I know you don't want to hear it, but the holidays are right around the corner. There are only 92 days until Christmas. And, you know that once Halloween comes and goes, then November is usually a crazy month prepping for Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, etc. If you blink quick, it is December, and Santa will be loading up his sleigh with gifts. Over the weekend I went to the stores with my girls to look for accessories to go with their Halloween costumes, and couldn't believe that some of the stores already had Christmas aisles set up. It was like Halloween was a week or so in stores, and now they are in full Christmas mode. After seeing this, it got me thinking about holiday shopping. Every year I say I am going to start early and get everything done by the 1st of November -- that way I don't have to deal with crowded stores and malls and the craziness of shopping online and dealing with shipping delays. I took the stores holiday setup as a reminder to start my holiday shopping now, as November 1st will be here before I know it. So, as I plan my shopping list, I thought I would share some of the hot new toys that are sure to be must have toys for kids this holiday season. I have found that it is better to buy now than deal with it selling out when everyone starts doing their holiday shopping. You don't want any added stress of running from store to store or paying double online, just to get those must-have toys this holiday season.
The first set of toys I wanted to share are from one of my favorite toy brands, WowWee. You may recall me sharing a post a couple weeks ago about their new Lucky Fortune BFF Series 2 toys. Well, today I wanted to share another of their new toy releases -- the Pinkfong Baby Shark Toys. Yes, I am talking about the Baby Shark song that you have probably found yourself singing after hearing your kids play it over and over again. While most adults scratch their heads and wonder how this ever became a thing, kids of all ages, can't get enough of the silly song, that is oh so catchy. You can't not hear it and want to sing along.
I received a press release back in late July about new Pinkfong Baby Shark Toys which would be releasing in late August WowWee. They included a Baby Shark fingerling and a Pinkfong Baby Shark hand puppet. The kind folks at WowWee sent along a sample of each of these new toys for my girls to help me review. Even though they are 7.5 and 9 years old, they still love all things Baby Shark, and will play this song and sing and dance along to it. When we received the toy samples, my girls both grinned from ear to ear. They had saw commercials on television for these two new WowWee toys and were hoping that they would get a chance to review for my blog. If not, they were going to ask Santa for them. So, I beat Santa to the deliver, as I had these hot holiday toys in hand and ready for my girls to help me review.
We started with the oh so cute Pinkfong Baby Shark Fingerling. Just like with other Fingerlings from WowWee, this one gives kisses and interacts with kids when they move it all about.
But, what is neat about this new fingerling is that it plays the catchy Baby Shark song, which you can control the pitch and speed by moving your fingerling up and down or side to side.
Both of my girls couldn't stop smiling and giggling as they tried out the different interactive features of their new fingerlings.
They both agreed that out of all the fingerlings that they have -- and they have a lot -- that this new Pinkfong Baby Shark fingerling from WowWee is their favorite.
They especially loved how the fin lights up, and the tail shakes when you move it. They ended up playing with their new Baby Shark Fingerling for quite a while, before I reminded them that they had the Baby Shark Song Puppet to check out and review.
The new WowWee Pinkfong Baby Shark Official Song Puppet with Tempo Control is available in three character options -- Baby Shark (Yellow), Daddy Shark (Blue) or Mommy Shark (Pink). They retail for $19.88, and are available from Amazon as well as at most major toy retailers including Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, etc.
Batteries are included with this song puppet, so you can play with it right out of the packaging. Unlike many song toys, this cute (spot clean only) plush plays the entire Baby Shark song. Kids and adults can control the tempo of the song by moving the shark's mouth faster or slower.
While little ones with smaller hands may have a little trouble moving the mouth, once they get used to moving it, they will not want to stop playing with this song puppet. My girls said they saw the commercial for this new WowWee toy on television and thought it was a fun toy.
They said they hope they can get the remaining two Baby Shark characters, so that they can have the whole shark family sing the song. Oh boy, I am good with one Baby Shark song puppet....not sure how I will handle Baby Shark playing from all these toys. :-)
My girls really had a blast playing with these two new Pinkfong Baby Shark toys from WowWee. If the song puppets and fingerling weren't enough to satisfy that special Baby Shark fan in your life, you can also find cute bath squirt toys, song cubes, song dolls 12", dancing dolls, a smartphone, shape sorter, melody walker, tablet, plush clips for purchase from WowWee. I know you could go all out and fill the tree with Baby Shark toys for your little ones this holiday season, right?! :-) The hard part will be deciding which of these cute toys, which play the catchy Baby Shark song, to gift your child. My girls said that they recommend the fingerling and song puppets if you can't choose. They have had these two Baby Shark toys for a couple weeks now and continue to play with them each day.
