Toy Craze Prediction: Pinypon {plus coupon}

Posted by · 3 Comments

Our friends across the pond are familiar with Pinypon, and now American girls will be delighted with a world that includes mermaids, travellers and sweethearts. Mini dolls (this is a great starter set) who swap clothes and accessories invite endless possibilities. I like how easily they snap on and off, making it simple to mix and match. My five year old daughter loves mini-toys and bright, colorful Pinypons were an instant hit. The Caravan is as adorable as it gets. Opening up to a swimming pool complete with surf board, lounge chair and more, it also comes with a Pinypon girl and pet making a perfect gift since the line is fairly new in the US. Total immersion into the world on Pinypon can be accomplished with a visit to their website which includes games, puzzles and printables like the one pictured here. 

Pinyponm is available at Toys R’ Us exclusivly both in stories and online. Keep up with the world of Pinypon by following them on the following social medis sites:

Cool Tip

Use one of two current Pinypon coupons like the one below or buy two get one free.

Princess Linens: Personalized Gifts for Babies and Kids

Posted by · 35 Comments

Since 2007 we’ve only reviewed a handful of products and companies multiple times. Some meet multiple cool criteria; such is the case with Princess Linens. After checking out My First Scrubs I later purchased the Green Camo Doodlebag as a personalized birthday gift perfect for kids on the go. Most recently my daughter had an opportunity to sport Princess Linens Pink Stripe Crayon Apron, an inventive and personalizable place to store crayons for easy reach. Paired with an easel, it makes drawing time a breeze and less messy affair. Crayons stay (for the most part) in their place with this “big girl” apron.

I’m amazed at the variety of unique offerings from this site and had a hard time narrowing down a cool picks list to just a few items. For birthday gifts, personalized baby gifts and other “wow factor” ideas, here are a few favorites:

Fisher Price Hero World Rescue Heroes *Giveaway*

Posted by · 120 Comments

While I don’t necessarily mind my 3 year old wearing princess dresses with his older sister an example of all things girlie, I also think some “boy toys” would be great too. In the toy world, toddler/young preschool boys are the most neglected group in my opinion. With plenty to play with 4+  it’s great to see a line specifically for the younger set. The Hero World™ Rescue Heroes® from Fisher Price fills this gap with Perry Trooper, Billy Blazes™, and Captain Cuffs action figures.

Though potty training is 85% complete, we used the action figures as “potty prizes” which worked as planned. With a low price point ($9.99) they also make great gift ideas too. Now while our daughter invents fantasy world with “her people” or mini-princesses, the little guy has his own “people” now too. I’ve used them as a springboard to talk about the role each plays in our society, since unlike many boys his age, our 3 year old is not yet obsessed with firefighters and the like. Although thanks to Hero World™ Rescue Heroes® …he’s getting there.

Cool Giveaway: Enter to win all three Hero World™ Rescue Heroes® by watching “The Funway Report” above highlighting Fisher Price at Toy Fair 2011. Comment on this post answering the question: What is one toy featured in the “Funway Report?” For extra entries,

Easter Basket Gift Ideas *2011*

Posted by · 2 Comments

Take some of Cool Baby Kid’s all-time favorites, find smaller, low-priced items to fit in an Easter basket, and voila! The 2011 Easter Basket Gift Guide is filled with Hershey chocolate since, as CBK readers know, our longstanding love affair with all things Hershey makes Easter a perfect reason (excuse) to eat some extra chocolate. The Hershey Easter site also includes crafts, recipes like the Peanut Butter Bunny Cakes and other basket ideas, so be sure to check it out. We always like to include a toy or two as well, and while it wasn’t easy to narrow down to three, we think you’ll love these basket ideas. As for the Disney Store selection, if you’re youngster isn’t into Princesses (what!?) the 2 for $24 Disney sleepwear always makes a great gift.

Mickey Mote: New Innovation for Preschoolers

Posted by · 2 Comments

Released yesterday, the Mickey Mote gives preschoolers a whole new way to interact with their favorite characters. A mouse ear shaped remote with four different colored shapes, once programmed, allows kids to answer questions and interact with Mickey and friends. Used with any Disney Preschool DVD that includes Discovery Mode™ the Mickey mote can be purchased with either Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Number Roundup and/or Handy Manny: Big Construction Job DVDs. I wasn’t surprised to find out Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is the #1 series with children ages 2-5 since our 2 and 4 year old love the show and were so excited to see the characters live this Fall at Disney World. Having a new way to interact that challenges them as they grow is exciting since truly innovative products for preschoolers are rare. The kids love the remote, and I love the educational component which ask them to recall information and answers questions for a more interactive experience with favorite Disney characters. A new innovation for preschoolers from Disney, the Mickey Mote and accompanying DVDs make a great gift for the holidays for any preschooler.

Disclosure: A sample product was provided for review purposes; all opinions are 100% ours. Read our full disclaimer and frequently asked questions and be sure to subscribe to Cool Baby Kid via RSSor email for additional giveaways and exclusive discounts.

Cool Tip: Purchase Handy Manny: Big Construction Job – DVD with Mickey Mote or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Numbers Roundup – DVD with Mickey Mote through our Amazon affiliate links.
