Zoobles Mini Figures

For some reason, little kids like little things that do cool stuff.

I cannot quite put my finger on it, but as a mother (this means I happen to also be a grown up), I still like little things that do cool stuff!

Have you heard of Zoobles yet?  There is an entire line of little animals in the Petagonia Collection that will keep you and your little ones busy for hours.   In the far off mysterious Isle of Zooble live many tiny little creatures called Zoobles. They present in the shape of a round little ball and out of no where, POP open and transform into a cute quirky little creature!!

Recommended for girls aged 4-9 years old, these magnetic little animals are sure to be a hit this holiday season.  Believe it or not, there are hundreds of different characters, and there are a bunch of different themed play sets, including an undersea playground and a treehouse!

All opinions are 100% my own. Thank you to Spin Master for providing one Zooble to help facilitate this review.

Moto Frenzy: The Ultimate Micro R/C Motorcycle by Air Hogs

Remote control vehicles have come a very long way since I was a kid.  I remember my little brother having huge/noisy/clunky cars that were clumsily controlled by a remote.  You will not even believe how svelte this little  motorcycle is by Air Hogs (is svelte an appropriate term to use when describing such a manly toy as this??;))!!!

The Ultimate Micro Motorcycle happens to be the smallest micro r/c ever created...but do not let it's size deter you- this thing is small but MIGHTY!

Boys aged 8+ can imitate their favorite motocross riders by racing along a track, making sharp turns, and popping wheelies!  The rider is poseable, which opens the door for even more awesome tricks!!  Each package comes with one moto frenzy (one rider + one bike), and one controller.  Controllers are battery operated and take six AA batteries, which are not included.  Check out the website to purchase and to see the accessories are available- including stunt ramps!



What little guy in your life wouldn't love something as crazy as a Moto Frenzy!? Actually, I know a few girls who would also love this...!

Moon Dough

It's getting colder and and the kids are going to be playing inside more as winter rapidly approaches. Is that enough to make your blood pressure rise, mom? Breathe deep and repeat after me, "It will be okay...we have options".

Kids love all types of modeling clay and dough, but no matter how cool the colors are, no matter how fun the accessories are, there is always one problem---it.dries.out. Like seriously, no.matter.what.you.do! No matter how many times you nag little Jenny, there will always be a missed ball of dough, or a corner of the container left open. Noooo!

It might make you crazy enough to start making your own out of flour and water, but before you get all nutty on me, hear me out.

I have the answer. The answer to all your crusty-dried out-dough issues!

MOON DOUGH.

It's magical. I'm not making false claims, it says so right in their tag line, hehe! Moon Dough does not dry out. Ever. Ever-Ever.   Even better, it's for the little guys- ages 2-4! Talk about a mom/teacher's dream- clean, fun, safe, non-drying imaginative fine motor play! EEP!

The dough is soft and squishy, reminiscent of a marshmallow (please don't eat it, and while you're at it, don't let the kids eat it either:)).  It comes in durable, cute, colored moon-shaped containers and we tried it, it really does not dry out, should your little babes leave some out.  The possibilities are endless when playing with Moon Dough, and if you need some inspiration, you can purchase accessories for it, like this awesome Magic Barnyard!
