Bubba Tested Mommy Approved

Well, this is my first of what is hopefully many Works For Me Wednesday posts. If you click the pic above you will find yourself at not only a wonderful blog, but today a place to find all the information you need to arm yourself with for Christmas shopping for the little rugrats in your life.

Bubba is a rough and tumble boy who puts his toys through more tests then toy creators could ever think of. Below you will find a list of some of his and our faves.

Disney Pixar Cars Toys :
This link will send you to a page that contains all things Cars related. Bubba has a ton of these cars and some that we have even had to buy twice. He crashes them, submerges them in water, and a few have made it down the steps or have bounced off a wall or two in a tantrum. He loves the new mini cars which is just their way of making us restart our collection. He plays with these cars over just about anything else. I guess this is why we are panning on spending what we think is a crazy amount for the car eating Banchee this year. But, we KNOW he will play with it.

Thomas the Train:
Who doesn't love Thomas if you have a boy? Bubba LOVES his choo-choos, and we have found that the wooden sets frustrate him because they are constantly falling apart. Last year we bought him some of the Take Along Thomas sets and he now plays tear free. He is even getting to the point where he can put it together himself. These are great because when you are done the track fits neatly inside whichever house or building they came with. Nice and easy most of the time. I have found it is just easier to teach him to clean them up if I keep the tracks and trains in a bucket and a seperate spot for the buildings.

These are a few of our favorite things. I would list girl toys, but Monkey just isn't into toys all that much unless it involves stealing what Bubba has and having him tackle her to get it back. Someday she will learn she doesn't like to be tackled, that or I may end up with the first woman NFL player.

We are huge Thomas/Cars fans at our house too. I didn't know about the minis. Thanks for the hint!

Great list. My little guy loves trains, cars, and anything with wheels. Thomas and Disney Cars are his faves right now.

Those crazy Cars cars are great! My 7yo started collecting them, and now my 2yo really loves them. He is happiest when he has two of them to hold, one for each hand!
