Scholastic Media Announces “The Magic School Bus: Dino Shuffle” App

July 18, 2012 By

Back-to-school season is right around the corner and Scholastic Media
is bringing its Magic School Bus to the Leapfrog
App Center for the very first time.  The Magic School Bus: Dino
Shuffle app, for the Leapfrog LeapPad, will be available for
download in the LeapFrog App Center this August.

Players will be able to shuffle through a Dino Deck compiled by
everyone’s favorite science teacher, Ms. Frizzle, to learn hundreds of
interesting dino facts, including size, diet, speed, and more.
Children can then test their dino knowledge in two exciting,
fast-paced, and highly replayable games.

Target’s Mommy Ambassador, Soleil Moon Frye, Reveals Top Holiday Picks

November 11, 2011 By

I attended Target’s Holiday Toy Preview on November 9, and had the great pleasure of meeting Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster, Sabrina the Teenage Witch). She is Target’s Mommy Ambassador, and frankly, one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Soleil has two daughters herself, and seemed to have a ball talking about her favorite toys for the holidays. Rocking a pair of comfy slipper socks, Soleil walked me through Target’s top holiday toy picks, and introduced me to the toys she chose as her personal top picks:

  • Disney My First Princess Doll and Toddler Dress Gift Set
  • Disney Cars Charge n Race Speedway
  • LeapFrog LeapPad
  • Barbie Hairtastic Printables
  • Paper Jamz Pro Series Microphone
  • Scrabble Flash

Perhaps I should have removed my heels and rocked some slipper socks myself. It was a pleasure to meet you Soleil!
