If your kids even remotely like batman then this Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcave set will be a huge hit. It’s super interactive & has tons of moving parts that the kids can fiddle with, plus it comes with both Batman & Robin so the kids can play with it right out of the box, Mine simply adore this set! They also have several of the superman toys & another play set to make for some interesting mashups! There are 43 possible accessories, characters, vehicles or play sets that could be mixed in here. It’s definitely worth getting a few of the vehicles & a bunch of the figures to full out the theme.

If you have boys that are between 3 & 9 then this set is going to be perfect for them! It’s made by Fisher Price so you know it’s designed for rough kids. So far ours has lasted for 2 years under heavy boy play & everything still works. The figures fit right into the play set to make groovy things happen throughout the Batcave. The Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcave comes with a Bat cycle that the figures will fit on & there is even a rocket launcher that really shoots! The jail can be open with the push of a button & you can suit up Batman in the flight suit! The set pops out of the box ready to play & is very well designed.

There’s also an app that you can use with the set to watch a short video & play 2 games…but personally I like that this toy is low tech & kids have to actually think in order to play with it.

With a house full of kids I’m huge on play sets like this, Since they are So large you just need one of two good themed mega sets to give your kids hours of playtime. This one features a wooden design with little wooden brightly painted cars, trucks and even a gas pump. The beauty of a set like this is the size & quality. They can race cars down the ramp and it even has a “wicked jump at the end” (per my kids). Hot Wheels or matchbox cars also work with this set & apparently it’s the perfect size to play out all kinds of action hero sagas as well. I saw some ninja turtles using the ramp as a slide last week.

It has some cool features like a working elevator, gas station, car wash, helicopter pad & of course two separate ramps. It’s perfect for toddler 3 and up but even the tweens will race cars on this so it’s a great long lasting toy.

Perplexus Rookie Puzzle Ball

Looking for a fun toy that doesn’t need cables or plugs? Something that will engage the kids And adults? This groovy Perplexus Rookie Puzzle Ball will do the trick! This particular one is the rookie or starter ball…which is ideal for younger kids or someone new to this toy. They also have an Original, Twist & Epic. Perplexus is a house favorite around here…We have them all except the new Twist which is on this years holiday list. They are proudly displayed in my living room.

I have 3 teens & they get bored of puzzles in record time…2 of them can rip thru a Rubik cube in minutes. So clearly I needed to step up the game last year…I got this ball the Epic & the original for the kids. They were totally annoyed, frustrated & yet they couldn’t set it down. They spent hours trying to beat this ridiculous puzzle….then they called friends over & tortured them with it. I’m not sure I’ve seen them play with anything that long that wasn’t attached to the Xbox!

So the basic idea of this Rookie puzzle is you have to twist & turn the ball to get the loose marble to run thru the maze. It sounds easy…I assure you it’s a challenge!Kids ages 4 & up have played this at my house with zero problems. It has no loose parts so it’s good for the car or as a thing to take to dinner to keep the kids busy.Because of how this works it helps with hand eye coordination, motor skills & honestly it’s nice to see a toy that challenges their brain.

It’s also not just for kids, every single person that has seen the ball picks it up & plays with it. Making this one of those fun everybody gifts!

Three Stooges Mr. Potato Head Set

What could be more iconic than a Three Stooges Mr. Potato Head Set? Most of my childhood memories revolve around watching endless hours of the Three Stooges…and then making the stupid noises, obnoxious sayings & of course trying to beat the snot out of each other just like the Stooges did in the show. Ahhh, memories…good thing we didn’t have access to pies or giant wooden mallets! Somehow my cousins & I all managed to not be sociopaths or serial killers…which is always good thing. I have always fondly remembered the Stooges The role they played in my life at 10pm every Saturday.

So you can imagine my delight in finding they the made Stooges into these hilarious potato heads! Even better they used curly & not Shemp…that would have been a disaster. Each Stooge stands 6″tall & comes with the classic accoutrements including a mallet, wrench & the beloved pie. Moe is of course in the eye poke stance & curly is ready for the block. They are designed for anyone age 2 & up plus all the parts can be mix up to make one crazy Stooge!

These are great for younger kids that love the show or die hard collectors that want to display their collection on a shelf or in their office. The set of 3 comes in a snazzy display box but I recommend taking them out so you can play with them. Life is too short to keep awesome toys trapped in boxes, plus how could you enjoy them? So break out your wallets & get yourself or someone you love the gift of Stooge!

Minions Fart Blaster Toy Gun

Ok, I admit it, I love the minions & all the obnoxiousness that comes with them…weird language, obsessions with food & of course their favorite weapon, a fart gun. I pretty much loved both movies but the kids in the theater gagging with laughter over the fart gun scenes were hilarious.

Now mind you I am a grown adult, well beyond the fart joke years…until I saw this gem at the store. I was minding my business checking out the new minion toys (because I am really obsessed with them) & then my eyes locked on a strange but silly looking weapon. I stopped, daintily picked it up, read the box, flipped it back over & pulled the trigger…then I laughed like an idiot…then laughed some more , & obsessively pulled the trigger while trying to come up with some conceivable logic for purchasing this gun. After all it’s not a cheap toy…but after a full ten minutes of playing with this fart gun it occurred to me that it’s just to good to pass up, I work hard & dang it I deserve nice things, even if that means a weird fart gun. I mean how much stupid junk have I bought the kids over the years? Surely it’s my turn!?

So yes I am a 36 year old woman with a fart gun in my office, it lights up & makes me happy, so there. I’m not sure if there is an evil minion support group but I would definitely bring the gun with me if there was. No when dealing with the fart gun market you should know you have options. The standard Minion Fart Blaster or the Deluxe Despicable Me 2 Banana Scented Fart Gun, This one is bigger and makes a fabulous farting minion banana aroma. Which kinda makes it more funny.

Oh FYI kids seem to really love this toy as well!

MarbleWorks Starter Set by Discovery Toys

Looking for a fun interactive building set for your kids…and you? Marble runs are a fun way to unplug & actually play with a toy. This particular one is the toughest on the market (as tested by my pack of boys), We’ve had a few fatalities with other brands. It’s built for kids so it’s very sturdy…which is a super important feature…and easy for kids to build on their own. Even with lots of use ours has lasted for at least 3 years without a single piece broken…lost marbles seems to be the only for us & user error can hardly count against this toy!

This Marbleworks Starter Set is perfect for a anyone that wants to play with marbles & comes with lots of pieces (46 to be exact). The age bracket on this kit is ages five & up but younger kids like 3-4 love it… although you will have to put it together for them & make sure they don’t try to eat it. The starter set features bright purple, blue & yellow colors & can be mix with any other MarbleWorks sets.

The basic idea is to connect tubes, bases & chutes together in different ways to race your marbles down. Kids can learn the laws of gravity & critical thinking to get that marble where they want it to go. It’s great for a family toy & I highly recommend getting more than one kit, the Marbleworks Deluxe is a good choice or simply get 2 starter sets…they are kinda like Legos, more pieces are just better no matter what the pieces really are.. Or if your kids already like this get some of the extras like the Wild Ride or the Crank it Up! There are tons of options & millions of possibilities with a set like this. The kid will have a blast and you will have a great unplugged toy for rainy days.

Melissa & Doug Wooden Car Carrier

Looking for the best Wooden Car Carrier on the market? Need something kid tough & cool looking? The Wooden Car Carrier by Melissa & Doug makes parents happy & the kids adore it. If your kids are obsessed with cars & trucks then this is the perfect toy for them! We have a few different Melissa and Doug car toys, but the kids seem to really like this one. From an adult standpoint it’s nice to see the kids playing wooden toys over that plastic junk they usually want. The design is simple which makes play time even more creative if you ask me. It’s held up for more than a year in my house…which is saying a lot! We have yet to have one Melissa and Doug toy break on us…that is itself is super impressive to us. Too bad all toys aren’t made this nice!

You get the big sturdy car hauler truck (green) & 4 brightly colored wooden cars, the details are painted on so you don’t have to worry about tiny parts breaking off. The ramp flips down so the cars can be driven on & off the car hauler with ease. It’s great for little hands learning how to make things move & pretty simple even from for a 2-year-old to play with unassisted. All in all this is a great low tech toys for kids to spend hours playing with, I’d even get a different truck or two if you have more than one kiddo, it’s a pretty popular toy around here.

You may want other cars to work with this toy…Hot wheels are a bit too small but Thomas the Train toys fit great. They also make loose cars to add to the set.

If the Melissa & Doug Wooden Car Carrier Isn’t quite what you were looking for then check out the Trailer & Excavator or the Magnetic Car Loader.

Despicable Me 2 Minion Dave Talking Action Figure

Is Dave your favorite minion? Can you even tell the difference?

Dave is one of those classic movie characters that steals the movie…I think Gru & the girls were in this one…but I only saw minions! Clearly one of my favorite movies of all time, I can’t wait for the full length minion movie to come out next fall…it’s going to be epic! This “toy” is ideal for any kid that liked the movie…plus it farts so basically any kid anywhere will like this thing. He also look pretty fab “doing things” around the house. Some of the pics online are hilarious!

This “toy” is for kids age 4 & up, but I see no reason to limit this to kids. Dave talks of course & says fifty five different sayings in hilarious minion speak & movie voice. He changes facial expressions while talking, so that makes him even more fun. His eyes close & move side to side as you move his head…which is a soft rubbery material. You can pretend to feed Dave when he’s in banana mode…this makes him fart…Super banana mode (press his tongue twice) makes the farts even bigger! He also farts if you move his head…keep feeding him Classy!

Now if you are a Die hard Dave fan you can find him here, They also make Tim (the tall skinny one) or Stewart (with one eye). They do different stuff…Tim Sings & Stewart laughs. Basically you can’t go wrong with any of these guys…the fans love them all. Not to mention it makes people smile to hear a minion fart, laugh or sing.
