My kids love when I ask them if they want to help me out with my blog. When it comes to testing out new toys, my kids LOVE to help me. And I love to be able to get them involved with my career. And let’s be honest, what kid doesn’t want to play with new toys! Hasbro sent me a box filled with lots of new toys and games to try out! The toys and games below would make excellent birthday and Christmas presents!
DISNEY ELENA OF AVALOR AND ISABEL DOLL 2-PACK
How cute are these dolls? Elena and Isabel of Avalor are sisters who live in their enchanted kingdom. These fashion dolls come dressed in their TV series-inspired dresses, complete with fun, removable accessories – a book for Isabel of Avalor that opens and she can hold, a belt, hairclips, shoes, and earrings!
PLAYSKOOL CHASE ‘N GO BALL POPPER
This toy is for children 9 months and older. But let me tell you, my daughter (23 months) and son (almost 4) LOVE it. They’ve played together (without, ahem, fighting) and love watching the balls go flying through the air and then restuffing the toy with more balls.
With the Playskool Chase ‘n Go Ball Popper, kids can practice their gross motor skills by sitting or standing to place the balls in the toy. Pressing the big button to start the 6 tunes and ball popping can help them explore cause and effect.
When it’s time to change things up, switch the poppin’ fun with an easy turn of the elephant’s trunk. When the trunk faces toward the elephant, the balls will continuously cycle through the toy, which can help encourage baby’s eye tracking. Turn the trunk away from the elephant to help encourage gross motor skills through race ‘n chase fun as the balls launch around the room!
PLAY-DOH DOCTOR DRILL ‘N FILL RETRO PACK
This Play-Doh Doctor Drill ‘n Fill set is SO much fun! I love it because while we played with it, we talked about the different things the dentist does and it has prepared my son more for his first dentist appointment which is coming up! With the set you can shape teeth with the tooth molds. Then, using the electric drill you can fill in the molds with more Play-Doh compound! Add some braces with the roller, and squeeze some pretend toothpaste through the toothbrush!
My son loves his Play-Doh Ice Cream Castle! It has provided him with hours of fun. I’ve loved watching him use his imagination as he has created new ice cream concoctions.
With the 6 ice cream discs, kids can choose different shapes to press out their swirly Play-Doh ice cream. Just pop one into the center tower to switch up the fun! The Play-Doh soft-serve machine also features an easy-press handle for smaller hands. When the dishes are filled to the brim with swirly Play-Doh treats, move over to the topping stations to cover them in wacky whipped cream and crazy sprinkles. The sprinkle crank and frosting tool are also removable for freehand decorating. For even more creativity, this Play-Doh ice cream wonderland also features Confetti compound filled with specs of colorful confetti!

This is the perfect gift for Transformers lovers! Power Surge Optimus Prime is an 11-inch tall figure which comes with a Mini-Con Weaponizers Aerobolt figure and battles in 4 modes. It features pop-out cannons and wings, lights, phrases, and sounds – activated by attaching the included Aerobolt Mini-Con Weaponizers figure.

Flight mode features flying sounds, and Power Surge mode unleashes the figure’s full feature set.
This game is SO addicting! In fact, I’m perfectly content playing it all by myself! Bop It! game uses move it motion technology to test players and see if they’ve got the skills to master Bop It! game. The ten moves are: whip it, drink it, selfie it, hammer it, answer it, cradle it, saw it, sing it, golf it, and comb it. The Bop It! game is a portable game for on-the-go fun.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
