Our pool is a huge draw, but this year I also have Playmobil toys like the New Playmobil Wildlife Adventure Treehouse. PLAYMOBIL is known for its imaginative play and iconic figures. Now Playmobil brings a really playful Wild Life Theme to life where…

Playmobil WaterPark Set Makes Summer Fun
The Playmobil Waterpark is one of my favourite new summer toys this year. Playmobil waterpark with slides will have kids flocking to your yard for creative play this season. This new, cheery and colourful set can be used both indoors and out. Summer is a great time to find the kids outdoors enjoying the weather, the parks, and people’s backyards. One of the things I love about summer is that children are often motivated to get outside because the weather is so nice. Even so, in the summer months I love to have some indoor and outdoor toys on hand for my kids and any others who come to visit, so…

Great Sensory Toys – Ultimate Booger Battle #Giveaway
Spring is here and summer is clearly on the way so bring on the messy, outdoor, fun. Bring on the water play and sand play, puddles and mud and booger battles….wait, what? Let’s be honest here, kids love boogers as much as they love spring and summer and outdoor messes. So they will also love sensory toys like the Funrise Toys Booger Balls Ultimate Battle Pack. You have to think like a kid to appreciate this one. Also please note this is clearly 100 % an outdoor toy. DO NOT do this in the basement, or without adult supervision. Also pay attention to the end because I have one of…

Tucker Toys Crush-It and Zoingo Boingo for Spring and a #Giveaway
I know that spring may seem months away when you are staring down a lawn of snow and roads that are treacherous. But frankly it’s almost Groundhog Day and soon we will know if we have another six weeks of skiing, or an early chance to put the shovels away. When it comes to spring time, I find it sometimes helps with kids to have a few new cool toys hanging around waiting for them to use outdoors. That’s where these Tucker Toys, the Crush-It adjustable high powered bat, and Zoingo Boingo come in handy. Great spring toys help parents like us manage spring fever. Toys That Help Cure Spring Fever…

A Collection of Snoopy and Peanuts Gift Ideas
Wouldn’t it be fun to get a collection of Peanuts gifts for someone who loved the Peanuts movie? These Peanuts gift ideas might help you if you have someone like that in your life. Did you grow up with Snoopy and Peanuts like I did? Can you hear Charlie Brown’s teacher in your head every time someone drones on and on about a topic you don’t really care about? HEHE. Yes, me too. I remember many Christmases as we were growing up, snuggled on the couch watching Christmas movies such as a Charlie Brown Christmas. I also still remember the Charlie Brown Christmas tree that a group of…

Qixels is a Fun Crafty Toy for Any Child #TMMGG2015
Qixels arrived here this Fall and it caught my eye because it combines a little flavour of video game characters with hands on crafting. The kids were each grappling for it immediately. I actually had to hold them off on this one because there were many days we didn’t have time to sit and photograph and do this review justice. A couple of weeks ago we finally had a chance to sit and enjoy this cute crafty toy. I first saw Qixels at a toy show months ago and it seemed to me that it had a Minecraft kind of feel to it. That extends the life of a toy right now…

PERFECT Teen or Tween Gifts – Fashion Angels Charm Mashup and Work In Progress Natural Facial Care – #TMMGG2015
Fashion Angels Charm Mashup is a toy I would have gone nuts for as a tween or teen girl. I loved to craft and make things just like my girls do. So, I figured this would be a lot of fun but I was surprised it made me feel like a kid again too. Usually bead kits drive me a bit batty as a parent because the beads can wind up tracked all over the house, but we have learned a few tricks from the kid’s crafting experiments here over the years and I quickly just made sure ALL the beads went into one big container immediately. No mess. Just…

Adorable Newborn Tekno Puppy is a Gift Everyone Will Love #TMMGG2015
Adorable Newborn Tekno Puppy is the cutest gift that has arrived here so far this year. Tekno Puppy will be a huge hit this holiday season with any child you choose to give this too. If I were a child again, this Newborn Tekno Puppy would top my Christmas wish list. As it is it will top my list of toys that I give, especially for little girls between ages 5 and 13. The suggested age range for Newborn Tekno Puppy is 3 and up. But together my kids and I both discussed this and felt like the age range is a bit too young. I wouldn’t gift this to a…

Tony Hawk Circuit Boards For Tweens by Hexbug – #TMMGG2015 #giveaways
Of all the people on your list this year, the tweens and teenagers can be some of the hardest to buy for. Oh sure there’s always gift cards. Kids like to spend those after they hit double digits. But if you are like me you still love to have something under the tree for them to open also. Gadgets? Sure, why not. But there are only so many electronics you can give. Kids, of all ages, still like something to unwrap and play with on occasion. So happy to share that HexBug has you covered this year for all the tweens and teens on your list. These Tony Hawk Circuit…

The ZB Freestyle Board By Tucker Toys #TMMGG2015 #Giveaway
I first saw this ZB Freestyle Board at Blogger Bash in New York City at an event called Sweet Suite. I figured it would be right for one of my girls. Then the ZB Freestyle Board arrived last week and we set it up together for a test-drive here. The ZB Freestyle Board by Tucker Toys is the perfect toy for active tweens who like skateboarding. There are several different colours available. This sells for about $50.00. Pick up one for the tweens in your life who want to skateboard, or are already little boarders. Practice your flips and tricks and then switch to a skateboard. The balancing alone for me…
