UNO Moo! for Preschoolers *Giveaway*

3:55 PM Posted by The Mom Jen


Toddlers will be heading to the farm this holiday season with UNO Moo! by Mattel. The fun and educational game is designed for preschoolers, featuring simplified UNO gameplay and 28 adorable farm animal figures.

The object of the game is to be the first to get rid of all your barnyard animals by matching colors and figures to get your animals in the barn. When the players are down to one figure – they must yell “UNO Moo”! The first player to successfully move all of their barnyard animals into the barn wins!
  • Helps preschoolers learn about colors and matching
  • Includes 28 animal and farmer figures
  • Plus, one Play-and-Store Barn and four haystack partitions
  • Adorable and portable!
  • Great for ages 3+
Uniquely packaged, UNO Moo! is contained in a barn-designed case which doubles as storage and comes equipped with a handle, making the game practical and portable. Perfect for family game play, travel to a friend’s or Grandma’s house, and at an affordable price point of $19.99 too!

UNO Moo!™ is a great way to help young kids learn colors, animals and sounds – making it a big hit with parents, too. Even the game’s play pattern and rules were developed with preschoolers in mind. According to Sheila Baxter, Manager Worldwide Consumer Insights, Mattel, Inc., “Based on various research studies on preschool games that involved card play, the figures in UNO Moo! proved to be much more intuitive for preschoolers to work with and easier for them to grip in their little hands. UNO Moo! also features a simplified version of traditional UNO game rules, by replacing the iconic “wild” and “draw 2” cards with figures, which preschoolers were able to easily recognize and associate with its corresponding rule.”

Our Take: We are a big game-playing family. We love the traditional UNO card game that my youngest, who is 3 and a half, has already been exposed to. UNO Moo! was a perfect game to play with her as she knows the basics of the game already, but the pieces are made especially to appeal to her! The game was easy to learn and soon my daughter was teaching her 8 and 10 year old siblings when they got home from school! The barn itself is the carrying case and that is always a subtly brilliant idea to contain all the parts. My daughter loves carrying it around. We're practicing counting to 28 to make sure all the animals are in the box. We highly recommend this game for family game night or as a gift to a preschooler in your life!

Thanks to Mattel, I have THREE (3) UNO Moo! games to giveaway to 3 lucky readers of The Mom Reviews!

Crayola "Lights, Camera, Color" *Giveaway*

10:15 AM Posted by The Mom Jen


Whether it´s a family vacation, a birthday celebration or a momentous moment on the soccer field, "Lights, Camera, Color" makes kids photos one for the books - personalized, one-of-a-kind coloring books, that is.

Crayola´s "Lights, Camera, Color," the only application of its kind for kids, was created to bring online and offline creativity together to inspire kids to color and create in a whole new way!

The kid-friendly, easy-to-use online application at Crayola.com allows children to upload their digital photos and transform them into unique coloring pages, then add fun designs and pictures that turn them into totally customized creations. Specially-marked Crayola crayon boxes (48, 64, 96, 120-ct. as well as the 150-ct. Crayon Tower) will include a code that lets you print custom coloring pages. Kids and moms can try out the application for free online at Crayola.com/colorme at anytime, but a code is required to print out the personalized coloring pages. Each code found in 64-count boxes and larger is good for six months of unlimited prints. The 48-count box has a code that is good for three months of unlimited prints.

Here´s how kids (and ahem moms) can transform their memories into customized coloring pages:

1. Upload a new or existing digital photo onto the "Lights, Camera, Color" application at Crayola.com/colorme.

2. Print out your coloring page or save and send it to Coloring Page Maker to customize with fun graphics.

3. Choose a background: you can choose from several including a desert, a beach, a haunted house and more.

4. Add props such as a hat, mustache, wings, etc.

5. Select words/phrases: "Best Friends," "Kids Only," "All Star" to name just a few.

6. Save and print.

7. Start coloring your one-of-a-kind creation.

Our Take: We have tons of memories that we keep in photos and how fun is it to take some of those pictures and turn them into a personal coloring book for a child, friend, gift, etc! Brings the memories back to life in the most creative way! We are working on a baseball book for my son since his team last year won the championships! Here's a sample of one of the pages...




I have a one day pass code for my readers so you too can experience Lights, Camera, Color: PRT77F3S.

To make this activity even more fun, I have a Telescoping Tower of 150 Crayola Crayons to giveaway to one lucky reader of The Mom Reviews!!

Rebecca Frezza & Big Truck-Children's Music *Giveaway*

10:01 AM Posted by The Mom Jen



Rebecca Frezza & Big Truck, familiar to families across the country through their their music videos on the Noggin Channel and PBS KIDS, will release their fifth album in time for the holidays. Rockin’, Rollin’ and Ridin’ features Roscoe Orman – known to millions for his 35 years as “Gordon” on PBS-TV’s Sesame Street - as guest artist.

Rockin’, Rollin’, and Ridin’ is a 23-minute EP, featuring six new Rebecca Frezza songs, plus two special, remixed audio tracks and a bonus video, each one highlighting the high energy, tight ensemble work of vocalist Rebecca Frezza and the precision backup singers and instrumentalists of Big Truck. The album will be “stocking stuffer” priced at only $8.99.

Rockin’, Rollin’ and Ridin’ will be released on November 10.

Our Take: My youngest loves music and dancing and it just makes it more special when she knows what we're playing is made for her! We tell her, this is "your music" and she just loves it. We've caught Rebecca Frezza's music on PBS Kids and Noggin before so the catchy tunes are familiar to my daughter and the videos are even more fun to watch! Our favorite tune is Rock Like This because we can all act out all the parts of the song and really get into it! Robot Dancer is a super fun song to dance to, my 3 kids all love to make up Robot Dances with it's funky music and lyrics. What a great EP, you're going to LOVE it!

On Tour now on the East Coast...

Style Six: Silk Screener for Girls 8 and Up!

3:48 PM Posted by The Mom Jen


JAKKS Pacific, Inc. is excited to introduce Style Six fashion activity kits for Fall 2009 that empower young fashionistas to express their unique sense of style.

With Style Six embellishing tools, girls can design and customize almost any item in their wardrobe with today’s hottest fashion trends, perfectly suited for back-to-school and all throughout the holiday. In Hollywood, you haven’t arrived until you have your own clothing, handbag, or jewelry line, and the Style Six product line from JAKKS Pacific allows girls to be their own fashion designer by customizing their t-shirts, jeans, purses, hats, belts and more using the silkscreen, airbrush, stencils, felt, paint, ribbons, gems in the Style Six line.

STYLE SIX SILK SCREENER
Girls can tap into their creative channels with the Style Six Silk Screener by layering on cool and trendy printed graphics to t-shirts and other fashion pieces! The Silk Screener includes 2 silkscreen devices, paint bottles, blotter, roller, masking board, stencil sheets, supply tray, and a garment separator.




Our Take:My girls had LOADS of fun with the Silk Screener from Style Six. My oldest who will be 11 next week loves the idea of designing her own clothes and this is a perfect tool to do so. She took an older pink top and added hearts to it to give this shirt a second life with a creative twist, HER twist!! The process was simple too, even with some help, my 3 1/2 year old could paint her very own tee! I love all the designs and they'll be coming out with more and different paint colors as well. Sometimes when Tweens are so hard to please, finding this kind of activity is a blessing in disguise! With a minimal purchase of a pack of white tees, this is going to be used for a fun craft at my daughter's slumber birthday party next weekend! I would highly recommend this product if you have a girl 8 and over in your life. It's a perfect Christmas gift and reasonably priced at $39.99 (refill kits $4.99-$9.99).

Your styles can be further embellished as well, check out Style Six and find kits for attaching, foil application, airbrush, gem decorator, and felting!

This item was sent to me free of charge in return for an honest review. The opinions are our tried-and-true experience and was not influenced by any source. We were not compensated for this post.

Care Bears: Bear Buddies

3:47 PM Posted by The Mom Jen



Care Bears: Bear Buddies is the newest DVD release with eight never-before-released episodes from the top-rated Saturday morning CBS TV series. While supplies last, the all–new release comes packaged with a lovable toy bear buddy making for an incredible value. These adorable toy bears come in 6 different color characters, but are available for a limited time only, so kids will be eager to search for their favorite color bears on store shelves – and collect them all!

Come journey with the Care Bears into Care-a-lot where the Care Bears learn about being true to themselves and each other. Watch as Share, Oopsy, Love-a-lot and the rest of the Care Bears embark on new adventures that focus on “friendship” from creating a rockin’ music band to trying to cheer up a sad friend. Care Bears: Bear Buddies teaches kids valuable lessons about being true to themselves and each other, understanding, and forgiveness – themes of emotional intelligence that help kids develop and are mom-friendly.

The all-new Care Bears television series airs Saturday mornings on CBS as a top 5 rated show on US network TV, and currently enjoys 95% awareness among moms of girls ages 2-5. A beloved brand since the 1980s, Care Bears continues to be one of the most recognizable and top preschool properties in existence (according to Lieberman Consumer Research January 2006).

Our Take:
My youngest loves the Care Bears and held onto her "squishy" Bear Buddy the whole time she watched the show. That bear is also fun enough to join in the bathtub, so it's a huge hit and added bonus to the already fabulous DVD! Now that she's in preschool, my daughter learns great tips for dealing with other kids in class who may be sad and need cheering up!

INCLUDES 8 EPISODES:

o Belly Ball
o All You Need Is...
o Battle of the Band
o Whose Friend Is Who
o Present and Accounted For
o Forget It
o Gone
o True Heart’s Big Trip

Care Bears: Bear Buddies, which also features Kid Friendly Direct Play, allowing kids to play the DVD without the assistance of a parent, will be available for the suggested retail price of $14.98 at Amazon.com.

I was sent the DVD free of charge in return for an honest review. I was not compensated for this post. The opinions are our tried-and-true experience and were not influenced by any other source.

Madison Browne Children's Wear *Giveaway*

5:01 AM Posted by The Mom Jen


Madison Browne
is an exclusive online baby wear and children’s wear store, which has been designed to take the pain out of shopping for children and bring the best fashions and most stylish labels to the convenience of the rapidly growing online market.

The store showcase the latest collections from the most sought after baby wear and children's wear designers in Europe, many of which have not been made available online until now.

The labels that they stock include, amongst others, Ralph Lauren, Diesel, Tartine et Chocolat, Baby Graziella, Il Gufo, Simonetta, Aletta, La Perla, Marie Chantal, Vilebrequin and Elizabeth Hurley Beach. They have also just launched our first 100% baby cashmere collection under our own “Madison Browne” label – which is proving to be a popular gift option to celebrate new arrivals and birthdays.

In addition, we will shortly be launching at madisonbrowne.com the first, luxury childrenswear collection of a well known, international womenswear designer.

All purchases are elegantly tissue wrapped, packaged in a luxury monogrammed gift box and, for their London customers, personally hand delivered on the same day by uniformed driver to an address of choice! They also ship to the rest of the UK, Europe and World Wide by express delivery.

Each item comes with a detailed laminated care card that gives you in detail the best way to clean and care for your most delicate items from Madison Browne! I think that is a lovely added bonus.

Our Take: We were sent the gorgeous Taupe Belted Petticoat Dress and matching Bolero Cardigan, something we thought would be gorgeous for the upcoming winter holidays!



The dress fit perfectly and was so elegant. The quality of the material is top-notch and the dress is made very well with a beautiful petticoat beneath that peeks out the bottom of the dress. The cardigan was also a perfect fit and complemented the dress well. I love that the cardigan will give just enough warmth in the cooler months, as the dress is sleeveless. We will definitely have the dress for her holiday program at preschool as well as Christmas. Madison Browne truly makes wonderful clothing!


Madison Browne would like to offer one lucky reader of The Mom Reviews a similar dress and cardigan sweater in the size of your choice-subject to availability (nearly a $200 USD value)!!
