VtechKids Switch & Go Dinos Review and Giveaway

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of VTechKids for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
At some point in nearly every boy's childhood (and in many girls' childhoods too), there begins a fascination with two things ~ dinosaurs and cars!   At some point in nearly every adult's time as a parent, they discover the wonder of the Vtech brand.   Well, the folks at Vtech did it again.  The brand that's a favorite of so many parents and kids combined two of a child's favorite playthings into one cool toy.
My kids and I recently had the chance to check out two new toys in Vtech's brand new line ~ these cool Switch & Go Dinos.  With a few simple twists and turns, they switch back and forth between dinosaur and car.  With a push of a button, a neat little LCD screen will show different facial expressions for the dinosaur and drivers for the car.  With a push of another button, sound effects bring the toys to life with up to 30 fun little phrases and different dinosaur facts.  We had so much fun testing them out and seeing all they could do.


Aren't they cool?  I loved the way my son and daughter played together with Horns the Triceratop.  They really liked switching it back and forth from a dinosaur to a car, and the sounds effects and LCD screen were a cool extra feature.  Can't you see the little dinosaur lover or car enthusiast in your life just loving these?

When I said these were part of Vtech's brand new line, I wasn't joking.  The four Starter Dinos: Sliver the T-Rex, T-Don the Pteranodon, Tonn the Stegosaurus and Horns the Triceratops just became available on  May 21 exclusively at Amazon.com for a suggested retail price of $15.99.  Beginning June 18, they’ll be on sale at VTechKids.com and they'll be available at major retailers in Fall 2012.  Also available in the Fall will be Attila the Ankylosaurus (SRP: $24.99), Span the Spinosaurus (SRP: $29.99), Brok the Brachiosaurus (SRP: $49.99)   I can totally see these being the hot toy this season, so I think it's cool that you can Buy today on Amazon and then add to your child's collection this Fall.
Okay,  now if you're an observant reader, you may have noticed that I said I got two new toys from the Vtech line, but I only showed my kids playing with one of them (Horns the Triceratop).  That's because I saved one of them for one of you!!
You see, I just recently passed 5,000 Facebook followers!  That milestone is just so amazing for me and I'm so grateful to have so many of you stopping by to check out our ideas.  I'm sure that a good percentage of those 5,000 moms, dads, grandparents, teachers, nannies etc. who have liked us on Facebook have a dinosaur and car loving kid in their life.  So, I have Silver the T-Rex here and ready to giveaway to one lucky reader.

52-Week Money Savings Challenge (with printable)

Hình ảnh
Yay, me!  I made a New Years' Resolution last year and actually stuck with it!  I didn't start working out, lose weight, or finally get my whole house organized.  I did, however, manage to save nearly $1,400 with a 52-Week Money Savings Plan.  It wasn't that hard at all and the money I put aside was able to completely pay for Christmas this year - all the gifts for kids, our family, and their teachers, a new tree, some decorations, and even dinners out during the busy December season. Since it worked so well for me, I thought I'd share it.  It's the perfect way to save for the holidays, but it would also be great for vacation saving or any other big-ticket item. First, here's the week-by-week plan... (Printable HERE ) Here's how I made it work for me... 1.  Save in reverse! When I first saw this kind of plan last December, it started with $1 the first week, $2 the second week and so on until $52 was deposited on the last week.  A commenter mentioned th...

Mockingjay the Movie

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central  for Lions Gate. I received a book, products, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.” Is anyone else as anxiously awaiting the Mockingjay Part 1 Movie as we are?  My two oldest and I have been counting down ever since we saw Catching Fire last fall!   I first read the Hunger Games trilogy myself a few years ago.  My kids were just in the early elementary grades and I was volunteering at the book fair at their school.  As we were working, another mom mentioned how much she'd loved the series.  At first I was hesitant... young adult fiction?  teens in a dystopian society battling to survive in a televised game?  I wasn't quite sure about the whole premise.  However, the other mom and I had similar tastes in other books we'd read so I picked up the Hunger Games and started reading.  I loved it, quickly read all three books, and started recommending the...

Saltine Challenge: Can you eat 6 saltines in a minute?

Hình ảnh
Desperate times call for desperate measures.  We've had an overabundance of snow days this winter and the kids are actually getting tired of all the days off school.  When they don't want to play outside anymore and cabin fever is setting in, I've had to reach deep into my bag of tricks to keep us all sane and entertained. Here was a little trick that brought lots of laughs (along with a few crumbs)... This trick was from way back in my college days.  My friends and I learned about it somehow, then challenged people every chance we got.  In all the times we presented the challenge, we never had anyone who was able to do it (and we won tons of free meals and free drinks in the process!). You most likely have the supplies on hand, a box of saltine crackers (salted, not unsalted), a timer, and some willing participants. The challenge is simple... all you have to do is eat (and swallow) the six saltines before the minute timer goes off without getting a drink of water....
