Back in July, I attended an event called “Sweet Suite” which was a part of the larger “Blogger Bash” conference and was set up by the fine folks at Toy Insider. If you’re new to the website and missed those posts please click through onto THIS LINK so you can learn what it was all about. It was a good time for sure but now we are diving in to another event that they do called “Holiday Of Play”. To give you a better idea of what this one is, I reached back in time to their own website where it was lined out as…
“HoliDAY of Play event is where 120 bloggers, vloggers, and members of the press will meet face-to-face with some of the top companies in the toy industry and get hands-on experience with the best toys on the market.”
The sign in the lobby sent us up to the penthouse of this Manhattan skyrise and when we close up on this one I will make sure to post a visual from “way up here”. Next up is the “step and repeat” for those who wanted a quick photo op.
I love robots and things that let you make them so this Jimu Robot was pretty cool in my eyes.
Fans of the NY Giants Football team will recognize the great David Tyree. He’s pretty famous for a history making catch during the Super Bowl.
They are the PJ Masks and they are on patrol at the “Holiday Of Play” today.
The folks at Hasbro were here today and showcasing a lot of interesting things. This crazy party game called “Speak Out” for instance.
Its always a treat to see our friends at Vex Robotics and their Hexbug offerings.
That’s enough for now don’t you think? I’ve got another loaded to the brim chapter for you to enjoy so let’s close up with this one for the time being and say come back tomorrow for the rest. In the meantime, please click through to the websites linked below so you can learn more about the awesome items that these companies are putting out. For additional viewpoints, images and updates from the field as we experience them, please follow “The Chronicles Of Piercing Ken” on the popular social networks of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We’d love to have you along for the ride.
