XShot Bunch O Balloons Filler/Soaker
XShot Bunch O Balloons Filler/Soaker takes water fights to the next level! Mommy loves that we don’t need a hose to fill water balloons since we can use the pump to fill up the Bunch O Balloons wherever I may be like the beach, park or pool. And I love that when I’m all out of water balloons, I can fill up my Filler/Soaker and soak everyone from far, far away! Get set to get wet! bunchoballoons.com
Giant Gazillion Bubbles Giant Bubble Mill
Giant Gazillion Bubbles Giant Bubble Mill creates continuous, giant bubbles at the push of a button! I love that this special machine makes bigger bubbles than ever before in just seconds. And Mommy loves that we can simply pour special solution into the reservoir, push the button and watch in sheer delight as the wheel turns and blows giant bubbles into the air! Bigger is better! funrise.com
Disc Jock-e
Disc Jock-e is a flying disc that plays my favorite songs with its Bluetooth speaker that stays connected to our device (phone, tablet, or computer). I love that we can throw, catch and boogie with Disc Jock-e and Mommy loves that with its durable material and water-resistant design, you can toss your tunes anywhere you go. It’s a singing, soaring sensation! tuckertoys.com
Cra-Z-Art Nickelodeon Super Slimy Set
Cra-Z-Art Nickelodeon Super Slimy Set includes all the ingredients (think glue, glitter, beads) to custom create my own version of the network’s iconic goo. I love that the slime comes in a variety of colors and textures, including glitter, neon, and glow in the dark. And Mommy loves that I can do it myself and it comes complete with everything we need for Slimy science fun! I can’t wait for slime time! cra-z-artshop.com
PAW Patrol Mission Cruiser
PAW Patrol Mission Cruiser lets you take the PAW Patrol pups on a ruff-ruff rescue at home! Mommy loves that the Mission Cruiser has room for my favorite pups and their rescue racers in the container, in the back of the cruiser and in the driver’s seat. And I love playing with the included Robo Dog and his vehicle and using the pop-up screen and animated mission card to view my mission (and loading the mission card into my new Mission Pup Pad). The PAW Patrol is on a roll with the Mission Cruiser! spinmaster.com
Hatchimals Colleggtibles
Hatchimals Colleggtibles are mini versions of my favorite furry Hatchimal friends that need my magic touch to hatch. I love holding the teeny, tiny egg and rubbing the heart with lots of love to make it change from purple to pink so I know it's ready to hatch. Then I gently crack the egg to discover the Hatchimal inside, with its pair of magical, glittery wings. With over 70 Hatchimals Colleggtibles to collect in season one, let the hatching begin! spinmaster.com
Thumb Chucks from Zing
Thumb Chucks from Zing are the newest and coolest skill toy for the ultimate finger rollin’ fun! Everyone, even Mommy, loves to twirl, flip and twist Thumb Chucks around her fingers to do terrific tricks. Mommy loves that the two high-bounce plastic ‘Chucks’ are connected with a ‘belt’ and fit right in my pocket. And I love the built-in, motion-sensitive LED lights that illuminate the Chucks so they glow for the ultimate light show. Your thumbs won’t let you stop playing! zing.store
