I may have gotten ahead of myself when I requested these for review from Dandelion before my baby was even born last year after Toy Fair.  While I could review them I wanted to see what my baby thought about the product as well.  Now we are at the time when little...

Two things that go great together, and no it is not chocolate and peanut-butter . . . Douglas Toys and plush dogs.  They are introducing some new breeds like the Greyhound and Bernese Mountain Dog among others.  It is a tough call for me because I really love the Bernese in real...

I must have missed these at the New York Toy Fair, but to say I was a bit overwhelmed was an understatement.  Now Douglas has created Fuzzles in three different sizes.  The original size now has two friends, one larger at 16 inches and a keychain 6 inch size as well.  I agree...

I have not seen my kids wearing their Silly Bandz in a few days, but I know they are still attached to them.  Especially when they find out about Marvel Avengers Silly Bandz which were just announced.  The Silly Bandz Marvel Avengers! The pack includes four Iron Man, Spider Man, Wolverine, Captain...

I originally saw this game at the 2010 Toy Fair, and it was interesting to me then.  Now that I actually have it in my possession, I can tell you it is pretty awesome!  It does a lot more than I had originally thought, and my 6-year-old, given the choice, would rather...

The first thing you do before reading this review is to go check out my review of Chocolate Fix as this is the same type of game just for the younger crowd.  As you know from our Chocolate Fix review, it was a big hit in our household, the only problem?  My four...

What a great idea from Douglas.  These little mini Sassy Pet Sak Sillo-ettes look to be the perfect fashionable carrying case to carry some of your valuable information.  Now why I think they will be very popular with young girls, I can also see a mother going to the park, amusement park,...

I was just introduced to the fact that Thinkfun has a Rush Hour app for the iPhone/Touch/Pad family.  Now as you know we love Thinkfun games, well because they are fun and make you think, big surprise that a company name actually makes perfect marketing sense.  Well before I went to the...

Chocolate Fix from Thinkfun is a yummy looking game that has become an instant hit at our house.  It comes with a tray to hold 9 pieces of candy.  Three ‘strawberry’, three ‘carmel’, and three ‘chocolate’, each flavor has a circle, square, and triangular piece.  The challenge of this game is to place...

The Douglas Company, who makes some of the coolest stuffed animals ever, are introducing nine new foals and four larger breeds to their lineup.  I have to say these are real cute looking horses.  I think I have the ability to use that word cute now that I have a baby girl. ...

Our cat friends are alternately amused and annoyed by the latest addition to our ‘animal’ family, Jilly the Zhu Zhu Pet.  Jilly is a toy hamster, and according to the Zhu Zhu Pets website, “captain of the pep squad.”  She squeals and chatters as she rolls around the floor, turning herself around...

Calico Critters are classic cute little animals that have been around for quite some time and have a large following, so it makes sense they should also have a fun card game.  Who’s Missing? A Calico Critters Card Game is for 2-4 players ages 3 and up and features 3 different games...

I wanted to take a look back at our time at our first Toy Fair, as well as do a bit of a link dump and quick info on some of the people I met and companies that I visited that I did not mention in my earlier coverage.  Plus, I get...
