The Descender from Rockboard #Giveaway #BPopEvents

As part of the Blog Pop Team we’re giving away some really cool stuff this Christmas holiday season. I reviewed the Descender from Rockboard and am really excited be able to give one of these away. The Descender is an all terrain skateboard, intended for ages 8 and up that is really fun to operate. Fun is really an understatement as I was grinning for a couple of hours after I used it.

The Descender from Rockboard is an all terrain adrenaline rush

Remember the “a ha” moment in A View to a Kill when Bond took the blade from his snowmobile and turned it into a snowboard? That feeling is the same as when you step onto a Rockboard Descender. It’s essentially a skateboard for the dirt. The Descender from Rockboard uses treads instead of wheels that allow it to move off road with ease. So, perhaps it’s more appropriate to call it an all terrain skateboard, with wheels like a tank that provides adrenaline and fun.

Alphablock is the best book to teach the alphabet we’ve seen

Uh oh, that title has a lot to live up to. We have about 8 books upstairs that are solely dedicated to teaching small children the alphabet. Is Alphablock really the best book to teach the alphabet that we have seen? Yes, its size, simplicity, vivid graphics and more make it great for kids and enjoyable for the adults.

The new Lego spot is the best dad ad in a long time

Some ads take a moment to grab you, especially if your main character is a dad. The dad ad two years ago from Tide, where he’s talking about braiding hair and doing home stuff was awesome. More often than not the dads in advertisements are lame, stupid, overly machismo or just don’t resonate with me. Game on for the new Lego ad that features a dad building stuff with his child. It’s awesome, brings back great memories and might just make you tear up.

2 books on foreign language and culture: 1 curious 1 conversational

We’re teaching our kids a 2^nd language. I’ll speak as much Spanish as I know, mix in bits of the other languages I speak, put in some Curious George en Espanol and they’re super happy to listen and learn. We received two books that help children understand things outside of their own culture. Bosley Sees the World is an English/Spanish book about a bear that travels the world. If You Were Me and Lived in…..Norway is an introductory book about what life is like for Norwegian children. Both books are good at teaching about different cultures; one just does it from a tourist perspective while the other is more education based.

The new Toys R Us ad is great, but it’s got some green folks seeing red

Have you seen the new ad from Toys R Us? Well, firstly I should say that this is not a sponsored post and I received no cash from anyone for it. However, being an ex PR guy, dad to 2 boys and ex social media manager for some environmental causes I have some insight into this. It’s a hidden camera ad that has a bus full of children going to learn about trees. Once they get on the bus the tour guide starts talking about leaves and then surprise-they go to Toys R Us where the kids run around and play with toys.
