I stopped over at Target today and I was very excited about a couple things that I found. First I found the new Captain America Civil War 5-Pack of Hot Wheels cars. The new individual cars were not out but this 5-pack is great with an exclusive Battle Damaged War Machine car inside. The rest of the cars except for Iron Man have been recolored. Iron Man has been redesigned. It makes sense because Tony Stark is always creating and recreating himself and his armor. The character vehicles in the set are Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Man and Battle Damaged War Machine.
I also found an amazing find. Hot Wheels has re-released some classic cars and playsets. The re-released the classic STo & Go playset. I actually got giddy when I saw it because this was something that I had as a kid and I loved it. The classic was from 1979 and it was awesome. I cannot wait to open this one. I just ran out of time today so I wasn’t able to open it for the vlog. I do mention it in today’s vlog, though.
We received a Star Wars Ant Farm from Uncle Milton to use and review. Opinions are 100% our own.
The Ant Farm is not something I had thought about getting for the kids before I heard about it from my Uncle Milton rep. With two great kids who are so curious I knew that this would be something that we had to check out. I was right, the kids were excited to help me set up the Ant Farm. So, today the Ant Farm arrived and then a couple hours later the ants arrived. If you buy the Ant Farm you’ll have to send away for the ants. There is a special code found on the instructions so you can get your own ants for the farm.
Right out of the tube these guys were pretty active and exploring. This was something that the kids were wild about. Over time they are going to be learning more about ants and their behavior. They will be entering the interesting world of Myrmecology, the study of ants through the side http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/animals/ant.html. You can see much more about the Ant Farm through today’s vlog and then below that is the official description of the Jakku Ant Farm.
