Easter planning is upon us and I know each year I start looking for new ideas for Easter Basket Stuffers for all the kids in my life. Whether you go big, medium, or small on Easter, part of the fun (and stress) of the holiday is finding unique things for the Easter Bunny to put in the baskets. Today I rounded up a few ideas to help you get ready well before the grand event.
L.O.L. Surprise
Hairgoals
L.O.L. Surprise! debuts a brand new look with Makeover Series! Collect all 12 L.O.L. Surprise! #Hairgoals characters (10 with REAL Hair, 2 with Glitter Hair) and 15 surprises inside! But that’s not all, L.O.L. Surprise! Fuzzy Pets are covered in colorful fuzz – bathe them to reveal the pet underneath
L.O.L. have recently released their latest addition to the doll line – the Hairgoals dolls, so I thought these would make great additions to your Easter baskets. The Hairgoals dolls are the same as the existing dolls – they come with an outfit and accessories and you unwrap them just as you did before, however, the exciting new feature is they come with real hair!
There are ten dolls to collect in the new series and each one comes with fifteen surprises, not to mention the packaging which turns into a capsule with salon chair, display case, and stands. The dolls also have water surprises which include crying and going to the toilet.
The layers were easy to unwrap and when they had finished peeling them off we got down to the capsule, which was is a great feature as it has little doors that open out to display your doll, but it also comes with a chain to turn it into a bag to carry your doll around.
I believe these are a fantastic addition to the existing L.O.L. doll range and add an extra dimension to play. These collectible style toys are so popular right now and don’t seem to be going anywhere and I think these are a great type of collectible as they aren’t too small for little hands and have lots of elements to them to be played with. I especially like that the clothes and accessories can be interchanged, much like a Barbie doll, so children can experiment with the looks and styles of the dolls too.
They come with lots of accessories and offer lots of fun play time, especially with the added hair feature. They will definitely be a great addition to your little ones’ L.O.L. collection.
Surprise! Fuzzy Pets
When the opportunity recently arose to check out the new L.O.L Surprise!™ Fuzzy Pets, he was more than happy to assist. These fabulous little toys allow you to unbox seven surprises, with this all-new product from the series. Each item provides a little hint as to the pet that is hiding inside and which fuzzy animal you are likely to receive. Not only are there plenty of surprises inside, but these gorgeous little pets can also be customized, by applying your makeover skills to change its appearance and remove the outer layer of fuzz. It is a fabulous addition to the L.O.L range and is sure to bring plenty of excitement to any L.O.L Surprise!™ fans.
These are especially great for boys who knew of the L.O.L Surprise!™ rang, but have not played with any of the products previously. However, if they are an animal lover with a great sense of creativity, they will be able to take a closer look at the Fuzzy Pets series and find out some more about the toys.
The product is aimed at children aged 3+ and each set comes complete with a fuzzy pet, a magic mirror, a feeding bottle, a secret message, a pooper scooper, an accessory, and an outfit. All of these items come presented in a shampoo shaped bottle, which is also multi-purpose, as this can later be used as the bath for your new L.O.L pet, or as a fashion accessory.
When you begin to open the first fuzzy pet packaging, you reveal a shampoo shaped container. Inside this were numerous blind bags, which you can excitedly rip apart. The first items you come across was a secret message a glittery mirror. For an adult, the secret messages are very simple, but for the age range that they are aimed at, it really encourages children to get thinking. If you do have any trouble though, then the answer is written upside down underneath.
You continue to open the packets and the next items you come across is a drinks bottle and a pooper scooper! The idea of a toy pooper scooper quite funny and as we have not played with these toys before, we were unaware at the time that we would get to use this later on. Further packets revealed what we initially thought was a bracelet, a fashion accessory and of course a fuzzy pet.
At the bottom of the shampoo shaped bottle, there was also an oval shaped container. My first thought was that it may contain slime, which seems to be a common theme amongst toys at the moment, however, we were both pleased to find that it was actually kinetic sand, which has been a favorite of all children over the years.
The instructions explain that you can also customize this by drawing your own patterns on to the fuzz with a wet cotton bud, and reveal the pet beneath the fuzz, so we went along with the preference and set up the shampoo bottle bath. It is important to remember to add the handle to the bottle at this point, as this closes two of the holes which are at the side of the bottle and prevents any water from leaking out. The handle also makes it easy to transport it to the sink and bin, once the fuzz has all been removed.
The removal of the fuzz is a really simple and fun activity and you just need to fill the shampoo bottle bath with water, then place your pet inside and rub to remove the fuzz. You will really enjoy the process and enjoy watching the color of the water change too. The tub is quite small when the pet is placed inside, so if you did find this too fiddly then you could always use a large bowl as an alternative.
The bottle has a clever draining system, which I thought was a great idea, as this means that you can remove the lid at the bottom of the bottle to release the water into the sink, but the fuzz remains captured in the sieve type contraption. You can then simply empty this into the bin, making it really easy to clean after use. Something which is always a benefit to parents.
The pets can also squirt water from their mouths or cry, once they have been fed some water from their bottles. These are ideal for Easter.
Poopsie
Collect the Rainbow with new Poopsie Cutie Tooties and Poopsie Sparkly Critters! Cutie Tooties offer a totally new slime & unboxing experience oozing with fun – pop the unicorn poop to reveal the slime surprise inside. Sparkly Critters include a magical slime surprise – will they spit or poop slime?! Unbox the soda pop can package to find out!
Like the original Poopsie Surprise, the Sparkly Critters have the surprise element of being packaged so that you can not see which character you will get until you open the box. This is something that really appeals to my children as they love any kind of surprise toy. The Sparkly Critters come in really fun looking soda can type packaging, when you pop the can open you will then find blind bags filled with the Sparkly Critter and the accessories you will need to make slime. Each set comes with one Sparkly Critter, a soda can style bottle/syringe to feed the critters, spoon, storage bag which is designed to look like a bag of crisps and glitter to add to the slime
The Critters are cute, sparkly, soft-bodied and really appeal to children. Making the slime was pretty straightforward you just filled the soda bottle/syringe provided with water to the fill line and feed it to your critter. The Critters will either poop or sick the slime back up depending on which critter you get. Once you have the slime you need to leave it to thicken which took about 20 minutes, once set you can then add some sparkles if you wish.
The critters came with a little bag which looked like a bag of crisps and was re-sealable and you can add the slime to this to keep it stored safely. I found the whole slime-making process really simple and straight forward.
