Miles from Tomorrow Land Awesome Toys

September 18, 2015 by Danielle 3 Comments

Disclosure- The below has been provided in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest.

Miles From Tomorrowland is a favorite around this house! My girls have the schedule memorized, even with school in session, we still wake up and have time to watch it after we get ready :). We were so very excited to be able to host our very own Miles from Tomorrowland party and invite our friends over to play with the awesome new Miles From Tomorrowland Toys from Tomy.

About Miles From Tomorrowland:

Miles from Tomorrowland is an animated Disney Junior series. It centers around the Callisto family who live on a spaceship called the Stellosphere and work for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.

Miles is an enthusiastic boy with a rambunctious boys streak. Miles has a sister Loretta Callisto who is the ‘brains’. Their mom Phoebe and dad Leo are the captain and the engineer of the ship. M.E.R.C. is the family’s pet robo-ostrich who is never far from Miles’ side.

About the Toys:

StarJetter: Miles and his family, the Callistos, are on a mission to connect the universe. The StarJetter, their most nimble and versatile exploratory shuttle, transports them anywhere in the galaxy. Let the StarJetter help your child on any missions with all 3 of its exploration modes:

Space Mode, with the Stellosphere and the Callisto family
Once they land, put the legs down for extreme height to walk over any obstacles
For rocky and mountainous terrain, pull the legs down for extreme height to walk over any obstacles

Stellosphere: The Callistos are on a mission to connect the universe. Explore the galaxy on the Stellosphere, the home base space station for the Callistos, where they relax, recharge and receive new missions from the TTA.

The Stellosphere comes apart into 3 separate ships to make space explorations easier. Open up the large Stellosphere playset to reveal the Callisto’s command center where Miles and the Callisto Family 9figures sold separately) can receive missions from the TTA. For short, quick missions, take the mini StarJetter that is stored in the Stellosphere. For longer missions that require a greater distance to travel take the Zip Ship that can be removed from the top of the Stellosphere.

To boost any ship with lights and sounds remove the XVR system form the bottom of the Stellosphere and attach to the other ships. With that many ways to explore, no mission is too difficult.

Superstellar Blastboard: Blastboard, go!

Miles rockets through the cosmos in nanoseconds on his Blastboard and your child can too! Choose from three different game modes to practice balance skills on the Blastboard:

“Blastboard Surfing!” Keep up with Miles’ Blastboard surfing directions to complete the mission.
“LightSpeed!” Lean towards the flashing lights as fast as possible.
Miles frequently moves to his own beat, and your child can too with “Let’s Race!” Your child can race against herself and move in any direction she chooses with the music.

Figurines:

There are many figurines of each of the different characters that are featured in Miles From Tomorrowland. We were able to play with a few of them and they were lots of fun!

About The Party:

We had an absolutely amazing time trying out all of these wonderful toys. The kids had so much fun playing with each of the awesome toys. There was a great variety of toys. The kids never got bored and were great at sharing all of the toys. I can say from observing them playing for the 2 hours that they were here I can’t tell you what their favorite toy would be, as they all played with each toy equally. The kids at the party ranged from ages 2 to 7.

Here’s a little photo of most of our party guests! As you can see they couldn’t sit still for long as they were ready to play some more with their amazing new toys!

Purchase:

If you are interested in purchasing any of these great toys, head on over to ToysRUs and pick out the perfect toys for you Miles from Tomorrowland fan!

Win Breyer Color Changing Horse

Disclosure: The Ella Color Changing Horse from Breyer Horses was provided for me in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

My girls absolutely love being in the water. Between bath time and pool time, I’m surprised they haven’t grown fins this summer. They were so excited to receive Ella the Color Changing Horse to be able to play with in the water.

About Breyer Horses:

The Breyer Animal Creations brand is Reeves International’s largest line. Underneath the Reeves International umbrella, Breyer manufactures plastic, porcelain, and resin model horses, animals and accessories for play and collecting.

Approximately 20 different artisans handle each individual Breyer model from start to finish – a process, which, 62 years later, is still done by human hands, not machines. Even today, no two Breyer model horses are ever exactly alike!

About Ella Color Change Surprise:

Ella understands the importance of staying true to herself, so while she is full of energy and enjoys playing on her soccer team, she loves to pamper herself after a big game. A bath is the perfect way to relax and reveal her true colors! Kids are in for a surprise when they play with Ella’s hair. Put her in water and all her purple markings, mane, and tail turn pink.

Every child loves a little imaginative play. I know that my girls definitely fit in with that category. What better way than to have great imaginative play than with Ali’s Adventure Park.

They Maya group works to bring safe, high-quality and original toys to the market – toys that amaze, wow and dazzle long after the packaging has been opened. They are dedicated to applying new, cool technologies to longstanding play patterns.

The Science of Orbeez:

Orbeez are superabsorbent polymers – that means they are made of several smaller molecules joined together. With the addition of water they can grow to more than 100 times their volume. If you just place a tiny Orbeez bead in water and watch it swell! The water will be absorbed into the spaces between the molecules. These polymers were invented for agricultural use back in the 1960s to irrigate crops during times of drought. Today you will find superabsorbent polymers in diapers to prevent leaks, in food packages to absorb liquid and in floral vases to hydrate cut flowers.

Little Pnuts-Imagine.Create.Play – Review

I received the Little Pnuts Toddler Special Delivery package, in order to facilitate her review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

With a 3 year old and a 1 year old, I find myself always trying to find the perfect items for them to play with, and most importantly not bring more “junk” into my house. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would just send you the perfect items right to your house? Well guess what? I have found that perfect company. Little Pnuts is just that.

About Little Pnuts:

Melissa realized that there was a real need for high quality, all natural, non-battery operated toys. When her children were young she started researching and trying to find toys that would work and be great for her kids. She realized that the American toy market could not provide her with what she was looking for, attractive toys that would enhance every sensorial perspective toys that would provide challenges, toys that would engage while providing a sense of accomplishment. These toys needed to enhance gross and fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and help develop the focus and concentration.

Melissa then decided to turn to the European market and after a great deal of research, found exactly what she was looking for. Unfortunately, at the time, these toys were not easily accessible in the US, but she had family there that was more than happy to send them to her.

Beginning in 2012, Melissa decided it was time to combine her former skills and her newfound admiration for high quality educational toys to develop a company that would bring these toys to families in the US.

**You can choose one of 3 unique special delivery programs.
