Doc McStuffins is one of the most popular shows on Disney Jr. It features a young doctor who cares for and fixes all of toys in her neighborhood. Stuffy the Dragon is one of Doc’s patients and friends – and he has now his own Check Up play set. In truth, it is very similar to the Doc McStuffin’s Check up kit… but it is more geared towards boys. Fortunately, for us, our daughter’s favorite color is blue and she was thrilled to have an all blue doctor kit!

Notes-

– Comes with an Otoscope, blood pressure cuff, sound effects stethoscope, stickers, syringe, and a doctors bag.

– The stethoscope plays sounds from Stuffy and the Doc McStuffins show.

– The doctor’s bag isn’t as effective in holding all of Stuffy’s doctor gear as the Doc McStuffins Doctor bag

– Another difference from the Doc McStuffins Doctor bag is that a thermometer is not included (which seems an odd).

Final Verdict – The Disney Doc McStuffins Stuffy’s Check up set is a nice alternative for boys (and possibly girls) who would prefer a blue set over a pink and purple bag. You sacrifice a thermometer but gain a blue, stuffy inspired, play set. Recommended for Doc McStuffins fans and inspiring doctors everywhere.

About Doc McStuffins
Who doesn’t love seven year old Doc McStuffins? We love this little doctor to be on Disney Jr. Like The Engineering Family, she uses imaginative play to learn life lessons and grow her smarts! Thus it’s no surprise The Engineering Family has toy unboxings and Disney game videos dedicated to the one and only Doc McStuffins. From Doc McStuffins episodes reenacted with Doc McStuffins toys to toy reviews like Doc McStuffins Stuffy’s Check Up Set and the Doc McStuffins Rockin’ Doc Sing Along Boombox, there is something for all your Disney junior. ​​​

PLANES Movie Sky Track Challenge with Dusty Crophopper

We love Disney’s movie PLANES! See all of our Surprise videos http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoLQ9unpi4OEEM3rUVjLGa0pUaXQvW3Wd

Ok, one thing needs to be stated up front – only ONE plane is included in the trackset (Dusty Crophooper) – and for maximum fun you will need two planes… so you will need to purchase an additional plane. However, once you have a second plane this Sky track Challenge Set is fun. While younger children (under 4) may struggle older kids will enjoy setting up the track and creating a large variety of stunts for the planes.

Are there a few issues with the Sky Track Challenge Set? Yes… it can be a bit flimsy at times…… and it is too large to easily store without losing some of the parts. However, in our case the positives out weigh the negatives.

Notes

– Only one plane is included – Dusty CropHopper

– You will need a table or some sort of surface that you can clamp (using the included C clamp) – and you will need at least 2 feet of vertical drop between the table and the floor

– Assembly takes at least 15 minutes – but in ways this is one of the better parts to the toy. It is fun designing the course and how each plane will encounter the rolls.

– When racing the first plane to hit the finish gate causes the flag to pop op.

– Each plane is fitted into a plastic harness/frame that guides it down the track

– One thing to note – the clips that join the track together need to be connected in a way that keeps the track smooth – this is done by using the clips underneath the track (see the video)

– Storage is a bit of a pain – there really isn’t a good way to store and save space.

-Ages 3 and up – but probably better suited for children over 5

Final verdict – While we would have preferred that the set came with two planes, but other than that (and its large footprint when trying to store) it is a fun toy for any fan of Disney Pixar’s Planes.

Cute Song for Children – Peek-A-Boo Song

The Peek-A-Boo song is a cute song for children, toddlers, and babies where kids can have fun playing and putting the “boo” in peek-a-boo along with Katie.

The Peek-A-Boo song was inspired by the classic giggle-producing children’s game of peek-a-boo; a fun game that has entertained and engaged kids for years. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

The Play Doh Cake Makin’ Station lets kids make and decorate their own cakes. Older children will really enjoy using the molds and the cake makin’ station – but younger kids will struggle to do anything other than use the side press for cupcake and the molds for decorations.

Notes

– Comes with 4 cans of Play Doh – White, Blue, Brown and Pink

– The side of the station features a cupcake press (which works very well)

– A small extruder is included for making real looking frosting.

– Comes with multiple press tops and cake molds – again they are fun but younger kids will have a hard time mastering the cake makin station.

– A plate, spoon, knife and fork are included – a real looking candle can be made from the handle of the knife

– Clean up is not too difficult

Final Verdict – There are definitely better Play Doh Sweet Shoppe play sets out there for younger children, but older kids may like all of the options and the very real looking cakes that can be made

Play Doh Mega Fun Factory Play-Doh Fun Toys Video Unboxing

Play Doh is always a fun option for a rainy old cold afternoon. The Play Doh Mega Fun Factory is (in some ways) the very best of the Play Doh toys (and I have reviewed nearly 30 of them!). The Mega Fun factory helps to introduce your child to the concept of an assembly line.

– The conveyor belt does move slowly, but that is ok because there is a lot going on. Your child will need to press the wheel into the Play Doh (which does stop the conveyor)

– Comes with two wheels that feature molds with a large variety of shapes. Pulling out on the side wheels will unlock it and allow it to be swapped.

Final Verdict – While your child may lose interest after extended play – the Play Doh Mega Fun Factory is visually impressive and helps to teach children some of the basics of mechanics. As a side note… this is one Play Doh toys that dads will be very eager to help with!

5 Stars

ARIEL Little Mermaid Fisher Price Castle Playset Unboxing

We love Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid! See all of our Surprise videos http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoLQ9unpi4OEEM3rUVjLGa0pUaXQvW3Wd

Our daughter is a big fan of the Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace. While she doesn’t play with it every day (anymore) it has kept her attention for nearly 1 year. Now that the Little People Ariel’s Castle has come out we thought that it would make a nice addition to the Song Palace… and out daughter really does like it.

Notes

– Comes with both Ariel and Flounder – the Ariel figure works with Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace

– When the treasure chest in the castle is opened it plays music – the playset does require 2 AAA batteries which are not included

– Comes with a chariot that will hold two Little People figures

– The Set folds up, but does not snap shut… it looks like it should snap shut, but we can’t figure it out!

– Other features…. a slide for Ariel and flounder, a vanity with a mirror that flips into a picture. and a two person chair.

– Minor assembly require – it should take less than 5 minutes, but does require a philips head screw driver.

Final verdict – The Fisher Price Little People Ariel’s Castle is a fun toy for any fan of Ariel or the Little Mermaid. While the Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace is bigger and offers more options for the princesses – but Ariel’s Castle is smaller and may be a better choice for fans of the Little Mermaid

Comparison of Little People Princess and Mike the Knight Klip Klop Playsets

We love Little People’s Disney Princess Belle and Mike the Knight! See all of our Surprise videos http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoLQ9unpi4OEEM3rUVjLGa0pUaXQvW3Wd

If you have never seen them, the Fisher Price Little People Klip Klop toys are some of the coolest new toys to hit the market. They are a combination of old school toys with new characters from both Disney and Nickelodeon. I will admit that our (nearly) 4 year old daughter prefers the Little People Disney Princess Klip Klop Stable over the Mike the Knight Arena… and not just because she is a girl.

The Princess Stable features a series of ramps and (you guessed it) stables for the Disney Princesses and their horse to hang out. The Stables also features a Castle region where the princesses and their horses can dance to music and even march down the Castle’s ramp. Our family’s opinion is that the Princess Stables is one of the best toys available for children under 4.

Mike the Knight Arena – The arena features a ramp that Mike the Knight can Klip Klop into a jousting arean where he knocks down the targets. Mike and his horse Galahad Klip Klop down portions and then charge down others – making it a faster toy than the Princess Stable. However, Mike can get a little unstable (and unlike the Princess Stable) and tip over. While it is a cool toy it is a bit of a one trick pony (no pun intended) and does not feature all of the additional areas of play like the Princess Stables/

Which is better? Well it depends on if you are a bigger fan of Mike the Knight or Disney Princesses – but this dad thinks that the Princess Stables offers more activities and provides more areas for imaginative play!

CARS Fisher-Price Little People Wheelies Radiator Springs Unboxing and Review

We love the new Disney Pixar movie CARS! See all of our Surprise videos http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoLQ9unpi4OEEM3rUVjLGa0pUaXQvW3Wd

The Fisher Price Little People Wheelies Cars Radiator Springs Playset (now that is a mouthful!) is a small figure eight racing track. The Wheelies car roll smoothly and really do race down the track. One of the nice things about Disney Pixar Cars toys is that both boys and girls enjoy playing with them. While my daughter initially called it a “boy toy” she soon started playing with Mater and enjoyed sending him down the track.

The age range for the playset is ages 18months to 5 years – and that is pretty accurate. There are no small parts that would keep younger children from using, but older children – ages 4 and up- may find it a little too simple.

Notes

– Comes with Little People Wheelies Lightning McQueen and Mater – both roll very easily and are perfectly sized for toddler hands.

– Assembly is pretty easy and takes about 5 minutes

– Does not use batteries which is nice because it means that it is quiet… no overly loud music, blinking lights, or horns blaring that would disturb the peace!

– Has a rotating table – not sure the purpose but our daughter likes it

– Has a storage garage for Lighting McQueen or Mater to take a nap!

Final verdict – A basic but fun playset – older children will like it but they may lose interest after 10 to 20 minutes. Younger children will love watching Lightning McQueen and Mater racing down the track. Recommended
