Cars 2 Fun: Part 2

Shannon posted the other day on her little ones’ excitement over the upcoming Cars 2 movie.  Well, my house is abuzz with the same excitement!   My husband and I are both so excited to take my son to see the movie next weekend that we have argued about who gets to go, and finally decided to get Grandma to stay with baby girl so we both can join in the fun!

My three year old spend countless hours playing with his Cars “guys” as he calls them, and is so excited to go see the movie. I resisted introducing him to the Cars franchise until last Christmas, as I knew as soon as he discovered them, he would be hooked, and to be honest, “character-y ” stuff for kids gets on my nerves a bit.  But, I will admit, the look on his face of sheer joy when he plays with them, and the excitement he gets for a new car is worth my little annoyance with being sucked in by the retailers for everything and anything Cars and Cars 2. And suck me in they have! Anywere you go you find fun little Cars themed things that will bring a smile to your little people’s faces.  Here are a few of the thngs I have seen out and about!

Recordable Storybook

I love the Recordable Storybooks from Hallmark! When I saw that there was a Cars one coming out, heck yes, we will have to have it! Word on the street is these will be available June 2oth for a limited time.

Kelloggs Cereal

I have never bought my kids a true “kids” cereal…but I might be inclined to purchase this to celebrate movie premiere day. He would flip! Kellogg’s Disney Pixar Cars 2 cereal.  Plus, they have 10g of sugar, which isn’t the worst out there.

Puzzles

My three year old loves puzzles! He will sit and do a puzzle for a long time all by himself, I love how they make him think and problem solve. Plus, they are great for travel. Find a few on amazon for $11.99 for a 46 piece XL puzzle.

Plates

If this set gets my little one to eat great meals, it’s worth the $21.99 price tag.  Available at Target.

Plush

Disney has adorable plush Cars 2 characters in two different sizes. We took a special first trip to the Disney store and my little guy picked Holley Shiftwell, because she is purple…his favorite color. On sale now for $8-13 dollars!

As frustrating as it is to give in to these random impulse buys here and there for these silly things when you find them, they really do give little ones such joy when they see their favorite characters in new places.  Watching their excitement is the absolute best, so a few sugary cereal mornings may be worth it!
