Jelly Bean Cookies | 12 Days Of Easter #12DaysOf

It’s no surprise that my boys love their gadgets…they all enjoy getting on my iPad and playing the games that I have downloaded for them! I’m so excited that VTech, a brand we have used many times, has come out with the InnoTab MAX!
The InnoTab MAX is VTech’s 4th generation kids’ learning tablet features its fastest processor yet with up to six times the processing power of previous generation and a 7” high-resolution multi-touch screen display. The InnoTab MAX features an enhanced 2nd generation version of Premium VTech Kid Connect™, at no additional charge, allowing children and parents to exchange voice and text messages, photos, drawings and fun stickers in real time between the tablet and a smartphone
InnoTab MAX offers the best of both learning worlds with access to more than 650 educator-endorsed, age and stage appropriate learning titles as well as carefully cultivated educational Android apps that can be purchased and downloaded through VTech’s Learning Lodge® app store. The tablet comes with 15 onboard apps including Premium VTech® Kid Connect, My Magic Beanstalk, Movie Maker, Art Studio, Wonder Cam Max, E-Reader with Story Dictionary and more. InnoTab MAX also comes with one free Toca Boca app and two additional free apps that can be downloaded from the Learning Lodge.
Other InnoTab MAX features include a built-in rechargeable Lithium battery and kid-safe Wi-Fi so kids can explore appropriate online games, videos and websites that have been pre-selected by VTech.
VTech® InnoTab MAX (Ages 3-9 years, MSRP: $109.99)
Little Man was so excited when he saw the InnoTab MAX…”I get my own iPad!” is what he screached…after discussing that not all tablets were iPads we moved on to the super quick set up..connected it to the internet and downloaded a few games we were set to play!
The first thing I noticed was built in cover & handle…that’s great for little hands. It makes it easy to carry around. the cover can flip around to a stand feature which is great for table or floor play.
After a super quick set up and some game downloading we were ready to play! There is so many things to do with the InnoTab Max. Each activity includes a recommend age and grade range. Which was really nice. I like that they offer over 650+ cartridges and possible downloads so you know you will be able to find something to match your child’s needs.
The activities starts at around age 2 and goes all the way up to 9. You can have up to 4 kids profiles, so I can add my 18 month old at some point and his stuff will be completely separate from his brothers. With 8 GB of storage, that can be expanded, there is more than enough room for all of the apps that he has on his wish list.
The camera takes great pictures and has a fun video feature to expand their creativity. The Art Studio is another great app that he loves to explore. With eBooks, Games, and Creative Apps this is a great tablet for kids to grow and learn with!

While in San Francisco earlier this month, we visited the Walt Disney Family Museum to check out the exhibit “Deja View: The Art of Andreas Deja” that showcases original work of his most iconic Disney characters, such as the menacing villain Scar.
In 1980, Deja was accepted into a training program at the Walt Disney Animation Studios. He passed the program and began working on much loved Disney productions. He worked on The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast & Princess & The Frog. The artwork in this exhibit include watercolors, charcoal, ink and paper, sculpture and more. I just love this watercolor of Simba & Mufasa.
But my favorites are his wire works…
If you are a fan of Disney and want to learn more about the history behind the magic then make sure to visit the museum before the exhibit ends. The Walt Disney Family Museum is also displaying works from Deja’s current independent project called Mushka, features a young girl and her tiger, “A story of love and sacrifice set in Russia”. You don’t want to miss it!
The Lion King is now available on digital and Disney Movies Anywhere and will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on August 29!

The characters from Focus Features new family movie The Boxtrolls will be participating in the FirstEnergy All-American Soap Box Derby on Saturday, July 26th at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio. Fans will be able to meet The Boxtrolls, check out their custom-built car, watch exclusive sneak peeks from the movie and enter the Boxtrolls’ fantastical home environment with an immersive photo experience and get free Boxtrolls gear!

Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game. His eponymous company FireBrand is nearing completion on its greatest achievement to date – the tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere. But Tom’s workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer Garner) and his adoring daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman).
Rebecca’s 11th birthday is here, and she wants the gift she wants every year, a cat. Tom hates cats, but he is without a gift and time is running out. His GPS directs him to a mystical pet store brimming with odd and exotic cats- where the store’s eccentric owner- Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken), presents him with a majestic tomcat, named Mr. Fuzzypants.
En route to present his daughter with her dream pet, a bizarre turn of events finds Tom trapped inside the body of Mr. Fuzzypants. Adopted by his own family, he begins to experience what life is truly like for the family pet, and as a cat, Tom begins to see his family and his life through a new and unexpected perspective. Meanwhile, his family adjusts to life with an odd and stubborn cat, and his son David (Robbie Amell), steps up in ways Tom never expected.
If any hope exists of returning to his family as the husband and father they deserve, Tom will have to learn why he has been placed in this peculiar situation and the great lengths he must go to earn back his human existence.
