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…]

Have Some Retro Fun with Your Kids with Netflix Throwback Cartoons #StreamTeam

June 15, 2015 by Kathryn 66 Comments

When I was a child, I was a little bit of a cartoon addict. Despite barely being able to crawl out from under the covers in time for school during the week, I would pop out of bed like a jack-in-the-box on Saturday morning to watch weekend cartoons. In fact, I once woke up so early that the morning kid’s shows hadn’t even started yet!

Now I have two boys that love cartoons as much as I once did, and while some of the shows they enjoy are ones that are brand new to me, others are throwbacks of cartoons that I once loved when I was their age. At first I’ll admit that it took some convincing for me to sit down and watch a revamped version of one of my childhood favourites. But once I saw a few episodes of some of the new shows, I was hooked!

My personal favourite throwback cartoon is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When I was young, the Turtles first appeared as a Saturday morning cartoon series. A few years later, the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was released. While I’m sure I had been to the movies before, TMNT was the first movie I remember seeing in the theatre. And I enjoyed it so much that I managed to convince my mom to let me go back to see it three more times! [Read more…]

October 21, 2013 by Kathryn 86 Comments

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is easily one of my boys’ favourite new shows and in all honesty, I love it almost as much as they do. Nickelodeon’s hit series brings back so many memories of my own childhood, but the Turtles are even more talented, energetic and fun now. And for kids that can’t get enough Turtle Power, Nickelodeon and Paramount have released a new DVD of the series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ultimate Showdown! Here’s a brief synopsis:

It’s nonstop ninja action as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles face off against new enemies and old, including the Rat King, Cockroach Terminator, Baxter Stockman and more! All this, leading to the ultimate showdown against the Kraang and the Shredder himself!

My boys were thrilled when this package arrived and when they learned that the new DVD features twelve episodes on two discs, they were even more excited. They spent a comfortable afternoon watching the DVD and enjoying the new episodes as Leonard, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello battled enemies old and new. The DVD was a favourite for weeks after and I frequently heard Zackary and Benjamin reciting lines from the episodes in their games, a sure-fire way of knowing when my boys really like something!
