Modarri cars, durable, buildable kits for 8 and up

We were provided with product for review.  All thoughts are our own. Large plastic buses are the gateway for kid vehicles. When they turn 4ish, they start to crave Hot Wheels and it’s possible that phase lasts for decades. Shortly after this age kids want to create things.  Certainly the age of LEGO will satisfy that. However with cars kids want to pretend they’re driving them, push them down with their fingers and have them careen of cliffs, play sets or race down the driveway. Modarri is the car that fills this void, it’s something that children 8 and up can build, customize, is highly durable and rolls without any effort.

A Modarri kit comes with everything (including the screwdriver) that a child needs to create their own finger driven car. You can choose from dirt, street or track, with each design taking on a scaled down appearance of their full size brethren.

The Night Before Christmas: A Brick Story, studly Santa

Take two things that are wildly popular with children. The Night Before Christmas and LEGO. One is a classic story about Santa Claus delivering presents, while the other is a brick based toy that generations of children have loved playing with. I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this first. The Night Before Christmas: A Brick Story is simply a LEGO retelling of that classic tale and our children are going bonkers for it.

New all age comics for December 2, 2015

December is here and I thought that the all age comics would slow down. Alas, it’s one of the busiest weeks in a while with lots of new graphic novels, one mini-series coming to an end, a classic title coming back and a brand new one with superb lineage.

Spidey is back! The classic series from the 70’s is back at Marvel. This time Spidey is a teen, a true teen in high school trying to manage girls, peer pressure and the side effects from a radioactive spider bite. There are two trade paperbacks featuring Batman ’66, one for Ghostbusters Get Real, My Little Pony Friends Forever, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Simpsons Illustrated #20 and Regular Show #30 come out this week. If you’re looking for a go-to basics in TV to comic book medium you should dig into either of those.

New all age comics for December 2, 2015, Spidey, Batman 66, Jim Henson's Storyteller Dragons, Skylanders

#1 of Jim Henson’s Storyteller Dragons comes out this week too. The previous Storyteller mini-series told short stories about witches from all over the world. The art in that series was fabulous and it told a story that could be enjoyed by upper middle schoolers and above. This latest series focuses on various dragon stories. Just look at the cover to fall in love and find your new favorite comic.

The music in the podcast is Jahzzar, it’s instrumental rock, but he plays all manner of world stuff too. You can dig into all of his stuff at Free Music Archive.  The links will take you to TFAW where you’ll save up to 20% on anything through the links.
