Merry Christmas

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and your child loves their new toys!!! I will be back after the holidays. . . like I said there are always deals to find and share!!! Merry Christmas!!!

DO NOT FORGET BATTERIES

Last year our boys and our nephew got GeoTrax train sets for Christmas and I thought they took AA batteries when they all took AAA batteries. . . Luckily my parents had a few but we had 3 boys which meant 3 battery powered trains and the airplane and we needed more than a few. So we had to set a few aside until after Christmas.

So don't make the same mistake I did. . .Make sure you have plenty of batteries of all sizes ready to go on Christmas. There is nothing worse than getting a fun toy and not being able to play it because you don't have batteries or you don't have the right size battery!!!

Lego Creationary

My sons got Lego Creationary for Christmas. They have had so much fun playing it. As a mom that is good to see but for me the game was kind of a let down. The idea of the game was so much more exciting than the actual game. My boys have loved playing the game. It is more fun for them to pick out a card and then build on their own without playing it as a board game. We did try and play and there is no time limit, some of the cards you pick to build are tricky, and the game left me lacking. That is my point of view and if you asked my boys they would definitely tell you differently. So parents don't get your hopes up and I'm glad I bought it on a pre-Christmas sale. It is fun for the kids to look at a picture and try to create something similar (it is a Lego version of pictionary) without the pressure of guessing or timing or points.

Christmas is almost here

Well I've taken a break from my blog so that I can spend time with my family preparing for Christmas time. I see that I have visitors from all over the country and I hope I have helped find toys for the special ones in your life :) I try to avoid the stores right now-they are crazy busy but there are always toys and deals out there!

Fisher Price Trio Blocks

I think Fisher Price Trio blocks are a lot of fun. We don't have these blocks but my kids have built fun things with them at my in law's house. They even sell fun sets like Trio blocks Bat cave and accessory packs.
(all sets are 25% off at Toys R Us right now)

Batman toys

Target is selling Batman figures for the Bat cave in their stocking stuffer section. Go check it out. If you need some more figures for your bat cave or if you need something fun for your kid's stocking this is a good chance to get them!
