The Fisher-Price Elmo Live Encore Brings an Old Favorite Back

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:10:54 +0000

There may have never been a more popular Sesame Street character then when Elmo was first introduced to the kids. It didn’t take long for Elmo to win a place in their hearts and the Fisher-Price Elmo Live Encore is only going to solidify his hold as one of the hottest toys of 2009. If Elmo isn’t under the Christmas Tree, parents are going to have to explain for Santa.

While Elmo Live was something incredible, the Fisher-Price Elmo Live Encore is about as lifelike as it gets. With all of the movements that Elmo is now capable of, you will swear that your child has a real live friend with him at all times. Elmo has never been this animated and the kids are going to absolutely love it.

Part of the fun of watching Elmo on Sesame Street is how he moves and acts when he tells a story. The latest version of Elmo brings Sesame Street right into your home as it is difficult to tell the different between the muppet on the show and the doll that your child is holding in their hands.

Elmo is 11x8x15 inches and weighs about 4 pounds. He is recommended for children 18 months and up and this is a case of the younger the better. Your child is never going to put this down and getting a toy like this at such a young age is something that literally creates a bond over the years. We all had our favorite woobie and whether it was a bear or a blanket, nothing could separate us from it wherever we went. Just going to bed or traveling in the car can simply not happen unless our little buddy is close by. The Fisher-Price Elmo Live Encore is sure to that toy during the Christmas 2009 season.

What is Elmo Live Encore without the Fisher-Price Elmo Tickle Hands

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:58:01 +0000

One of the great mysteries of life is why kids love to tickle and be tickled so much. There is no mistaking that laughter though and when a toy like the Fisher-Price Elmo Tickle Hands comes out, it definitely deserves some checking into. If this toy is half as good as Elmo Live Encore, it will be hard to keep on the shelves.

The Fisher-Price Elmo Tickle Hands are two oversized hands that feature Elmo’s face right in the palm. They fit right over your children’s hands and they are sure to be little terrors as they run around the house trying to evoke giggles from everyone in the house. Not only do they tickle, but the Elmo Tickle Hands have a few surprises in store.

When the activated hand touches a surface, the hands will vibrate. The fun really starts when they hear Elmo giggle right along with them and he may just even break out into a song or two. Before you know it, the whole family is dancing to the Tickle Hand Groove. In addition to all of this, there is also a great DVD that the entire family can watch to show them how to do the latest dance craze that Elmo is bringing out.

The only knock on these is that only one hand is activated for all of this. While it makes sense as you do not want to have dueling hands (in regards to singing, etc…), but it might be wise to let the kids in on this as they may think that the one hand is not working. As long as they understand that is the way they work, they are sure to enjoy this great new toy. Hopefully, you will manage to steer clear of your new little tickle monster.

The days of having still dolls has long since passed as technology has allowed the doll making industry to do some incredible things with the dolls that are coming out today. A perfect example of this is the new Dance Around Dora the Explorer Doll. This cute little doll brings their favorite TV show to life right before their very eyes.

Dora’s Crystal Kingdom Adventure is extremely popular among children and the Dance Around Dora is sure to be one of the best toys of the 2009 Christmas season. This is Dora like we have never seen her as she had donned a beautiful dress instead of her exploring outfit. She truly looks like a little princess.

This is a great interactive toy that will not only dance when your kids touch her necklace, but can also teach them the very steps that she is doing.

Art goes digital with the Fisher-Price Splatster

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:31:39 +0000

It would appear as though the days of getting a paint by numbers set or watercolors have long since passed us by. Toys like the Fisher-Price Splatster have taken art to the next level, and it is actually a welcome change. Instead of the home being covered from one end to the next with paints, crayons and markers, cleanup is as easy as turning off the TV.

When the Wii video game system hit the market, it brought to light a whole new idea for video entertainment. Instead of having to use a joystick, people are able to control games by merely holding a controller and creating motion. This has changed the way just about any video game company treats their games now. This technology has shifted down into children's games with things like the Fisher-Price Splatster.

Painting has always been a favorite pastime of children. Unfortunately, for most parents, this usually involves more time cleaning up than actual playtime for the children. With the Fisher-Price Splatster, the children can paint for as long as they want with no mess and no damage to any part of the home.

The game has three modes of play: spin art, splat studios and splat arcade. The game connects to your TV with no problems and is controlled with a wireless paint brush. Depending upon the mode that the child was in, they can create different artwork including of course, splat. If they were just a few years older and putting these creations down on actual canvas, you might be able to claim that they were the next Rembrandt.

It is always great for a parent when an exciting game comes out that doesn’t mean that the house will get destroyed in the process. It is also nice to know that some games can actually serve a purpose other than passing idle time. When a game like this comes out that the children will truly be interested in, it is a must to go under the tree during the Christmas season.

Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On: The Perfect ATV for Little Girls

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:25:54 +0000

Just because they are little girls does not mean that they don't have the same sense of adventure as little boys do. If little boys can get out and about on their Fisher-Price Power Wheels AT Rex, there is no reason that little girls can't give them some competition with the Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On.

The Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On is a great looking pink ATV that is just loaded with features. This is the perfect all-terrain vehicle for girls ages three and up. While the paint color may scream feminine, this is one tough ride that can handle any trip that they have in mind. As long as the batteries are charged, they are going to be in for the ride of their lives.

This tricked out ATV features four wheel suspension with automatic brakes. The two speed gear shift will give your little girl a sense of reality as she works her way through the gears to travel 2.5 mph or 5 mph. To keep things safe when they are traveling in reverse, the Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On only goes at the slower speed of 2.5 mph. It is big enough for two passengers as long as their combined weight is not over 130 pounds.

A word of caution to any parent, they need to make sure that their child can handle a machine of this caliber before letting them get on. Coming in at around 80 pounds, this can be a lot for some smaller girls to handle. We always advise that the parents give their child a quick course in safety to make sure that every moment that they spend on the Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On is a safe one and that nobody gets hurt. Now the only thing left to do is to mount up, turn on the ignition and start the great adventure.
