    Where’s That Chipmunk?

    Where’s That Chipmunk is a new game for children ages 3 and up that is a spin-off of the traditional game of hide and seek! It comes with a cute stuffed chipmunk that you hide. The object of the game is to be the first player to find him. There are 3 different ways to play but because our toddler is about to turn 3 we decided to only do the beginner game (there are beginner, advanced and team play rules).

    The Incredible Shrinky Dinks Maker

    We got to review the The Incredible SHRINKY DINKS Maker. I remembered making shrinky dinks in my oven as a little kid so I was excited to try this out with my 5 year old son. I was also looking forward to trying this out because it seemed a lot safer then how I did it as a kid in the oven.

  • Spy Gear - Spy Night Scope

    Spy Gear - Spy Night Scope

    Spy Gear is hot right now in the Casa de Vanek. We have an older pair of high powered night vision goggles from a few Christmases ago. They were big, bulky and expensive. When we received the Spy Gear Spy Night Scope goggles, I thought they would be expensive too, but they are super affordable at only $20.

    Hot Wheels Haul and Race

    My boys love cars, especially Hot Wheels. We received the Hot Wheels Haul and Race and they instantly got excited. This is no ordinary Hot Wheels toy, it’s a large semi with a ramp, storage area and even a button to let the cars fly.

    Hot Wheels Revolution Stunt Park

    I received a Hot Wheels Rev Ups Revolution Stunt Park from Time to Play with Jim and Chris. Upon arrival, I was just as excited as my twin 4 year old son’s to open the box and start playing! Assembling the Revolution Stunt Park was pretty easy. It took me about 10 minutes to set-up, and that was with trying to find all of the parts as my boys were playing with them!

    We saved this to give to my daughter for her 9th birthday. She is quite the Tom-Girl type and loves everything that looks or works like Legos. This is our first experience with the Blok Squad items and she was THRILLED when she opened the package.

    I was a little skeptical at first when I received this game cause we all know there are not many games out there that a 2 and 4 year old can play.

  • Hex Bug Nano Hive Habitat

    Hex Bug Nano Hive Habitat

    Hex Bugs, I have a love/hate relationship with this things. Mostly love, just hate when the boys forget to turn them off and we go through so many batteries! I received the Hex Bug Nano Hive Habitat and was delighted to see that it came with a Hex Bug Nano included. Good thing it did because we were down to only one or two Nanos left that had working batteries and I was fresh out of replacements.

    Matchbox - Spongebob Tub Adventure

    Who lives in a pineapple under the sea... Sing it with me! After being on Nickelodeon for the past 12 years I’m sure you know the words to it. My boys know every word to every episode of Spongebob. I have to admit, so do I. We are a family of Spongebob fanatics and were excited to review the MatchBox Spongebob Tub Adventure.
