It's always a great Holiday season for toys since they love to unveil all the greatest top toys. This year's Holiday Gift Guide is full of fun learning toys that kids and moms alike will love! In our home, We have always been fans of Vtech. They make high-quality toys that last a long time and truly bring smiles and enrichment to each child. After attending a fun Mom's night out, we were given one of their latest toys to review and it's a musical sensation!

In Honor of the film that is coming out THIS FRIDAY, Oct. 12th, why not recreate a more feminine version of Slappy The Dummy?
