Mike the Knight Glendragon Castle Play Set

Disclosure- I received this item in order to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own and honest. For more info, see the “I Disclose” tab.

Knight and dragons are some of the most fun themes to play with. But dragons and knights aren’t the best of friends, are they? Dragons can be a bit on the scary side, and knights generally want to poke and prod dragons in some not so nice ways. But in the case of Mike the knight, this is far from the truth. Not only is Mike a nice knight, but his two best friends are dragons.

Mike the Knight follows the tales of Mike as he learns to ‘be a knight – and do it right!’ Every story teaching a lesson on how to solve problems the right way, with courage and smarts. Mike has some helpers too: his sister Evie, horse Galahad, and two dragon friends Squirt and Sparkie to help him on his journey to knighthood. One of the most interesting play sets for Mike the Knight is the new Glendragon Castle Play set. This play set features Glendragon castle, Mike the knight himself, as well as Galahad and of extras to round out a fun. The castle itself has three floors of excitement and has both an interior play area as well s an exterior. From Evie’s potion room which flips out to the outer wall of the castle to a working drawbridge, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. There is a shield on the interior of the castle which activates over 20 sounds and phrases directly from Mike the Knight. This button also activates the drawbridge so every quest begins with a nifty phrase. There are over 10 additional play pieces including a working catapult, zip line, ladder, treasure chest, a fun day of knight training is only an imagination away.

Hot Holiday Toys

With Christmas right around the corner, most of us are looking for the most fun toys to get for that special child in our life. Here are a few of our current favorites, and what your child would love to find under the tree this year.

Big Hugs Elmo- this guy might be “The” hot toy of the year. If you have a little one, Big Hugs Elmo is sure to please. He is large (about the size of a one year old) and a whole lot of playful fun. Elmo loves getting and giving hugs, and will often ask for a bigger or tighter squeeze from your little cuddle bug. Elmo also asks to play ponies, jump like froggies, (and will comment along with appropriate noises) and dance, sing, nap, and more. He raises his arms up and down, hugs back, and sings bedtime songs and snores when laid on his back. You can find Big Hugs Elmo at http://www.toysrus.com or in physical stores near you for about $50- and if you want this toy, I think it will go fast, so get yours early.

If you are in the mood for Elmo, also take a look at Playskool Sesame Street Lullaby & Good Night Elmo by Hasbro. This little guy is ready for bed, in his Dorothy the goldfish pajamas, and all set to comfort your peanut as he or she drifts off into dreamland. Kids can snuggle up with Elmo and press Elmo’s tummy to hear a lullaby or one of a few bedtime phrases. Take note that there is no “off” button, so the button may be pressed accidentally if your child is a restless sleeper. Available at stores like Koh’ls or at http://www.hasbro.com for roughly $15.

About Nenuco:

The educational value of doll playing is recommended for all youngsters.

This unique playset includes a cradle that can attach to a child’s bed so their “baby” can sleep close and safe with them all night long.

Your child will be able to use this two ways — as a standalone cradle or attached to a bed.

Glow Pets- Perfect for Gifting

November 23, 2013 by Samantha 1 Comment

Having a child that is afraid of the dark can make bedtime an ordeal. Wouldn’t it be great if there was an alternative to a traditional night light that would help your child by giving them confidence and companionship while helping them fall asleep safely? Let me tell you about Glow Pets. With a simple push of a button, your child can illuminate their room with safe LED lights that never get hot and drift of to dreamland peacefully.

Glow Pets are adorable, they are furry and fun companions in the daytime and they make night time activities extra special. Camping, watching movies, going to sleepovers, and even bedtime is enhanced with the soft glow that is emitted when the button on a glow pet is pushed. Children will enjoy soft glowing light while parents enjoy the 20 minute auto shut off feature. I thought that was the perfect amount of time for comfort and battery preservation.

Lego Ninja Turtles and Spongebob by Imaginext

November 13, 2013 by Samantha 4 Comments

When are sea creatures more then sea creatures? Why when they are Sponge bob and Fish face from Ninja Turtles of course. Today we are taking a look at some aquatic creature toys that aren’t so aquatic and much more fun then their real life inspiration.

First the new LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Stealth Shell in Pursuit. This nifty play-set includes 3 mini-figs and two vehicle. Well the pieces to make at least those 5 toys, but your imagination can make countless more. The mini-figs included are quite unique for the most part. First we have Raphael, who is not merely a painted mini-fig to look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle but also has the shell, and the head of a Ninja Turtle. With details right down to the red face mask. Next up is a foot clan soldier, he is a regular mini-fig design who is functional as the filler when Raphael has to mop up the foot clan while chasing after our final mini-fig, Fish face.

Fish face is less a mini-fig and more a sculpture. He is LEGO sized and has LEGO hands and size but his body is that of a fish, and his legs are robotic, making him just about the most unique mini-fig we own. Little Man is usually pro hero/anti-villain but Fish face is his current favorite mini-fig. The vehicle which you can make are a sewer skimmer and a stealth shell. One a motor cycle and one a boat/jet-ski. Both fit one figure each and bring the set together nicely. This set is quite fun for LEGO enthusiasts or Ninja Turtle fans as well, both will get a bit kick out of Raphael and Fish-face.

Peppa Pig – Fun New Toys

November 10, 2013 by Samantha 5 Comments

My son loves Peppa Pig. The TV show is one of his favorites, and he can tune in on Nick Jr. daily. When the first Peppa Pig toys came out, he was psyched. Nothing is better then playing with your favorite characters and acting out the mischief they get into (and making up some of your own). Truth be told, as much as he likes Peppa, he likes Daddy Pig more- he snorts WAY louder. He also likes her baby brother George, because he throws toys, spaghetti, and hides from Peppa (which really peeves her). So, the boys have it, according to my son.

Peppa is snarky, which amuses me. She has quite an attitude for a little piglet, which I guess is fitting. The toys looks just like the characters on the show, and many of them have moving parts or talk as well. This new line of toys revolve around bedtime and bathtime, two of my son’s least favorite times of the day. However, the former being my very most favorite 🙂
