Hasbro Has the Hottest Holiday Gifts for Boys-Giveaway

November 25, 2016 by Kathryn 159 Comments

Every year when Christmas rolls around, my boys make a long wish list of all the gifts they’re hoping to find under the tree. And every year, there are fun-filled toys from Hasbro on that list! Hasbro has so many brands that my active boys love and if you’re on the hunt for the best Christmas gifts for your little men this year, these are my top toy choices!

NERF N-Strike Mega Mastadon Blaster

This battery-powered blaster is sure to provide hours of fun both indoors and out. My boys love the challenge of hitting a target with the bouncy NERF darts, so I’ll often set up a paper target outdoors and let them blast away to their heart’s content. This blaster is especially fun since it doesn’t use hand pumping to build air pressure. The blaster features a rotating drum that holds 24 NERF darts and motorized blasting action. When cold weather has my boys wanting to stay indoors, bundling them up, snapping on some safety goggles and pulling out these blasters is a sure-fire way to ensure they’ll get fresh air and exercise!

TMNT Fans Will Love the Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Truck

November 1, 2016 by Kathryn 44 Comments

There are some things my boys enjoy that I don’t understand at all. Their obsession with watching other people play video games on YouTube is something that goes right over my head. And their love of jump scare games completely confuses me.

But there are some types of entertainment that we can all agree on, and one is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! The mutant superheroes were favourites of mine when I was a child so now that they’re back in action, I couldn’t be happier to see that my boys love them just as much.

The DVD release of the newest TMNT movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, means that there are even more fans of Leonardo and his crew these days, and if you’re starting to hunt for that perfect gift for your favourite Turtles fan, Mega Bloks has just what you’re looking for! The Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Truck Building Set features the Battle Truck from the movie, three TMNT figures and so much more! [Read more…]

Betty Spaghetty Dolls and Little Live Pets Lil’ Frogs are Hot New Toys this Fall-Giveaway

October 27, 2016 by Kathryn 128 Comments

Looking for the hottest new toys for fall fun this year? Look no further! Just in time for the holidays, Little Live Pets and Betty Spaghetty have released some great new options for boys and girls alike. I’ve been a fan of the Little Live Pets line for ages now and every year, the company manages to expand on an already great collection to add new and fun animal toys for kids. This year, Little Live Pets is introducing the brand new and adorable Lil’ Frog that can hop and swim!

With two boys in the house, it goes without saying that this was one toy I knew would be a hit. The beauty of Little Live Pets is that they let kids experience a bit of the fun of having a pet, without us poor parents actually having to worry about making sure a live animal is fed and housed safely. The adorable Little Live Pets Lil’ Frog is the perfect example of that. It’s quite a bit bigger than a real frog and comes with fun accessories including its own floating lily pad (making the frog a perfect bathtub toy) and an aquarium. It’s the next best thing to having a real pet animal! [Read more…]

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…]

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…]
