Fisher Price selected my son for a very special mission!

My son was assigned a very special mission last week from our friends at Fisher Price. His mission was to play and discover all of the ins and outs that the Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcave has to offer. He took this assignment very seriously right from the get go and assigned his Daddy as his right hand man to help in the task. My hubby couldn't refuse the opportunity to play (after all it was Batman) and so they both began eyeing up the various features that revealed hidden elevators, side doors and secret portals.

You could hear the squeals of delight as they discovered how to attach batman to the hook line and raise him through the portal or peeking through the draw bridge to check and see if batman was on his way to the batcave riding his super cool batcycle. I think both of them agreed that pressing the button to launch the grappling hook from the cannon was the best part. My son would do the count down  3-2-1  and then screamed  Blast OFF at the top of his lungs as it soared though the air! The both of them were so absorbed in making up stories about how Batman and Robin were saving the world from the villains and planning their escape routes if any of them made it past the draw bridge that they didn't even realize that an hour had passed by and it was time for dinner.

The feature I love the most is that all the accessories pack up neatly  into a closed carry case that is portable for us to take over to share with our friends in order for a new adventure to begin!

Wheelies Stand 'n Play Rampway is a Big Hit in our household!

momstown Milton was lucky enough to be selected as a product tester for the Fisher Price Little People Wheelies Stand 'n Play Rampway.I was super excited when I found out that I had been chosen since I knew that my son would be over the moon about anything to do with cars and speed! The rampway was very easy to assemble and once together, this 2 foot high rampway was nearly as tall as my son!



As soon as he laid eyes upon it, my little guy wasted no time in collecting all of his little people cars that he owned and grabbed daddy's hand yelling "Race Daddy, Race!". You could just hear the excitement in his voice and see the eagerness of wanting to play by the way he tugged on my husband's arm.They would line up all of the cars at the top and then watch in anticipation to see which car would make it down the rampway first.



After a few runs, they would make a pit stop to fill up the gas and get a a quick tune up completed. The sound effects enhanced the experience and made it even more real for this curious toddler. He wanted to test out every aspect of the toy. They loaded the cars on the lift and watched it go up and down, pulled into the drive thru for some burgers and fries and of course had to stop at the donut shop for dessert! Next they took a spin over to the zoo to check out the animals and a stop in the park to play some soccer. Then the fun began all over as they returned to the top of the track to start racing again.





Thank you Fisher Price for making such a great toy that engages my son on an ongoing basis. Each station opens up a entirely new conversation and takes us on a new adventure! The Wheelies Stand 'n Play Rampway is a Big Hit in our household and I'm sure it will be in our momstown mama's homes as well!

Laugh and Learn Puppy from Fisher Price

momstown Milton was lucky enough to be chosen to review the new Laugh and Learn Love to Play Puppy from Fisher Price. When I opened it up, I had to do a double take since it looked very similar to the puppy that we already have and love! I was excited to see the upgrades that have been made and I was curious to see if my son would notice them at all.



I put out the new version for him to play with and waited to see what his reaction would be. He was startled at first since with this version the puppy actually wiggles, dances, claps and moves and my little guy wasn't expecting it all. After a few times of pushing the buttons and watching the movements (especially the ears going up and down) from a distance he warmed up to it and began engaging with the toy - singing, dancing,clapping and most of all smiling and having a good time.




The songs are upbeat and catchy with some childhood standards in the mix like if You're Happy and You Know It and Patty Cake. The instructions are easy to follow and offer your little one a fun way of learning the basics. Jaxon's favourite was the counting to 10 song that had him clapping along and counting out loud with the puppy.



We decided to take the puppy for a trip to our playgroup to see if the others might enjoy playing with him too. I should have known he would be a big hit! The kids gathered around him and couldn't wait until it was their turn to push the button. It was great watching them take turns, share the toy and act out the directions that were presented to them. I even picked up some new funky dance moves from the girls!





Overall the Laugh and Learn Puppy is a toy that will be well used and loved in our household. If you want one of your very own don't forget to enter our momstown contest to win!

Stride to Ride Dino from Fisher Price is a hit with my Toddler!

This month, my son was lucky to be chosen as part of the momstown test group for the Stride to Ride Dino from Fisher Price. I was super excited when it arrived and could not wait to put it together to give it a try. Like most men, my hubby tossed aside the instructions and proceeded to piece it together on his own. I was pleasantly surprised that he was able to assemble the parts with very little effort, in a short period of time and that he still had a smile on his face once it was completed!



We placed the Dino in the middle of the living room so that it would be the first toy my son would see when entering the room. The look on his face was priceless! He was smiling from ear to ear and instantly this Dino and him were the best of friends.



He was intrigued by the noises that it made and kept on petting it so that he could hear the music and the sounds over and over again. When the "bouncing" noise played, my son would actually lift the Dino up and start to jump and bounce with it. When the Dino said "woo who" my little guy mimicked and said "woo, woo" and when it roared, my son would give out a giant roar right back at it and laugh. It was the cutest thing to watch.



His biggest dilemma is trying to decide if he is going to ride it or take it for a walk. I was happy with either decision since it meant keeping him active and burning off some energy which usually equates to a longer nap time.

A big shout out to Fisher Price for a well thought out interactive toy that my toddler is over the moon about!
