Children is the broader term for infants, toddlers and tweens. These posts are about children of all ages.
I don’t want a box phone from the 70’s. However there is some tech from that era that still rocks, especially with a couple improvements. Electric Football is like that. That hum. The way that the players vibrated, that hum and the fun that you and your friends yelling at the game. Tudor Games has revamped Electric Football for a new age and the results are pretty cool.

In November 2013 we reviewed Alphablock from these same authors and our headline was almost the same. Countablock follows the same presentation that Alphablock did so well, except this time with numbers from 1 to 100. It’s written by Christopher Franceschelli with the art by Peskimo. Countablock is intended for ages 1-3, but our almost 5 year old loves it and don’t get tired of reading it to them either.

Every morning when the kids get downstairs it’s the same ritual. Our youngest sits to my left and his older brother sits directly across from him. He’ll talk about how he had “a good sleep” and ask about what we’re doing tomorrow-at which point I’ll remind him that we have lots of fun stuff to do today. While all of this is happening, Abby, our 14 year-old flat coat retriever has already set up camp under our youngest’s chair. He’s just the right height to massage her with his bare feet and if anyone at the table is going to drop something edible it’s going to be him. It was also at this point that I realized that this is one of those moments, specifically those periods of time.

Planes is the kind of direct to DVD workhorse that most studios would love to have. In this case, as in the first Planes, it goes to theaters for a week or two and will be out on DVD in two months. It’s not a slam to say direct to DVD. However, it’s not at the same Frozen level of quality that families expect from the brand. Disney will make about 200 million in theaters and push it out on DVD. With all this in mind, Planes: Fire and Rescue is better than the first movie and has some genuine laughs in it.
