Build-A-Bot Bunny Is HERE!
I absolutely love toys that encourage creativity and mix in learning as well as direction following. Build-A-Bot does just that. Like most parents and grandparents our favorite toys to buy are the challenging ones. Something super easy and most kids, including Alice lose interest. Build-a-Bot buddies are so cute! Not only cute, but your kids build it!! Build it and watch it come to life! From Bee Bots to Bunny Bots. It’s a home run! The Build-a-Bot box has a note on the bottom that says: 5 to 7 may need help. 8 to 10 can assemble the robot on their own. We found that to be very true. 6-year-old…

Abatons Animals – Collectibles Review
The Abatons Animals are coming!! If you have kids you are probably aware of BLIND BAGS! These are small Mylar bags with mystery toys or collectibles. 6-year-old Alice goes nuts for blind bags! She can barely contain her excitement when we are in the store. From choosing which bag to pick to the final moment of truth when the scissors come out and she opens the bag. Trust me, I get a happy girl while shopping, I get homework done without a single whine, blind bags are GOLD where Alice is concerned. We have a new series to add to our bribe I mean treasure hunting! So, exactly what are…

HEDBANZ The Quick Question Game! For KIDS!!!
I love giving FAMILY games at Christmas. A good game is a great bonding time for kids and parents. Something that is FUN and imaginative is even better! Let me tell you what! HEDBANZ is just that! FUN!! And challenging but not so hard that kids give up easily and don’t want to play anymore. How Old To Play HEDBANZ? The game is rated 7 and up; however 6-year-old is a whiz kid with this game. It is so fun to watch the way her mind works. It’s also very funny to watch her want to ‘stretch her legs’ when she can’t guess the card… ummmm hummm little cheater was…

Jumping Sumo Bounce Car EXCELLENT Christmas Gift Idea!
What is black and red, 5½” by 4½” and bounces, races, jumps and spins like 6-year-old Alice on too much Halloween Candy?! I’ll tell you what it’s the Jumping Sumo Bounce Car and it is so dang much fun I’m NOT sure I can give it to Alice when I move! It may have to continue to be a NaNa’s house toy. California or Idaho! The Jumping Sumo has a very Star Wars look to it. It’s fast. It’s super easy to learn to use. I handed Alice the remote, the Jumping Sumo and she went to town. There is no assembly required. The Sumo completely assembled with large 4½”…

Let’s Play Soggy Doggy!!
It’s all about games, books, and dress-up for Alice. Seriously, the kid loves games as much as she loves her books. Soggy Doggy game from Spin Master Games is SO MUCH fun!! This is one of Spin Master‘s newest games. The object of the game is well, no getting wet as players go around the board washing the Soggy Doggy that rests in the middle of the board as they go. I have to admit the first two, three (maybe ten) times we played this game we mostly tried to make the dog shake. In normal play if the Doggy shakes then you have to start all over. The first player…

DISNEY D-LECTABLES!!! Collect ’em ALL!!
I’ll bet if you sit really quietly right now you can hear 6-year-old Alice screaming like a … well, like a six-year-old girl. Three reasons for all the squealing first, it’s DISNEY related!

Summer Fun With Outdoor Movies!!
Summer fun! Summer boredom busters Y’all know that I am trying to find things to do with 6-year-old Alice this summer. So the first thing we did was sit down and make a list of things we wanted to do. Then we cut all the ideas into strips and put them in a container. We have tons of things; going to the San Diego Zoo, LEGOLAND, San Diego Safari Park, movies, tons of pool and beach days. Several of our ideas have multiple strips. I’ve mentioned before that I try everything I can to stretch out the activities so that I’m not pulling my hair out by 11am. First I…
