Electrifying Battles in Dragons Race to the Edge

Dragons Race to the Edge season 2

In the brand new season of Dragons: Race to the Edge, premiering only on Netflix January 8th, we will get to see all new dragons and electrifying battles! Hiccup, Toothless and the Dragon Riders (Astrid, Tuffnut, Heather, Ruffnut, Fishlegs, and Snotlout) all return for epic adventures as they battle an all new band of ruthless Dragon Hunters and learn more about the Dragon Eye artifact.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps, what will be the coolest characteristic about the new season of Dragons: Race to the Edge will be the epic dragons we get to see. Along with new dragons, we will also get to see the return of some rather dangerous dragons such as the Skrill.

dragons_skrill_gallery_02

About the Skrill from howtotrainyourdragon.com:
“One of the most mysterious and feared species in the Book of Dragons, the Skrill is aggressive, powerful and nearly untrainable.

“Skrills do not breath fire. Instead they channel lightning down their metallic spines, firing it from their mouths in a shower of destructive blasts. They can also store this electrical power in their bodies and release it later on.

“Because of this unique firepower, Skrills tend to gravitate towards stormy weather. If you find yourself flying through a thunderstorm, watch out!

“Skrills are also tough. They can take a lot of damage in battle, and give as good as they get. However, the Skrill has one weakness….it cannot fire it’s lightning from the water. Force a Skrill in the ocean and it loses the upper hand.”

Check out a Sneak Peek of the Skrill in the all new Season of Dragons: Race to the Edge

Find The Panda, The Cat, Or Maybe C-3PO

Find the Panda

I am assuming, at this point, that almost everyone has seen the “Find the Panda” Game made by Gergely “Dudolf” Dudás. You know, the one where you stare at a picture full of snowmen and focus on finding a cute black and white panda all the while thinking, “How hard could this be?” Only to find that maybe it might be harder than it looks. Then, of course, you find it and now it is impossible to unsee and the thrill of he hunt is gone. Well don’t lose heart, because there are now several “Find the Panda” Games posted throughout the internet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With this fun little search game going viral, many more people are jumping in on the fun and creating their own games. The following images below are some of my favorites, especially the Star Wars ones. Those are Epic! So Can you find the Panda?…or perhaps the cat? Or how about C-3PO?

Toys “R” Us Star Wars: The Epic Battles Posters

Star Wars The Epic Battles Posters

Over the last couple of months, Star Wars and Toys “R” Us have had an event going on where fans can head to Toys “R” Us and collect the epic Star Wars Medals. To do so, fans had to bring in the certificate stating that they had played Star Wars: The Epic Battles and won. When the employees at Toys “R” Us saw the certificate, they would hand the players a medal. There were four games and four medals to collect featuring the planets:

  • Hoth
  • Endor
  • Tatooine
  • and Yavin

Each Epic Battle game was actually like a “Where’s Waldo” game where players had to find five specific characters or machinery hidden within a massive poster of chaos. R2-D2, C-3PO, Ewoks, Luke Sywalker, Max Rebo, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and more were all hidden within the scenes. Let me tell you, the games were fun and entertaining! In fact, I loved the Games so much, I saved the posters to create my own search and finds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It turns out that I am not the only one that loved the posters. The moment people found out I had copies of these posters, I began getting emails requesting copies. I figured it would be easier to share these posters on my blog and let all the fans download them. All you have to do is click the image and save the jpeg to your computer. So easy, a jawa could so it.

Note: I did not draw these, create these or own these. These posters were part of the Star Wars: The Epic Battle Games by Toys “R” Us.

8 Fun and Free Printable Christmas Paper Crafts

8 Christmas Printables
Here is a statement that will send chills through our bones if we are net yet prepared, Christmas is Tomorrow! Yeah I can’t believe it either! However, Merry Christmas Eve!

On this festive day of the year, it can be somewhat difficult to get the kids calm. The excitement of Santa Claus coming to town to deliver presents even makes me wide awake with anticipation. In my family, I have seen the excitement filter into non-stop energy. Picture the Game of Lava, where they jump from object to object and never touch the floor, however, remove the objects. The kids (and adults believe it or not) remain in the air in a destructive Tornado like force. It can be difficult to calm the masses and get them settled for a wonderful evening, unless you come prepared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like to be prepared for the moments of a natural-disaster energy burst with a Christmas Emergency Fun Kit. Simply fill a small box with crafts and quiet games, then, when things get crazy, pull it out and get the family involved. Be sure the activities get everyone to sit and think. I find Paper Crafts are a wonderful distraction and can easily be made with a holiday theme. Below are 8 examples of what could be great additions to any Christmas Emergency Fun Kit. Simply click on the images to fly over to the websites to download their templates and learn how to make them.

Other items that can be added are board games (avoid long games, they can cause restlessness), Coloring Pages (I have several printables ones on my blog featuring Slugterra, Princess Palace Pets, Disney’s Frozen and More), and anything else you can think of.
