Every year my children are blessed with new toys under the tree, and you can bet that there is always something from Mattel. My daughter’s Barbie collection alone is evidence of our love for Mattel. As much as I love Barbies and Fisher Price toys, Mattel has a lot more to offer than that. Thomas and Friends, Hot Wheels and the famously popular Monster High dolls are all Mattel toys.
Here are a few Mattel toys that your children may want to find under the tree this Christmas: Fijit Friends Yippits, Hot Wheels Wall Tracks and the popular Apples to Apples game.
Fijit Friends Yippits Assortment
Fijit Friends Yippits are the dynamic dancing pets that perform tricks! The more a girl plays with her Fijit Friends Yippits, the better it performs! A clap sensor allows it to understand commands; more nurturing leads to greater consistency in performance. Game play involves music, dancing and the clap sensor. Fijit Friends Yippits also unlock exclusive content in the original Fijit Friends!
My daughter has been talking about Fijit Friends for awhile. Some of her friends have them, and they are a big hit with the eight year old girls…probably with the boys too! They dance and play music and generally entertain the kids.
HOT WHEELS WALL TRACKS POWER TOWER
It’s a tower of fun with a motorized elevator that moves cars to the top of the set for continuous play! Once at the top and released onto the track, there are multiple options for diversion, including a moving saw and chomping monster. Will the vehicles make it through? Those that get “eaten” fall through the trapdoor while safe cars continue back up the elevator for another round. A full-colour poster serves as a hanging template and makes the perfect backdrop for the action and adventure.
My husband loves Hot Wheels tracks almost as much as the kids. I have never been as crazy about them because of the floor space they take up. Mattel has solved that problem by creating these Hot Wheels Wall Tracks! It’s an incredibly creative idea for kids to still have fun with their hot wheels and tracks without taking up the floor space! It’s brilliant, in my opinion.
Apples to Apples Party Box
The wild card and party game that provides instant fun for four to 10 players! It’s as easy as “comparing apples to apples”…just open the box, deal the cards and you’re ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card, you win that round. And everyone gets a chance to be the judge! Each round is filled with surprising and outrageous comparisons from a wide range of people, places, things and events. Fast moving and refreshing, Apples to Apples® is perfect for any get-together with family and friends!
We love family game night, but it does get a little boring for the bigger people in the house if we are always playing little kid games. Now we have a game that we can play after they go off to bed! Apples to Apples is the perfect game for teens and adults.
