Zoobles Spring to Life: Teesha and Domnino Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My kindergartner (daughter) loves these Zoobles, and we've been collecting them over a period of time. I would advise doing some comparison shopping to get the best value for your money (we always look out for store discounts and coupons). Anyway, what are Zoobles? According to the product website, Zoobles are "collectable, colorful characters that pop open when placed on their magnetized 'Happitat'." In the Zoobles world, there are three kingdoms Petagonia, Azoozia, and Seagonia. In addition, there are Zoobles categorized according to their rarity, i.e. Wal-Mart exclusives, Target exclusives, Toys R Us exclusives, and also just plain common Zoobles. There are also special edition Zoobles such as "fuzzy" Zoobles, "shiny" Zoobles, double packs, and those that comes with special edition tins, and also in playsets.
The individual Zoobles (sold separately) can represent all sorts of creatures such as elephants, octopi, dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. Zoobles are great for imaginative play and my five-and-a-half year old daughter can spend hours entertaining herself by coming up with storylines involving her Zoobles. They are cute, and they encourage imaginative play, plus they make excellent collectable toys! Not for really young children though as they are magnetic, and can pose a choking hazard.

Create-A-Scene Magnetic Playset: Construction Site Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This playboard is a great play-value-for-money purchase. I bought this for our son when he was 18 months old, to use on a long plane journey and subsequent vacation. He loved it, and it continues to be one of his favorite playthings. It fits well on an airplane tray and comes in handy in restaurants to keep a busy little hands happily occupied. My son also uses it as a playmat and mixes his diecast vehicles in with the magnetic ones. The magnets aren't overly strong, so do be forewarned that with a young toddler, pieces occaisionally slip off the board...this is only a concern in an airplane/restaurant, where you might leave one piece behind.

Zoobles Cat and Mouse + Happitats (Colors Vary) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Walking through a local store I happened across these cute little figures and well... being me I jumped on them! About two hours and several bills later I sat at home to enjoy these at my coffee table.
First of all Zoobles are some kind of wonderful crossbreed between Littlest Pet Shop and Bakugan. Little creatures composed of springy parts that fold into a small ball, they turn back to a critter when placed on their included dwelling (they're eyes even move!). Their decorations fall somewhere between groovy-disco and a Mexican sugar-skull, with small hollows even molded in which adds to their delicate look. Well, I say "look" because I'm not going to break mine to test their sturdiness, sorry. As always, I say obey the age recommendation (4+ years).
Now the fun part! playing with these is guaranteed fun, as balls they roll, when placed on their "happitats" they spring up instantly. I picked up about eight different molds, and all look at least vaguely like the creature they're supposed to. These two are a cat and mouse pair, which makes for a good beginning set.
So Positives: Cute, intricate, colorful, various animals, numbered for easy collecting, made for creative play. :)
Negatives: Possibly fragile, could have included a game aspect (like Bakugan) but doesn't, has metal springs that can rust if you submerge them,
Overall, I'm loving them, and I'm betting they'll be a big holiday hit this year. If you're uncertain about them I'd suggest you go see them in person, they're absolutely charming! just make sure the recipient kid treats their toys gently, they do feel a bit fragil

Zoobles Razoo's Treehouse Playset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I admit I wasn't sold on some of the other Zoobles playsets, except for this and the Zooble home playset. My kindergartner (daughter) loves these Zoobles, and we've been collecting them over a period of time. I would advise doing some comparison shopping to get the best value for your money (we always look out for store discounts and coupons). Anyway, what are Zoobles? According to the product website, Zoobles are "collectable, colorful characters that pop open when placed on their magnetized 'Happitat'."

There are also special edition Zoobles such as "fuzzy" Zoobles, "shiny" Zoobles, double packs, and those that comes with special edition tins, and also in playsets.
My daughter loves this playset as there's a lot an imaginative child can 'conjure' with all the little nooks and crannies in this playset, e.g. the ice cave, slide, mirror, a pole that Zoobles can twirl down, tree chair, hammock, and an assortment of tiny accessories. This playset would complement the individual Zoobles (sold separately) which can represent all sorts of creatures such as elephants, octopi, dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. Zoobles are great for imaginative play and my five-and-a-half year old daughter can spend hours entertaining herself by coming up with storylines involving her Zoobles.

Melissa & Doug Magnetic Pretend Play - Jack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son loved his Dress Up Joey so I thought this would be the perfect companion for Joey. It really is great though Jack mostly just wears his hockey gear. These are really great and kind of a nice "quiet time" toy.
2 complaints:
1) Jack is not quite the same quality as Joey and is already starting to show wear even though he's much newer.
2) It would be awesome if both "dolls" were in the same pose and able to wear the same clothes. My son is not yet 3 and he gets aggravated with the fact that if he puts the wrong clothes on they don't fit quite right.
If you are choosing one over the other go for Joey unless your kiddo is a sports nut.

Toy Vault Black Knight Plush Toy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for a friend of mine and he's crazy over Monty Python stuff so this was an obvious hit with him.

This poor fellow needs a hand... or is it a leg? It's time to have fun with dismemberment! From Monty Python's The Quest for the Holy Grail, comes this 14-inch Black Knight Plush. He features amusing details from the very special universe of Monty Python, including Velcro-assisted memberment and dismemberment. In the process of defending his territory, your knight may occasionally part with one or all of his limbs. Don't panic! This is a natural defense mechanism on the part of the knight, and rarely fatal. This guy is one sure way to get a leg up on your friends!

Zoobles Dog and Turtle + Happitats (Colors Vary) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 5-year-old has fallen in love with Zoobles and in a few weeks he's already acquired several as rewards for good behavior and keeping up with school work. For being fairly inexpensive, they can be quite fun (for both of us!) to play with together. They are adorable and my little lover of all animals is really enjoying them. He puts them to bed at night in each of their little homes with their eyes closed, and the first thing he does when he wakes up is "wake up" all his Zooble pals. He can play with these for quite some time and loves to act out stories with them. Aside from the bright colors, I wouldn't consider these to be "girl" toys (I hate putting such labels on toys!) but I've noticed I'm the only parent with a son checking out the Zooble aisle! They're just little animals. They are very animated and a lot more fun than traditional collectibles. My only advice is, beware if you have small children in the house who are still in the stage where everything goes in the mouth. These are the perfect size for choking hazards. I have 2-year-old twins and I am always vigilant to make certain the zoobles aren't left within their reach. The carry case is a nice addition for this and is a cute home for the critters as well. That said, I also recommend shopping around. I love Amazon, though their prices on all of these Zoobles are marked up quite a bit over what you'd pay at Wal-Mart, Target, even Toys R' Us is cheaper. Lots of sales this time of year too, so save your money and shop local if you have kiddos who are into these little guys!

Shure Best Friends Pocket Dolls Dress-Up Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 5-year-old daughter received this as a gift several years ago and got many many hours of fun out of it. It is easy to take in and out of the plastic carrying case, which takes up very little room, and is a great toy to take along on trips -- it kept my daughter entertained during her brother's music lessons and at other people's houses. She didn't need any help playing with it -- a big plus! Over the years, we have lost one of the dolls, and probably some of the smaller costume pieces as well, but there are a LOT of outfits included so you don't have to worry that one lost shoe or hat is going to spoil the fun. If I had found this earlier, there are many little girls I would have given it to as a present!

Melissa & Doug Maggie Leigh Magnetic Dress-Up Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If your little one isn't quite ready for paper dolls or fashion dolls, magnetic dolls like this one can be a lot of fun. I have fun playing with my daughter with this doll. She has several mix & match options (shirts, skirts, pants, dresses, shoes). She also comes with a stand.
The pieces are easy for my three year old to hold. She also enjoys sorting the pieces, matching the shoes, etc. It is very easy for her to dress the doll (unlike a Barbie, for example) and once dressed, she plays with the doll.
The set also stores all of the pieces with a durable clear plastic lid. You can store it on-end, like a book, and not worry about losing the pieces or the set opening.
There are other skin tone available for this doll. The clothes are slightly different but the poses are the same so you can interchange the pieces. I think my daughter's getting another of these dolls very soon.

Melissa & Doug Joey Magnetic Dress-Up Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 2 1/2 year old doesn't get enough of this toy. He loves to change to outfits and will stay entertained for anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes playing (a long time for this age group). Joey is a great addition so that little boys can play with dress up dolls without having to use girl figures, and he also enjoys the different costumes and pretends with us each character. For the price it is great. The only thing is that if he drools on it, the paper becomes soggy so be careful if your child is a drooler.
