    Abatons logo

    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!

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 Abatons Animals? Exclusively available at Target.

  • HEDBANZ The Quick Question Game! For KIDS!!!

    Hedbanz game

    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 checking her reflection in the fish tank. She’s so smart she doesn’t even guess the correct picture with the first guess. SNEAKY!!! Gotta watch this one closely; it’s also why we added the new rule you can’t get up until your turn is over or you automatically lose! What Is…

  • 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” rubber tires. Sturdy plastic body. This little guy takes a beating and keeps on going. Out of the box I immediately charged the Sumo. I did an overnight slow charge for the first, it’s not something that was recommended I just didn’t take the time to charge it during the first…

  • Let’s Play Soggy Doggy!!

    Soggy Dog game

    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 to make it around the board to the doggy basket wins the game. Soggy Doggy is so absolutely adorable that Alice tries to keep him with her stuffed animals instead of in the game box. Doggy has a rubbery stringy feel to him. Very fun to touch! Watch out when…
