Holiday Round Up WowWee Toys The Whole Line Up

When I was at the Time To Play Holiday Showcase one of the brands there was WowWee. And WowWee they are amazing. They sent us a box of toys to share with all our friends I’m amazed at their product line. They cover girls, boys from age 3 and up. We’ve played with their Paper Jamz before and loved them. Now the Paper Jamz has a Pro series and it’s sure to bring twice the fun if not 3 times the fun. So from chords to strings and even a drum set.

The one thing I didn’t like about Paper Jamz was that it only played chords along with all that rock music. Paper Jamz Pro has chord ability making it much more like a guitar than originally. Plus, this may sounds like something odd to write about but I love the new packaging. The packaging on the Paper Jamz pro makes the toy guitars look like a more expensive toy in a way that makes me want to buy them.

My husband has a great time checking out the drum set. With the drums you can freestyle by creating your own killer drum solos or lay your own rocking beats over your favorite songs. You can also put it on Beat Machine and remix beats on the fly Of course you can also customize your drums by adding your favorite music with the free Paper Jamz Pro app And use the 3 built-in kits to change drum sounds or download new ones. Miles could play with this for hours, he loves music and making noise by banging on things. He has since birth.

Lite Sprites use color and light to express their moods and feelings. Each Sprite has her own personality and domain in the natural world. The Sprite Sisterhood includes: Prisma, Astra, Meadow and Brooke. Bleak, the naughty Sprite, rejects color and uses her powers to eliminate or disrupt color in Lite-Topia.

There are now five different play sets in the Lite Sprite line. The Swing Playset, The Windmill playset, the Waterfall playset, The Flower playset and now the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Lite is the place where the Sprites hang out. Scaled to interact with the rest of Lite-Topia, the Tree of Lite is alive with color, lights, sparkle and sounds. Visit Litesprites.com to explore the world of Lite-Topia!

The Sprites cast and catch color and light from their Sprites friends and play sets to express their emotions. Of course the girls love them. Zoe thinks they’re adorable. And the wand, oh my goodness, our neighborhood is full of little princesses and a wand is often in their hands. The Lite Wand is the “heart” of the play experience it’s the keeper of the colors. Which adds to the play time because the Wand is the medium for sharing color throughout Lite-Topia.

Light Strike has four possible teams, hold down the team color change button to change teams, very brightly colored, huge hit with the boys. I actually love how colorful it is and if you think it’s colorful like I do just wait until you turn it on. Then all the lights come up and the gun makes lots of fun sounds that the kids will love. Of course, it does make sneaking up on your opponent a little difficult.

This is a photo of the I.T.S. (Intelligent Targeting System). I had fun shooting it and watching myself get to the top for my team. You can play with others and team up for Capture the Flag matches with the I.T.S.  The I.T.S. rotates for added challenge which is pretty cool. and it has multiple built-in games that reward winning team with strategic advantages.

  • Sentry mode: I.T.S. scans for enemies and blasts them
  • Medic mode: I.T.S. regenerates health
  • Bomb mode: I.T.S. sends out explosive burst of damage to enemies
  • Interactive lights and sounds that put you on the battlefield

Check me out playing the the laser gun.

There is so much to say about all the toys. We had a great time exploring them and I know that your kids will love them too. Lights and sounds seem to make all kids happy, And WowWee is great at putting the two together in a none annoying way.

We donated all of the toys to a local charity at the end of this review. It was an amazing collection of toys and I thank WowWee for allowing us to have such a fun experience testing them out and giving them away.

Rock Star Miles Paper Jamz Giveaway

imageI often talk about Miles and how much he loves music. He really loves any toy that makes noise and always has. He just loves to press buttons and figure out how things work. We have a keyboard that he loves to play on and he is starting to make music instead of just banging on the keys. So, whenever I get the chance to review a toy that makes music I jump at the chance.

Paper Jamz is a new guitar that sounds like an electric guitar. Now, I’ve never actually held a real electric guitar but I imagine they are pretty complicated with all of the settings and changes you can make to the sound. Well, I’m quite impressed with how many different setting are on a toy electric guitar.

imageThe Guitar is quite loud and my husband and I raced to find the volume button. It took me a few tries but after looking at the directions, I realized how in-depth this paper thin, light weight piece of technology is. To raise and lower the volume you just need to slide your hand up or down the neck of the guitar. To change the guitar from the demo setting you need to hold down the demo button for a few seconds. Then you’ll here an electric countdown and it will start in a new mode. If you want the vocals to go away, then you can hold down the demo button and the mode button for a few seconds at the same time and you’ll hear the electric countdown and a new mode will start without vocals.

If you look along the side of the guitar you’ll see that you can change the frets by holding down the buttons on the side and if you are into any kind of guitar then you will understand what that means. Now are you confused yet? Don’t be, the kids will love it in any mode and will be rocking out in no time. Miles was born for this, I mean look at his rock star hair!!

It was very difficult to get him to share it with his sister; but in the end they were able to play with it together.
