Disney on Ice Toy Story 3

Keriannot — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 18:41:14 +0000

Since it’s school vacation time here in Massachusetts, it means that Disney on Ice Toy Story 3 is in town! We were part of a lucky bunch of bloggers who got to celebrate the opening of Toy Story 3 in Boston, MA at the TD Garden! After dinner, brief character meet and greet and some much needed socializing, we took our seats for the best show in town. Many people were probably thinking — where you crazy bringing a 15 month old to a show at bedtime? Yes we were, but I’m so glad that we did! Gavin was so excited to have his first ride on a train into the TD Garden, and though he doesn’t yet know Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Ken & Barbie, he enjoyed bouncing up and down to the music, pointing and screaming at the “Dog” (Slinky Dog), “Neigh” (Bullseye) and “Bear” (Lots O Huggin Bear)! Though if you saw our Halloween picture from last year, we’ll be forever living in internet history as 3 of our favorite Toy Story 3 characters! Thank you Disney and BSM Media for coordinating such a fantastic event, our family had such an amazing experience. Here’s a link to the Disney on Ice website to find the show nearest your hometown!

Spud Lightyear Review

Keriannot — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 00:21:49 +0000

So everyone knows Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, but have you met Spud Lightyear? Not until Toy Fair last year did I get an education in the extended Mr. Potato Head family! If your kids are Toy Story lovers as well, what is there not to love with this awesome version of such a classic toy? Not only are Mr. Potato Head’s great for children to learn about body part recognition as well as to improve their fine motor skills, Mr. Potato Head is a very versatile toy. Many children have enjoyed placing the pieces in a cloth bag and with their eyes closed trying to find an ear, eye, nose or hand. We’ve also utilized the pieces in a multi sensory way by hiding them in rice, sand or Play-Doh!

Happy Halloween!

The Wilmot’s are dressing up as our favorite three characters from Toy Story: Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jessie this Halloween! Will you be dressing up with your children this year? We have had a lot of fun thinking about dressing up as a family for Gavin’s first mobile Halloween and were so excited that Disguise has given us this opportunity.

One thing parents often tell me is that once the day of Halloween arrives they don’t know what to do because some children absolutely refuse to wear their costume! Some costumes have different textures on them and others due to their design, just make it difficult for children to move in them. Here are some ideas I have for your pre-Halloween preparations:

1. Allow ample opportunities for your children to wear their costumes, even if it’s for just a few minutes, working up to an hour or so each day so that on the big day of Halloween, they will know how it feels like and how to move in it.

2. Once the kids are dressed up, role play trick or treating within your home, encouraging your children to understand the concepts of how to just pick one piece of candy, say Trick or Treat when they get up to the door and how to follow it up with a “Please and Thank You!”

3. Reiterate safety rules of the road ahead of time, practice crossing the street by looking both ways, holding hands with a parent when necessary, and for older children a meeting place at the end of each sidewalk or driveway if they should become separated from you.

4. Talk about what you might see on the night of Halloween. Some children have silly costumes, some have scary costumes and that some houses may have lights and sounds that can be scary but to remember that this is all just for fun!

5. Practice scaring them by playing “Boo” and “Hide and Seek” in the dark inside the house using flashlights to try to prepare them for the unexpected!

Disguise, a Jakks Pacific company, provided the Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jessie costumes for the purpose of this review. All opinions provided in this post, are purely the bloggers own. Disguise costumes are commercially located in stores around the country including Target, K-Mart, Party City, Wal-Mart, etc.
