Shimmeez Color Changing and Squeezamals Plush Animals

Shimmeez Color Changing and Squeezamals Soft Animals

What are color changing Shimmeez?

Shimmeez are color changing animals with reversible sequins. Ever hear of the kids asking for ‘mermaid pillows’? These are the same shimmer sequin concept on adorable animals. You will not be able to help yourself and ‘draw’ throw these animals.

There are 10 animals to choose from and they are all 2-toned so see how this works below and they come in 8″ and 14″ sizes.

Squeezamals

What are Squeezamals?

Squeezamals are soft and squishy foam-stuffed animals. They are slow rising and make great little stress balls for adults even. I find myself taking my son’s Squeezamals animal ( Dax) and squishing him mindlessly. You know that weird satisfaction you get pressing your hand into a memory foam pad? That’s what playing with these feel like.

There are over 20 animals to choose from and they come in 3.5″ and 18″ sizes.

Family Game Night with Brady Bunch and Home Alone Board Games

I was sent games for the feature

Family Game Night with Brady Bunch and Home Alone Board Games

 

The Brady Bunch Game

Available at Target stores Ages 9+ Published by Big G Creative $24.99 MSRP

A blast from the past and my favorite blast ever!! I am a huge Brady Bunch fan and I could watch  a Brady Bunch marathon for days. Just as in the show, Alice is on top of it all and she is trying to find the Troublemaker in this game! Are you the Troublemaker?

This is played with a minimum of 3 players and best at closer to 8 players. 1 person play Alice and the rest choose a character (one of the Brady kids). This is a game of bluffing and deduction. Just think of the game ‘Clue’, it is along those lines. You can work to help Alice out or work to cover up for your ‘siblings’.

Contents:

  • 48 Mischief Cards
  • 14 Snoop Cards
  • 8 Character Tiles
  • 8 Tile Bases
  • 6 Reference Cards
  • 4 Cookies
  • 3 Help Tokens
  • 1 Round Marker (1 full game is 4 rounds)
  • 1 Game Board
  • Instruction Booklet

Home Alone Game

Available at Target stores – Ages 8+ Created by Big G Creative $19.99 MSRP

“You Filthy Animal”! A classic for the holidays and now a board game for the family. This new game will be a hit on your next family game night. It is fun enough that those under 8 will enjoy watching over a shoulder and getting in on the fun. You play with 2-4 players.

Kevin needs to defend the house! As in the movie, the Wet Bandits want to steal loot. What will be your game position? Will you be a bandit and try to steal or be Kevin and defend with a variety of arsenal and contraptions? You bring the actual movie to life as you work through this game in a 5 step process: Draw, Loot, Kevin attempts, Bandits attempt and Clean-Up!

If I had to choose a game to relate this too, as different as it is I would say Battleship. Only because it is sort of a jab, jab- hit or miss type of game!

Contents:

  • 2 Player Boards (Kevin and Bandits)
  • 74 Cards
  • 3 Location Tiles
  • 1 Die
  • Instruction Booklet

I have partnered wit the following brands for this feature. This post contains affiliate links. Any opinions are my own

Falling for Baby Infant and Toddler Product Roundup

This season we are Falling for Baby! The following brands have great, new products that help us make parenting your infant and toddler easier. My youngest is 10 and I would be lying if I wasn’t tempted to be a new parent all over again. The new products that keep on coming are so brilliant. I am enamored how much thought and common sense is incorporated into main products like mattresses, diaper bags and toys! Enjoy this Infant and Toddler Product Roundup.

At Parenting Healthy I have featured many of these brands before. I also have some new brands I have partnered up with.

Take a look and leave a comment with any thoughts, tips for new parents and if you have or use any of these items from the baby and toddler product roundup. I’d love to hear about it!

Why had no one thought of this sooner? PopYum like a shaker bottle for formula. Like you carry your shakes to-go, you can now fill the bottle with water (or breast milk), add the formula and when ready to feed you press the button to release the plug and the formula drops. Shake it up and you can start feeding. You can do this all with one hand too! No more juggling baby while grabbing powder and mixing! They come in 5oz and 9oz sizes. They start at $12.99 in price.

A word from PopYum: When designing the PopYum bottle we set a number of goals including: it must be made of the safest material, easy to use with a single hand, have a more natural latch, be anti-colic, have a wide mouth design, and have only a few parts to assemble and clean. We are thrilled that we were able to create, what we believe, is a great baby bottle.

OK! This one is for Mom and Dad because we need that hot beverage on-the-go to keep up with baby (don’t worry there is more on their site for kids too)! The GoSili Silicone Coffee and Tea To-Go Cup is a favorite of mine and will make getting through cold morning sports games much more delightful. Because everything else thrown into the diaper bag is soft and pliable, so can your coffee cup be soft and silicone as well. It’s a great alternative to plastic to-go cups. It is dishwasher and microwave safe, as well as easy to clean!

A word about gosili/silikids: GoSili combines need-based innovation with the technological advantages of silicone, offering an alternative to plastic tableware found in and out of the kitchen  by creating  products for families that are safe, modern and made entirely out of silicone. The company is dedicated to building a social movement and creating a cultural shift away from toxic and unsustainable plastic wares by providing the alternative to them.

kTan diaper bag

I first found the BabyK’Tan brand by their swaddle blankets because I loved the fabric and patterns, but did you know they also have diaper and weekender bags? I have the diaper bag and my favorite feature is the antimicrobial pocket. Believe it or not, I haven’t seen this kind of pocket in a diaper bag and it is brilliant for wet clothes to keep separate and it is odor proof too!

A word from BabyK’Tan: A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of every Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is allocated to the American Heart Association and to help fund education, medical research, advocacy programs, and promotion of awareness and inclusion for individuals and families living with Down syndrome.

When you start packing you start by organizing by family member then utilize the few pockets in the suitcase and travel bags to give everything it’s own spot. Once you arrive to the hotel or sit down on that plane, you unzip that bag and realize that it won’t be but hours until everything is turned upside down. I began using bags to separate items for my 10 year old and even my own self. It makes it so easy to find items and keep them contained when you need to stay organized in small spaces. Easy Baby Travelers has many fun prints in travel bags and diaper bag organizers like these to make packing a breeze.

A word from Easy Baby Travelers: Separate and organize your baby/toddler supplies into their matching Easy Baby Traveler. Place your Easy Baby Travelers in any bag you want to call a diaper bag. Baby just ate? Now going on a quick lunch with your little and your girlfriends? Just take your Easy Baby Change Me Traveler, and leave the bulky diaper bag behind!

For some fun movements and sensory play these Fun Z Balls from Edushape are a hit. Each ball has a different shape and feel. They roll plan or funny and they’ll never know they are learning while playing!

A word from Edushape: Edushape playthings have an immediate appeal to the visual, the auditory and the tactile. They encourage creativity and imagination and invite parents to enter their child’s inner world through the memories of their own childhood. It is through play that children learn to explore their feelings and discover their relationship to everything around them.
