Back to School with Skylanders Giants

Skylanders Thermos Lunch BoxIt is the middle of Summer but I started thinking about Back to School already.

As a kid I remember how much I loved the new Trapper Keepers and crayons and even un-sharpened pencils. It wasn’t till I got to school that I realized that these things would be used for some boring stuff like tests and essays and such. I did enjoy it all when it was new and fun, though.

Andrew’s New Dino Construction Company Toy


Photo-A-Day #3024

I’m going to do an in depth review of the Dino Construction Company toy that Andrew is posing with. I wanted to see how he’d do with photos with a product since this is a toy that he’ll be playing with.

I saw this toy at Toy Fair and immediately knew that this was something I had to try out. I approached the company right after Toy Fair but the finished products weren’t going to be ready till late June. So I contacted them again and they sent me the T-Rex version which is a skid loader. I really liked the look of the triceratops bulldozer one and if Andrew likes this one we might get him the triceratops for his birthday.

Product was provided, for a review.
