Raising Three Savvy Ladies

New Toy Finds From Hasbro #HasbroNYC

I recently attended a Hasbro Cocktail party featuring all the latest trends on toys, crafts and games.  Growing up, Hasbro was always a go to name when looking for the best games.  They have you covered for boys and girls in every age group. The best part is that they always have something for the whole family to get involved playing.

Below are some toys that you want to keep an eye out for as we move into the holiday season.

Start planning for the holiday season and plan ahead if you want to have some smiling faces and surprised kids.  These toys will keep them entertained for hours on end and will certainly let their imaginations run wild.

LET’S IMAGINE ELMO TOY  Let’s Imagine Elmo is trying on different fun hats, and he’s inviting your little one to sing, count, and play along with him! Whether he’s a counting cowboy, playful prince, singing sea-captain, or just being himself, Elmo has 4 playful interactive modes with games, songs, and actions.

 

Elmo lets everyone in on the play! He is so soft and cuddly who can’t resist holding him and following along on his adventures.

Let’s Imagine Elmo – is prefect for ages 2-4 and retails for about $39.99

aug 096

Next up is a favorite of mine from the event.  DohVinci is a stylish trendsetting new way of crafting, it is like using a hot glue gun without the heat and allows you to choose which color “glue” or deco pop you would like to for your designs.  Below are some great ways to decorate the prepackaged gift sets.  Each set comes with everything you need.

DOHVINCI STYLE & STORE VANITY COMPLETE DESIGN KIT

DOHVINCI FLOWER TOWER COMPLETE FRAME KIT

aug 104

Who doesn’t like to craft or decorate and with the DohVinci Deluxe Styler?  I was able to decorate a frame in no time.  With the interchangeable decorating tips you can make hearts, butterflies and other 3D images.  If you don’t like the design you made you can simply wipe it off and start over.   Just let the Deco Doh dry and you can now  display your art work!

DohVinci sets are recommended for ages 6 and up and might need some adult assistance and patience. Prices range from $3.99- $19.99.

aug 113

The Littlest Pet Shop is a big hit with my nieces and they were so excited to see that I got to be in a photo with Russell Furguson.
lps

I love that these toy sets can easily store all the Pets making for easy clean up but that they make little towns as well. Each new set can keep the adventures going on forever.  You can also purchase pets separately.

I was so excited to see a blast from the past making a comeback Simon Swipe

Swipe the lights to conquer the colors in this challenging Simon Swipe game! To be the champion swiper, just tap when you see one light, swipe when there are two, and swipe and reverse when the lights move clockwise and then go back. The game starts out easy and then builds to 16 blazing levels. With 4 games to choose from, whether you practice on your own or challenge a friend, you’ll have to be at the top of your game to defeat Simon Swipe!

aug 111

 

And last but not least was the NERF N-STRIKE ELITE DEMOLISHER 2-IN-1 BLASTER

This Nerf action toy was so much fun to use as with all Nerf products the missiles are soft but I would recommend playing outside or in an area large enough so that valuables around the house don’t get broken.  This will certainly be a big hit for the boys and even the girls. This Nerf product retails for $39.99  and is for 8 and up age group.

I hope you enjoyed checking out some new toys that are on the market.

Which toy do you think will be a favorite in your house?

    We’re definitely going to get the new Nerf Elite Demolisher. My kids love Nerf and we always have so much fun with them. A couple summers ago we met up with my sister and all her boys at the park and our families had Nerf wars. It was SO much fun!

  5. Sara P. (@SensiblySara) says

    September 26, 2014 at 12:43 pm

    Great toys! My boys loved Elmo when they were little and my youngest (12) STILL plays with Nerf guns!

    I got my daughter an Elmo last year and she really liked it! I’ll probably get her some type of dollhouse this year. 🙂

    September 26, 2014 at 10:13 pm

    My son wants a new Nerf gun for Christmas. I’m going to have to show him this one for sure!

  18. Michelle says

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
