More on LITTLEST PET SHOP

My daughter loves Littlest Pet Shop toys - and I have to say that I am becoming a huge fan as well. The little figures are fun to collect and play with. Each toy is unique and comes with teeny, tiny accessories that are almost as adorable as the pets themselves.

Recently the Littlest Pet Shop line went through a bit of a redesign. If you look at the “eyes” you will see a difference. Several new pets were introduced so now there are even more to choose from. Each Littlest Pet Shop figure is numbered so you can easily keep track of your collection. And Hasbro even has a place on their website where you can manage your pet collection. You just need to create an account and check off the pets that you already have. If there are pets on your wish list, you can track these too.

Meet several of the new pets at Hasbro.com’s Toy Shop.

If you like Littlest Pet Shop, you will enjoy some of my other posts about these toys. I have done an in-depth review of LittlestPetShop.com and the Littlest Pet Shop VIP’s. My review was done shortly after the Littlest Pet Shop.com VIP release in New York City. Now that these virtual toys are available nationally I will be taking a second look at the VIP World in the next few days and let you know how it has evolved - so stay tuned! And if you haven’t already, you may want to check out MonkeyBarTV.com where you can play free online games featuring some of Hasbro’s most popular characters including Littlest Pet Shop and others.

MonkeyBarTV.com

Featuring kid favorite characters like Transformers, GI Joe, Littlest PetShop, Star Wars (my kids love this one), Dream Life Superstar, and Spiderman - there really is something at MonkeyBarTV.com for everyone.

The variety of games is staggering and they are a lot of fun. Take the Star Wars category for example, there are five games to choose from, four videos to watch, and four activities - including a create your own comic book which is very unique. My boys are big comic book fans so they like to play around with this. In addition MonkeyBarTV.com has downloadable desktop art for your computer so you can set your wallpaper to one of your favorite themes.

One interesting feature of MonkeyBarTV.com is the Weekly 100 Tournament. Kids can play the featured game and the top 100 scores of the week will be featured on the MonkeyBarTV Top 100 Board. Those people with the 3 highest scores will win a prize and be included in the MonkeyBarTV 100 Hall of Fame.

MonkeyBarTV.com can keep your kids occupied for hours. It is free to use and family friendly.

For the younger set, there is MonkeyBarTV Jr., so little brothers and sisters won’t feel left out. This site features games and activities from Mr. Potato Head, CandyLand, Tonka, My Little Pony, and Play Doh.
