Kool-Aid Fun Fizz Review

Kool-Aid Fun Fizz

OK - I thought, right, another drop in and just mix it up trick. Amber was excited and she jumped on it the moment she saw it. I was pleasantly surprised when she did hers that it worked. It danced and fizzed and was really moving and then when it hit the top it really fizzled and you could hear it. So then came the taste test. Was it going to taste odd, flat or sweet... nope it tasted good! It was really good lol. It had a tingle to it at first cause I think I didn't wait long enough for it to really disolve (which it tells you to do lol).

I will definitely recommend trying them, it does stain though, just like real kool-aid. My finger is still red lol.

The real good video (the commercial lol)

Penelope Peapod PaperDolls Review

Penelope Peapod- this one is in the paperdolls pattern, there are several to choose from. I LOVE them. They remind me when I was little had we had a little basket that turned into a purse. I just got my hands on one to review. Very sturdy, soft cloth - the doll is too cute, with a soft squishy bean body. Just large enough for a 3yrs old hand to hold and be able to carry around. I hate when its an overwhelming size and they have to struggle to balance it. Not in this case - the basket is a decent size too - just perfect. I would say up to age 8yrs for this too. The basket itself has two pockets inside and a hood that pops up that goes away when in purse form so it doesn't bother it. They've thought of everything with this, I highly recommend it!

Penelope Peapod is a one-of-a kind, carry along toy that combines fun, fantasy, and fashion. In one quick maneuver even the smallest hands transforms the stylish handbag into a bassinet.

Penelope is ready to play in an outfit made of the same beautiful fabric as her handbag/bassinet.

Each peapod includes the wicker basket with interior side pockets and drawstring closure and a 6" doll.

I recommend this for anyone age 7 and up - perfect for those who are inquisitive and anyone who has projects on Rome!

ToyStory3 Action Links Stunt Sets Review!

ToyStory3 Action Links Stunt Sets Review!

 

The mega-hit film Toy Story 3 won over the hearts of kids (and adults) everywhere! This fall, you can recapture the magic of the film all over again with Mattel's Toy Story 3 ACTION LINKS Stunt Sets.

Inspired by scenes from the film, the ACTION LINKS Stunt Sets allow kids to re-live their favorite Toy Story 3 moments while piquing their imaginations to create new adventures. Kids can build their very own "Toy Story" universe or recreate iconic scenes from the film. The five distinct stunt sets are a blast on their own or can be linked together for the ultimate interactive action adventure.


Thanks to MommyParties and MomSelect we received:

• 5 Action Link Stunt Sets, 1 of each variety. Each set comes with at least one buddy figure.  The five stunt sets include: Evil Dr. Porkchop Attacks, Jessie to the Rescue, Buzz Saves the Train, Sunnyside Breakout Deluxe Playset, Junkyard Escape Stunt Set

PLUS each of our guests received Buddy Packs - 2 figurines for each pack.

 I've shown you each one below and a video! There are no cons with this, for me its all pro's - they have to use their imagination, its not hard to set up for kids to do without parents, no batteries required!, very durable, and they can be used alone or connected together. If you want to add more figurines - the buddy packs are available in all kinds of sets to choose from. The kids played with those just as much as the playsets!
