While at the Time to Play Holiday showcase I got to see one of the hot toys of 2011, the Hot Wheels Wall Tracks. This is a fantastic toy because it took something that we all know and love, Hot Wheels tracks and shifted the whole dynamic of the experience. Tracks get moved from the floor to the wall. The Hot Wheels Wall Tracks stick to the wall using 3M Command Strips. I love how Hot Wheels went and looked at something as simple as the Command Strips and said, hey, can we use these to stick our tracks to the wall? The answer is a resounding YES!
When I went to Time to Play Holiday Showcase I received a Skyball in my bag of swag. I met the rep from Maui Toys and we talked about the Sky Ball and Bat. I contacted him to see about getting some Maui Toys to give away during SwagsGiving. I was able to secure a Sky Ball and Bat set and an a Graffiti Sky Ball 2.0 ball. When we received ours to review Eva and I went outside to play with them. There wasn’t much that we could do with the bat and ball since Eva is four and can’t quite hold a bat and isn’t at the stage where she catches a ball. But she laughed like crazy when I slammed the Graffit Sky Ball onto the patio and we watched it rocket up into the air. That thing can BOUNCE!
