Digimon Fusion Season 1, Volume 1 is on DVD

Anime fans in the United States have had to wait to watch Digimon Fusion on DVD. The series airs in English on NickToons and the second season is on the air now. Granted Digimon Fusion has been available on video, but it’s been the Japanese export and unless your Japanese was very good you weren’t able to understand most of it. Digimon Season 1, Volume 1 is now available on a 3 disc collection with 330 minutes of digital creatures and teen heroes.

Little Tikes Fish N’ Splash Water Table review

Hey, we received the item for review purposes. All thoughts are our own. There are a couple mandatory items that I have for children three and under. They include a good quality stroller, a sandbox (with some sand toys!), building blocks for inside play and a water table. We did not get a water table for our oldest until he was almost four and he immediately gravitated towards it. Currently our almost four year old can’t get enough of the Little Tikes Fish N’ Splash Water Table. It’s his go-to play area when he’s outside and his almost six year old brother gets in on the action too.

Tales of a Fifth-Grade Knight-a young reader book packed with great imagery

Tales of a Fifth-Grade Knight has the imagination and wallets of older elementary school or middle age students its sights. It’s based on a simple premise that you’ve certainly heard before but what makes the book really stand out is the through-the-looking glass world you experience once things go sideways. The chapters are around 12 pages so they’re too long for a good-night book, but just right for those school age children that we mentioned.

Snow doubt, Are We There, Yeti? is a 1-pun book that small children will enjoy

Are We There, Yeti starts out with Yeti, the school bus driver being introduced. Yeti is about the take the kids on a trip and they want to know where they are going. Anyone who had driven children two or older around will have a Pavlovian response to the “Are we there yet” query. It’s closely related to the
“Are we done yet” query, but possibly more annoying because everyone involved in the conversation is trapped inside of a moving vehicle. Are We There, Yeti? takes that question, makes the driver of the vehicle a Yeti, combines it with soft, muted art to create a good-night book that kids 2-5 will really get a laugh out of.

Celebrate World Play-Doh Day on September 16

Wednesday, September 16 is World Play-Doh Day! What exactly did parents do before Play-Doh was invented in 1956? And they only had four colors to entertain the kids with! Now there are over 50 colors, more than two billion Play-Doh cans have been sold and the average time that each separate color is blended into one green/gray color is :60. OK, that last factoid is based exclusively on our house, the amount of time could be shorter or longer in your house.

Not This Bear is pre-school comfort food

Our oldest grew up on the Biscuit books. We purchased the Happy Halloween Biscuit board book shortly after his birth and it’s been with us ever since. When he turned two we also got a couple from the I Can Read Book series and they’re still with us. Author Alyssa Satin Capucilli’s latest book, Not This Bear, is not a Biscuit book, but it has all of warmth, charm and approachability that you’d expect her stand out title to have.

Doing what I can to #EndMommyWars from a dad’s perspective

We were compensated for this post, all thoughts are our own. Hey, I’m Trey and I’m a stay at home dad. As a dad I get off easy when it comes to the whole mommy wars issue. My wife and I don’t raise our children the way that you do. We certainly raise them the way that some of you, but not all of you. They go to sleep earlier than some of your kids, maybe watch more television that yours, possibly use the computer more and probably listen to more kindie. Having said that, so what? Similac is asking for a story from you about how you were judged, criticized or made to feel like a bad parent.
