I love toys, and on October 23, 2013, I was lucky enough to attend The Big Toy Book’s Holiday event at the wonderful Hearst Tower. It was a chance to get a sneak peek at the hottest toys that are hitting the shelves.
As a child I was thrilled to see the presence of a few old school toys – of course they’re all re-imagined to accommodate the taste and lifestyle of the modern child. I got to see the new interactive Furby, Elmo was there and also Minnie and Mickey mouse.
One of my favorite toys, which I had never heard of up until this event was the Kurio Touch 4S. This portable tablet includes an ultra-responsive touch screen display, an HD video player, a music player, specially designed earbuds, and more. More than 30 free games and apps are pre-loaded. Great for kid-safe web surfing.
Another great new invention was the My Buddy Tag. This is an Alert System that alarms you when your child is out of your proximity and features a panic button located on the wristband
The day was filled with other toys from LeapFrog, Hasbro and other great companies.
Please check out the website for more on these fabulous toys, and to be able to follow these brands on twitter, and FB.

Thank you to our host Laurie Schacht, Joey Fortman, and the rest of the wonderful staff. They did a great job.
Oh how I wish I had events like this to attend but they never come to Albuquerque. My kids would be thrilled
I’m kind of glad they don’t come here – my son’s list would be WAY too long then!! ha/ha. Great post.
That Kurio Touch 4S would be perfect for my son!
looks like a fun event… lucky you
I was so sorry I had to miss this event, but I followed along Twitter. Those sounds like awesome toys, glad you had fun! I’m really impressed by the My Buddy Tag as well.
Wow, the Buddy Tag sounds like an awesome invention. The Kurio Touch 4s sounds like a cool toy, my kids are too old for that now!
my kids would never want to leave
Officially jealous! LOL! Sounds like it was a lot of fun!
Wow looks like it must have been an amazing event
