My Christmas *Mini GIFT GUIDE*~

I would like to recommend these products for your Christmas gift buying. Our family enjoys these items and some of them are on the TIA (Toy Industry Association) safe toy list.
************
Fisher Price 3-in-1 Smart Sports pack Video gaming just keeps getting better and more educational. Fisher Price came out with a sports set that kids can actively play their favorite sports like golf, baseball, and tennis while they learn counting, addition, subtraction, upper & lowercase letters, spelling, shapes and more!
This set includes a golf club, tennis racquet and baseball bat that kids can play with while it is hooked up to the moniter/TV. Children control the on screen action with their wireless controllers. Includes a storage dock that keeps everything together. Requires 6 AA batteries (not included). Ages 3-7, $60.00 Fisher Price

Mythbusters Weird Water World from Elmer’s Products, Inc. SRP $19.99

SCRABBLE SLAM Card Game from Hasbro Games SRP $6.99

Three Musketeer Corinne Barbie
Barbie has a new movie out: Barbie and the Three Musketeers. It is a story about 17 yr. old Corrine, who travels to Paris in hopes to become a Musketeer. Meeting three friends along the way, they seek out to save the prince and make their dreams come true. Barbie has wonderful dolls available in celebration of her new movie. I love the Corinne doll that I got to review from Barbie and Mattel.com. Corinne Barbie transforms from a Princess to a Musketeer, just like in the movie. Corinne's beautiful gown and tiara turn into a Musketeer outfit, so she can protect her identity while saving the Prince! Her dress becomes a golden cape and her tiara turns into a mask!
Includes a glitter sword accessory, too. Ages 3 and up. $22.99 Mattel

UNO Moo! from Mattel SRP $19.99

Trio Building Set from Fisher Price $30.00

Roller Coaster Resort Playset

Polly Pockets are a great toy for little girls, and Polly Pockets just launched a fun Roller Coaster Resort for all the Polly Pockets to play and hang out. The roller coaster car climbs the escalator to the vista point with a waterfall slide and mountaintop pool. Girls will love bringing their Polly Pockets to the tropical paradise where Polly can swim in the pool, dine in the hotel dining room, and dance in the disco lounge. This set includes one doll and a pet.
Ages 4 and up, $49.99 Mattel

Fisher Price toys makes great toys~ think Christmas list

I am a big fan of Fisher Price products, and I remember investing many hours of my childhood playing with Fisher Price products. I am happy that my kids get to play with Fisher Price, as well. We were recently sent a few of the newer Fisher Price products to try out, and my kids really have a great time with these.
The Laugh & Learn Learning farm creates lots of giggles, and my kids are enjoying learning at the same time. This farm is a two sided barn that displays many options for kids to engage in. My kids love the Egg drop from the Chicken to her basket. The eggs are big enough for little hands, and fun for them to do something over and over (with a reaction in sound from the chicken or the barn). Plus, kids have a "garden" to tend to, pick the veggies, and sort the shapes.
Cole loves all the things that flip (like this story book and the light switch), open up (like the barn door and cow's mouth), spin (the pig's belly and the radio) lights up and plays music (several locations on the barn). There are several songs, like the ABC's, and different options for children to follow lead with learning sorting, counting, animals, and more.
Laugh & Learn Learning farm is geared toward ages 6-36 months, but my 4 1/2 year old loves it, too. I think this is a great toy, and there isn't too many pieces to clean up.
My kids give this Fisher Price toy two thumbs up! SRP$80.00

Another great Fisher Price toy is the Go Baby Go Stride Rite Lion! This toy is multi-purpose and is geared toward ages 9-36 months.
Madelyn (age 2 1/2) loves riding the lion. He is adorable, has soft (felt) hair, and his nose lights up playing music and giving a Roar! Kids can grab onto his ears for handles, and to steady themselves. This riding toy is designed very well, and it is very stable.
Not only is the Go Baby Go Stride Rite Lion a riding toy, it can be made to be a walker. I love this lion, and my kids are having lots of fun riding and walking with him!
Cole can walk behind this lion, but he chose to walk on his knees for the photos.
SRP $40.00, and requires 3 AA batteries. We give this Fisher Price toy two thumbs up, as well.
