Rogue One Inspired Big-Figs Bring The Movie To Life!

January 7, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

My family and I are big Star Wars fans. We have watched all of the movies together and just recently watched the new Star Wars film Rogue One. My girls loved the movie and all of the new characters.

In their lives my daughters have always been huge facts of dolls and action figures and in using them for creative play. We recently found out about BIG-FIGS™ from Jakks Pacific which are large-scale action figures that provide not only hours of play and collectability, but also BIG value The figures range from 18-in to 48.5-inch in height, with 20-inch figures offering the widest assortment of characters across entertainment’s hottest properties at an incredible value. The 31-inch and 48.5-inch BIG-FIGS™ action figures are the ultimate gifts and most include special features such as lights, sounds, and motion sensors. All BIG-FIGS™ action figures are fully articulated and range in price from $19.99 to $99.99 and are recommended for ages 3 and older.

Even better, for those of us that are Star Wars fans, Jakks Pacific has created some BIG-FIGS™ with characters from the Star Wars Saga including their new favorites from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

My daughters were thoroughly excited about these great new BIG-FIGS™. They immediately wanted to play with them. I was impressed with the quality of the BIG-FIGS™ as they were very durable and large. The ones we tried were about 18 inches and I cannot even imagine what the 46 inch would be like as even the 18 inch BIG-FIGS™ are super big!

I am so glad that we found out about BIG-FIGS™ from Jakks Pacific. They are so lifelike and work so well. I love watching my daughters interacting with their BIG-FIGS™ and you will love to see your kids interacting with them too!

Modarri Promotes Creative Play & Learning!

May 15, 2015 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

As a father I love being able to encourage my kids to get involved in creative play. When I find toys that not only promote this, but also take a known toy concept in a whole new direction, I am always interested in experiencing the toy. I initially heard about Modarri toys last fall and back in October I shared my thoughts on jumpstarting your inner mechanic with Modarri last fall too and even gave a few thoughts on video.

Since then I have to say that my girls continue to love to use these. What they love most is the ability that Modarri provides them to take these cars and completely make them their own. You are not made to settle on the colors, body style or really anything on the cars and instead you can mix and match and make the cars into whatever you want along the way.

As someone who loves to think outside the box, this company continues to inspire creativity in my kids, but also in their friends. Anytime that my daughters have friends over and they play cars, they pull these out and inevitably their friends always want to know more and they always want to show these to their parents when they leave. Thus, I have become a sideline spokesperson for Modarri letting so many parents know about this company through the creative play that their kids engaged in while at our home.

Modarri keeps coming out with so many unique cars with differing body types and styles. Each of the Modarri cars are colorful, aerodynamic and best of all, completely interchangeable with each other. In the end you and your kids can work to create the ultimate car through the mixing and matching of the Modarri car bodies, wheels, etc.

Modarri continues to innovate and create amazing toys that your kids will love to play with for years to come.

If you like these (and I believe that you will) I am able to provide you a discount code to use at www.modarri.com. You can get free shipping and a 10% discount off the retail price by using the unique Dad of Divas reader promo code: “SAVE10”.

Getting Outside With Your Kids Using a Parachute!

April 26, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Living in Michigan there are so many times when I want to get outside with my kids, and for most of the year I can without any big issues, yet sometimes in the winter it can be a bit more challenging. That being said, now that we have been starting to have nicer weather, I have found that I am getting outside more and I love finding new products that I can use to have some fun with the kids too. Not that I have to have products to get outside, but it helps.

Since my kids were young my kids have always loved parachutes. I am not talking about bringing my kids skydiving. I am talking about the parachutes that they have played with at school. You remember them, You stand around the outside, can whip it in the air and pull it under yourself and then sit underneath it. You can also throw some balls on it and try to keep them on it. There are a ton of games they played with it over the years and they have mentioned many times over the years how they wished they had one of these at our own home. Now we do!

Recently I received one of these thanks to a great company, Pacific Play Tents. This company has so many amazing creative play items that allow kids as well as parents and kids to really get down on the ground and/or active with playing and using their imagination. While I was able to check out their parachutes, they have amazing tents, tunnels, chairs and so much more too. So many of their items are so unique, and very cool. Not only could I see these things as a part of an individual home, but I could also see these being used in classrooms too!

The parachute we tried was about 10 feet across, so it was small in comparison to some that we had, but that was ok with us. It came in a great bag that you could easily carry with you anywhere you wanted to go and was very light to carry too. The parachute was stitched well and thus was well constructed. We took it for a test drive and found that it worked very well. The first time we used it we found that we needed a few more people on the different handles to make it work even better. The second time that we pulled it out, we had more kids around, so it was a bit better and easier to use as well.

We had a great time with this parachute and I can tell that we will be spending a ton of time outside with this parachute thanks to Pacific Play Tents!
