Gift Guide: Fisher Price GeoTrax DC Super Friends Batcave Review

The GeoTrax DC Super Friends Batcave RC Set makes an excellent holiday gift for boys! 

Like most boys, my son has developed a great love for super heroes and trains.  The GeoTrax DC Super Friends Batcave just happens to combine both of these aspects into one enormously fun and engaging toy!

The playset is great because it comes with:

- Track

- A Batman Figure

- The Batcave

- A Batmobile

- Batman Controller

- The Riddler's Hide Out

- Riddler Figure

- Jokermobile Vehicle

(Requires 6 "AAA" batteries for the Batmobile and cooresponding controller--we used our rechargeable AAA batteries which I think are great!)

I think the toy is awesome because boys can act out their own little adventures between Batman and the Riddler.  The remote control feature of being able to drive the Batmobile around on the track was really exciting for my son.  The remote was very easy to use and the whole feature really brought his adventures to life!  He enjoyed having Batman capture the bad guy and locking the Riddler up in the cage kept inside the Batcave. 

Another fun aspect of the toy is that if the Riddler just happens to knock Batman's trusty Batmobile off the track, there is an Easy Rail track piece specifically designed to get him back on without any hassel.

Overall, I really like this set because it has so many great features, aspects, and really appeals to young boys like my son!  I can tell that he has so much fun interacting with the toy and seeing him smile and laugh is what holiday toys are all about!

Gift Guide: Learning Curve Chuggington Wooden Railway (Review)

 Our goal is simple, yet important. Learning Curve is committed to providing classic, high-quality toys that encourage your child's imagination, pique their never-ending curiosity, appeal to their strong sense of adventure and enrich their playtime experience. We offer a wide range of popular preschool brands to choose from, including: Chuggington™, Lamaze®, John Deere Preschool, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends™ and Jim Henson's Dinosaur Train™. As we continue our commitment to encouraging adventure, building curiosity and sparking imaginations across the world, we are inspired every day. 

I was delighted for the opportunity to work with Learning Curve and to review one of their Hot Holiday Items! One of my daughter's favorite shows to watch is Chuggington, and was she ever excited when she received Calley's Rescue Set Wooden Railway to review. I think she was a little bit in shock!

Putting the railway together was very easy, I think it took me all of 15 minutes to figure out what went where, plus my daughter's helping hands added a few onto that! This set comes with 39 pieces and has a 2-in-1 Rescue Shed that can be turned into a stand alone tunnel.  Calley's Rescue Computer makes fun noises and lights up which my daughter absolutely loves!

Some fun things that I really like about Calley's Rescue Set is that it has two large loops. This allows my kids lots of space to play on their own, or together when they want! The lights and sounds on Calley's Rescue Computer gives this set a special touch and keeps my daughter wanting to play with it over and over. There is an elevator under the Rescue Shed that lifts the trains up to the second level. Each wooden train has a magnetic nose on the front which allows them all to attach to one another, making one long train! Lastly, I really like that my daughter can take the train set apart, and put it back together in different ways. It is a great manipulative toy for her that she can do all by herself. The pieces fit nicely together like puzzle pieces. One day I came into her room and she had the track propped up all by herself in a very creative way, I was so surprised!
