Traintastic: Chuggington Toys are Coming Soon

June 1, 2010June 1, 2010 by Jen Rabulan-Bertram

One of our favorite Disney shows, Chuggington, unveiled another new episode this past weekend. I hope you guys were able to catch it.

I’ve got a bunch of Chuggington news planned in the coming weeks…and actually, I was planning a fun viewing party with a few of our fellow Chuggington friends for last week, but had to reschedule. I’ll be sure to share our soiree once our family is moved and we can get together with our Chuggington pals.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share about some other Chuggington news. Did you know as of May 17, you can now pre-order Chuggington Toys? The toys, already available in the U.K. and other locations, are making their way stateside.

Zibits Mini RC Robots: Small in Size, Big on Fun

A few weeks ago, I doted on the cuteness of t he teeny tiny trend at Toy Fair, but I left out one tiny toy in specific, simply because I think it deserves its own post. Zibits might be small in size, but they’re big enough to warrant their own post for being so cute.

At just 2-inches, Zibits from Senario, the new remote controlled miniature robots, might be small in size, but are big on fun.

Check out the size of this Zibit in comparison to the Blackberry:

I had the chance to meet with Mike Nakamura, the founder and CEO Senario to learn more about Zibits firsthand. After talking to Mike, I learned that there’s already been a lot interest in Zibits from kids (and adults) of all ages.
