Upcoming Release – Nickelodeon Fit for the Wii

I just found out about a new game coming for the Nintendo Wii that combines characters kids love from Nickelodeon with fun physical activity! Kids can jump rope with The Backyardigans, go river rafting with Diego, leap over hurdles with Kai-lan, and pogo stick with Dora in a new, youth fitness product exclusively for the Wii – Nickelodeon Fit. Scheduled for release this fall, Nickelodeon Fit is a new way for kids to stay physically active as they exercise and engage with their favorite characters, all together in a video game for the first time!

Nickelodeon Fit features 30 exercise games targeting cardiovascular activity, core muscles, upper and lower body strength, balance, motor skill development and foot and hand-eye coordination. Using either the Wii Remote™ or the Wii Balance Board™ accessory, kids engage in several physically challenging activities.

Watch for Nickelodeon Fit for the Nintendo Wii to be available this Fall!

The  “I Spy” series of books from Scholastic is a great way to teach kids rhyming words, plus there is just something so fun about searching the image-packed pictures looking for that little blue marble or the yellow sailboat. If you aren’t familiar with the books, this is a synopsis:

Easy-to-read riddles by Jean Marzollo are paired with forty-six object-filled photographs by Walter Wick to create I Spy A to Z, the most engaging alphabet book ever! With more than thirty titles and 36 million books in print, the I Spy series continues to win the hearts and minds of parents and kids everywhere.

The newest book in the series is I Spy A to Z , with pages devoted to objects that start with each letter of the alphabet, and Scholastic sent me a copy to review.  I read it with Kaitlyn and she also will sit and page through the book herself. I hear her talking to herself, naming the objects she can see on the pages. It’s the beginning of reading and it’s very cool!

When I found out that this giveaway also included the I Spy Wii Game, I asked if they had a game they could send me to review as well.  Now, the I Spy books are aimed at younger kids, but the Wii game is definitely for older kids. It’s the same basic idea, searching for a list of hidden objects, but you use the controller to move around in the scene and the objects are much harder to spot.  Each level has action challenges like using the Wiimote to juggle balls or move a ball through a maze. Ryan, Nathan and I are having fun playing it!
