Good Luck!

Remember a few Christmas's ago, standing in line for the hottest new toy ZhuZhu pets? The Zhu Zhu craze is still going strong and the hottest addition to the ZhuZhu familiy is ZhuZhu babies.  Recently, I was given the chance to review the cutest addition to the ZhuZhu family.

ZhuZhu Babies
ZhuZhu  babies are much smaller than regular ZhuZhu's they also don't have the wheels that come with your traditional pets.  They do move around on different play sets, by magnets on the bottom of the play sets.   The adorable babies each come with a unique name, tiny birthmark, biography and a collectors number.  In each pack the babies comes with a bottle, rattle or toy to keep the ZhuZhu happy. You can also dress your baby up in different outfits.

What I liked
* Perfect for kids who like to play mommy
* Easy to dress (perfect for small hands)
* Easy to transport around, mom can put them in her purse!

What I disliked
I disliked the small accessories but, because my kids are probably like your kids, they don't see it as a problem.  If you have very small children or a puppy, like my house, you don't want to find the little pieces laying around.  My kids will be playing with the set on a separate floor that the dog is not allowed on so, everyone is happy.

Dance Recital Play-set
The ZhuZhu toys have play-sets for the babies and we were able to review the recital play-set.  The set has magnets that allow your ZhuZhu babies to move around on stage.  You add you regular size ZhuZhu's to
the play piano which make the babies move around.  The recital play-set has props that also move, and 2 scenes that the kids can use to create different shows for their babies.

What My Kids Liked
* Different back drops give kids different choices when playing
* We could use regular size ZhuZhu's with the babies ZhuZhu's
* The kids could use their imaginations instead of sitting in front of a computer or television

What My Kids Didn't Like
* There is some assembly required once the kids open the box.

Overall my kids and I loved these products from the ZhuZhu family.  I have an 8 year old and 5 year old and they really enjoyed playing with the babies and play-set.

Neighborhood toy stores are few and far between these days. So we are very lucky to have Tales and Toys in Olde Ridge Village right in our backyard. Located in Chadds Ford, Delaware County the store has been independently owned and operated for over 25 years.

Tales & Toys offers a unique collection of quality children's books, toys, games and dolls. What makes this store different than a big chain toy or retail store is their knowledgeable staff who are always available to help you make the perfect selection for everyone on your list.

It’s a twist on the neighborhood toy store you remember as a kid. Their online store lets search through their inventory and purchase online. They offer gift wrap free of charge and can ship your gift anywhere in the U.S.

Another twist on the traditional toy store model is that Tales & Toys partners with another great store in Olde Ridge Village, Special Teas Tea Room to offer themed Birthday parties including American Girl, Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious and Princess Teas!

The cost per person is $16.95 which includes:

• 1 1/2 hour private party in the Garden Room at Special Teas with a personal party hostess
• Tea Party Luncheon
• Story time, crafts and games appropriate for the theme
• Gift bag for each guest

For additional information about Tales & Toys visit their website.
