Amazing that these kids can get so excited over Paw Patrol toys from episodes that haven't aired in Canada yet. They were so excited over the whale patroller and Chase that we had to set timers for sharing as there was so much fighting! It doesn't ever matter how many Paw Patrol toys they already own, the new toys are the best thing ever.
A couple of previously owned vehicles fit inside the patroller which is impressive considering that none of them are from the "Aqua Pups" line. Most parents can't afford to buy every single lineup for a kid's show so being able to mix and match is certainly a bonus. The biggest downside was that I had to place alllll of the stickers onto the patroller and this of course was a contributing factor for the multi-child meltdown as they want to play with toys as soon as they come out of the box!

Colgate Kids Toothpaste Cavity Protection, Bubble Fruit
If my kids had their way, they'd eat this stuff straight from the tube! Excellent choice for kids and has the needed fluoride. Definitely will be buying again and again.

My almost 4 year old, self proclaimed princess absolutely loved receiving this toothbrush. My son was actually sad that he didn't get one (even though he doesn't like pink!). The buttons are just easy enough for a determined preschooler to turn on and off. I just wish that the heads could be replaced. It seems so wasteful to throw out so much every three months. -

Irish Spring Mountain Chill Body Wash
I don't tend to like scented body wash but this one is so refreshing and pleasant. I'm not sure if there's actually a "chill" feel or if it's in my head from the scent! My kids are enjoying cuddling and smelling me.

My kids absolutely loved getting these "dragons". They've never had Bakugan before so they were amazed with how they "pop" open when you drop the "eggs". Unfortunately the smallest one broke within the first hour of playing but they still play with the one armed dragon so it's still a win. At first they kept bringing them to me to put them back into balls but eventually the 6 year old figured out how to do it on his own. He actually carries the red one with him everywhere in his pocket and even brought it in for show and tell! -

I've had a history of many cavities and crowns so I'm always worried about more dental visits.
I haven't used this mouthwash long enough to know if it's actually remineralizing my teeth but it tastes great. It also keeps my breath fresh for a long time!
I make a habit to use any mouthwash at least 20 minutes after teeth brushing so that I keep that fluoride on as long as possible!

Normally I avoid whitening toothpastes because of abrasiveness and increased sensitivity. Years of coffee stains have me changing my mind. This toothpaste tastes great, my SO commented on the flavour the first time he kissed me and immediately went to use some!
The tube is sadly made with a flexible metal? Foil? Rather than the thick plastic I like. This means that my SO is able to man handle my toothpaste and crinkle it all up, making it hard to use it all up.
I did not notice any increased sensitivity after using it regularly for a few weeks but my SO sadly did. I'll continue using it alongside our sensitive toothpaste to prevent it for me as well.

From the second my almost 3 year old saw the box, she was smitten! She knew instantly that it was Gabby and her cat (thanks Netflix haha) and was trying to play with it as I unboxed. The set looks great for display in its packaging but can be a bit of a pain to get out with all of the things to remove but that's just a minor gripe. My kid has been playing with the treehouse for hours every day and all the old favourite toys have been slowly introduced into the play. She of course saw that the treehouse can be attached to the big playhouse set and really really wants that for Christmas! There's a bunch of accessories like a tea set and a surprise. She knew exactly what to do with each accessory and where to put them! She absolutely loves the lightup feature but occasionally gets upset when Gabby doesn't fit inside the revolving door but at least the cat does. The playset is made of decent quality plastics, I could see it lasting for quite some time with the exception of maybe the vine/Zipline that the cat can slide down. (She'd still play with it if it came off!). -

The only complaints from the kids so far have been from the 2 year old because it's a little hard for her to put the figures on the vehicles. The 5 year old has no issues placing them and zipping them around.
The kids seamlessly integrated the figures and bikes into their current favourite toys that they choose everyday.
The quality of the figures and vehicles is great, doesn't feel like they'll break in a week! There's holes in the feet and back for display stands I assume. I think the ones on the back are far too large however for the kids who are actually playing with the figures.
My SO would have proudly displayed the box unopened if we didn't have any children, it's nice to look at and displays all the pieces well.
Overall it's a very cool set with endless opportunity for imaginative play for children.
