My son really loves to watch Sesame Street. He watches it every morning and just has a great time. His favorite character is Elmo. He already has so many stuffed Elmo dolls. Since Christmas is right around the corner, I decided it would be nice to add to his collection. In particular I wanted to get him the Sesame Street Let’s Rock Elmo. So I went on Amazon to buy it.

The cool thing about this Elmo is that he can sign and just rock out. He comes with a microphone, tambourine, and drum set. Kids can choose which instrument they want Elmo to play with. He will recognize which instrument you give him. For example, if you gave him the drum set and put the tambourine in his hand, Elmo will tell you that it’s tough to play the drums with a tambourine. Kids can also use the instruments too. Elmo can also interact with other instruments like the guitar or keyboard. He comes with 3 built in songs and you can create your own songs. Here is a video of Elmo in action.

When I gave Elmo to my son, he really adored it. He played with it for several hours. I think it helps him to develop his motor skills and also helps him develop his musical abilities. The toy itself is very durable since my kid has roughhoused it a couple of times and yet it continues to function. Also, I think this toy has some educational value because my son was able to learn some basic counting from singing along with the songs. If your family is worried about loud toys, then you may not want to get this though. Elmo sings pretty loud and sometimes it can get kind of annoying. But overall it’s a great toy and my son loves it so that’s all that matters.

My kid is a huge fan of Angry Birds. Most of the time you would catch him playing Angry Birds on his iPhone or on his computer. Sometimes it is really hard to break him apart from the game. Since he loved Angry Birds so much, I figured it would be appropriate for me to get him the Angry Birds: Knock On Wood Game as a birthday present. I checked out the game online and found that Amazon was selling it so I picked it up.

Once we got the Angry Birds game, my son and I started setting it up. The rules were pretty simple and you really don’t even need to read the instructions. The game follows the software game exactly. You set up the structures and use the catapult to shoot the birds at it. To setup the structures, the game gives you cards that show you how to build the structures. There are different levels and each level has their own structures you have to set up. It was kind of difficult for me to setup the structures but eventually I was able to get it going. After the structure is set up, you take the catapult and shoot the birds at it. It seems like it is easy but in fact it takes some practice before you can get it right. My son really loved it. He’s already played the game several times so it certainly has a lot of replay value. Here is a video on how to play the game.

I think this Knock On Wood game is very worthwhile for those people that are fans of the app. It is not one of those “play it once” type of toys. One thing that you have to be careful about is to make sure you do not lose any pieces. If you lose even one piece, it would be difficult to build any the structures because they require all the pieces.

Since Christmas is right around the corner, I decided it was high time to buy some gifts. The toy that really caught my eye was the Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter. It is one of the world’s smallest and lightest RC helicopter. I knew my son would love this toy and I was actually interested in it myself. When I was a kid, I had my own RC helicopter and it was so much fun. I would love to play it again.

I went to Amazon and purchased the Syma Helicopter and when it arrived, I immediately tested it out. During my test flight, I was able to make the helicopter fly in a number of directions. This included moving up and down, left and right, and forward and backwards. The helicopter didn’t go too fast so you can easily maneuver it. And the same time, it was not so slow that it would be boring. The gyroscope makes controlling the helicopter ridiculously easy. Anybody could pick this helicopter up and start playing with it with no problems. I didn’t even need to use the trim button much because it never spins out of control. The material of the toy is also very durable so even if you crashed, it would not break. Since control of the helicopter is simple, you can easily fly this indoors. To charge up the helicopter, you can either charge from the controller or through a USB port on your computer. I like that you can charge from the USB port so that you do not use up the batteries in the controller. Here is a video of the helicopter.

I would imagine my son would really enjoy playing with the Syma R/C Helicopter. It was so much fun for me that I could not imagine it would be any less fun for him. This is definitely one of the best RC helicopters and the price was just right. It is not very expensive at all.

I went online to Amazon and bought the plush doll early just to try it out first. The doll I received was about 5 inches. It’s a good size doll as in it is not too big and yet not too small. The special thing about this doll is that it can make sounds. There are a couple of sounds that this doll makes it seems like the sounds are particular to this bird. I would imagine that the other birds have their own unique sounds as well. The sound mechanisms are hidden inside the plush doll so I think it would be no problem for kids to throw the doll around. Just don’t throw it too hard otherwise it could damage it. I had read some reviews where people had problems with the sound where sometimes it would not make a noise. The solution to this would be to open up the circuitry and adjusting the contact by making sure it touches the right place.

I think that this is a very cute angry birds toy and I believe my kid would love it very much. Anyone that loves Angry birds would probably enjoy having this around. Even if you are not a kid, you could probably just set this on your table as decoration. I found myself wanting to keep the toy to myself instead of giving it to my kid. For the price I bought on Amazon, I consider this to be a very good deal.
