Discovery Remote Control Chromashift Roboreptile

Age 7-10, Ages 10-13, Electronics, , ,


There is a new pet in our house! It’s a dinosaur. Not your every day dinosaur but a Roboreptile from Discovery Store. The Roboreptile is labeled for kids ages 8 and up but I think Sebastian learned the remote control functions of the Roboreptile pretty well. The Roboreptile is officially called the "Discovery Remote Control Chromashift Roboreptile". The color change is really neat. Sometimes it looks green and brown and sometimes it looks green and purple. It is really cool.  The Roboreptile moves are so realistic that Sebastian’s Nana was frightened when she came in the house and was greeted by the Roboreptile moving his tail and screeching at her. He was in ‘guard’ mode at the time. The Roboreptile has three moods.. hungry/aggressive; satisfied/lethargic; subdued.  It is definitely clear what mood he is in at any given time. His mood can be changed by feeding him (remote control functions) and other activities.

Stereo sound sensors, infrared vision sensors, laser ‘pickling’ sensor
and touch sensor make him aware of the surrounding environment. Sebastian loves the way the Roboreptile can ‘hear’ and ‘see’ what is around him. These features make the Roboreptile seem even more real than he already looks.
The Roboreptile can stalk on four legs, run on two legs, whip his tail, snap and move its head, has the ability to run and jump on its two hind legs, and he can sense being approached from behind and responds by running away!

The Roboreptile has 40 different pre-programmed functions and you can program
your own tricks and movements into its memory which is a great way for kids to get creative with the Roboreptile!

If only the Roboreptile could cook, clean, do laundry, go to the grocery store, change diapers, and help with homework I would be set!

Pumpadoodle personalized music for kids

Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Age 7-10, Ages 10-13, Music & DVD, Personalized, ,

The look on Sebastian’s face when he heard the music on this CD was priceless. I’m not kidding. He was so excited that he was the star of the songs. He danced, he sang, he jumped up and down! 

Our Pumpadoodle CD travels with us from room to room in the house, it makes its way into the car and even to Grandmother’s house.

Our CD has four songs on it, two of which have a true rock n’ roll sound that Sebastian loves.

When you visit Pumpadoodle, you can listen to snipits of songs. You can choose from birthday songs, songs about friends, pets, holiday songs, sports, super hero’s and more.

The sound quality is great and singers voices are amazing. They really grab Sebastian’s attention and can pull even the most unsuspecting parent into the song.

Depending on which songs you order for your Pumpadoodle CD, you will be asked questions such as what is your child’s name, what is the name of one of their friends, what is their pets name, what is their bicycle seat cover, what city do you live in, what do they want for Christmas.  The songs are so personalized, your child will be in awe!

Bumpy Name – Labels for bottles, cups and snack holders

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Age 7-10, Ages 10-13, Baby & Kids Clothing, Fun stuff for parents, Personalized, , , ,

If your child is in day care or school,  you have twins, or if you just have other kids in your home, Bumpy Name labels are a great solution for that "who’s bottle is this" predicament.

BUMPY NAME labels:

  • are made from non-toxic material
  • are dishwasher safe
  • are personalized for your child(ren) in text or braile
  • fit bottles, sippys, sport bottles, snack holders, travel mugs and more.
  • are microwavable
  • provide a non-slip grip

I recieved a sample pack of BUMPY NAME labels and was impressed with how easily the labels slide on and off Madelyn’s bottles. I also learned that it is virtually impossible to break, tear or ruin a BUMPYNAME label. My 7 year old son tried to stretch it, rip it and even ran over it with his PlasmaCar and it is still in perfect condition… the BUMPY NAME label.. not the car!

I recommend BUMPY NAME labels to moms with children of all ages!
