Toy Review and Video: Little Tikes Waffle Blocks Mystery Buddies Surprise Toy! Christmas Wish ...

Little Tikes Waffle Blocks Mystery Buddies are fashioned after the iconic super large, super fun waffle blocks from my childhood! Now, your little tikes will be able to build towns of waffle block towers with Waffle Block Buddies! Each Waffle Block mystery blind box set comes with two waffle pieces and one buddy! The packaging is super minimal, so this is such a novel idea - the packaging is apart of the toy, and it lessens the carbon foot print for blind bags and blind boxes! Way to go Little Tikes! Not only can you find these adorable blind “boxes” filled with one mystery buddy, there are also new play sets that are out now! Each play set has its own fun theme like farm animals, or trains! Waffle blocks are now the number one toy on my son’s Christmas wish list! He even asked Santa Claus for Waffle Blocks for Christmas! 

There are 18 buddies to collect in all, and some characters that you can get include a Doctor, a red nosed reindeer, a lion, a cavewoman, a ninja, a peacock, and more! The possibilities are endless, because Little Tikes’ band of characters include fictional and fantastical buddies - from fairies to cave women, your little ones will have a fun and whimsical storyline for their play time activities!

The Waffle Blocks Mystery Buddies blind box sets are $4.99 each. The play sets range from $25 to $60. There is also a  bag of Waffle Blocks that includes a lot of fun colors, and are a blank canvas for your little one to explore and build, and that is around $20. 

This toy is a wonderful thinking toy that requires no batteries and a little imagination for hours and hours of fun. My four year old son has been playing with 12 waffle blocks for three hours now! Hopefully, Santa gets him some more to add to his collection!














Happy wassailing, and happy waffling!

Toy Review and Video: Spinmaster Luvabella Luvabeau Baby Doll Demos at Playfair NY Interactive...



We got the chance to have a hands on demo of the adorable Luvabella doll at the Spinmaster booth at Play Fair NY. The Luvabella doll is definitely one of the hottest toys of the Christmas and holiday season. If you find one, grab it, because these cuties won’t stay on the shelves for long! 

There are two types of dolls, Luvabella the baby girl, and Luvabeau the baby boy. M-Tubey played with the Luvabeau, and he said he was very cute - not cuter than his own little bro though! Luvabeau is a Toys R Us Exclusive - he is very hard to find! 

The Luvabella dolls mimic baby’s needs and wants - feed, play with, and teach your Luvabella baby just like a real baby without the stinky diapers! It comes with a variety of interactive accessories that your baby will need like a spoon, bottle, a lamby toy, pacifier, removable dress and bottoms.  Soothe your Luvabella with its pacifier, play and teach wour baby with its lamby toy, and feed your baby by using the spoon and bottle. You can even burp your Luvabella baby after a feeding. You can play peek a boo with the Luvabella doll as well as tickle her silly! Teach your Luvabella doll animal names and sounds with its lamby toy! Lull your baby to sleep, and rest your hand on his chest to hear his heartbeat. What a sweet experience it will be to watch your baby nurture and love their own baby! 




What makes this doll so wonderful is that it is truly an interactive experience, because she will learn from your little one. Baby will learn to babble to over 100 words and will eventually speak full sentences and phrases! The more you play with your Luvabella doll, the more she will learn! 





Not only do the Luvabella and Luvabeau dolls provide ample play time fun, the dolls also will teach your child patience and responsibility. Spinmaster is notorious for creating thinking toys like the Hatchimals line that learns from your children, the Luvabella line has that same tone. 

Luvabella retails for $99.99, but they are selling fast! There are two types available at www.spinmaster.com, so grab it while you can! Online retailers like Amazon already have the Luvabella and Luvabeau dolls for sale for nearly $200! Luvabella was voted Doll of the Year, and was a TOTY finalist! Also, this doll requires four C batteries that are not included. A good tip would be to buy some preemie sized baby clothes so your little one can dress their Luvabella dolls in different outfits. 

Happy shopping! Let me know if you found any Luvabella dolls in the comments below!

Toy Review and Video: Mayka Toy Block Tape by Zuru! Perfect for Brick Builders! Hottest Toy of 2017!



Turn your brick building world upside down with Mayka Toy Block Tape! Zuru toys was kind enough to send us a bunch of awesome toys to review! Among the loot was Mayka Toy Block Tape! We had so much fun creating a scene that can be upside down, sideways, right side up, curved, and more! The Mayka Toy Block Tape will allow your imagination to run wild! You can cut the toy block tape to conform to your lego brick scene.





We cut the strips to a size we liked and created our scene for some fun stop motion! This was our first time using the Mayka Toy Block Tape, but the learning curve was small! M-Tubey is four years old, and he mastered it in no time! The Mayka Toy Block Tape has a removable adhesive backing, simply stick your Mayka Toy Block Tape to any non-painted surface and let your creativity flow with each lego brick! Curve the tape to make “hula waves” like M-Tubey says, or stick to the inside of a shelf like we did. We also stuck the tape to the top of the shelf to make our lego mini figures to do flips and walk upside down.

Storing your Mayka Toy Block Tape is easy too! Once you’re done, simply remove your tape from your surface, roll it back up, and store it in its original packaging. Easy peasy!




We loved exploring this fun and imaginative toy! Mayka Toy Block tape will be the perfect stocking stuffer for any brick builder this holiday season! For more inspiration visit their YouTube channel and www.maykaworld.com. Mayka Toy Block tape won the Hot Diggity Awards 2017 for most innovative toy!
