iPieces By Pressman Toy {Review & Giveaway}

My children love the iPad.  They are constantly fighting over who gets to play with it, and despite downloading many games that they should be able to play together, they just don't.  Until now.

This summer, when I was at BlogHer I was able to play with the new iPieces games from Pressman Toy.  These games are super cool because they not only have physical pieces, but they work with the iPad by downloading an app from the App Store (included in the price of the iPieces).

My favorite of the games is iPieces Air Hockey.  It is seriously fun for my kids to play together, or for my husband and I to play with them.  The game comes with two strikers that you use to hit the virtual puck on screen.  My kids thing that the options you can add to the game, like the hole-in-the-ice obstacle are hilarious, and quite frankly, I think they are challenging!  Check out this awesome video that can really show you how the games work.

Pressman Games not only sent our family Air Hockey to test, they also sent us the fabulously fun Fishing Game.  I am probably dating myself, but this game reminds me of the old fashioned, wind up game, where you had to put your poll into the magnetic fish mouths and catch as many as you can.  It was one of my favorites when I was small, and now as a mom, this game is another fave!  Especially because there are far less pieces to lose, and both of my kids can play it easily even with the youngest being only 2 1/2.

The iPad is such a great tool for my kids to use when they are needing a distraction - when we are on a long car ride, a plane, waiting in a doctor's office, etc. and having games that they can play together has been awesome!    I have to say that they little cases that the games come with are really great for storing the  pieces and you can throw them in your bag without worrying about anything breaking.

If you are still looking for stocking stuffers or presents for those kids that have everything, these are perfect!  In addition to Air Hockey and Fishing, there are also 2 iPad "board" games - Snakes and Ladders and Game of Goose.  (Plus a new iPieces Billiards game is out!)  I found these games on Amazon (with Prime shipping!) for about $10 - $13.  Not bad at all and seriously tons of fun - especially if you are traveling this holiday season!  (This could make airport delays a heck of a lot more bearable!)

And now, for my favorite part of this post...  a giveaway!!!
