Guest Post- managing your child’s fever

As a mother, you have probably experienced waking up in the middle of the night to the whimper from your child’s room, calling for ‘Mommy’. As you check in on your child, you find that his forehead is warm and quickly discover that he has a fever. Though your immediate reaction may be of worry and concern, you question what you should do next.
Thus, this cold and flu season, in an effort to help ease parents’ anxiety, Children’s Advil is launching an educational Fever Relief program that highlights common misconceptions and offers helpful tips, when it comes to managing your child’s fever.
Accordingly, two new national surveys of parents and pediatricians revealed that a majority of parents feel anxious, helpless and fearful when facing a child’s fever and frequently make mistakes when treating their child. Findings from the “Dose of Reality” survey by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare, makers of Children’s [Read more…]

Innotab by VTech- a Holiday Must-Have!

One of the hottest toys or gifts this holiday season are tablets. VTech has decided adults aren’t the only ones who could benefit from this budding technology. The Innotab is the newest VTech educational toy. VTech have an entire line of childrens learning products, and have specialized to this field for quite some time, so you know a tablet made by VTech for kids will be of good quality. Not to mention, then the kids will leave yours alone! Hooray!

This tablet first of all NEEDS an SD card. If you plan on buying, this also pick up an SD card- 1GB -2GB is fine, any brand will do. Just make sure you grab it. In order to save anything on the Innotab, you MUST have one in the machine. This is not a big deal if you are aware of it and they run for pretty cheap (less than $10). No worries!

The Innotab itself is a cool toy. It runs apps, plays educational games, illustrations, reads ebooks, plays MP3’s, plays videos and views pictures. Most anything a PC [Read more…]

Safari Limited Toys- Fun for all ages!

Safari Limited makes museum quality toys at a retail level price. Their toys vary from actual animals to mythological creatures- even wizards and witches. These toys are high quality plastic and don’t break easily. After a long afternoon of play time, they can still go right back onto the shelf and look as good as they did before.
The detail on these are incredible as well, but we will get more into that in a bit.
Let’s take a look at a few of these nifty toys.

First up the Krystal Blue Dragon. It is so detailed it looks like the dragon is going to snap at you at any moment. Each scale is modeled to perfection and stunning detail.

Next up is is the North American Wildlife Reindeer, a wonderful recreation of a real animal. The fur is so realistic it looks soft and as if it were swaying in the wind.

The Toobs are a great way to get a few of these [Read more…]

Raminator- A Monster of a Truck!


No, it isn’t the newest cheesy action movie about a goat. Raminator is a new monster truck toy made by the Road Ripper Wheelie line of monster trucks. Raminator is based on the Dodge Ram pickup truck design.
Raminator plays music, flashes lights and does wheelies. It’s a cool monster truck that would be perfect for the little boy or girl who is big into cars and trucks. The music it plays is what you would hear at any stadium event and the lights flash along to the music. No matter how many times your kids hear that same song play, [Read more…]

Smokey The Fire Truck- Find Fun under your tree!

Today we are taking a look at one of Matchbox’s latest entries in the Big Rig Buddies line, Smokey the Firetruck. Smokey is a fire truck who transforms into a robot, shoots water (very soft foam balls), talks, sings and even dances.
Smokey is based on real fire truck designs, so he is pretty close to the real thing when in fire truck mode. But when he is in robot mode the toy comes to life with his dancing and singing. There is one other mode for when you want to shoot his water cannon and that is when he is fully upright. The best part of the water cannon is there is no water, only blue foam balls that are soft and do not hurt when accidentally shot at a sibling or anyone else, which is a nice touch. I’d still not let them aim at your TV, LOL.

I really enjoy how Smokey interacts with Little Man and how he can still be a fire truck when need be.
There are a few points [Read more…]
