Since Kaila could say Elmo before she could say Mommy, I knew she would enjoy Sesame Street’s latest DVD release – Big Elmo Fun.
Get ready to join Elmo and Abby for some BIG fun as Warner Home Video (WHV) and Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, release Sesame Street: Big Elmo Fun on DVD April 3, 2012 at an SRP of $14.98. Sesame Street: Big Elmo Fun features three full-length stories, two engaging new songs, a special animated book extra and the full-length bonus content “Monster Hits.”

In the first episode, Elmozilla, the gang is using a growth chart to measure their heights. They’re learning that everyone grows at the own rate but Elmo was to be bigger . . . right now. Abby grants his wish and he finds himself taller than everyone and everything around him. When Elmo’s growing gets out of control, it’s up to his friends to figure out a way to get Elmo back to his adorable size.
Elmo and the Monarch Butterfly is a cute segment that my kids really enjoyed. Elmo and Telly are hunting for insects on Sesame Street. They find ants, ladybugs, and a butterfly. They notice that the butterfly is all by himself so Elmo decides he wants to become a butterfly himself to keep it company . . . but he doesn’t know how. So, Telly and Elmo research the stages that butterflies go through . . . egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally a beautiful butterfly. In the end the butterfly and Elmo Butterfly become friends.
However, my favorite story was Cast Iron Cooks. As a fan of The Food Network and Iron Chef, this hilarious spoof starring Jason Schwartzman had me laughing so hard! In the first round of this segment, Alan, Elmo, and Chris compete against the Iron Chefs to create a “P” Stew. In the second round, the teams must create a stew dish using only ingredients starting with the letter P. In the second round, each team must bake a pie using exactly 8 apples. The final round has the teams cooking Half-garian Goulash. They can use any ingredient they want but everything must be cut in half. Who will win the competition?
This DVD contains some great new songs with our favorite being All Kinds of Fun. It has a very upbeat reggae beat and even I found myself swaying back and forth. Some other bonus features include:
- Animated book: Flutter By, Butterfly
- Brand new song: Measure Yeah Measure
- Downloadable Activity Book
- Tips for Parents
- Full-length video “Monster Hits”
It’s big fun for everyone in your family! Purchase your copy of Big Elmo Fun

New 2-box Cheerios Packages (Giveaway)
With the amount of Cheerios my family consumes, we usually have to buy in bulk. However, those really big bulk boxes make it a little difficult for the kids to make their own breakfast. So what we usually have to do is pour the cereal into another smaller storage container for easy access. Now, this works just fine but it really is an extra step for me. Thankfully, Cheerios has come up with a solution . . . a new 2 box Cheerios pack.
Not only does this 2 box Cheerios pack make my life easier but it also makes it easier to share our favorite cereal with the rest of our family. We can leave one box at home and one at Grandma’s house for when the kids sleep over. And since we’re still purchasing in bulk we’re still getting a great price.
What other benefits come with this 2 box pack? Check this out!
So the next time you’re at Sam’s Club or Costco, check out the new Cheerios packaging and stock up on your favorite cereal . . . without the hassles!

MEGA Bloks Steer-Me Steve (Giveaway)
We’ve always loved MEGA Bloks. These colorful over-sized interlocking blocks are perfect for tiny hands and for big imaginations.We recently received the newest addition to our collection – Steer-Me Steve ($19.99).
Your truck loving child can drive around with the Steer-me Steve Dump Truck by MEGA Bloks and pretend he is a big rig driver himself. Steer-me Steve is perfectly designed for little hands to grip the steer along wheel as they drive through the house picking up the included blocks in the set as his cargo. Stack the blocks on the truck bed or carry them to a new location for construction – it’s all up to Steve and where your child takes him. Once Steer-me Steve and your child reach their destination, the dump truck bed empties the cargo with a simple lever pull. After Steve is empty, it is time to go find another load!

Steer-Me Steve is a big dump truck filled with possibilities. He comes with 9 pieces of MEGA Bloks which are great for hauling around or building towers. And since all the MEGA Blok collections are interchangeable, we can mix and match with our existing collection.
As soon as Kaila saw Steve she just had to play with him immediately. She really liked loading up all the bloks and then using the lever to dump them out again. Load, unload, load, unload . . . she could do that all day long.
She also liked filling the dump truck with other toys and steering them around the room. The big plastic wheels make for a smooth ride and since the truck is divided into two separate moving sections, she can actually use the steering wheel in the direction she wants to go.
However, the best part is the red lever that makes dumping things out so much fun! She really liked that the lever could be moved in both directions which meant the cargo area could be maneuvered without actually touching it. After all, playing with the lever is most of the fun anyway. Plus, it teaches her cause and effect.
Steer-Me Steve encourages imagination, focus, attention, fine motor skills, and social development. All that and fun, too! How could you not love Steer-Me Steve? We do!
