Review: Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo Busy Book (Childrens book, Toy)

Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo Busy Book
My Rating:


My 3-year-old son and I are both big fans of the Busy Books line of toys. We have both Cars ones and both Planes ones, as well as this one.
This playset comes with a poster-sized play mat with a nice shot of the ocean floor, and 12 little plastic (1-piece) figures.
The figures included are:
Nemo
Marlin
Dory
Gill (the fish with the scar from the tank)
Sheldon (seahorse classmate)
Pearl (octopus classmate)
Tad (fish classmate)
the 3 sharks
Crush (daddy turtle)
Squirt (kid turtle)

My son loves the variety of characters and the size is great for playing with either while we are out somewhere (including a restaurant, though the playmat stays folded in that case) or while at home. Because the characters are made of solid plastic, they're safe to toss into a water table or the bathtub as well. Though be careful they don't go down the drain in the tub, since I imagine the smaller ones can.

🌟REVIEW: Disney/Pixar Cars 2 "My Busy Book" (Children book, Children Playset)


Disney/Pixar Cars 2 My Busy Book
Genre: Childrens Books, Childrens Toys

My Rating:
My Cars-obsessed son got this for his 2nd birthday and it quickly became his favorite gift. There are 12 little plastic cars and a play mat, as well as 6 board book pages about some of the cars. The cars are really nice for kids playing because they don't have moving parts or small crevices to pick up dirt or sand (my son plays with them in both), and they don't have any metal to get chipped when dropped (which happens) or to rust when they get wet (he also takes them in the bath or pool). They are small, but not too small and are also nice for traveling! He loved this set so much that I got him the Cars 1 Busy Book as well. :)

It's worth nothing as well that he's now 3.25 and still loves this set!

Something to also be said about anyone who has one Cars Busy Book and is considering the other is that you don't get any actual duplicates if you buy both!

This set has:

Lightning McQueen (with a different paint job than the Cars 1 set)
Mater (the brown/orange rusted version)
Holley Shiftwell
Finn McMissile
Francesco Bernouli
Acer (lemon car)
Grem (lemon car)
Tombe (the French informant)
Professor Z
Torque (the American spy)
Carla Veloso(Brazillian racecar)
Uncle Topolino (Luigi's uncle)

Hello World.

:)

Welcome to my review blog!

I am starting this with the hopes to create a space on the internet for what could be called "Mom" reviews: reviews on products that moms, like myself, might be interested in.

So, I'm sure you're thinking "Another parenting products review blog?!"

No, not exactly. :)

There will be the occasional baby product reviewed, but this will be books (both those that women when they have the time, as well as those parents read to their wee ones), toys (predominately 'boy' or 'neutral' as we don't have many things pink or princess in the house at the time I'm writing this), and handmade goods (I look forward to sharing small business' products!).

Bear with me for a bit as things get figured out, and feel free to shoot me questions about anything you are wondering about, as well as any other feedback you may have.

Incase you are wondering, here is me and my little family. My kiddo, Max, is 3 years old and my pup, Wicket, is 5.5 years old (and a few dog-related products may occasionally find their way here).

Wicket, Mike, Max, and me!
