Transformer Rescue Bots Mobile Headquarters Playset (Review)

My son in no stranger to Transformer Rescue Bots; in fact he has every single Rescue Bot toy available except Blades, the Rescue Copter. He was even named the Playskool fan of the week on Face Book recently - showing off some recent additions to his collection. 

One of those recent additions to his collection was the Mobile Headquarters Playset; a very cool and interactive toy. First of all it looks like an over sized fire truck - but then add that to the awesome sounds coupled with the pop open action and ejection of Optimus Prime with Cody at the wheel...together they can save anyone - it's super cool. The Mobile Headquarters has been in action as part of his collection for nearly two months and I can honestly say that my 4 year old hero is still going strong, acting out and rescuing anyone in distress.


At the conclusion of this season of Transformer Rescue Bots (on the Hub) they introduced the Mobile Headquarters so that makes it even more special for him.    
This Rescue Bot toy is also the first one to be released with an actual human friend from the show (Cody Burns).


So if you are on the fence about adding this to your Christmas list my opinion is that you can't go wrong. You get a great toy with some definite staying power that I feel like any pre-schooler would enjoy.

Transformer Rescue Bots Birthday Party

OK so this year I had birthday party #4 under control. We were going to splash and play at a local spray ground ( Creekside Playground & Sprayground ) so our theme would be "Splish Splash"...or so I thought. After months of planning and discussing with my soon to be 4yr old, he informed me that "Splish Splash" would not work. Are you kidding me!? Seriously - I only have like 4 weeks until B day and I have been working & researching this theme for months (thank you Pinterest )!  OK so what would you like the theme to be son? Mom, I want Rescue Bots at my birthday party. Hmm OK so I go off in search of Transformer Rescue Bots . HAHAHA jokes on me - there are NO such ready made decorations for Rescue Bots . *sigh* NOT AGAIN! Last year he wanted a theme that was not readily available for purchase in the stores (online orders only) and I vowed that I would never again allow this to happen. It stresses me out. But anyone that knows us knows that what the pri

DIY Transformer Rescue Bots Pinata

I am going to share my pinata making experience because I had never done this before and searched all over for references. OK birthday boy requests Transformer Rescue Bots party theme which is to include a pinata (Optimus Prime from Wal-Mart is apparently unacceptable). So I set out to make it. Shouldn't be so hard, right? Searched around the house for stuff to use and decided to use a Coca-Cola 12pack box. Why? Because we seem to always have 1 around. Cut it apart using the side structures and started to fold and tape a general logo. Once the general shape was done I taped a piece of heavy art paper to one side to bear the weight of the paper mache strips. Now time to get messy! I tore strips of newspaper and tossed them into a small container and mixed up some glue. I couldn't recall the goo recipe so I googled and found a super easy one. It was one part flour to 2 parts water; easy enough. My kiddo wanted to help once the mixing started (he likes to stir things). Then i

Transformer Rescue Bot Costume (DIY)

Well in keeping with our theme of the year (Transformer Rescue Bots) my kiddo chose a Halloween costume that wasn't available in stores. I was surprised to find that there were several options available for purchase with Rescue Bots just not the particular hero we were looking for. So for a couple of days weeks I thought about how I was going to put this costume together, make it warm (since it's typically coat wearing weather where we live), and keep it comfortable while allowing him easy access for potty breaks. These are all legitimate things to consider for small kiddo's. I finally decided to construct the whole costume from fleece and I used quilt batting on the interior. Let me apologize for the poor quality photos - I just snapped a few with my cell phone not anticipating a blog post. But after placing 2nd in a nationwide online costume contest I had second thoughts - and well I blogged. :) The body of "Chase" the Rescue Bot is constructed l
