On Saturday morning we entered a
whole new world, and that world went by the name of Mooseworld.
Mooseworld
was set up at Smart Artz Gallery in South Melbourne, which I will add is a stunning little area in a great spot.
The
huge open space was literally packed with toys and different spaces that the
kids could have a little play and get a feel for the Moose toys that are out
and to be released.
We
were greeted at the door by the beauties from Undertow Media and given a little raffle ticket for the door prize. Finally I got
to put a face to all this backward and forward emailing with Phoebe. I don’t know how or why, but when you are emailing someone
you create a little image in your head of what a person would look like in real
life. So it is great to meet someone face to face and makes it all the more
enjoyable to send off them emails. But anywhoooo….
Watching
the girls faces as we stepped foot into the Smart Artz Gallery was absolutely
priceless. Their eyes could not open any larger and their mouths could not open
any further. But luckily enough I could keep them by my side long enough to get
their name tags off, but as soon as they were on the girls were off.
Hayley
headed to the Glitzi Globes table where she was lucky enough to create her very
own glitter snow dome. I love that a very old thing is still being made and
played with, although I never remembered being able to create my own. Once you
have picked what you would like in the dome, you add your water and use the
clamping tool thing and seal off your glitzi globe. Then there are really cute
accessories where you can turn your glitzi globes into necklaces, rings,
bracelets and so much more.
Hayley
ended up making to glitzi globes, one for herself and one for her sister
Madison, which I thought was super cute and caring. Theres are new from Moose
and even took out two awards this year:
·
2013 "Craft & Activity Toy of the Year" (Glitzi Globes),
Australian Toy Association
·
2013 "Australian Development Award" (Glitzi Globes),
Australian Toy Association
After Hayley finished creating at the Glitzi Globe stand where Madison stood watching on, they ran straight for The Zelfs. The Zelf’s is one of Moose’s newest releases and are just rolling into stores
now. They are really cute little mystical creatures that almost look like and
elf and a troll has babies. The one thing I love about the Zelfs is their eyes,
they are almost real like and really make their faces come to life. I think 90
percent of the day Madison spent it here playing away and stacking The Zelfs up
and evening grabbing a Bright Light Pillow and making a bed for them. I want my
girls to collect these, as I love them and would love an excuse to go and buy
them and reveal a surprise (you don’t get to see what you
are getting with the smaller Zelfs.) The reason why I am leaving this so short
and sweet is because I will be popping a detailed review up shortly that will
give you some great insight into The Zelf’s
and their world. J 
I
mentioned above that Madison got her hands on a Bright Light pillow, and tears
were shed when I told her she had to put it back! She loves these kind of
things in bed with her, and doesn’t like anything to
bright and that stays on all night. This is an incredibly soft pillow that
lights up and changes colours. The lights inside are LED lights so they give
off a beautiful bright light, but the cushion itself dims it down and perfects
the pillow. I think Santa may have to bring Madison one of these for Xmas, but
now I think about it I may get her one for her travels to QLD.
In
the middle of the room was a huge table filled with Micro Chargers and many
different tracks and battle domes for the kids to have a play and get a feel
for them. Madison can become a real tomboy at times and will only want a car
and a truck, and a little streak of that came out when she saw the table in the
middle of the room. Her Daddy and her played there for a good 20mins and only
left as there were other kids that wanted to have a turn J The Micro Chargers can
and will provide hours of fun for both kids and those big kids to!
The
area my girls spend most of the day was at the Trash Pack section. When
these first came out my girls were invited to have a play and were sent a pack.
Since then their love has grown and the Trashies have become popular worldwide
and have really taken off. The way I describe them to my friends and family is like
little knuckles only they are what you would find in a trashcan only turned
into cool gruesome toys. Actually we were SUPER lucky enough to have won one of
the smaller (but massive in our eyes) Limited Edition Trash Pack play set. So I
wont go into to much detail here, but when the prize arrives I will post a
little review on it with photos and all that you can have a little looksee for
yourself.
Of
course there were lots more of things thanks to Moose to play with here, but we
were so busy and had to leave to head straight to the footy. Unfortunately we just ran out of time and did not get to see them all. But I am sure you
will hear me talking about them on my blog as I will make it my mission to let all you
beauties out there know about all the awesome and wonderful products from
Moose.
There
was also a little nail bar there where us Mummies (and Daddie’s) could treat themselves to a hand massage and even
have their nails painted (for free!!) And next to that were some very yummy
snacks and treats, which Madison found almost in the first 5 mintutes!!
Lastly
I would love to send a HUGE thank you to Moose and also Undertow for allowing
me, and the family to be apart of it and for treating them to a really fun
morning. I will say there was tears shed walking out the door as they didn’t want to leave, but the amazing goodie bags soon
dried up those tears!
