toys have all new brush-able hair, sparkling with Mylar accents that make me envious. The stitching is strong and hardly seen, which is just one sign of the high quality.  As for the  beautifully embroidered "cutie "on their rump and beautiful eyes- they are perfection.  A product like this is very difficult to review because there are literally no flaws- none.  I have searched to find one slight defect, one stitch out of place- I have thrown them across the room, I have pulled at them to the point that any mediocre plush would be destroyed, and they will not bend. I even messed up their hair (do not tell my mom!) and then brushed them back into perfection.  I am telling you guys this job is hard, but one thing is for sure Aurora has made a quality product that goes way above par.  They are exact replicas of the characters from the show,  they can take a "lickin n keep on tickin" and with the brush-able mane they will look like new after any day of play.
     This is a no brainier buy for anyone looking for a special gift for the My Little Pony fan or, for that matter- a Bronie!  Not familiar with the characters? Check out your local listings for My Little Ponies Friendship is Magic- or check the series out on Netflix! You will be buying these dolls in no time!

Tiggly Counts Review

     There are countless apps available that help your child to learn math. Some of them are great, others not so much, but none of them are Tiggly.  The Tiggly learning system combines a physical "toy" with beautifully designed apps. Now you may be thinking "does an app really need physical objects to play it"?  The technical answer is no.  The games are free to download and play  even without the pieces you can play- but your child is missing out.

     For the sake of this review we played all three of the Tiggly games with and without the pieces.  Without the pieces the apps are still fun well made learning apps- however they are just tapping the screen a number of times to count up to the number asked.  There is no real challenge or comprehensive thinking- heck they don't even need to count they can just tap the screen a million times until they get the right number. Fun for about one second and one go around with the game.
     With the brightly colored number spaced rods, the wheels in your child's brain starts to turn.  In my son's favorite game, Tiggly Chef, this hot headed culinary genius needs a certain amount of ingredients to make his culinary masterpieces!  It's your child's job to not only make sure that they add the right ingredients- but the right number of the item as well. Rods in hand my son hears Chef say "add eight shrimp" he swipes the screen until he sees the shrimp appear and by sights knows if it is four or eight on the screen- he usually gets it right too, smart little bugger.  Then he will choose which numbered

Hog Wild presents ZipStix! Here is our Review!

     "Prepare to Zip the competition" with Hog Wild's new toy ZipStix! Reminiscent of a 90's snap bracelet, you grab both ends of the Stix and flex into the "locked" position-you will hear a clicking sound.  Then align the hole in the ZipStix to the launcher with the logo facing up- that is important! Hold down the launcher, push down, and the ZipSitx will begin to curl and then launch! Challenge yourself or a friend to see who can crash the most cones, get their ZipStick to go the furthest, or see who will reach the finish line first!

     All of Hog Wild toys are great (need I remind you of the Popper); they all have an interactive attribute that gets kids excited about playing with them and the ZipStix is no different. Given a little bit of time and concentration you can make these guys fly and actually hold a real competition with your family,
