WELCOME
WELCOME BACK TO THIS SHOW. YOU KNOW, WITH WEATHER LIKE OURS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE
TOYS THAT LET KIDS BLOW OFF
STEAM INDOORS OR OUT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
EDITOR IN CHIEF MELISSA
DEBARTOLO ROUNDED A GREAT LIST
OF INDOOR OUTDOOR TOYS AND I
EVEN LET MY OWN MUNCHKINS TEST
OUT A FEW.
SO WE'RE GOING TO KICK IT OFF
WITH SOMETHING PREHISTORIC.
SO THIS IS THE LITTLE TYKES T
REX DINOSAUR TRUCK.
SO THIS IS PERFECT FOR TODDLERS
AND THEY'RE GOING TO FEEL LIKE
THEY'RE ACTUALLY BEING PULLED
ALONG BY A T. REX.
HOW COOL IS THAT?
THAT IS SO CRAZY FUN AND I KNOW
MY SON LOVES DINOSAURS.
I KNOW MY DAUGHTER DOES.
SO I THINK THIS IS FANTASTIC.
THE SECOND ONE IS THE POP TO
PLAY.
WOW.
PLAY. WOW. WE YEAH I MEAN HANDS DOWN.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE TOY OF THE
YEAR SO FAR.
IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE
ONES.
IT'S EXTREMELY HARD TO GET IT'S
ALREADY SELLING OUT ON AMAZON
BUT BEHIND ME YOU'LL SEE I'VE
GOT THE RAINBOW SLIDE SET UP.
THERE'S ALSO A KITCHEN AND A
NURSERY AND A LITTLE BLUE
WORKING CAR.
CHOOSE FROM BUT BASICALLY THESE
ARE ENORMOUSLY SETS THAT KIDS
CAN HAVE FUN ON.
THEY CAN SLIDE DOWN THE SLIDE,
THEY CAN PLAY IN THE NURSERY
BUT THEY FOLD FLAT AND YOU
DON'T NEED TOOLS OR ANYTHING TO
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
IT'S TOO SIMPLE POPS AND IT
COMPLETELY FALLS FLAT SO YOU
CAN STORED AWAY UNDER A COUCH
OR IN A CLOSET.
IT'S LIKE THE PERFECT TOY FOR
KIDS TO PLAY ON AND THE PERFECT
STORAGE SOLUTION FOR PARENTS.
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN THE LAST
EIGHT YEARS?
I'M ACTUALLY LITERALLY STARING
PAST YOU AT OUR TOY KITCHEN
THAT NO ONE HAS PLAYED WITH IN
ABOUT MONTHS.
I LIKE THIS ONE OF THE WE DO IT
MY THING IS RIGHT THE WE DO
TRAMPOLINES.
WE ACTUALLY GOT ONE OF THESE AT
HOME AND THE KIDS LOVE IT.
YEAH ABSOLUTELY.
THERE'S TWO TO CHOOSE FROM.
YOU'VE GOT THE THREE FOOT
TRAMPOLINE WHICH HAS A NICE
LITTLE SAFETY BAR SO KIDS CAN
KIND OF HOLD ON WHILE THEY
BOUNCE AND THEN THERE'S ALSO
THE TWO AND ONE BALL PIT
BOUNCER WHICH I LOVE BECAUSE
YOU'VE GOT A BOUNCER ON ONE
SIDE YOU FLIP IT OVER AND IT
BECOMES A BALL PIT THAT HAS
FIFTY INCLUDED.
SO A GREAT WAY TO BURN OFF
ENERGY IS TO JUST LET KIDS
BOUNCE ON THE RIGHT AND I WILL
JUST GIVE PARENTS A NOTE
OF CAUTION SET TIME LIMITS
BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE
BIT OF FUN IN THIS ONE ONE
WANTS TO USE IT AS A BALL PIT
THE OTHER ONES USE IT AS A
TRAMPOLINE AND SO THAT MEANS
THERE'S EVERYWHERE THAT'S OK
BECAUSE IT'S SMALL ENOUGH TO
FIT IN THE LIVING ROOM WHICH I
LIKED A LOT.
YEAH, WHAT ARE THE SWINGING
BLUE'S CLUES SCOOTER?
I MEAN I LOVE ME SOME BLUE'S
CLUES.
THEY HAVE A SCOOTER NOW.
YEAH.
WHO DOESN'T, RIGHT?
BLUE'S CLUES AND YOU IT'S A
GREAT SHOW ON NICK JUNIOR FOR
KIDS WITH THE SWINGIN' BLUE'S
CLUES.
SCOOTER, YOU'VE GOT A REALLY
GREAT THREE WHEEL SCOOTER FROM
KID TRACKS THAT HAS BEEN TO
STEER TECHNOLOGY WHICH IS GREAT
BECAUSE IT'S
EASY
EASY FOR
EASY FOR THEM TO USE. IT'S SUPER EASY TO BALANCE ON
THE THREE WHEELS BUT THE MAGIC
HAPPENS WITH THE LITTLE ON THE
HANDLEBARS AND AS KIDS SCOOT
ALONG HER EARS AND HER LEGS ARE
GOING TO KIND OF WIGGLE BACK
AND FORTH.
SO IT JUST KIND OF ENCOURAGES
THEM TO KEEP GOING AND THEY
HAVE SOME FUN WITH THEIR FRIEND
BLUE BY THEIR SIDE.
THAT IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE
EVER SEEN.
OH MY GOSH WHAT A CLEVER WAY
OF DOING THAT.
AND I LIKE THE FEELING WHAT DID
YOU CALL IT?
LEAN TO TURN.
LEAN TO STEER.
YEAH.
SO RATHER THAN HAVE IT LIKE TRY
TO CARVE AND TRY TO HIT THESE
TOUGH TURNS THEY CAN JUST KIND
OF LEAN WHICHEVER DIRECTION
THEY WANT TO GO IN AND THE
SCOOTER KIND OF LETS GLIDE
ALONG THE NEXT TOY.
I HAVE TO SAY IS GREAT FOR ALL
AGES SO WE GOT THIS TO THANK
YOU AND MY HUSBAND AND I ENDED
UP HAVING AN EPIC BATTLE.
YEAH I MEAN A GAME
OF HORSESHOES IS A CLASSIC
OUTDOOR GAME BUT THIS IS
SWINGING SHOES AND IT REALLY
KIND OF MIXES THINGS UP A
LITTLE BIT BECAUSE YOU CAN HANG
THIS WHOLE PLATFORM FROM
ANYWHERE FROM A TREE FROM THE
HATCH OF A CAR MAYBE IF YOU'RE
CAMPING OR EVEN FROM A DOORWAY
IF YOU'RE PLAYING INSIDE.
AND ONE OF THE HALLMARKS
HORSESHOES ARE THOSE BIG HEAVY
HORSESHOES.
BUT THESE ARE SUPER FRIENDLY.
THEY'RE SMALL, THEY'RE LIGHT,
THEY'RE REALLY FLEXIBLE.
THEY COME IN DIFFERENT COLORS.
YOU CAN PLAY ON TEAMS OR JUST
KEEP TRACK OF YOUR HORSESHOES
AND YOU'RE JUST KIND OF TOSS
THEM ON THE PLATFORM AND LIKE
WHEREVER THEY LAND WORTH A
DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF POINTS.
BUT THE WHOLE THING SWINGS
WHILE YOU TOSS.
SO THAT'S THE ADDED CHALLENGE.
IT IS NOT THAT EASY TO DO.
AND I WILL SAY WHEN I FIRST
LOOKED AT THE PACKAGING AND I
SAW THE HORSESHOES, THIS IS
GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE BUT
THEY ARE SO RUBBERY AND SOFT
THEY HAVE THEY COULDN'T HURT A
THING SUPER FUN FOR THE ADULTS
.
I JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT I WAS
THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT THE TOP
TIER, THE REALLY HARD LITTLE
ONES.
I HAD TO SHARE THAT BECAUSE YOU
KNOW, SHOT DYNO ATTACK DOUBLE
BLASTER NOW AND I BROUGHT THIS
IN THE HOUSE MY HUSBAND HAS
RAISED HIS EYEBROWS A BIT BUT
KIDS ALSO HAD AN EPIC BATTLE.
NOTHING BROKEN SO FAR.
THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF FOAM
DARTS.
RIGHT.
DARTS. RIGHT. SO THESE ARE THE EXACT DYNO
ATTACK DOUBLE BLASTER SET YOU
GET TWO BLASTER'S IN THE PACK
WHICH I THINK IS AMAZING
BECAUSE TWO KIDS CAN
IMMEDIATELY BE PLAYING TOGETHER
.
IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR THEM TO
KIND OF BLOW OFF STEAM RUN
AROUND THE BACKYARD.
YOU JUST PULL IT BACK AND
LAUNCH AND IT COMES LIKE MY
FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS IS
THAT YOU ALSO GET THE DYNO EGG
TARGET.
SO I LOVE WHEN BLASTERS COME
WITH TARGETS BECAUSE KIDS ARE
NOT AS FOCUSED ON LIKE TRYING
TO BLAST EACH OTHER.
THEY'RE REALLY FOCUSING IN ON
HITTING THOSE TARGETS WHICH IS
A LITTLE BIT OF A LITTLE SAFER
PLAY PATTERN FOR THEM.
I ACTUALLY YOU'LL SEE THE VIDEO
IS OF MY KIDS.
I HAVE THEM START WITH THE
TARGETS.
I MEAN DIDN'T END THERE.
I STARTED WITH THE TARGETS AND
THEY WERE ACTUALLY VERY EXCITED
TO SEE THE EGGS OPEN UP.
AND I HAVE TO SAY WHEN I FIRST
GOT THE BOX I REALLY THOUGHT
THERE WAS JUST ONE BLASTER IN
THERE.
SO I WAS DELIGHTED THOUGH THAT
THERE WERE TWO.
AND ALSO A SIDE NOTE YOU SHOT
THAT DARK PRETTY PROFESSIONALLY
I MIGHT JUST ADD THEIR TOY
EXPERT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY
WHEN WE'VE LINKED ALL OF THE

EACH DAY TO GIVE AWAY.
