Puppy Party

Running out of birthday party ideas? Here’s a cute idea. How about a Puppy Party? If you live within 25 miles of the South Bay area of Los Angeles, this company will come to your home or party location with 10-11 cute little puppies. Maltese, Yorkies, Pugs and Jack Russell terriers are just a few of the breeds that will arrive. They will set up a gated pen area indoors or out where the kids can play with the puppies. How can anyone resist cute and cuddly puppies? PUPPY PARTY

PLEO

PLEO is an amazing baby Camarasaurus. He operates autonomous without a remote control. He is not a remote controlled toy, he is a interactive pet dinosaur. He is unpredictable. PLEO has needs. PLEO will graze, nap and toddle around on his own and change his mind or mood just as you do. Inside, Pleo is full of technical devices such as IR communication, infrared interrupter, chin touch sensors, front and rear speakers, tilt and shake sensors, ground sensors, leg touch sensors, force feedback sensors, rear touch sensors, shoulder touch sensors, binaural microphones, color camera and head touch sensors. The PLEO is powered by a NiMH rechargable battery. The PLEO has developed emotions, awareness of it’s surroundings, it can evolve and learn what it likes and dislikes. PLEO is not cheap at $300.00 dollars however like I mentioned, it isn’t just a toy. It’s a companion, a cool one. PLEO

Pavilion of Wings – Butterfly Exhibit

Located at the LA Natural History Museum is this great live butterfly exhibit. The Pavilion of Wings. See thousands of rare and not so rare butterflies and moths in an environment of brightly colored flowers. This exhibit is seasonal going from Sunday April 13th, 2008 through Monday September 1st, 2008. The extremely knowledgeable staff is on hand to answer questions and point out the seen and unseen beauties that sometimes disappear with their natural camouflage. They also make sure your littlest one doesn’t crush and smash each butterfly they can get their tiny hands on. This is a must see, and if your are not in Los Angeles, this exhibit does exist at other large museums around the country, check your region for information. PAVILION OF WINGS

Nintendo DS – Reviewed by a Kid (8 years Old)

The Nintendo DS toy is the most, best thing your child will ever play, but don’t let your child play it too long or his or her eyes will get all messed up. I’m an 8 year old kid that loves the DS, and you will react to it just like me. NINTENDO.

Tun Fun – Amsterdam

If you find yourself in Amsterdam with kids and they need to release some energy, take them to Tun Fun. Tun Fun is an indoor playground built in a former traffic underpass. That’s right, right under a highway, but that doesn’t stop kids from having a ball. Clearly noise is not a problem. There is a disco, trampolines, ball pits, indoor soccer, climbing areas and a whole lot more. Watch out for the kids coming around the corner on the skatekarts. There is also an area for toddlers and a cafe. It’s a ton of fun for kids in a very unique setting. Tun Fun, under Mr. Visserplein near Waterlooplein. TUNFUN
