Mattel Barbie Madison and Hot Wheels Review and Giveaway

Remember my blog post about the Mattel Save the Bunny promotion? Well they sent me a Barbie Madison doll and a Hot Wheels multi-pack for free to review and also the opportunity to giveaway a similar set for free. I love Barbie and Hot Wheels so I am so happy for the chance.

I fondly remember collecting and playing with Barbies as a child. My very first Barbie was Crystal Barbie because she had my name, but I never had a Barbie as cute as this. The Barbie Madison doll is so adorable. She is from the Chelsea & Friends Amusement Park-themed assortment and you can collect her other friends for more play. She has her hair up in pigtails, but you can style it how you like. The one I received is holding a large purple swirled lollipop and has a painted face like a kitty cat. She is wearing a souvenir plastic kitty cat eared headband and plastic shoes and a cloth top and matching capris that you can take off and on. She looks as though she has been to the fair or carnival. This doll is small and has little parts so the recommended age is 3 +. My little girls loved the doll and Zari was saying meow, meow for her. Teela's Birthday is April 15th so this was an early birthday gift for her.

I also collected Hot Wheels as a child. I had a yellow plastic toolbox with multi-teired compartments that I stored them in. The Hot Wheels multi-pack I received is a 2011 HW Tunerz set. It is a 5-pack that includes the: Super Gnat (Grey), 24/Seven (Yellow), Asphalt Assault (Blue), Mitsubishi Eclipse (Red), 2008 Lancer Evolution (Teal). This is a great set. My son Jaedan collects Hot Wheels and has the Hot Wheels 100 car case that has the wheels and pull up handle to store them in. He loves to play with his Hot Wheels track and make the cars do neat tricks down it. These are also recommended for ages 3+. My son's favorite car out of this set is the yellow 24/Seven one. Jaedan's Birthday is coming up on May 15th so this was an early birthday gift for him.

Mattel Easter Toy Basket Giveaway and Save the Bunny Campaign

Easter is just around the corner. I am following Mattel's lead and getting my kids better choices in their Easter baskets this year instead of all the junk food and candy. I remember when I was young getting oranges, apples, nuts, copra (dried coconut), a few toys and books and very few pieces of candy. Mattel's "Save the Bunny" campaign encourages parents to buy their kids toys instead of candy to give them hours of enjoyment with something that will last longer than...say, a chocolate bunny and not make your kids bounce off the wall because of a sugar high. You can also visit the Save the Bunny page to enter other giveaways and print coupons and get Easter basket ideas.





WIN IT
Prize: Win a Mattel Easter Toy Basket filled with Hot Wheels, Barbie, Thomas & Friends, Fisher Price, Monster High, etc. Plus there will also be 10 second prizes of either a Barbie Madison or a Hot Wheels 5 Pack!
