I’ve been checking out the myWallaby Agile bag for about a week now, the same myWallaby Doll Carrier we’re giving away here at Play Library, hop over and enter if you’d like to have one of your own.

So what do I think of the myWallaby bag? I think it would make a wonderful gift idea for a little girl who loves to take her dolls along with her wherever she goes. There are several features I really like about the bag.

It’s hard to tell by the photos, but the materials and fabrics the bag is made from are very nice …read more

We had a chance to sample Honest Tea’s organic juice line for kids called Honest Kids. I was excited to say yes to this taste test. I’m a big fan of juices that are all natural, and when they’re organic, that’s even better yet.
I read the label on some juice boxes and cringe, there are ingredients in there I can’t even pronounce, and some contain no actual fruit juices.
Honest Kids juices are USDA certified organic, and come in fun flavors like Berry Berry Good Lemonade, and Tropical Tango Punch. They have less sugar than most of the other brands of …read more

We had the opportunity to do a taste test on a new product this week. Just in time for the hot summer Del Monte came out with Fruit Chillers Freeze & Eat Tubes, and they sent us some to taste.

Fruit Chillers are a fun and fruity frozen sorbet snacks. They’re not only tasty but they are also made with real fruit puree, a rich source of vitamin C and contain no corn syrup!

Some things I like about Del Monte Fruit Chillers:

The tubular shape makes them an easy, no-mess snack.
They can be found in the canned good aisle at your local …read more

My niece got a Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker for Christmas this year. It was high on her list, so she was excited when Santa left it for her. We’ve already tested it out. Her mom’s (my sister) birthday is the day after Christmas, so we made some cupcakes, and frosted them up.
The cupcake maker is really more of a cupcake decorator. There are instructions for making the cupcakes, but the actual making takes place in the microwave.
We did use the Girl Gourmet to decorate our cupcakes, and it is really fun for kids to decorate a couple …read more

Any parent who has bathed a small child in a bathtub knows that your back can really hurt after awhile.  Recently, I was given a sample of the Bathtub Assistant to try, and I was pleasantly surprised.  With triplets, bath time is definitely hard on my back!

The Bathtub Assistant is compact and easy to store.  It assembles easily and takes the strain off of your back as you bath your child.  Other uses include bathing your pet, washing your hair, cleaning the tub, and so on.  What’s even better is that with the Bathtub Assistant, both of your hands are …read more

I was lucky enough to receive a new I Spy game – I Spy Private Eye – from Briarpatch that my triplets were more than happy to test out for this review post.  If you’re familiar with the I Spy books where children search for hidden objects within pictures, then the I Spy Private Eye game will look familiar to you.

In I Spy Private Eye, 2-4 players use their skills of observation and memory to identify objects.  Using a “jumbler” that holds 9 picture blocks, …read more

A few weeks ago, I received a Crazy Fort for my 4-year old triplets to test.  I was very intrigued when I first learned about this new toy and wasn’t disappointed when I received it.
It only takes a few minutes to build the different designs.  You simply connect the balls and sticks and throw a bed sheet on top for an instant hideaway.  We tried the house and igloo designs.  The igloo seemed a bit stronger for my triplets, but one or two children would probably do fine with the house design.  I like the idea of buying additional …read more

My triplets turned 4-years old last week, and they love bowling.  They’ve only been to a real bowling alley once, but they’ve played bowling video games at arcades many times and absolutely love them.  We have a few traditional bowling alley toys with the plastic ball and pins, but I get so tired of setting the pins up for them again and again.  When I saw the Real-Action Automatic Bowling Alley toy in the Toys to Grow On catalog, it looked like a toy they would love and a perfect solution to my pin problem.

Last month, I posted about the iPlay Aquatrax Deluxe Water Adventure System asking if PlayLibrary readers could help me decide whether or not I should buy it for my triplets’ fourth birthday.  Then I got the smaller version (pictured) called the iPlay Aquatrax Water Adventure to test from International Playthings.  Here is my review based on my nearly 4-year old triplets’ responses to it.

Last month, I purchased the Bouncin’ Tigger game from Milton Bradley for my 3-year old triplets.  They’ll be four in mid-July, and the age range on the Bouncin’ Tigger game is 4 and up, so I thought they should be old enough. 
When I saw this game on the store shelf, I thought it looked adorable!  We brought it home, and I’m happy to say that my kids really enjoyed it.  They still have some trouble getting some of the pieces onto Tigger, and I have to set it up for them at the beginning of each game, but …read more
