Mario kart K'nex

 

My boys got the Mario K'nex set for Christmas. At first they got a bundle from Target until we realized it was just a piece or section and not a full track, plus it had 2 pull back cars and 2 motorcycles (which we already had) and then an expansion pack for around $100. So we went to Toys R Us and found this one for $99.99 but it is a full and complete track. It came with two battery powered cars. If you buy the cars individually they are just pull back and release. The cars that come with the track are battery powered and go around and around the track. This track offers multiple obstacles like the fireballs. It is a HUGE set. It takes up a lot of space-luckily we have a basement so we can keep it together because it also takes a LOT of time and patience to put together. The kids love it. I would recommend rechargeable batteries because they go through batteries really fast. You don't really need the extra track pack or any other add-ons if you get the big track. By the time you buy an expansion track pack and a few of the obstacle tracks it just makes sense (for the price) to buy a set.

This one is only $59.99 at Toys R Us. It is smaller, takes less time to put together but still comes with 2 battery powered cars. It is Mario and Yoshi at the Finish Line

Disney Princess Bath Dolls

If your little one loves Disney princesses she'll love these bath dolls.  My two girls do!

Disney Princess/Prince Wedding Sets

I love these little dolls. The girls love to play with them. We have the castle. We have multiple sets and carriages. I like these sets because they come with a prince and princess. This is the only time I've seen Prince Eric. They are sold individually at Toys R Us (I've also seen them at WalMart) or in a set of three at Toys R Us.

Lego Duplo- Disney Princess

Oh my gosh!!! I was searching for Disney princess toys to post on the blog and found these! I am SO excited. My kid LOVE Lego Duplo blocks and now they make Disney princess blocks!! I am excited for Easter and birthdays now for my girls. Aren't these so cute!!!! I found them at Toys R Us.

FurReal Friends GoGo My Walking Pup

 

My kids LOVE this toy. My daughter got it for Christmas and it was a big hit with all four kids. It is an expensive toy (ranges around $60) and is usually cheapest around Christmas. My daughter played with it at a friend's house and immediately wanted one of her own. Her friends love it as well. It is a popular toy! It is white but it has stayed clean and it doesn't really shed much. It does bark or make noise on its own as the batteries are dying. . . There is an ON/OFF switch which is really nice! The buttons are easy for little ones to push and walk the dog. Very fun! It keeps the kids happy and they don't ask for a pet :) which makes me happy!!!

Toy Microphone

 

Another big hit in our house is this toy microphone I bought at Target. It is such a big hit that my 2 year old wanted her own for her birthday present. It plays music and other fun things but the fun part for my kids is you can record yourself and play it back. So my daughter loves to sing. So she will record a song she makes up and then listen to herself. Is Okideoke brand.

Toy Food

For my daughter's second birthday we bought her two baskets of toy food from Target. One basket had vegetables and one had fruit. Each basket came with a toy knife and cutting board and the food is plastic but Velcros together. It is the best. She loves to sit down with her basket full of food and chop the food over and over again! We love to sit and watch her play. The baskets are sturdy too so she can gather other toys or random things and carry them around the house. Good buy! Under $10 at Target.

Baby Alive Baby All Gone

This is currently both of my daughters favorite baby doll. My youngest daughter loves to feed the baby and the baby talks back to her. She says "thank you," "I'm thirsty," and "more please" and my 2 year old thinks it is the greatest baby doll!! I agree. It is a cute doll. The doll is smaller in size than some of the other baby alive dolls and easy to carry.

There are also additional clothing sets available that fit this doll as well as other Baby Alive dolls. So we have a dress and pajamas and the girls love to change the baby as well as feed her! 

Lego Super Heroes

I saw these toys at Target when I was wandering the aisles with my little ones. The boys were at school so they didn't get to see the new sets. When we told them about the new line of Lego's they were so excited and they went online so they could see them! Lego created a super hero line. They sell a batcave (which is what my son wants for his birthday now) and all sorts of other sets. My boys LOVE Lego's and so these are on their wish lists!!

Cinderella Carriage

So this is the carriage my daughter has always wanted. After I showed her the barbie carriage listed below I saw this one at Toys R Us. I immediately asked her if she liked this one better. She had her mind set on the barbie one but eventually I convinced her to like this one better. She has loved it. She puts her prince and princess inside and pulls them around everywhere.

Mario K'nex

I bought my two boys the Mario and Luigi k'nex motorcycles as a gift when my 5th child was born. It kept them entertained in the boring hospital. They are big Lego fans so I figured they would be so excited to build Mario and Luigi motorcycles and I was right! They loved them. So for Christmas they have asked for the Mario Kart K'nex track set. There are many different pieces available (different obstacles like on the video game) and an track expansion pack so you can build a track and race. You can also buy Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi carts to build if you don't want to buy all the different sets to build a track.

Light Saber

I am not a big Star Wars fan but I think these are so cool (probably because Van had one on the TV Show Reba).

These light sabers do not collapse and light up and make noise.

My boys asked for these for Christmas.

There is a $5 off coupon in the Target holiday toy coupon book which is good until November 23!!!

They are available in green, blue, and red!

Barbie Carriage

My daughter has wanted a carriage for her barbies for awhile now but I haven't been able to find one. Last week we were shopping at Target and saw this! She was so excited and immediately told me to add it to her Christmas list!

Disney Princess Toddler Dolls

These dolls are so precious! My mother in law bought this doll for my daughter for her birthday and she loves it. We picked Ariel but you can buy Snow White, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Belle, Tiana, or Sleeping Beauty. They are a step up from a baby doll and just perfect for my little girls. They even sell extra clothes if you want those as well. You can buy the doll by itself or in a set that comes with the doll a matching dress for your little princess!

Disney Princess Castle

I bought this castle for my daughter's 4th birthday. She LOVES it! She has all the little princess dolls and now they have a place to live! It comes with a lot of furniture and one doll. The reviews complain about the blue castle tops falling off and they do but my daughter doesn't complain. She just puts them back on after they fall off. She has enjoyed her castle!

New Batcave

This year my boys want the new and improved Fisher Price Imaginext batcave!! 

Christmas time again

I took a break from toy blogging for awhile. . . I have been busy. I had my 5th child this summer and I haven't been buying many toys lately. My kids have toys and they don't play with a lot of toys now that we are busy with school and sports. But they still insist on going down the toy aisle! Christmas is here again and they are back to asking for toys!!!

Easter Basket Fillers

Look in the seasonal department at the stores and you can find all sorts of fun goodies to collect for a "potty prize bag" or gifts for friends birthdays or to fill Easter baskets. It is always fun to go through the seasonal department to see what you can find (for example Target has the batman figures). Check it out!!!

Disney Princess Barbie dolls

This week at Target the Disney Princess Barbie dolls are only 29.99 for 7! They are normally 49.99 and the sale says "lowest price EVER." It is a pretty good deal when each doll is normally between 8.99-10.99 depending on what store you look at. This set includes the new  Rapunzel doll.

I'm back!!

So I took a big, long break after Christmas. I haven't bought many toys since then or seen any outstanding deals until now!!!!
