December 1, 2015 by Kathryn 198 Comments

If you’re still hunting for the must-have Christmas gifts of the holiday season for boys, Hasbro has you covered with tons of great choices for little boys of all ages! From Transformers to Star Wars, Hasbro Canada has gifts for whatever hero your child is cheering on at the moment! Here are my top three gift choices for boys in 2015:

Best for Preschoolers – Playskool Heroes Super Hero Adventures Iron Man Armor Up Fortress Playset

Little heroes will love getting Iron Man suited up for adventure with this fun playset! When a hero is needed, kids simply place the Tony Stark character at the top of the fortress and then lower him into his suit so that he’s ready for action. With sound effects, cool lights and two different Iron Man suits, being a hero has never been so much fun. The fortress even has a cage for trapping bad guys! This playset is available for just $29.99 at stores across Canada. [Read more…]

Let Your Kids Blast Up Some Fun with BOOMco Toys from Mattel #BOOMcoBLAST

September 16, 2014 by Kathryn 32 Comments

My boys are always excited to check out the latest new toys and so when a large BOOMco box from Mattel arrived at the front door recently, Zackary and Benjamin were bouncing off the walls with excitement. This new line of blasters features fun soft tips that will stick to targets without damaging breakable household items.

Luckily, we are having a week of gorgeous weather here in Saskatchewan, so we headed outside to let the boys test out the blasters. The little CLIPFIRE blasters were especially popular since they were easy to load and had great range. After practicing with the target for a little while, the boys had a blast shooting the darts straight up into the air to see how high they would fly! [Read more…]

New HEXBUG Aquabot and Battle Spider Toys are Tons of Robotic Fun

May 29, 2014 by Kathryn 34 Comments

A few years ago, my boys discovered HEXBUG Nano, small mechanical robot bugs that use vibration technology to scoot around different tracks in an incredibly realistic manner. HEXBUG Nano bugs were a hit with children everywhere, but the company didn’t stop the innovation there! The HEXBUG company has recently created even more fun robotic creatures and they’re great choices for boys and girls alike.

My personal favourite is the new HEXBUG Aquabot robotic fish. The fish comes either on its own or with its own special tank and when water is added, it swims and dives around just like a real fish! To conserve battery life, the fish shuts off when removed from the water and also has an automatic shutoff feature that activates after five minutes. The best part is, this is one fish whose tank never needs cleaning! [Read more…]

Imagination Takes Off with the Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcave-Giveaway

December 18, 2013 by Kathryn 133 Comments

It’s hard being a preschooler and wanting to play with toys for older children. My youngest son was introduced to various superheroes by his brother, but most of the toys featuring those heroes are designed for older children. That’s why I love the Fisher-Price Imaginext line. Not only does it feature all kinds of great imaginative and interactive play sets for preschool children, there is even a special DC Super Friends line featuring popular superheroes!

Benjamin has always loved Batman, so I especially favour the Batman-themed play sets. The Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcave set features two figures, accessories and special activation discs that trigger effects in the Batcave for hours of entertainment. There’s even secret walkways, an elevator and a jail! And kids will love helping Batman zoom around to save the day on the Batwing motorcycle. [Read more…]
