The Easy Bake Oven, the only toy every mom is ok with buying for their kids because of precious memories, has now launched the ULTIMATE Oven for little girls who just love treats!
Sadly, it's not much different from the model before this one, the pink stove. Although, they have added many new baking possiblities, such as red velvet cupcakes, pretzels, cookies, checker cakes, cinnamon twists, brownie sticks, even pizza. Other than that, the only new physical feature is that it has a storage cabinet. Otherwise, it just comes with the a cupcake pan, mix for 12 mini cupcakes and 12 mini cookies, sprinkles, a pan pusher, and a baking pan. Remember that the Easy Bake Oven does not make the best treats, but for most kids, as long as they made it, it's delicious ;).
As Christmas 2011 inches closer, some mothers are starting the pre-order frenzy early. So to help out, I'm making a few predictions on what toys are going to sell out closer to the big day:
Leapfrog LeapPad 2011:
Does you're child jsut LOVE to play on your iPad? Well, now there is a new, kid-friendly, tablet for kids. Protected by a plastic cover, this tablet, takes pictures, video, has over 100 downloadable games and apps, the ability to watch videos, and teaches your little one to read and write also! This has already been released at places like Walmart, Amazon, ect.
Lalaloopsy DS:
Travel around Lalaloopsy World, while meeting other dolls. Play mini-games together, like making cookies with Crumbs, growing flowers, and much more. Will be released November 8,2011 and will retail for 30$.
Littlest Pet Shop Walkable Pets
They walk, they talk, and they're the newest toys in the LPS line. These tiny pets are ADORABLE and would be great for little stocking stuffers. To make it more realistic, certain animals go faster than others, like the seal is the fastest, and the snail is the slowest. They retail for about 8.99.
Cookie My Playful Pup
Cookie was first seen at Toy Fair 2011, and get this, Cookie responds to your voice, touch, and turns to look at you! Cool! Will retail for 59.99.
Figit Friends
These cute robots talk to you by noticing over 30+ keywords, dance to music, and are so fun to squish and touch!
Hope I helped some kids (and moms) this year!
UPDATE: Here's a updated list of hot toys for Holidays 2011!
You've seen the app. You've heard the song Chopped and Skrewed. You want to be just like T-Pain. Now you can, with the I-Am T-Pain microphone by Jakks Pacific.
Created and endorsed by the man himself, this mic will surely be on the top Holiday Toy list. I first saw this mic at Walmart.com, and the commercials are HILARIOUS! At first it, it's just a regular mic, but press the T-Pain effect button, and you'll be jammin' like a pro! There are 3 beats built in on the mic, and you can choose from 6 beat effects to add to it. Then you can record, and save your "song " to your computer. GREAT for a holiday gift, or just for a day of bonding with your children, making songs while spinning around in the kitchen. I HIGHLY reccomend this product.
The first time I spotted the free version of this app, I downloaded it along with "Amy's Froyo 2". With Amy's Froyo I want through a series of disappointments, as you have to pay for all the toppings, cups, spoons, and flavors. I went from stage to next stage, hoping there would be more than five things to choose from, but sadly, I was let down. So I opened up "Make Froyo!-Free" And for a free version of an app, there were a surprising number of flavors, cups, and toppings (8 cups, 12 flavors, 19 toppings!). So I was delighted to receive the full version to review!
Let me tell you something before I go on with the review: This app is REALLY realistic, so it's going to make you REALLY hungry. Luckily I came armed with an Almond Joy bar. Anyway, the full version has 5 extra flavors, 9 extra cups, 15 extra topping, and 12 spoons. The new cups designs are ADORABLE. I found myself staring at a cup with a bunny on it for what felt like an hour.
Gameplay: Smooth on newer models, but a bit slow on older
Graphics: Realistic, Delicious
Also, you have the pleasure of weighing your creation to see how much it costs, then it's time to eat, and with this app, you'll really want to eat it! Overall, I really enjoyed this app, and for no reason, I'm just going to write my favorite froyo flavor from this app.
Favorite Flavor: Cookies 'n' Cream
Thanks for reading ToyInformer's FIRST app review!
