A @HEXBUG Nano Halloween Party! #HexBug #MomSelect #HEXBUGHalloween

One of the best things about being a review blogger is being able to test and review the newest and coolest stuff, especially toys!  Because of our affiliation with MomSelect, we were lucky enough to be given an opportunity to host a HEXBUG Nano party for our kids and their friends.

The party kit contained:

• 12 Limited Edition HexBug Nano Halloween Mutant Zombie

• 15 Glow in the Dark HEXBUG Nano Galileo Collection bugs

• 2 Glow in the Dark HEXBUG NANO GLOW IN THE DARK HABITAT SET

• 3 extremely rare glow in the dark Hexbug Larva

• 1 Glow in the Dark HexBug Nano Elevation 3D Glow-in-the-Dark Habitat Set

• Hex Bug Power Cells batteries (16 two-packs)

HEXBUGS in Action!

While a single HEXBUG is amazing fun, imagine several different types and habitats! Their habitats have  tracks and that can easily be put together, in any pattern that you choose, and use any HEXBUGS.  Watch as the HEXBUGS are sent chasing each other. My kids just love watching the HEXBUGS in their habitats.
This is one of those toys I will be purchasing for the holidays. It wasn’t just the boys either! The girls loved them. No one has put them down! I sent each of the kids home with Hexbug power cells, Glow in the Dark Hexbug Galileo creatures, and a Zombie, for some fun at home and you should have seen the excitement! This is a toy that not only entertains, but one they will continue to play with! So definitely money well spent this Christmas.

Keep watching our website, Facebook and Twitter and we will have more videos and pics up at a later date!

Our thoughts:
Little Man was so excited to try this out that he didn’t really want to share. Even though some time has passed, he is still interested in his LeapPad loot. We love that while they are ‘having fun’ they are learning! We also love that he grabs the LeapPad products when we are busy instead of turning the television on.

Stay tuned! We'll soon be posting a video of the family and all the kids using the LeapPad and Tag system on here as well as our YouTube channel!

Disclosure: I received free LeapFrog products from Mom Select in order to host a Learn, Create and Share party and give our opinions on the products. All opinions are mine and honest. I received no further compensation.
