The $20 “blenders” that I used to purchase several times a year were like a mixing spoon compared to this powerful machine. Additionally, the Blendtec Blender will help in the kitchen with many cooking prep items and end up saving you time so you can sip that mixed fruit drink you made! I love my Blendtec!

Nickelodeon Video Games – Dance 2 and Bubble Guppies

Looking for video games for younger kids then consider two games from 2K Play, Nickelodeon Dance 2 and  Nickelodeon Bubble Guppies:

 Nickelodeon Dance 2 (2K Play) - You can dance with your favorite Nickelodeon characters including Molly, Gil, Nonny, Deema, Milli, Geo, Bot, Kai-lan, Rintoo, Tasha, Tyrone, Pablo, Dora, Diego, Boots, Swipder, Kiki, Shout, and more! There are 30 popular songs plus a new ‘Freeze Dance’ mode that will keep kids on their toes with a twist on the classic game ‘musical statues’. There is also an enhanced ‘Workout’ section to promotess heart-healthy activities like arm circles and lunges. I like the multi-player capability which allows kids and a friend, parent, or grandparent to move and groove on every song. $39.99 SRP, and is available for Nintendo Wii and XBOX 360 Kinect.

Through these topics, kids learn about science, math, literacy, and much more in this preschool musical comedy set in a vibrant, aquarium-inspired underwater classroom. Molly, Gil, and their fish-tailed classmates are just like all preschoolers-learning about the world around them through playful investigation. Rated EC for Early Childhood. $29.99 SR is available for Nintendo DS.
