Do your kids like gross things? Usually its boys but Kamikaze is quite the gross-ologist as well. Most times this is a problem. Wanting to touch something they shouldn’t or in general getting entirely too close to something they shouldn’t be near at all. Dr. Dreadful is here with a whole line of gross delicious products to satisfy that gross side of kids. From bug gummy injectors to zombie brains and barf its all here in all its ‘glory’ or rather ‘gory’.
We are taking a look at the Zombie Lab . The zombie lab is a play set is packed with experiments to play with. There are four in total including bubbling brains, zombie skin, zombie bugs and zombie barf. Each experiment involves specific measuring and a chemical reaction. For the skin the liquid becomes a semi-solid thin candy material once refrigerated and the bubbling brains solidify a bit and bubble and ooze out of their brain container. These experiments are easy to do and because of the zombie and sweet outcome are [Read more…]

Zoobies! W!N Yours Here- A Pillow, A Pet, A Blanket!
I have to tell you, this is one product that I really, really like. It is really useful, cute, versatile, fun, and functional! Zoobies! It’s a pillow, it’s a blanket, it’s a toy, it’s FABULOUS! I love it. It is great to bring on road trips, to Pre-School, to grandma’s house- it’s a sleepover all-in-one. My Little Man chose to review Lencho the Lion- and he has slept in Little’s bed every night since he arrived. It is an adorable pillow that can be used as a toy and blanket combo as well- The blanket (44″ x 34″) that comes with it not only covers Little Man fully, but is adorable.
When the blanket is out of the Zoobie, Lencho becomes a friend to play with or sleep with. What kid likes to sleep without a stuffie? When you are all done with the blankie, it packs up to fit back inside, making him both a huggable buddy and a snuggely pillow! Do you not love it? And what a good idea. Lencho the Lion even came to Disney with us- and got used daily. That is proof of a great toy- love in Disney!
From his fun wild mane to his super-soft fur, Lencho™ is sure to become your child’s constant companion. Not only is Lencho™ an adorable lion, but also a comfy pillow and super-soft blanket all in one. Perfect for road excursions or just cuddling in bed. Lencho™ also makes for the ideal baby shower gift.

Thomas the Train: Take-n-Play Rumbling Gold Mine Run
Thomas is timeless. No matter how many trains and train sets your kids have there is always something new out there to get their attention. One of the newest ones is Take-n-Play track sets. These sets are great because not only do you get a train and a nifty track set but it is also portable.
The track folds up nicely and is able to be picked up and brought with them, to lets say, Grandma’s house. I am sure quite a few of you have to deal with lots of running around in the next few days. A toy like this is very helpful right now. No more screams to play with the trains, take them with you. If you don’t want to [Read more…]

Jakks Cars 2 TV Plug-In Video Game
Ok so its Christmas time and the family is over. You have every console imaginable but the kids just want to play something easy. No installs, no updates, no learning how to play. Just something easy to plug in, turn on and play.
Jakks Pacific is great at making these type toys. The most popular right now is the Deluxe Cars 2 TV game . This game is based on the popular Cars 2 movie which was recently released on DVD. There are “18” games included in this. Most of which are derivatives of racing games, while a few are mock shooting games where you have to sabotage other racers with oil barrels and such. Keep in mind this game is not meant for serious gamers. This is an electronic TV toy. Not a serious gaming console. This is a driving wheel which connects to your TV and lets the kids play Cars 2 easily and quickly.
Each game is easy to the point where winning is a given, which is nice for little gamers. [Read more…]
A Cultural Christmas
Looking for a few more stocking stuffers to finish up your holidays and jam those stockings while also teaching your kids a thing or two?
Here are a few picks from Little Man:
Chicken Joe Forgets Something Important is a book and cd set which tells the story of Joe, who is a cat who in this book goes on a mystery adventure to figure out what he forgot and in the process we meet lots of Chicken Joe’s friends who are planning something big for Joe. The book comes with a cd which has twelve tracks of music on it. He loved the music and the story, in fact he enjoyed the entire Chicken Joe experience. It is his current favorite “jam”, lol.
Songs from the Baobob is an illustrated nursery rhyme/lullabies book and cd. The book is gorgeously illustrated and has an authentic African look to the art. Each rhyme is spoken/written in its native tongue so there are 29 songs from 10 countries in 11 languages. It is quite a compilation. I like how after each song there is a short description of the cultural significance of the song in its culture. The book….there was not much to the book, honestly. Sorry.
Next up is a cd [Read more…]
Voice Rockrz- Do your kids like to sing?
How do you make kids more annoying then they already are? (Yeah, I SAID IT! LOL)
Perhaps with loud flashy gun toys you say? Oh nay- nay.
How about a microphone that makes their voice change AND makes them louder. Ah yes, enjoy getting this ‘gift’ from the people who truly make you crazy. Christmas IS the time for giving, after all. 😛
Do your kids run around the house all day singing popular songs? Maybe even popular songs from yester-years. We recently found Little Man has taken a liking to classic rock- as long as it has a catchy chorus, he will sing it all day, or at least until he hears another song to replace it.
If your children are as into music as mine are, then this next toy is for you. Voice Rockrz is a microphone which also has voice changing and special effects. The voice change has three different settings, robot, echo and hi-pitch. There are some issues with the hi-pitch where it doesn’t sound quite right, work properly, or work with the corresponding bracelet.
The feature of the Voice Rockrz my kids like best, after the fact that it is a microphone PLUS it changes your voice. With a click [Read more…]
