***Planes Fire and Rescue is now on Dvd and Blu-ray and its the perfect holiday gift for any Planes/cars fan in your house. My son couldn’t wait for this movie to come out. He loved Cars and Planes. Planes Fire and Rescue is action packed and will leave you on the edge of your seat at times. The movie is not just for kids though, there are a lot of jokes that adults will get and enjoy. One of the things I loved the most is it has a great storyline and plot. First off at the beginning of the movie it says it’s dedicated to all the Firefighters who risk there lives everyday. In the movie Dusty learns that life is not all about being selfish and famous or popular, it’s about helping others even when it’s dangerous. He learns that after having his life saved.

Creative Galaxy From Amazon Prime Instant Video

Creative Galaxy, produced by Out of the Blue Enterprises with Angela Santomero (Blue’s Clues, Super Why!) serving as Creator and Executive Producer, is a make-along, create-along, interactive art adventure series for preschoolers. Characters Arty and Epiphany travel around the galaxy to solve problems with art, inspiring creative thinking through crafts, music and dance. To give kids and parents the real-life tools they need to re-create Arty’s experience, a live-action piece at the end of each animated episode will take viewers through the craft project that Arty showcased in the galaxy.

This series is designed to support a child’s natural inclination to use their imaginations, make and create. Art make life joyful. Everywhere one goes art is evident. And the skills utilized and learned through making art are vast and useful.

Art is everywhere you go, this show helps kids realize their creativity through finding art where you are. You can turn a tree into a fun a creative tire swing with lots of shapes and colors. My favorite episode would be action painting, showing art through your emotions, whether you are happy, sad, angry, etc. Action painting is showing what you feel!

IMG_2064

My kids love to unwind before bed and play games, but lately have been finding a lot of games difficult to get through the levels. We just downloaded Gummy Drop and my 6 year old is already o level 7. He is loving this game and finding it so easy to play, he won’t even let me help him.

Here is a quick video of how the game works

V Tech’s Innotab 3 Plus Review and GiveawayClosed

Disclosure: No formal compensation was received for this post. A sample product and information was provided by VTech.

My kids have really been getting into electronics lately. They love going on the internet and finding apps to play. I don’t like them getting to caught up with it though. The internet can be a dangerous place for a kid.
I have been looking into getting them kid friendly tablets, but they are all just a bit to expensive for me. The InnoTab 3 Plus is the perfect playtime for my 6 year old son. It doesn’t offer the internet, but you can download games and buy cartridges for him to play on the tablet.

IMG_2055

The InnoTab 3 Plus offers:

  • InnoTab 3 Plus is a value-packed tablet that features a rechargeable battery power pack so you don’t need to worry about constantly purchasing batteries, a cost that really adds up.
  • This tablet offers access to more than 800 educator-endorsed, age and stage appropriate cartridges, software and apps that can be purchased and downloaded from VTech’s Learning Lodge app store.
  • Children will also love taking photos using the 180° rotating camera with over 55 special effects and using the video recorder to make movies. They can even import and listen to their own MP3s with the music player.
  • InnoTab 3 Plus comes with 12 apps to open up a world of learning fun at an affordable price of only $59.99, making it a great first learning tablet for price conscious parents.

IMG_2057

IMG_2058

The two features that I would say are my absolute favorite on the InnoTab 3 Plus, the rechargeable battery pack and the camera lens.   We go through batteries like crazy with our kid friendly electronics and it gets really expensive, so not having to worry about replacing batteries all the time is a plus. The camera lens lets you take pictures as a camera. Pictures or videos from a direct angle, or you can change the lens to face you for a selfie.

Some units do not come with the rechargeable power pack, and is sold separately.

The best part!! I am giving away a InnoTab 3 Plus to one lucky reader. US Only.

Big Fish Games Introduces Cascade #Games #SP

Big Fish Games is launching their newest game cascade.

Cascade is a level-based Match-3 game that combines a unique mash-up of skill and luck with a slots mechanic.  Each hand-crafted puzzle is quick and fun so you can play anywhere, anytime, and for as long as you want.  Cascade also comes with social features that allow players to invite their Facebook friends to enjoy the fun, send each other gifts, and compete for the high score in the Daily Challenge.  With new puzzles and challenges being added every month, it’s a never-ending cascade of fun

Cascade may look familiar to a popular candy crushing game on Facebook, but I guarantee you it is way different. Cascade lets you match 3 in any way, it really makes you think about different combinations. It was a big challenge for my kids at first. They were only doing straight across combinations, but they are finally getting the hang of it.

They are already starting to want to play it all the time. For me it seemed very easy, but also challenging at the same time. I couldn’t believe how many combinations I was missing in the game.

You can download Cascade today and start playing.

Planes Fire And Rescue Movie Is Not Just For Kids #DisneyPlanes #FireandRescue

Disclosure: No formal compensation was received for this post. I was invited to a screening of the movie by Disney.

When the first Planes movie came out my son was all excited, he had to see it. He is a big Cars fan and knew this would be the next big thing. He loved the movie, but for me it seemed to much like cars for me. Was not what I was hoping.

Planes Fire and Rescue is a big upgrade from the first movie.

planesfireandrescue536147bd6ef8f

Disney’s Planes Fire and Rescue Planes is a new comedy-adventure about second chances, featuring a dynamic crew of elite firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from raging wildfire. When world famous air racer Dusty (voice of Dane Cook) learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of aerial firefighting. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his courageous team, including spirited super scooper Dipper (voice of Julie Bowen), heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter, ex-military transport Cabbie and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.

This sequel will keep you in suspense a lot of the time. My kids had their eyes glued to the screen the whole time. I was jumping out of my seat waiting to see what was going to be happening next. There are so many moments that just leave you wondering. The movie also has some funny yet tasteful jokes that only adults and older kids will actually get. For example: There are 2 RV’s having their anniversary and want to go back to where they first kissed, and are reminiscing about it. ” We bought white wall tires and burned the rubber off of those fast, if you know what I mean! Driving around of course.” Could of turned out to be a dirty joke but it wasn’t.

One of the things I loved the most is it has a great storyline and plot. First off at the beginning of the movie it says it’s dedicated to all the Firefighters who risk there lives everyday. In the movie Dusty learns that life is not all about being selfish and famous or popular, it’s about helping others even when it’s dangerous. He learns that after having his life saved!

I would definitely recommend taking the family out to see this movie, the whole family will enjoy it.
