Children's Kid's Pretend Play Toy Tea Set

When I saw this tea set I thought it was so adorable. I'll be honest my girls have at least 4 tea sets already but they play with them. They REALLY play with them all the time and they enjoy playing with them. So I don't think it's bad for them to have a ton of variety. Plus most of the time they incorporate them all together.

I really thought I was getting a pink flower and gingham pattern so at first I was pretty disappointed with this pattern ~~ Had I read the disclosure that patterns may vary it would not have been a surprise. But the more I looked at it, the more I thought it was adorable. It's prefect pattern for boys or girls and it's bright and colorful.

It's a metal set so I don't have to worry about plastic breaking into pieces when they get stepped on. I KNOW it will happen eventually. The metal is pretty toughly constructed so I don't even know if it will bend a lot. I did not put it through the test nor did my girls, yet. 

It's an adorable, complete set with tea matching (fruity) cups and saucers, serving tray, tea kettle, and snack plates. So my girls have everything they need to host  a "proper" tea party.  

My girls loved it and they really liked the pattern. Which is really nicely painted with lots of details. They will get tons of use from this tea set. Now if I could just stop them from fighting over which plates decoration they want!!

Velocity Boards Retro Cruiser 22" Skateoard

This board is so brightly colored that my son loved it. He is not an avid skate boarder but he does like to play around sometimes.  He would eventually like to be an expert at it one day so I thought this board would be a great one for him to continue to learn on. 

This board is very well made, great quality, solid board. But still lightweight and easy to carry around. 

Although it's quite different from the skateboards of today. It's pretty long but it's narrow and sleek so it will help my son really work on his balance and prefect his riding skills. 

The wheels are very smooth no squeaking or catching or lagging. So that allows for this board to go pretty fast in the right conditions. Plus it's great on even bumpy surfaces.  

This board is great entertainment for all of my children from my 5 year old to my 11 year old. Who knows me and dad may hop on and skate a few minutes. Think about it since it holds up to 176 so it is a very versatile board. 

There are LOTS of amazing styles and colors to choose from so check them out here.

Junior DJ Drum Band 2-in-1 Children's Musical Drum

I used to always try to buy things that were quiet because let's face it, children will burn you out on anything that makes the slightest bit of noise. But when I saw this I thought it was the most adorable thing. Besides my children love music so I need to get over wanting quiet. Last year for Christmas they got guitars so this drum will be a great addition to the band. 

This drum comes apart so assembly is required but it's really very simple to put together. My husband's assistance was NOT needed and I love when I can put things together by myself.  As you can see it resembles a real drum with the bass drum, snare drums and cymbals.  Drum sticks are even included!

With all the super colorful buttons what child wouldn't have tons of fun playing with this drum?  But in addition to music this drum has animal sounds, flashing lights, and a piano sounds. So the cow and the horse can join the band.  

It's not extremely big so it won't take up a ton of room in your house. It could easily tuck away in a corner when not being played with. 

Grab this drum for a gift here .  Batteries are NOT included so don't forget to pick those up as well. Santa has a BAD habit of always forgetting batteries at my house.

Touch and Learn Electronic Drum Set

My children love music my older ones got guitars for Christmas and they love them but my youngest was not old enough to get one. So when they have a jam session she plays with an old keyboard. So when I saw this touch and learn Electric Drum Set I immediately thought of her.

The drum set looked MUCH smaller in the picture so berfore I got in I worried that maybe it would be too kiddish for her (she is 4) but when I opened the package it's huge. Well maybe not huge but it's big enough and I was very happy to see that.

The front is very cute it looks like a realistic drum with a cymbals, a snare drum, tomtoms, and a base drum. And each one makes a different sound when pressed. All together there are 20 touch sensors that make different sounds.

The other buttons simulate different musical instruments so with the touch of the button you can listen to a guitar or saxophone. So they can have an entire band going on all by themselves.

Your little one can make their own melody and bring out their musical side while having lots of fun. I even have fun playing with this electric drum set.  This one is much quieter than a real drum set so they can play their little hearts out without breaking your ear drums.

My children love this. Notice I said children, not child. They all gather around to play but I expected nothing less.

Want to get your little one an electronic drum set? Get it here

Kids Remote Controlled High-Speed Racing Boat Review

When I was chosen to review this Remote Controlled Racing Boat I was very excited to give it to my boys. I knew they would it. I told them about it we anticipated it coming in. Then I got it in opened it and my husband went nuts over how amazing it looked. 

There was only one piece to put together and that is the stand. It was super easy to put together and took all of a few seconds. The boat is a really compact, aerodynamic racing boat that is a great replica of the real thing.  

It has a bumper guard so nothing, including the boat gets ruined when it hits the objects.  That snaps on in a second or so. But that precaution made me very comfortable putting the boat in my pool. I knew if it hit a side it wouldn't ruin the liner. 

The battery is easy to install and I love that the motor will not work unless the boat is in the water. That means my children cannot spin the battery out by letting the motor run for nothing.  The minute the boat hit the water my HUSBAND had the controller and was going at it. 

The boat is very fun to use and fun to watch. It's easy to control with the remote and goes extremely fast. The remote itself is easy to hold and use. My oldest son got a chance to play with it, for a few minutes and he loved it. My husband declared it was HIS and nobody was to touch it. So all of my children vowed to save their allowance until they could buy their own. 

I can't wait to take it on a camping trip and run it in the open bayou. With a control span of 80 ft it will go pretty far. That should be super entertaining for a while. 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free but the opinion expressed is all mine. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
