About the movie

Nicky Deuce, the new original movie from MarVista Entertainment, as seen on Nickelodeon!

Nicholas Borelli II (Noah Munck), a sheltered suburban teen, has the adventure of a lifetime when his plans for math camp take a sudden turn. Instead, he is forced to spend his summer in Brooklyn, New York, with the family he never knew he had—his Italian grandmother Tutti (Rita Moreno) and Uncle Frankie (Steven R. Schirripa). A fish out of water, Nicholas leans on the local kids to help him fit in and ends up with a slick new persona: Nicky Deuce. But when Nicky runs into trouble, he discovers a family secret and learns that the tough streets of Brooklyn aren’t always what they seem.

Starring Noah Munck (Gibby from "iCarly"), Cristine Prosperi (Imogen from "Degrassi"), Steve Schirripa (from "The Sopranos" and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager"), and Cassius Crieghtney, with Vincent Curatola, Tony Sirico and Michael Imperioli from "The Sopranos," Rita Moreno, and a special appearance by James Gandolfini (from "The Sopranos").

Nickelodeon Fisher-Price Team Umizoomi Umi Shape Adventures Board

December 15, 2012 by Momstart 7 Comments

A catchy toy that captures the kids interest before even opening the box. My kids love the really great sound effects. And I find the colors are really vibrant. The game works with 4 double-sided cards that encourage building and learning. The cards seem pretty sturdy. We had a 2 year over and he couldn’t stop playing with it. He didn’t even need to change the card.

If your child loves puzzles (as mine does), then I think this will be a big hit. I think it’s a really creative way to introduce colors and shapes. If you have a Team Umizoomi fan, this would be a solid, engaging holiday pick with educational value and I think educational value is very important.
The eight scenes are mostly gender neutral and very engaging — I think they did a really great job in selecting them:
-Truck
-Train
-Carnival
-Flowers
-Farm
-Submarine
-Rocket

From the Manufacturer

Father and son alike, they both like to play with Ninja turtles. When my husband was a child he LOVED Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and now that they have made a come back he’s buying Ninja Turtles for my son. For all of our traveling last month Miles received a brand new Ninja Turtle and he played with him all over the airport, airplane and cruise.

Peppa Pig The Cheeky Little Piggy from the UK US Toy Line

September 15, 2012 by Momstart 6 Comments

Last year, Peppa Pig, the award-winning animated series for preschoolers, leapt across the pond to delight U.S. audiences on Nick Jr. She’s pink cute and ready to have lots of fun.

The charming program follows the daily activities of Peppa, her brother George, Mommy Pig and Daddy Pig as they play games, go to school, take family trips and, best of all, jump in muddy puddles! Parents and kids will enjoy watching the show together; Peppa’s lighthearted, laugh-out-loud approach to storytelling is truly enjoyable for both children and parents. Best of all: the show celebrates the values of family, friendship, fun – and humor!

While I was sitting here writing about the New line of Peppa Pig toy line I realized that Ashley reviewed some Peppa Pig toys and episodes earlier this year.

Peppa Pig does a great job of entertaining children. The animation is simple and moves fairly slowly. I think this is great as it doesn’t over stimulate younger viewers. There seems to be a little something for all younger children. There is clear descriptive language that helps little ones build their vocabulary, there are simple cause and effect situations (great for helping children understand causal relationships), and stories that focus on family, friendship… and FUN!

Peppa Pig airs on Nick Jr from 12-12:20 pm Monday-Friday and 2-2:30 on Saturday and Sunday. You can also check out Peppa Pig online and on Facebook. Now for the toys??? The new toys that are on the holiday list.

The Peppa Pig Sip and Oink Tea Set includes Peppa House teapot with lid, George sugar bowl, Peppa milk pitcher, two teaspoons, two saucers, and two adorable teacups. If you lift the teacups you will find a funny surprise. You can put them on your nose because they look like a pig’s snout.

Peppa Pig Peppa’s Schoolhouse set comes with Peppa and Madame Gazelle figures, bench, desk and easel. Features include peek ‘n surprise desk and easel and swinging bell on top of schoolhouse.

Peppa Pig 2-Pack Figures includes Peppa & Suzie Sheep! This figure pack has the 2 fully-articulated figures and also includes a play piece with surprise flip-over feature…Peppa, Suzie Sheep and a bicycle! All figures fit in all Peppa Pig vehicles and playsets (Each Sold Separately). Collect them all!

Peppa Pig and the Lost Christmas List.

It’s almost Christmas, and Peppa Pig and her little brother, George, are mailing their letters to Santa. All of Peppa’s friends are there, too, and each one tells Peppa the special gift on their list. Peppa is excited to help Daddy Pig and Mummy Pig pick out and decorate their enormous tree, and she can’t wait for the big day to arrive. But little does she know that a surprise is in store on Christmas Eve, and that she may play a part in saving the day! Peppa is the endearing star of Peppa Pig — a BAFTA-winning preschool TV series that has been a long-running success in the U.K. and is now winning devoted fans in the U.S. with daily showings on Nick Jr. Peppa and her little brother, her daddy, her mummy, and her many friends arrive at Candlewick just in time for the holiday season, poised for much muddy puddle jumping and more new adventures to come.

We received samples that we are going to donate to our annual toy drive.

Dora the explorer Christmas Carol DVD Review and #giveaway and furniture?

November 4, 2009 by Momstart 357 Comments

The Dora Christmas Carol DVD comes out soon or is out or I have no idea except that we are watching it today. Ok, so you can purchase it at Amazon.

Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure

We’ve been listening to Dora’s Christmas CD for a few weeks now and my son has all the songs memorized and now that we have watched the DVD the CD makes sense. All the songs on the CD are from the DVD. It’s crazy but I’m singing the songs all day long now too. Good Grief I just can’t get away from her.

The DVD is very cute and is teaching kids not to swipe. It seems that Swiper has made the naughty list this year and if Dora can’t teach him to stop swiping then he’ll never be good again. So Dora and Swiper travel through time learning to be good for Christmas. My husband and I were actually talking about all the different cartoons that are out there and what we watched and how the cartoon re-makes aren’t as good as the new cartoons like Dora. You know, she is teaching good lessons and helping the world while care bears and my little ponies don’t do that anymore. They are all about themselves, yes they still have moral lessons but it’s not past them. I’m not sure if that makes sense.

My other News is that Lazy Boy and Nickelodeon have teamed up to make furniture for kids staring Dora and Diego. Lea Furniture is putting out Nickelodeon MyRoom. This new collection was developed in cooperation with Nickelodeon/Viacom Consumer Products and will feature characters from shows including Dora the Explorer, Go, Diego, Go!, SpongeBob SquarePants, as well featuring graphics based on the network’s signature Slime.

Parents will find that the Nickelodeon MyRoom furniture supports creativity, independent play and customization, which are all part of kids’ development. The collection addresses these elements in six ways:

· Multi-dimensional, open-ended materials and functionality

· Furnishings that form environments and encourage different kinds of play

· Scalable when size matters

· Personal ownership

· Encouraging independence and independent play

· Play time is OK time

Wow Wow Wubbzy, Wubbzy Goes Boo and a #giveaway too.

September 30, 2009 by Momstart 310 Comments

Wow Wow Wubbzy lives in a purple tree and that delights my daughter Zoe to no end. It’s purple, it’s fun, it’s cute and exactly what you expect from Nickelodeon Studios. Wow WOW Wubbzy DVDs kept my kids attention until Daddy got home from work on Tuesday night.. I found myself remembering when I was younger and used to watch Nickelodeon at night. The animation and voices seem the same, but Wow Wow Wubbzy is a lot cleaner than Ren and Stimpy was. 😉

Also, feel free to download Wubbzy coloring pages for your kids to get into the Halloween spirit.

Speaking of Nickelodeon, Did you know?

September 16, 2009 by Momstart 2 Comments

Nickelodeon is the home of a lot of things. They host TV awards, have some quite entertaining shows for tweens, have nighttime for adults and even cartoons and educational programs for children.

You can also find games for children, kids and tweens. I’m sure the mid range doesn’t want to be called kids but we don’t want to call them teenagers. That must be where the name tweens comes from right? I don’t know. I’m just rambling.

I figured I’d check the site out a little bit since I do quite a few DVD reviews for them. I’m not sure why, but I had never thought of it before. There is a huge selection of kids games.

I love racing games and I saw a few here. Looks like the selection varies and reaches a wide variety of taste. I mean if you think about it the term board games takes on a whole new meaning with electronics around. I mean as a family we all sit around the computer or tv and play video games. What does your family do to spend time together these days?
