Toys, Games and Fun for ALL


Hot for the holidays (once again) are Hatchimals! My kiddo was over the moon excited when this Hatchimals Advent Calendar arrived. Not only did it mean she was getting a present early, it meant she was getting a present every day from now until Christmas! Which is when I told her she had to wait for to get the other Hatchimals gifts that Spinmaster sent us. Yep, I'm that mom. Even though she had already seen it she was gonna have to wait.


The good folks over at Spinmaster also sent me a nice selection of Twisty Petz, an Airhog SUPERNOVA, and The Dog Game for me to share with you this holiday season. All of those items are being used for a family we "adopted" for the holidays. I am positive the little girl and the boy in the family will both be ecstatic when they open their awesome gifts Christmas morning!

Photo Pearls and Paint-Sation are the ultimate tools for encouraging creativity, imaginative play, and tech-free time for all ages from Goliath. The best way to unleash their creativity is to give them a way to do it freely!

Paint-Sation is every mother’s dream come true, paint that won’t spill or make a mess! Even if children turn the pod upside-down, the paint won’t drip out. Children simply touch their brush along the specially-designed bristles, and they’re ready to paint.

Photo Pearls lets children transform their photos into unique works of art. It’s super easy – all children must do is upload their photo to the Photo Pearls app to “pearlize” their image. Then they can start assembling their piece of art with the key provided. A wonderful alternative to puzzles, Photo Pearls is a great stress reliever that will leave children with a show-stopping piece of art.
