For the past 3 years we’ve had the pleasure of featuring several different items from Discovery in our Annual Holiday Gift Guides and I’m really excited to be featuring them again this year! Even though we’ve only been featuring their items for 3 years, I’ve been buying their toys & games for even longer than that!
* Complimentary Item Received for Review and Feature.
For our 8th Annual Holiday Gift Guide we received a complimentary Animal Planet RC Alligator Encounter to review for all of you. This item is for children ages 5 years and up. You will need to supply the required 2 AA batteries and the 3 AAA batteries that are needed to make it operate.
Produce Features:
– Light-Up Eyes
– Chomping Jaws
– Life-Like Motion
– 2.4 GHz Wireless Remote Control
– 18″ Long
When purchasing this item, please take note of the batteries that are needed and pick those up at the same time. As soon as your child gets their new Alligator out of the box, they’ll want to play with it right away. So, don’t forget the batteries!
One of the things that my grandchildren like about the RC Alligator is the light-up eyes. If you look closely at my photos…you’ll see that the eyes are yellow in some (they’re lit-up) and in one picture they’re black (not lit-up). My grandson loves those eyes!
Next, the alligator is pretty large…measuring in at 18″ in length. The wireless remote control is perfectly-sized for a child’s hand, so it’s easy for them to hold and use. The kids like making the alligator walk around, swing his tail and of course…open and shut its jaws! He looks fierce!
My grandchild LOVE their new Animal Planet RC Alligator and have been playing with it a lot. They like taking it outside onto the porch where he moves really great. If you have carpeting in your home, he doesn’t move quite as well, so have the kids play with it on a smooth floor surface for best results.
The Animal Planet RC Alligator Encounter is available at various retailers across the nation and on Amazon for a really great price. You can connect with Animal Planet over on Facebook.

We get together with our grandchildren several times a month for play dates, movie dates and game night. Last week we had the kids over for a fun game night and I’m super excited to feature that game today as part of our Annual Holiday Gift Guide.
The game is called “The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game” and its geared towards children ages 3 years and up. You’ll need 2-4 players to play it. It’s one of those games that is fun for the entire family to play!
Game Includes:
Colorful Tree-Shaped Game Board
1 Squirrel Squeezer
20 Colored Acorns
1 Game Spinner
4 Logs
Instruction Guide
Synopsis: Your forest friends are hungry and need your help! Spin the spinner, grab the matching colored acorn with your Squirrel Squeezer, and stash it in your log. Be the first player to fill your log with delicious acorns and you win the game! The game sounds simple, but you could also spin a sad squirrel and lose a turn, or a sneaky squirrel and steal a nut from another player.
Awards: The Parent’s Choice Foundation awarded this game the Parent’s Choice Silver Honor.
Offered as a separate purchase is the complimenting “The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel” board book from Educational Insights. This book is based on the best-selling board game (featured above). This book is perfect for children up to 3 years of age.
Synopsis: The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel hid all his acorns, but he was too sneaky and now he doesn’t know where they are! Help him find the acorns so he can get ready for winter.
My grandson is 2 years old and at this age, we ONLY give him board books, otherwise he’ll rip up the pages as most toddlers do. This book is absolutely perfect to go along with the game. As you read through the story and flip through the pages you’ll find these “flaps” on the pages where the child will lift them…to find the hidden acorns.
We love this book as it teaches your child to think and problem solve, plus its great for teaching them hand-to-eye coordination. The story is fun & entertaining, but what makes this book a real winner are those lift-the-flap areas on the pages as you go along. It keeps the child’s interest and makes reading & learning fun!
Giveaway: One lucky winner is going to win the Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game and the coordinating Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Book from Educational Insights! This item will NOT arrive in time for Christmas. Good Luck!!!
