Little Tikes – Endless Adventures® Fold ‘n Store Picnic Table Combo Pack Review!

287 views
Being a mom of more then one child and the oldest being almost ten years old I’ve had my fair share of what works and what doesn’t. I have been a faithfully customer of Little Tikes since as far back as I can remember, and for good reason.
I have never had a Little Tikes product that hasn’t been a great investment for my kids. They are always easy to clean, fun to play with, and fit a good age range where my kids can play together.
Endless Adventures® Fold ‘n Store Picnic Table Combo Pack
The ultimate kid’s table, this unique 4-sided table is ideal for snacks, games, crafts, picnics and more!
  • Seats up to 8 kids.
  • Natural wood grain look and color helps it blend in with other outdoor furniture.
  • Compact design makes it easy to store and hang on the wall.
  • Center hole holds the Little Tikes® market umbrella.
  • Includes UV protected blue market umbrella with carrying case to keep kids in the shade on hot summer days.
  • Ages 2 to 8 years.
I will have to be honest here and say this was definitely one of the harder products I’ve had to put together. Normally Johnny does all my building but he got frustrated with it and left Daddy and myself to do it. It’s definitely easier with a second person. It took quite some time for us to build.
Folding it down I thought would just be a pull of a lever or something and then just push down like it looks like the girl is doing above- it’s not. Its actually quite the process to fold this picnic table and you’re going to need tools to do it.
However, with all that said if you are like me you are going to use it all summer. You’re not going to be folding it up and putting it away regularly so its a one time assembly and then twice a year you’ll have to deal with folding it up or down. We don’t have a shed for all over our summer stuff. It all has to go in the cellar so it is key that this is able to store with minimum space!
There is plenty of room on this table for my kids to have their own space. You can easily fit multiple kids at this table with no problem. Even my 9 year old (who yes I know is above the age range) can comfortably fit at this table. We have had this for about six weeks and the kids have done everything from paint, play, and eat at this table. It matches with our own outdoor decor which is great too! If it gets dirty I simply spray it with a hose. Before we go in we just close up the umbrella and leave it out. It’s received no damage or wear from spending the past six weeks outside either. I read some other reviews and people complained about the umbrella fitting through the hole on the table but we haven’t had a single issue. We absolutely LOVE this picnic table! It has been a great asset to our outdoor living space! It will also remain outside more then likely until around the first snowfall since it’s the best spot on the patio for playing.
You can purchase the Endless Adventures® Fold ‘n Store Picnic Table Combo Pack directly from Little Tikes for $99.99. It includes both the table and the umbrella!

Little Tikes – Backyard Barbeque™ Get Out ‘n’ Grill Review & Cozy Coupe® Giveaway!

1,271 views
Little Tikes is a well known name at our house. We have been purchasing their products for years. Even I had Little Tikes toys when I was little. Of course Little Tikes has come a far way since the toys I played with in the 80′s but the fun they offer still stands. It’s no surprise Little Tikes is celebrating their 40th Anniversary right now! With fun, durable toys you know that will last for years it won’t surprise me when they are around in another 40!
I knew from the moment I saw the Backyard Barbeque™ Get Out ‘n’ Grill that Gavin would be thrilled! He loves watching his Daddy cook up hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill and often mimics him in his kitchen in his room.
It came in one box not too big in size.
It was a bit more to assemble then other Little Tikes Toys we own. You will need a drill to put it together. Of course like everything else my 9 year old built this so I wouldn’t call it complicated. One thing I learned the hard way is that sometimes Little Tikes stickers go one before all the pieces. When we built our Little Tikes Super Chef Kitchen we weren’t able to get one of the stickers on afterwards. So make sure to put the below sticker on before the knobs.
Once it was all put together I could hardly get Gavin to step away long enough to take pictures. I’m actually holding him back when I took these.
We love this Little Tikes Backyard Barbeque™ Get Out ‘n’ Grill. I am definitely interested in purchasing the accessory sets to go with it. The Backyard Barbeque™ Backyard Picnic and the Backyard Barbeque™ Chef’s Accessory Set are both on my to get lists!
The grill even has two side burners and hooks to hang their spatula and tongs!
Gavin loves that the doors below the grill open and close. And yes! They do close. I have so many products that get stuck or don’t actually close but these open and close with no problems.
Gavin just loves being able to flip his hamburgers and he keeps practicing to try and make the prefect flip.
To celebrate their 40th Anniversary Little Tikes is going to give one J. Leigh Designz readers aan Anniversary Edition Cozy Coupe®! We bought Gavin an Anniversary Edition Cozy Coupe® for his birthday last year and he LOVES riding around in it!
Little Tikes has offered one J. Leigh Designz Readers an Anniversary Edition Cozy Coupe®!!!

Little Tikes – Anchors Away Pirate Ship Water Table {Review & Giveaway}

1,632 views
Little Tikes is a name I grew up on! I have pictures of myself driving one of their trademark Cozy Coupe’s! Can you believe that this year is the 40th anniversary of the Cozy Coupe?
The Cozy Coupe isn’t the only great product Little Tikes has though! They have a great selection of all new Outdoor Kids Toys for you to have some great summer fun!
I was super excited to know that the Anchors Away Pirate Ship Water Table was on its way to our home. My boys love anything that has to do with water!

Ahoy matey! Get ready for a water-time adventure with the Anchors Away Pirate Ship! Two fun characters, a squirting shark and a constant running water fountain make sure that you will have hours of fun on the high seas.

Features:

  • Fun pirate ship theme loaded with spinning features.
  • Durable plastic construction that’s built to last.
  • Center mast is a constant-flow water fountain. Keep water moving with pump or by pouring water into the crows nest and watch everything spin.
  • Spinners cause current in the ship which moves floating objects around.
  • Aim and squirt water from the water cannon.
  • Steering wheel spins and anchor raises and lowers by cranking the handle

I really love that everything you see here comes with the Anchors Away Pirate Ship! It did require some assembly but it didn’t take long. You will need to pull out a drill. If you have a handy 9 year old like I do its simple enough for them to do on their own. My son completely assembled ours by himself.
The table itself has a simple plug at the bottom so you can easily fill and drain the boat. Since all the pieces are hard plastic it is easily washable and can even withstand the elements of weather if you need to leave it outside.
My boys have such a blast with this Anchors Away Pirate Ship because it provides so many activities for them. It has two different people characters that can steer the ship, ride in boats, etc.
My boys love the cannon squirter. This cannon can shoot water pretty far making it fun to try and aim at each other. Since it swivels around you can point it anywhere you choose.
It also has an anchor that you can turn in and out.
My boys favorite part is the center mast.
It runs off C batteries (not included). With the push of a button it pumps water up from the Anchors Away Pirate Ship and runs it down over the different kinds of spinners. Of course Gavin loves grabbing the buckets and filling it up making it go even faster.
This Anchors Away Pirate Ship has been a huge hit at our house. It’s not hot here yet like it is in the South but the moment the sun comes out the kids are asking to pull it out and fill it up! Here’s a little clip of my boys playing with it:

You can purchase the Anchors Away Pirate Ship for $79.99 directly from Little Tikes. I promise you this is one purchase every little boy or girl will love this summer!

Little Tikes – Super Chef Kitchen™ – Review!

1,094 views
Little Tikes is all set for this holiday season so make sure you check out their amazing selection of outdoor toys, ride on toys, kids furniture, and sport toys. They have baby toys, toddler toys, preschool toys, and so much more.
From their Pretend Play selection we were able to try out the Super Chef Kitchen. I was amazed at the quality and size of this kitchen for the amazing value price of only $79.99. Do you know they have multiple play kitchens for less then $100 So forget those outrageous priced kitchens and get your money’s worth from Little Tikes!
As you can see the kitchen all came together in a good sized box. If you were to give this as a gift what kid wouldn’t LOVE getting a wrapped up box of this size.
The kitchen came in only a several pieces making it super easy to assemble. Actually it was so easy to assemble that I didn’t do it. Johnny did. Yup, my nine then eight year old put this kitchen together with nothing but a screw driver! So, if you have an older child this will also be a fun project for them as well.
The size of this kitchen is perfect!It can be easily tucked in a corner when not being in use. Yet, this kitchen is still a full size kitchen. This would be great for small rooms or apartment living. We actually have it right in our living room.
As you can see this kitchen still has ALL of the fun options that the big ticketed kitchens do. The microwave, oven, and cabinets all open providing added use and play. There’s a towel rack and a sink to wash all your dishes in. Plus, don’t forget that there’s a detachable cell phone.
As you can see it even comes with quite a few extras! All of this comes standard with this great kitchen!
It comes with:
1 coffee pot
2 plates
2 cups
2 forks
2 knives
2 spoons
1 frying pan
1 phone

I’m a big coffee person so my son loves to play with the coffee pot and bring me coffee {every} morning. He loves that he can cook me breakfast and make my coffe just perfect for me. He even stirs it with a spoon saying it has cream and sugar!

His favorite feature of this kitchen is the sizzling stove. When you turn the knob the stove makes noise. It helps add to the fun and helps with all the imaginary ideas he comes up with!

This kitchen is so worth the price. It is durable and I know that it can take all my son throws at it. The stove door opens down and he already has a habit of standing on it. As much as I tell him not to he continues to do it. However this kitchen takes it and you can’t tell that he’s been doing it. While this kitchen is lightweight enough to carry from room to room its still sturdy enough to not be pushed around or knocked over. This is a great kitchen that I can’t find any dislikes about even when trying! I highly recommend this kitchen!

Plus, what kid doesn’t love a huge box to play with?

You can purchase the Super Chef Kitchen™ directly from www.littletikes.com for just $79.99
