2015 McDonalds My Little Pony and MLP Equestria Girls & Transformers
Once again McDonalds has a great set of toys out, the My Little Pony and MLP Equestria Girls (girls toys) and Transformers (boys toys). I'm not sure why they continue to call them girls or boys since most parents of young kids know that boys and girls like all toys. My girls are still too young to watch Transformers yet but they love their dinosaur and car toys as much as their doll toys.
Anyhow, the My Little Pony (MLP) set is super cute. The set includes both the pony and the doll version of Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Pinky Pie. Super fun to have both sets to play with. I'm also glad they had Applejack even if it means leaving out Rainbow Dash and Rarity.
The Transformer toys are super cool too. There are 4 of each from the Autobots and the Decepticons. The set includes Optius Prime, Bumblebee, Fixit, Fracture, Sideswipe, Clampdown, Underbite, and Grimlock.
One toy comes with each Happy Meal, but you can ask to purchase the other ones separately. Check out the videos to see them!

Fisher Price Little People A to Z Learning Zoo Playset
The Fisher Price Little People A to Z Learning Zoo Playset is one of the best Little People sets you can buy from Fisher Price. It comes with 26 animal figures, one for each letter in the alphabet, a zookeeper, car, food cart, two fences, a fun interactive waterfall, cave, swing and a playmat with voice and sound effects. That is 27 figures, a car and other accessories!!
When you press on the playmat for each letter, you will hear the letter, the animal name, and the animal sound. The animals are perfectly sized for small hands to grab and hold and the expressions on each animal is so cute. My kids usually don't play with the playmat but they have endless fun with the animals themselves, taking them places, putting them in buckets, and feeding them.
The animals in this set are not compatible with the newer Little People Zoo Talkers. The animals will not be recognized or activate the sounds in the Zoo Talker set. However, the Learning Zoo comes with 26 animals while the Zoo Talkers come with only 3 animals and you need to purchase the rest separately. I also think the zoo talker animals are more realistic and thus not as cute. What do you think?

Play-Doh My Little Pony Make 'N Style Ponies
After watching cool videos of YouTubers making awesome MLPs, I was super excited to get this set and try it out for myself. This set came with a lot of accessories. 4 pony molds, 1 book mold, 1 accessories mold plate and 9 tubs of play doh. Each of the pony molds also had 2 stamps on the bottom to make cutie marks. Plenty to make lots of little ponies! Although with 4 pony molds, I thought it would've been nice to include a 4th large tub to make 4 ponies at once instead of just 3.
The hardest part for me was filling out the eyes in the mold. It's hard to get that tiny lump of play doh into the exact spot. Especially that spot of white in the middle of the eye. I think next time I might just do the eye after molding the pony.
The hair was also a little tough. The extruder generated very nice stands of hair, but all the segments were connected and I had to cut it to separate them. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
My favorite part of this set is the book mold, there is something satisfying about filling up a mold with lumps of play-doh, close it, squish, and then open to reveal a beautifully formed pony.
I purchased mine from Kohls, but you can get yours at Amazon
Take a look at my ponies and let me know if you want to see me build more!

Hape Stormy Seas Sturmsegler game
This is a fun balancing game for todders and preschoolers, although older kids and adults also find it to be a lot of fun. The pieces are made from bamboo and the perfect size for small hands to grasp.
The idea of the game is to take turns placing pieces on the ship in such a manner that it doesn't tip. The 'loser' is the person who tips the ship with his/her piece.
My kids actually enjoy loading the pieces on the ship and then put something very heavy in order to see it all come crashing down.
I've seen this game at Marbles the Brain Store but purchased mine at Amazon.
