Angry Birds Plushies

Build-A-Bear Workshop is now selling stuffed versions of the Angry Birds.

The game Angry Birds is a very popular game on smart phones and is now playable on Google Chrome as well. To play in the Chrome browser, visit here.

The plush versions are all 5 inches tall and I believe each of them makes a noise. They cost $12 a piece, and are available at your local Build-A-Bear or online.

Kung Fu Panda 2

The summer movie season is now in full swing, which means that Kung Fu Panda 2 will be out in theatres this weekend!

I really enjoyed the first movie and hope that this movie will live up to my expectations. I have heard some basic early reviews and it seems like it should be good. Of the summer movies so far this one should be entertaining for the whole family. I will be seeing it this weekend sometime, and I can report back after that.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is rated PG, and has a running time of 90 minutes. To find out more about the movie see IMDB.

Here is a trailer:

BarkNetwork

I learned about BarkNetwork.com today while watching the Show Dog Championship, sponsored by ProPlan.

The BarkNetwork is the worldwide home for Athletic Dogs, where you can find out about dog sports, teach your dog tricks, find local dog organizations to join, events, and more. It is a social network as well, so you can talk with other dog lovers and get tips or advice. You can also see pictures and watch videos.

So if you have any interest in dog athletics, I would suggest joining this network to learn more and find events and organizations in your area.

Winnie the Pooh Duplos

Did you play with Duplo blocks when you were little? Duplos are the younger child version of Legos, designed for ages 1 and a half to 5 years, and they have teamed up with Disney to offer sets with Pooh and friends.

These would make excellent Easter gifts for younger children. If I had little kids I would probably buy these for them because I love Pooh and building toys.

Winnie the Pooh’s Picnic: $9.99

Winnie the Pooh’s House: $29.99

Features Pooh, Eeyore, and Piglet

Tigger’s Expedition: $19.99

And if you like the idea of Duplo, but not Pooh, the brand also offers other cute sets like these:

Baby Zoo

World People Set

Toy Story 3 – Jessie’s Round Up

Lap Giraffes

Have you seen this Direct TV commercial?

The end features a miniature lap giraffe. I think the giraffe is adorable! Did you ever wonder if you could get your very own miniature giraffe?

Well, now a mini giraffe can be yours from petitelapgiraffe.com!

Here are pictures of their giraffes:

Here is what the website states about Petite Lap Giraffes:

“Petite Lap Giraffes are very funny animal that require special care. They need lots of love. Hugs and kisses every day. Otherwise they make tears. If you have children, petite lap giraffes no problem. If child is loud, the giraffe will be shy, but does not bite. PLG’s are very clean. With training they will go in box like cats. Allergies never a problem.”

Should you want to know more about mini giraffes, or how to get your own, please visit Russia’s finest purveyor of lap giraffes: Sokoblovsky Farms.

Have a great April Fools Day!

Platypus Day

Disney celebrated Platypus Day on March 5th, in celebration of Perry the Platypus and the new season of Phineas and Ferb.

The show logo:

Logo for Platypus Day:

Phineas and Ferb is an amazing animated show on the Disney channel. Phineas and Ferb are two brothers who try to make the most of every day of summer vacation by having ridiculous adventures. Their sister Candice trys unsuccessfully to tell their mom of her brother’s exploits. Perry is their pet platypus who is actually a secret agent. I think that this cartoon is far better than spongebob – if you want something to compare it to.   The show is funny and very entertaining, I suggest checking out a few episodes.

Perry – as a regular Platypus

Perry as a secret agent

Whether or not you enjoy Phineas and Ferb, I think that we should all pay tribute to the amazing Platypus. I mean, what is not cool about a mammal that lays eggs and looks like a cross between a beaver, an otter, and a duck?

Kawaii Corner

I was in San Francisco for a conference when I happened to walk past a little store called Kawaii Corner.  I could not pass up taking a look at their selection of cute merchandise. They have a website ( kawaiicorner.com) where you can see some of the amazing items they have for sale.

I made a couple perchases:

1. Hamster Popo –

The tag listed a website, but it seems to no longer be in existance. Should I find out more about this adorable hamster I will let you all know.

2. A set of the iwako animal erasers which I previosly posted about:

The little sun next to the erasers was my free gift from a capsule machine. It was a little Pooh Bear peek-a-pooh which has a string on it so you can hang it from bags or cellphones (etc.).  To my surprise as I read the paper about it the little pooh bear actually comes out of its costume!

So cute!

Bye for now!
