***This is the first educational toy I have ever seen make my hubby get excited. All three of my children fought over it, so it is pretty popular in my house.. This car is small, but perfect for the hands of a preschooler. The batteries were a bit hard to put in, as the cover is a little hard to get off. My children absolutely love and approve this toy, they can not put it down. It’s a land and water toy, but you can not submerge it in water, just small puddles. The headlights also light up, which is fun for playing in the dark!

The Elefun & Friends collection, which also includes Elefun, Hungry Hungry Hippos, and Gator Golf, provides a great way for parents and their kids to enjoy silly, active playtime together.
I received two Games to play with my kids.
Giraffalaff Limbo- is the crazy new game of “how low can you go?” Spin the dial to try one of the 6 limbo styles: classic limbo, crab walk, crawl, giraffe walk, bend forward or backward. The game´s built-in sound will play an encouraging song as preschoolers try not to bump into Giraffalaff. If he´s knocked over, he´ll roll on the floor in laughter. The player that passes under Giraffalaff at the lowest level wins.
In Scatterpillar Scramble kids will do their best to balance marbles in the hands of one very wiggly caterpillar. Kids will have fun dancing along to the music with Scatterpillar in this fast-paced marble game. The first player to securely place all 8 marbles in Scatterpillar´s hands wins. Scatterpillar Scramble was named the 2009 Preschool Game of the Year by Creative Child Magazine.
*** My children are loving the games. They are still trying to get the hang of Scatterpillar Scramble, as they are still a little small for that one. Giraffalaff Limbo they love, they have played it several times. My son gets so scared when the giraffe gets knocked over and laughs.(lol) This games are so much fun and perfect for any preschooler.
I have one ELEfuns prize pack to give away, featuring both these games.

Holiday Gift Guide:Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Review
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the time-honored story of a beautiful princess whose
blossoming beauty disturbs her stepmother the Queen. Each day the Queen asks a mysterious magic
mirror the quintessential question: “mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all.” As long as
the mirror answers the Queen’s name, all is well. However, when one day the mirror replies with Snow
White’s name, the evil Queen begins her quest to kill the young girl, so she may once again be “the
fairest of them all.”
Snow White’s escape from the evil Queen’s plan leads her deep into the forest and to a small cottage
where she meets, in one of the most famous scenes in motion picture history, the Seven Dwarfs.
Once “off to work” they go, the wicked Queen persuades Snow White to take a bite of a poisonous
apple that places a powerful sleeping curse on the young beauty. Heartbroken, the dwarfs make a
glass coffin for their friend, because she is too beautiful to bury. Only when a handsome Prince — who
had previously fallen in love with Snow White — finds her and kisses her, does she awaken, “to live
happily ever after.”
This movie was first made in 1937 and is the first American animated feature film in movie history and the first film to have a soundtrack album released!
On the blu ray bonus material you’ll be able to look firsthand at the Hyperion Studios.
