GIANT Microbes: Mixing Fun, Science, and Plush! ~ #Review

I received this product through Outburst Media in exchange for my honest review.

Mix science, fun, and plush with GIANT Microbes!As most of you already know, I’m a huge fan of GIANT microbes, as we’ve featured them here on the blog before. I love the uniqueness and fun aspect of their plush toys and other products. They make such great gifts for little budding scientists too!

If you aren’t familiar, GIANT microbes offers plush toys that are made to look like tiny microbes, only multiplied a million times their actual size! Each one comes with an information card detailing facts on the microbe the toy represents. What a fun way to learn about microbes! GIANT microbes is always releasing new plush toys with every season. Their lasted microbes include crab louse, muscle cell, and babesia!

I received this information as a blogger via Walt Disney Publications. I did not receive financial compensation.

Got Milk? featurning Sully & Mike from Monsters University

Are you counting the days till June 21st? I am!!  That’s the day MONSTERS UNIVERSITY will hit theaters worldwide. I’m so excited to see Sully and Mike back on the big screen for more monsterous fun.

Mike Wazowski’s (voice of Billy Crystal) lifelong dreams of becoming a Scarer are derailed during his first semester at Monsters University when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), and their out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program.

In honor of the film’s upcoming release, check out the super cut ‘Got Milk?’ ad above! What a fun way to teach your little monster about the importance of a glass of milk with breakfast. Even the monsters at MONSTERS UNIVERSITY know that they need milk to fuel day!

Don’t forget to connect with MONSTERS UNIVERSITY on Facebook and Twitter!

You can also connect with the Milk Mustache community for tips, tools and activities including tasty morning recipes for all the little “monsters” in your family!

Is your family good about remembering to drink milk with breakfast?
