tabbyspantry

We got these great toys free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own

When it comes to Basic Fun toys nothing is basic.  They have a wide range of cute and fun toys that are going to make your Easter Basket pop this year.  From Tonka, to the new hit Troll toys they have something for every kid in the family.

I love that these are great toys for Easter that will keep your kids busy and they will be having a bast all Easter day.  When we were younger the Easter Bunny used to hide a great toy like these for us and we had to do a treasure hunt to find them.

 

Some of the awesome ones we got to check out

Trolls World Tour – Sparkle Dome Surprise

Tonka

We have been huge Tonka fans for years.  Little guy loves playing with all the trucks and hearing all about what they do from his Grandpa.  They have a great collection with a ton of trucks your kids are going to want to collect.  Even better they are smaller so you can collect a ton of them without taking up a ton of room.

 

Bobble Bottoms

Omg these are adorable and they also make a great sensory toy for my little one.  With the bobble bottoms they have a few different animals to choose from so you are sure to find the perfect one for your little one.  Plus if you get a few they are so cute bobbling together.

We love Basic fun and think they are the perfect add to our Easter Gift Guide.

 

Redwood Ventures Foodie Surprise for Easter

tabbyspantry

We got these Foodie Surprise eggs free in exchange for an honest review all opinions are my own.

When it comes to Easter we try and stay away from a ton of candy.  Let’s be honest though a little candy in the Easter basket or a hidden egg is a must.  I love that the Foodie Surprise are not only unique they come in their own egg.  So I can go ahead and put these tight in the basket or even give them to the Easter Bunny to hide with his eggs. Better yet these are a great price.   The Foodie Surprise Yolkies are just $4.99 and the Foodie Surprise Candy Slime Egg is just $2.99.


Huge Thank you to Chatty Pattys Place for letting us use her Video.  She rocks at videos

Yolkies

Yolkies are large eggs that contain candy slime, a gummy yolk and a collectible little Yolkies toy character.  There are many different Yolkies to collect.  The slime candy and gummy yolk are so delicious!  I tried one and it had a delicious pineapple flavor.

Candy Slime Surprise Egg

These fun eggs contain candy slime and mystery candy mix-ins.  Kids love to mix slime and these eggs are so much fun and perfect for your little slime lovers.  There are different color eggs which contain different surprise slime’s and mix-one, so you won’t know which you got until you open your eggs!

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Picture it: You just landed on your own deserted island paradise. You instantly find your inner peace as you hear the soothing sound of ocean waves. You set up your new tent and, before calling it a night, decide to wander around the island to take it all in. Before long, you will be meeting animal residents, crafting items and indulging in a variety of activities, like catching bugs and sharing your virtual life with friends and family. Your island life is just beginning and there is so, so much more to experience…

In the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game, which is now available for the Nintendo Switch family of systems, you’ll get to travel to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create and customize your island life. Before you take off for your island, you can design your character and then choose where to set up your tent once you arrive – which you can eventually choose to upgrade to your very own home! You can even customize the actual island itself by putting items like furniture and flowers around the island and, after some time, can even adjust the island’s terrain! As your island develops, new facilities and residents may join your community.

“In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can transport yourself to a virtual island paradise,” said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With relaxing gameplay you can enjoy by yourself or with friends and family, the game is a breath of fresh island air.”

Starting today, free updates will be added to the game throughout the year, delivering fresh seasonal content for you to enjoy. The first update adds “Bunny Day” in April, as well as the ability to use online features, which requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Follow the Animal Crossing Twitter account for the latest news and updates about the game.

When connected online, it’s possible to talk with friends who also have Animal Crossing: New Horizons with the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app, using the smartphone as a keyboard or for voice chat.

Additionally, those that link their Nintendo Account to their Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp mobile game will be able to order special items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and get 50 Leaf Tickets in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

Give the Beauty of Madame Alexander This Easter

tabbyspantry

We got this beautiful Madame Alexander Doll free in exchange for an honest review.

I have been collecting Madame Alexander for years.  They were my comfort when I was growing up.  I could not believe that I could own something so beautiful.  I was so excited to see that they were at the New York Toy Fair and they had a new beautiful collection out that any doll lover will go gaga for.

Madame Alexander has always been known for beauty and quality and they are still living up to that.  We got to see so many at the show.  When we saw the Pink Bunny Huggums I knew they would be a huge hit for Easter.  What doll lover would not love to find this beautiful little one in their basket this year.

HUGGUMS

These classic 12” baby dolls are perfect for tiny hands. Made with soft bodies meant to be hugged, these dolls are recommended for ages 2+. This adorable dolly will become your “baby’s baby.”

I love that the Huggums are made to cuddle and they still have the beautiful faces.  Your little one or big one can take these to bed with them at night and cuddle their new baby all night long.

I would also like to give a shout out to the parents having new little ones this year.  I hear a lot from the parents in the Autistic community that they are getting ready to have another little one, they want a way to help their Autistic kids learn about the new baby.  These are perfect.  Give them their own little sister or brother early.  Let them learn to be gentle , change diapers ect with this great life like doll.

You can get your Madame Alexander dolls at Amazon, (small Wonder) @Target and Neiman Marcus. or at these online retailers.

 

Easter Just Got Epic With Tomy

tabbyspantry

We got these TOMY toys free in exchange for an honest review all opinions are our own.

When we got the chance to check out TOMY at the New York Toy Fair I went nut’s.  I know I must have scared them a little. lol.  When I saw the Mario Bros  and Kirby items I knew Dylan would go crazy.  They have a wide range of toys that your kids are going to love.  Even better they are cute and fun.

When the box showed up Dylan was excited to take pictures as you can see these are now a bg part of our life.  I was going to save them for Easter, but I was too excited.  The Kirby Mega, Nintendo Mario, Nintendo Mushroom and the Nintendo Yoshi were just what he loves.  As you all know he is in love with anything eggs you add in Yoshi and the egg and he was jumping for joy.

 

I love that TOMY toys not only speak to him , but they are retro also I know them very well from my original Nintendo days and I was excited for them too.  The Mario Hat and the Kirby also make a great cuddly friend for your little ones.  They are soft and cuddly and you can let your kids take them to bed and have their favorite video game hero with them to protect them at night.

 

We would 1000% recommend TOMY toys.  They are not only cute , but made with quality and at a great price point.  They are made for the family who loves great quality at a great price.
