Peanut's Pageant Playset

I love to decorate for Christmas so every year i've been buying a new decoration for the house (or 2 or 3 or 10, lol).  Anyways, last year I bought the Fisher Price Little People Nativity Set and it was a huge hit with the kids, so I decided on the Peanut's Pageant Nativity Playset this year.    Here's my review in a nutshell….NOT kid friendly at all!  You will flip your lid trying to keep all of the pieces upright.  This playset is cheap, flimsy and annoying.  Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely adorable and who doesn't like the Peanut characters?   The figurines themselves are super cute, but the actual playset is a bit of a nightmare.  The stage is made of thin, cheap cardboard (not even real cardboard) and it doesn't stay together very well.   The headpieces don't fit the figurines' heads…I mean what the crap?  Why make a headpiece that isn't going to fit?  Snoopy keeps toppling over, and after fixing this playset for the 100th time today, i've decided it's going back in the box.   Save your money on this one.  Buy the Peanut Christmas DVD's instead.  You will thank me for this!

Spooky Fun!

How freaking cute is this?  M got a Halloween themed Mr. Potato Head at Fred Meyer today and it's so cute I could just eat it up! He's been playing with it ALL day long. The best part is it was only $4.99. It has a little pumpkin purse and vampire teeth, an orange nose and green pointy ears, plus just a regular black hat and black shoes and the white arms. It also comes with a little cloth sheet that you can attach to the eye piece to make it a ghost.

It's super cute and cheap entertainment for toddlers Actually Bo's is playing with it too right now and she's 6!   This definitely gets a thumbs up and is an awesome addition to a Halloween obsessed house like ours :)
