This is a fun and challenging new take on the Rubik's Cube! There are different colored maze tracks on the inside of the cube and a little silver ball. You start the ball on the start line and move it through the tracks by moving the cubes to line up the tracks. The tracks move numerically so you know which track to follow next. It's quite tricky and challenging because you have to keep the little ball on the track or start all over again. My 8 year old has a great time with this and it's a great toy to bring in the car with us or when we have to go somewhere and she needs to wait. My husband has always been a huge Rubik's Cube fan and can solve them fast. This new spin on the Rubik's Cube kept him challenged and he really enjoyed playing with it too. It's a fantastic toy to span the ages and holds up well. -

My kids enjoyed these a lot. There are two bottles that come with this, which was perfect for my two girls. One bottle already had beads that were grown. You could use the other bottle to grow a pack of beads. It took about 4 hours for the beads to grow. My girls really enjoyed playing with the grown beads as they have a wet and slippery feel to them. I didn't really like that the beads were constantly wet, as I felt like it would mess up whatever surface they were playing on. Therefore, I make my girls play with these only in a bin or bucket. To color these beads was easy enough, but I found that when I shook the bottle of beads that were already grown, the ink came out of the cap a little. I ended up having to take out half of the beads and only doing it with a half full container so this wouldn't happen. It definitely is a long process to do these, as there's a lot of waiting in between. But overall this was a fun activity for my girls. I probably wouldn't buy these again, as I'm not a huge fan of how wet they were. -

We have this game in the car, as it's fun to keep my girls occupied while on the go. We've played it waiting in the doctor's office or in the car for various things. It's fast and easy to play, so it's a great way to spend time waiting. I like that there are cards for beginner's and cards for advanced players, as my kids like to challenge themselves. My youngest is really into puzzles, and this game is a great way to encourage that. My girls like to challenge each other and see who can solves puzzles the fastest. It's great that they can challenge themselves and play on their own as well. -

My family LOVES these battling ninja bots! They provide us with hours of entertainment, especially on rainy days with nothing to do. Before battling, you pick out of the little weapons that come with this. Your ninja bot then will "battle" based on your movements, and know what weapon they are holding. You train your bot to play either with yourself or with another player. You then earn belt levels and your bot becomes better as you unlock new levels. My kids love this concept of "leveling up" and spend hours training their bots. The bots are hilarious and say lots of funny things and make silly sounds. My kids are always laughing out loud with these. These are well worth every penny and we've even gifted them to other friends, as they are so entertaining! -

I used to love playing this game as a kid and this new adult version brings all the fun back! I love that each game can be played quickly, in 10-15 minutes, so it doesn't take forever. You can pick your fate by determining your fated number through drawing a spiral and counting the lines. You then eliminate cards based on this number to tell your fortune. It's fun to play with friends when you want something to talk about or have a quick 15 minutes before dinner. Definitely gives my friends and I great conversation starters! This would make a great gift for the friend you don't know what to get, as it is so versatile. -

These Cosmic Candy Limited Edition Secret Snack Hatchimals are both fun and cute. My girls are obsessed with Hatchimals and this limited edition set brings more fun to the classic Hatchimals they already own. I love that there are 12 in this pack, because that way each of my girls can have 6 with just one pack. They especially loved that the eggs were different from the classic Hatchimal eggs; these eggs were actually reusable! Such a great idea so that there isn't a lot of waste after hatching! My girls always wanted to keep their broken eggs with their classic Hatchimals, and that'd drive me crazy. With these Secret Snack Hatchimals, the eggs can be reused and are part of the toy, which is awesome! You peel the sticker on each egg to get a clue about the Hatchimal inside, and then the egg can pull apart to reveal your Hatchimal. I also love that the egg carton can also be used as a storage and travel case to keep all the toys together. A really versatile toy that will add to any kids' classic Hatchimal collection! -

The Hatchimals Hatchtopia Life plush is super fun and cute! My daughter treats the egg like a special item and will carry it around carefully for days until she's "ready" to hatch it. These are just as simple as the small toy Hatchimals to hatch and easy for little hands. My daughter enjoys being a "mother" to the egg and she carries it in a small purse for almost a week before hatching. When she hatches it, she similarly treats the little plush like a baby and it's super cute to see her pretend in this way.
My daughter is a huge Hatchimal fan and has tons of the little figurines and play sets, so being able to have a large version in plush form is really cool for her. She loves the mystery of finding out which Hatchimal is inside the egg and I love the look of surprise she gets whenever she hatches one. This Hatchimal Hatchtopia Life even comes with an app to download and interact with. I let my daughter earn screen time to play on this app and she has her plush Hatchimal next to her the whole time.
I would highly recommend this to anyone with little ones because it's interactive, fun, and exciting for them to play with. The app is also a really cool plus for kids with tablets. This would make a really great birthday gift for any kid who you just don't know what to get for them. Definitely picking some up for presents!

My daughters are huge Hatchimal fans and were super excited for this Glitter Salon Playset. What they loved most was the inclusion of one Hatchimal plus an egg with a secret Hatchimal to hatch. One of their favorite things to do is "hatch" the Hatchimals, so including an egg with the playset was fantastic. This playset comes with accessories you can use on the Hatchimals, like a crown and head accessories. These accessories are easily stored in the little vanity that is attached to the playset, so all the little pieces can be contained. The Hatchimals have holes in the bottom so that they can be attached to the chair and in the glitter chamber. They even have holes on the tops of their heads to add the accessories, which is a really fun touch. There are stickers that come with this that you can use to decorate the salon. My girls think the coolest thing about this playset is that you get a small brush that you use to apply glue to the Hatchimals. You then place the Hatchimal in the glitter chamber, add glitter, and spin the Hatchimal to coat them in glitter. My kids just thought this was so fun!
My only complaint with the playset is that the glitter can be a bit messy. You have to empty the chamber and really clean the set well when you're done with the glitter because it can get everywhere. When the Hatchimals dry, some glitter occasionally comes off the figures, which can be super annoying for a neat mom to deal with. I only allow my kids to do the glitter when I'm around and on a designated table.
Overall, this is a fun playset, even if you choose not to let your kids use the glitter. It would make a great gift for a young girl who loves Hatchimals!

I had never heard of this Moonlite storybook projector, but was super excited when I received it for free to review. The installation and use is seamless and easy to follow. First you download the Moonlite app, open the app to insert your activation code, attach the projector to your phone (it gives you a bulls eye on your screen to see where to line it up), and then you sit back while the app does the reading and the images project onto the wall or ceiling. The app was extremely easy to set up and use and I had everything working within 6 minutes of opening the package.
The only thing you need to do is turn the projector dial to the different images when you swipe your phone to turn the page. The projector attached easily to my phone (I have a Galaxy S9 plus with a thick case) and caused no issues.
My favorite feature is that it reads the pages itself, because even though we read to our girls every night before bed, when you've had a long day and are tired, sometimes you just don't feel like talking! This takes the work out of bedtime stories PLUS makes it extra fun for kids. We are huge Disney fans, so we absolutely LOVED the 5 Mickey Mouse and Friends stories that were included.
My only complaint is that it was difficult to turn the projector dial to the next image without moving the projector and having to re-center it. It really only takes a second to re-center the projector, but is something that could get annoying after awhile.
Overall, this is SUCH a fun way to do bed time stories at night and way more interactive for my kids, with less work for me! I would highly recommend this because it is super fun!

I absolutely love the entire Crayola Color Wonder line. We use these markers and the color wonder paper at home and on the go. These are great to pack up for trips in the car because my little ones can use them unsupervised and they don't make a mess in the car. I love that they can be creative with these independently because I don't need to be watching over their shoulder making sure there are no messes made. These are great! -
