It’s Play-time! (A Giveaway)

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on September 25, 2008

Kids with their toys… Keeping busy for hours! Below you will see one of each of my kiddos’ new favorites. All of them are available at your local retail outlets.

I have to say that just after receiving the fabulous toys mentioned below my twins decided, all on their own, to clean out their bedroom and give some of their toys to kids who don’t have any. Even in the midst of hearing “mine” and “go away,” I realized that my kiddos really do have loving and giving hearts!

BRIGHT BEGINNINGS GIGGLE BALLS
(RUSS BABY/Newborn)

Round we go! Noah has a ball with the Bright Beginnings Giggle Balls. These super squishy Giggle Balls are sure to tickle any baby’s fancy. Surrounded in plush, these ball-shaped animal friends are charmingly cute and squeezably sweet. Just give your new fuzzy friend a hug and listen for the giggling sound. The only down-side is that there is no OFF switch. Collect all four including Puppy, Pig, Kitten or Chick.

CLIPO CREATIVITY TABLE
(PLAYSKOOL/18 months +)

Ben is really in to building and creating things. The colorful CLIPO CREATIVITY TABLE playset is the perfect base for him to create and discover. Compatible with all CLIPO creativity sets, the table features textured surfaces for anchoring CLIPO creations, moving platforms, a shape sorter, a drop slot and built-in storage. I enjoy building on the three circular, with Ben… We like to watch the motorized circle send our CLIPO creations spinning round and round.

HELMET HEROES
(PLAYSKOOL/3 years +)

Josh likes to pretend they have big boy jobs. With the PLAYSKOOL interactive HELMET HEROES role play sets he can race to the rescue playing policeman. The Policeman HELMET HEROES set features a realistic-looking helmet with colorful lights and familiar sounds, and a microphone so everyone can hear Joshbroadcast his adventure. The HELMET HEROES policeman set comes complete with a handheld motorcycle ‘driving’ device so my little law-enforcer can go on patrol. There is also a HELMET HEROES racecar driver set, which features a steering wheel ‘driving’ device so your little guy can enjoy a day at the races.

FURREAL FRIENDS TUMBLES, MY ROLLOVER PUP
(HASBRO/4 years +)

Julia has fun with her new FURREAL FRIENDS TUMBLES, MY ROLLOVER PUP… He can’t wait to show off his new tricks! This adorable little pup “came to life” and wiggles his body just like a real dog. TUMBLES, MY ROLLOVER PUP is one friendly dog! Julia can even hold TUMBLES up to her faces and press his back sensors, and this loveable pup will snuggle and nuzzle her to show his affection. The more Julia pets TUMBLES, MY ROLLOVER PUP, the more relaxed he will become, eventually going to sleep. Better than a real dog, but kinda freaky!

NERF N-STRIKE VULCAN EBF-25
(HASBRO/6 years +)

The NERF N-STRIKE VULCAN EBF-25 blaster is a 25-dart belt-fed fully automatic blaster that Ray and the boys are thrilled to shoot! This impressive blaster is top-of-the-line for mission supremacy, and comes complete with a fold-up tripod to steady their aim, 25 sonic micro darts that whistle through the air when launched and a 25-dart belt. You better watch out when the twins pull this baby out… Our living room turns in to a war zone!

NERF PEYTON MANNING ROCKET PASS FOOTBALL
(HASBRO/5 years +)

Light up the field and the end zone with the NERF PEYTON MANNING ROCKET PASS football. Developed with all star quarterback Peyton Manning, the nose of this football lights up when a tight spiral is thrown to let the quarterback know they’ve tossed a great pass. As the NERF PEYTON MANNING ROCKET PASS football sails through the air, the glowing spiral nose will help the receiver make the catch. It’s time for FOOTBALL!

You can see all of the above toys in action on Good Day Sacramento!
