New Toys 2021 Schleich bayala, Dinosaurs, Wild Life | The Magic of Storytelling Comes to Life with Schleich Figurines




Last year at Toy Fair 2020, I visited the Schleich booth where they were celebrating their 85th anniversary and they illuminated the Power of Imagination! Schleich has continued this precedent of imaginative storytelling with their latest additions to their themed lines. All of Schleich's realistically detailed figurines and playsets can be purchased directly through Schleich or on Amazon. Visit a Schleich flagship store to experience the magic of Schleich in person! 









Back in 2020, the magic of storytelling with Schleich was also paired with the beautiful toy photography of Mitchel Wu. Have you seen his work? He took the play stories from kids and translated them using Schleich’s figurines! Schleich truly has played a large role in my own children’s lives, and seeing that so many other children are inspired through play was certainly heartwarming! I was sent some new Schleich figures to help move stories along through play, and we happy added them to our Schleich collection. 





Magical interpretations of childhood stories by photographer, Mitchel Wu. 




Check out the latest additions to Schleich lines! 


The magical world of bayala® brings the world of dreams to life! There are no limits to your desires, and the bayala horses and fairies along with detailed playsets help bring the magic of storytelling to our own realities.  The world of bayala was brought to life on screen with the new movie The Fairy Princess & the Unicorn, originally known as Bayala: A Magical Adventure and these Schleich figurines below are the perfect addition to recreate key scenes! You can also find playsets and larger scaled bayala unicorns to add to playtime!

Sometimes she blows flower pollen into their noses to make them sneeze. Her flower tattoo is as cheeky as she is. Age: 5-12 | Amazon $4.99


 




Rajana the adventurous unicorn is one of six sparkling foals that can be recognised and told apart by their cute flower tattoos. They live together in the beautiful, magical flower fields of bayala®.

Age: 5-12 | Amazon $4.99







Elany the proud unicorn is one of six sparkling foals that can be recognised and told apart by their cute flower tattoos. They live together in the beautiful, magical flower fields of bayala®.

Two bumps at the eyes and a large horn on the nose were made of bone. They were used either in combat or to deter rivals. On its back were also numerous spike-like bones. The many bumps and plates gave it its name: Ceratosaurus means “horned lizard.” Age: 4-10 | Amazon $19.99

A really tough lump. The Rock Beast from Schleich® Eldrador® Creatures lives in the inaccessible, rugged mountains of the Stone World. Its front legs have powerful and razor-sharp claws that let it effortlessly scale steep rock walls. Not even the slightest movement escapes its toxic green eyes – which is why every intruder immediately attracts the attention of the dangerous loner. Once an enemy is discovered, the Rock Beast picks up the chase. If it comes to a fight, the four-legged monster is well equipped: Its neck is covered in strong armor and can withstand any attack, no matter how violent. But that’s not all – on its head are four horns made of magical crystal that can be the downfall of enemies. One touch of these sparkling greenhorns is all it takes to turn the opponent to stone.

AWESOME NEWS! NY GOV ANDREW CUOMO Announces NY Theme Parks to Open LEGOLAND New York Resort 2021 Releases Statement


Everything awesome is almost here! Today Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that theme parks will be able to open under New York State guidelines making way for the LEGO brick road leading to LEGOLAND New York Resort! LEGOLAND New York Resort will be opening this year as planned (again!).



Credit: LEGOLAND® New York Resort


Theme Parks as a whole have suffered greatly due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. With immense job loss, construction on new parks and lands for parks worldwide went to a standstill. LEGOLAND New York Resort, which was slated to open in July 2020 decided to wait until 2021 for the grand opening. Now, we have reason to celebrate as this was a great move on LEGOLAND's part. With Governor Cuomo's recent announcement that theme parks will be able to open in March and April under specific guidelines. Starting March 26, indoor amusement parks and entertainment centers can open at 25% capacity.* Outdoor theme parks can reopen on April 9 at 33% capacity.** Keep in mind that these openings are under guidelines to maintain social distancing, mask-wearing, frequent disinfecting must be done, and more to ensure that COVID-19 stays at bay and under control allowing for New Yorkers to start going back to normal pre-COVID times. 


If it were not for this pandemic, LEGOLAND New York Resort would have already been operating for nearly a year and readying for the hotel portion to open. With this news, this is a win for LEGOLAND New York Resort and LEGOLAND fans! LEGOLAND New York Resort will be opening this year and will become the first theme park to open in the Northeast in more than four decades


Divisional Director, Stephanie Johnson of LEGOLAND New York Resort said: 

 
“We are thrilled with Governor Cuomo's announcement for the reopening of family attractions, including outdoor theme parks. This means LEGOLAND® New York Resort will be able to celebrate its grand opening this season as planned and we look forward to sharing more details soon.
 
Our first priority is always the health, safety and security of our guests and our team. We are awaiting further guidance from New York State on specific safety and operating procedures, which we will follow alongside all federal and local health and safety guidelines.”

You can pre-order LEGOLAND New York Resort Vacation Vouchers from their merchandise website. Guests can apply this credit to their stay. Let's get excited, everyone; a fun, thrilling, and relaxing LEGOLAND vacation is not that far away!

Map of the LEGOLAND New York Resort opening in Goshen, New York this year!

The much-anticipated LEGOLAND New York Resort Theme Park will feature 150 acres of LEGO brick goodness. Workers tirelessly worked through this pandemic to bring LEGOLAND New York Resort to life. Just 60 miles away from NYC, we are ready to have an adventure up to majestic Goshen, NY! The opening of LEGOLAND New York Resort is promising the jobs of 1,000 Model Citizens - that is a lot of people, and great growth for Goshen and the surrounding areas. I’m a city girl myself, but I spent every summer in Upstate, New York - it is nice for the countryside of NY to finally get recognized and be put on the map! 
LEGOLAND New York Resort will feature seven LEGO-themed lands like LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Friends, LEGO Kingdom, and more! The global debut of the LEGO Factory Adventure Ride will be a great attraction to make this grand opening a blast!

Awesome awaits! 


We have been waiting, patiently, and cannot wait to get up to Goshen, NY to visit LEGOLAND New York Resort!

Check out my YouTube video where I shared the unveiling of LEGOLAND New York Resort. I am so excited to share this, as a mom, New Yorker, and a LEGO Brick Fan, LEGOLAND New York Resort is truly a place we will be visiting for years to come! 



You can also check out the official LEGOLAND New York Resort YouTube channel where they post helpful videos featuring the LEGOLAND New York Kid Reporters sharing the best photo spots, best things to do in each land, and more. Get amped up, because 2021 is going to be awesome! 


About LEGOLAND New York Resort

Opening in 2021 as the first major theme park to grace the Northeast in over four decades, LEGOLAND New York is located just outside NYC in New York's Hudson Valley. A multi-day destination for families with children ages two through 12, the theme park features 7 different themed lands and will offer never-before-seen rides and experiences, including the global debut of the LEGO Factory Adventure Ride. Construction is also underway for the LEGOLAND Hotel, the first and only LEGO-themed hotel in the Northeast. The 250-room is specially designed for families, with imaginative LEGO features and themed play areas everywhere you look – and all just steps away from the LEGOLAND New York Park! Families can choose from four completely themed rooms (including Pirate, Kingdom, LEGO Friends and LEGO® NINJAGO® themes!)
