We Have Been Celebrating Talking Ginger's Birthday -- And, Now You Can, Too! (Review and Giveaway)

Disclosure:  I was sent samples from the vendor in order to write up an honest review.  The views I share are mine and mine alone.

If you follow me on Twitter and Facebook, then you have probably seen me posting the following Talking Ginger You-Tube clip, that announces the upcoming Ginger's Birthday app, set to release the end of April.  If you missed it, here it is:

In addition to sharing news of the new Ginger's Birthday App, I have also been sending birthday wishes along to Ginger, who celebrated his birthday on April 18th.  And, to help celebrate this milestone birthday and build excitement for the upcoming app, I was sent a bag of Talking Friends Superstar goodies to share with girls, including their very own Talking Ginger doll. 

This is not the first Talking Friends doll we have.  This past Christmas I reviewed the Talking Bob doll, and ended up picking up a Talking Ben doll, so that each of the girls would have a Taking Friends pal to play with.  When the girls are not hugging or carrying around their Talking Tom or Talking Ben dolls, they love sitting on the couch with them, and having them interact with their iPad apps.  Even if you don't have these lovable Talking Friends Pals, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the fun apps.  Prior to receiving these dolls, the girls loved playing with the FREE Talking Friends app, and having our Talking Tom Doll repeat interact with the different Talking Friends app.

 

Now, we have three times the fun, thanks to our growing collection of Talking Friends.  And, when we are not playing with the goodies we received, the girls and I continue to head over to the Talking Ginger's Playground website to more birthday fun, including a downloadable birthday party cookbook, checking out birthday card created and sent in by some of Talking Ginger's favorite fans, and snapshot preview of Ginger's new app.

Keep an eye out as the new Ginger's Birthday App from the popular Talking Friends Superstar app line becomes available.  And, make sure you pick up this cute interactive Talking Ginger Superstar to share with your children and interact with the app once it becomes available the end of this month.  My husband and I have found ourselves playing with the interactive app and Talking Friends dolls when the girls are napping.  How can we help it, the Talking Friends are too cute, and the apps are a blast to play around with.  Oh, and did I mention that there is a FREE app you can download and watch 10 episodes of the Talking Friends Cartoons.  Click here to download it now --  http://tf7.co/Cartoons/.

Want to help celebrate Ginger's birthday?  Then, I have just the thing for you -- a giveaway, valued at approximately $150.00 worth of Talking Friends loot.  One lucky reader will win the same bag of goodies, including notebooks, magnets, a water bottle, app FREE credit to use in the app store, and the Talking Ginger doll, which comes with its own backpack that you can store Ginger in, and bring along with you on the go.

Check Out an App from Out-of-This-World! -- Zimmiz!

I am excited to introduce you to Zimmiz!  "Endearing with their wide-open sparkling eyes, chubby cheeks and incredible lifelike facial expressions, Zimmiz are now making their planetary debut as a brand-new app for the iPhone and iPod. 

Designed for little Earthlings ages 4 and up, the free app is now available on the App Store (itunes.apple.com/app/zimmiz/id531599706?mt=8&ls=1).   An Android version of the new app will follow sometime this year.

Like any young friend, Zimmiz shows a range of playful emotions and reactions – 300+ animations and responses!  Zimmiz laughs when tickled, forgets to cover his mouth when he sneezes, closes his eyes when he gets tired, becomes annoyed when poked, blows bubbles with gum, sings, repeats, fogs up the screen, chokes on his food, burps and even…farts! When Zimmiz is dropped, held upside down or given a little shake, he may laugh, get dizzy, or, worse, get sick!  Children simply slide open his mouth to access cool games – and they can make their Zimmiz entirely their own by customizing its eyes and skin color as well as the shape of its nose, lips, teeth and signature birthmark with millions of possible combinations!   

Zimmiz owners can save the unique look that they create for their Zimmiz “freemium” app and, for just $0.99, they can change the look of their Zimmiz as often as they like.

To add to all the Zimmiz fun at home and on the road, a specially-designed plush toy featuring pose-able hands and antennas as well as a pocket for snuggly slipping the iPhone inside is now available here at BuildABear.com!"
