Most mommies will probably agree with toys are very important material things to bond with our children or to distract them when they are a little fidgety, our distraction when we need something done without their interruption. Toys are our little helper in some ways. That is why, I believed, there is no big or little toys. They have role to play.
Recently, we received some collections of toys, some are probably smallest toys my children could ever have but I tell, small they may be, they are still some of the cutest and coolest toys.
Take the Shopkins for example; this one makes my daughter very excited. Shopkins is a collection of small toys that are very useful and educational, not only for my daughter, also for my son. Shopkins toys mimic your house and children’s stuff. Their product are categorize accordingly, for example the “baby category” these are mini baby toys but shape like baby’s diaper, feeding bottles and many more. Another category that I like is the “Shoes” category; they are mini shoes with face on it. But what amazed me was the “Homewares Articles”, these are mini home appliance resembling microwave, pots and kettles. The “homeware articles” I think is very clever because this way we, moms can introduce the different home appliances we have to our kids without them touching the real appliance and exposing them to danger. These are small make-believe appliances safe for kids and become aware of its uses. Other product categories of Shopkins are limited collection selected toys, fruits and vegetables, pantry stuffs to name few. Overall, there are over a hundred toys that you can collect to surprise your kids.
The Series 2 that we received was collections of different toy category I mentioned above plus a bonus surprise bag. Dippy Avocado, Yummy Gum, Fi Fi Flour, Leafy, and the surprise pack containing Mary Muffin were the contents of the Series.
“Junk the Germs 5 Trashies” a collection of the Trash Pack Series 7, was another pack of toy we received. This one enamored my son. Again, the Trash Pack are germs and virus like stuff put into life and tangible toys that kids can play with safely and educate them how they can get it. These are categorized according to where it found, like the “worms”, “sports place”, “pet germs”, “house germs”, “x-ray machines” and “cold and flu”. They also have the limited edition of snots. This is one of the best ways the kids can visualize germs and virus, and we can educate them how to avoid by mentioning the possible sources of it in real life and how to avoid it.
We received the newest germ collection of Trash Pack, the Series 7, these includes five collections of junk germs; “1107 Crusty Claws” and two test tubes of germs, one contained “1162 Oozing Eyeball and “1142 Locker Room Lurgy”’ while the other tube packed the “1073 Ring Worm” and “1086 Bin Juice” and a game booklet where descriptions and instructions was also packed with it. I tell you these are no ordinary germs. They are colorful and well designed. Your kids will like it.
If you are moms living in US and Canada and have a son, you will probably remember watching the Johnny Test animated television series on Cartoon Network. This is a comedy series for kids where Johnny is subjected to his sisters’ genius inventions. The series goes on with the toys collections of its characters and games. Johnny Test 4 Pack Special Edition Collection Season 1 collection is what we received. Although it is fit for 5 years old and above only, I let my son plays with it under my strict supervision just to see his reaction. He likes it because it is colorful and has unique design. The pack contained other special accessories that your kids can play with.
Johnny Test Packs are collectibles of different characters that your kids can identify with. The accessories included in the pack will help your kids play the different laboratory adventures of Johnny. This is nice gift for adventurous boys.
Whichever toys you are going to buy, they all make a very nice gifts for your kids, and because they carry varieties of designs there will be no duplicate if you keep on shopping the same brand of toys. This is a nice addition to our choices of toys for our kids.
