Our favorite cartoon characters from childhood is the star in the latest McDonald’s Happy Meal, Tom and Jerry! We were on our way to work and I saw the McDonald’s new poster for their happy meal toys.

Penguins of Madagascar are the latest toys of McDonald’s Happy Meals. Collect Skipper and friends and add them to your collection of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys. We were buying breakfast at a McDonald’s near DFA ASEANA yesterday and Gwen is so happy with the new happy meal toys.

If you have a toddler at home and loves watching cartoons on TV and YouTube, then you’ll most likely know this adorable pig named Peppa Pig. Gwen and I watch it on YouTube everyday and was thankful that Nick Jr. is now airing it from Monday to Friday, 9:30 am. I also see on YouTube some toy reviews of Peppa Pig toys but the staff from Toy Kingdom and Toys R Us are clueless about Peppa Pig.
But hooray (in Peppa Pig fashion)! There are Peppa Pig toys at Toys R Us as of June 1 (I asked the staff hehe). We visited Toys R Us in Trinoma earlier and we’re lucky to see a complete stock, the staff said they just reordered because the Peppa Pig Playhouse was sold out a few days after it was released. I really like the Playhouse but Gwen wants the Camper Van, my wanderlust kid’s personality really suits it so camper van it is.

So finally, I jumped into the looming craze. The Rainbow Loom has been around in the US since last year but it’s only now that the craze hit the Philippines. They even had a Rainbow Loom Expo in SM Megamall last week. At first, I was adamant not to join the craze, I thought, “Why pay 899 pesos for just rubber bands” Even though I really think it’s cute and I love accessories!
I’m really tempted to buy one whenever we’re in Toy Kingdom or Toys R Us, but I just brushed off the idea because although it’s said to improve fine motor skills, Gwen is too young for this toy (kaya para sa akin talaga to!)
But when I saw my that friend Nicquee is selling a cheaper version of the Rainbow Loom, I decided to give it a try, after all, it’s only Php 120. If I don’t like it, then it’ll save me a few hundred bucks from not buying the original. If I like it, I can just stick to the cheaper version and buy more loom band refills or buy the original.

Today is one for the books especially to parents and kids as McDonald’s brings back the iconic Red Box. I’m sure you all remember that McDonald’s Happy Meal came in a box, I don’t know why they got rid of the box some time ago and they just give a you toy wrapped in plastic. Now, our kids can truly enjoy opening a box of happiness with the McDonald’s Happy Meal box.
The McDo Happy Meal box will be available starting September 19, 2013
