For the past 3 years we’ve had the pleasure of featuring several different items from Discovery Kids 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 & Feature.

Today we’re featuring the Discovery Kids Night Talkies – They’re walkie talkies with built-in flashlights that allow your kids to go outside and explore at night. Each package comes with 2 walkie talkies and they’re for children ages 5 and up.

Rugged & Durable Design
Built-in Flashlight
Requires 3 AAA Batteries
Use Indoors or Outdoors
1 Year Warranty

My grandchildren love to play outside and that includes nighttime excursions, especially when we go camping or down to our beach house. In the past, they just used everyday flashlights or lanterns when outside at night. While flashlight are fun, they had no way to communicate with one another, other than yelling back & forth.

The Discovery Kids Night Talkies are one of the coolest walkie talkie sets that I’ve ever seen. I love that it’s made specifically for young children and that they’re perfectly sized to fit into a child’s hand. Each one has 3 easy-to-use buttons, 2 are on one side and are push-buttons and the 3rd one is on the other side and is an on/off switch. The flashlight is located at the top of each walkie talkie and they can be used with or without the flashlight function.

My grandchildren had their new walkie talkies out last week and were playing hide and seek with their pappy. It gets dark on the east coast around 5 PM, so its nice that we can let them outside after dinner and they can see what they’re doing. As they were talking back and forth (giving hints to their hiding location), I could clearly hear the other person speaking. They have really nice sound quality for sure! I’m not sure of the “range” for the walkie talkies, but I can tell you that I have a large backyard and the kids were all over it and still within range of one another. My grandchildren think they’re pretty cool!

Like most children, my grandchildren love animals. All kinds of different animals and that includes the creepy ones like spiders, bugs, snakes and worms! While I’m not personally fond of them, my grandchildren find them fascinating and enjoy learning about them.

For this Holiday Gift Guide feature we received the new Discovery RC Tarantula with LED Infrared Controlled Technology to review & feature for you. This particular item is made for children ages 8 and up. You will need 3 AAA batteries for the remote control and 3 AAA batteries for the Tarantula, a total of 6 AAA batteries for operation (not included).

This realistic RC Tarantula has light-up LED eyes and quick realistic movement. Using the wireless remote control your kids (or grandchildren) can make the tarantula move all around. Underneath the Tarantula is a built-in universal wheel that gives him flexible, life-like action.

My grandchild and my god-son like taking their new RC Tarantula outside onto our front porch or back deck to play. While it will basically work on any surface, I do recommend a smooth surface for the best life-like action. In other words, it will work on carpet, but works even BETTER on cement, wood or tiled floors.

What’s really cool is that the remote control is perfectly sized for a child’s hand and it’s really easy for them to operate on their own. As long as they’re 8 years of age or older, they won’t need any adult supervision at all. My grandchildren had it up and running all on their own within 2-3 minutes. They like having the Tarantula go across the ground/floor and sometimes they set up small obstacles for him to go over.

You can find the Discovery RC Tarantula with Infrared Technology at various retailers across the nation. You can also find it available on Amazon for an affordable price. What a great gift to give this holiday season or if your child has an upcoming Birthday, it would make a great gift for that too!
