9 Ways Spin Master Toys Is Rescuing Christmas This Year @SpinMaster #MMMGiftGuide

I love to shop for my kids at Christmas. I start making my own list really early on, like January 2nd and I tweak it throughout the year. Nothing makes me happier than to find that really special item that I know will make them squeal with delight!  As my daughter enters teen-hood her requests have changed dramatically. There is not a toy to be found on her list. As much as I miss shopping for dolls and princess stuff, I am happy to see her tastes grow.  There is good news in all of this though – my little dude. William is just a child and he loves his toys. He still gets a lot of joy from looking through the catalogs and flyers that come every week, circling the stuff he likes and putting stars around the things he really likes.

There is one toy in particular that received way more stars than anything else. As a matter of fact it was circled, starred and eventually cut out of every flyer that contained it, only to be taped to the fridge.  You know what that means, right? This item was the one. The must have, must find, must get no matter what toy. Which meant it would be almost impossible to find because it was hot on everyone else’s list too! But I was not surprised. The elusive toy I am referring to, well, it’s from Spin Master, makers of such hits as Zoomer Kitty, Kinetic Sand, Boom Boom Balloon, Air Hogs, Paw Patrol and so much more.

Did you know that this great children’s entertainment company is Canadian? I love that!

Spin Master is known for their outstanding products, which translated into 63 Year of the Toy nominations for the company for 2016! That is a staggering figure, but it is no surprise. The company’s success is a direct result of their talented designers, creators, engineers and marketing plans.

Spin Master’s Vision and Mission are derived from our DNA, which is to innovate, create and entertain. 

Our Vision is Make life more fun; while our Mission is Pushing the boundaries of innovation, creativity and fun. 

As a parent I love that the toys and games that Spin Master brings to it’s customers are well made, creative and appeal to a broad range of age groups. As a consumer I love that Spin Master gives me value for my dollar with craftsmanship that is second to none.  As such you can not go wrong with a Spin Master toy wrapped up all pretty under your Christmas tree this year. Some of the items I suggest you check out are:

Boom Boom Balloon

This is the crazy game where you take turns keeping the balloon from popping! Roll the die, and carefully push in a stick until it clicks. Watch as the balloon changes shape – will the next click make it pop? It’s the ultimate game of anticipation where you never know when the balloon will go BOOM! My son received Boom Boom Balloon for his birthday this year and he adores it.  No one can resist playing a game or two when the suspense makes you giggle your head off. No wonder it won Game of the Year for 2014!

Air Hogs

You have to love a toy that allows a child to own a remote controlled vehicle that can fly! There are so many different Air Hogs to choose from and they are all fairly easy to assemble.  Your kiddo can fly a helicopter one minute, take a land vehicle for a spin the next,  and then fool around with a drone! Star Wars is super hot right now and Air Hogs has you covered with several awesome toys to choose from.

Aquadoodle

A couple of years ago my kids received their first Aquadoodle mat and I was a bit skeptical. How can you draw with water and come away clean?  I soon found out that Aquadoodle never makes a mess and never runs out! Draw and doodle as much as you want using only water! Your drawing will magically disappear as it dries. The Aquadoodle color mat turns water into color, so you can doodle in red, blue, green, and purple. With fabric boarders for soft play, you can let your child’s imagination run free with the never ending, no-mess fun of Aquadoodle!

Meccano-Erector Sets

Kids love to build and the Meccano-Erector sets let them do just that.  They will develop logic and hand motor skills as they build their vehicle. The sets come with easy to follow step-by-step instructions and real tools to help you put it together! You can build and take apart your sets as much as you want because Meccano-Erector sets are made with a durable metal that will last the test of time. Completed sets look great on display as well.

Perplexus Original

Master the challenge of the crazy, fun world of Perplexus! Inside the Perplexus Original you’ll face 20 feet worth of challenging twists, turns and obstacles! Flip twist and spin Perplexus to move the ball along the numbered path. When you fall off the track (Yes, it will happen!) head back to the start and try again. There are multiple levels of difficulty to master! It’s a bendy, trendy, can’t put it down challenge! My daughter has never tired of the Perplexus Original she received for her birthday a couple of years ago and I have to admit, I love to pick it up and play once in awhile.

Text Cool

The Text Cool Bracelet Studio is the coolest way to make text message bracelets to wear and share with your friends. Create and stamp your own messages, hash tags or coded texts just for your squad. Choose from an assortment of 35 colorful, patterned bracelets. Place your selected bracelet in the Studio, turn the letter wheel to select your message and then press and reveal your personalized texts! You can even accent your bracelet with over 30 emoticons!  My daughter loves to make her own bracelets and the Text Cool set was well received. At first glance I thought she was too old for this, but nope, I was wrong. Her creative side squealed a bit when she saw it.

Paw Patrol, Paw Patroller

My little man  has been obsessed with Paw Patrol, and puppies in general lately and Spin Master has a huge line up of toys to cover us, and you too! The big deal this season is the Paw Patrol, Paw Patroller rescue vehicle. It comes with Ryder and his ATV and can hold up to 3 more Paw Patrol vehicles! With great sound effects and a real working elevator, the fun is endless.

Paw Patrol: Mission Chase

Now children can join Chase on 24 real rescue missions! Just by pressing his badge Chase is magically brought to life. His spring-loaded backpack self deploys when he needs his tools like his net for rescuing his animal friends or his flashlight for those top secret missions. There is even a special Pup Pup Boogie Surprise inside! Mission Chase is perfect for the littles in your life who love watching their favourite pup on TV. ♥

Zoomer Kitty

There is more than just one little kitty to choose from in the Zoomer line and each one is too cute to resist. Zoomer Kitty  is the sweetest interactive Kitty who loves to play, pounce and purr! Using True Vision Technology, she follows your movements. Zoomer Kitty has touch sensors in her head, ears, and cheeks and she loves when you pet her. You can tease her with her interactive Kitty Toy and watch her go cap-nip crazy, but don’t forget to give her attention or Kitty will wander off and go on her own adventures. Zoomer Kitty is curious, cuddly and loves to perform tricks. She is the perfect addition to  your family.

These toys are just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to the awesome selection Spin Master has to offer.  You will please every child on your gift giving list this year if you pick up a great game or interactive toy from the Masters of toy making and I am positive a few adults would be excited as well.
