November 2015 Fast Food Toys Round-up

Peanuts toys at McDonald's

November 20, 2015 - November has been a "stay home and eat actual cooking" kind of month. We did venture out to Burger King last month to get two Plants vs. Zombies buckets, but picked up the rest of the Plants Vs. Zombies goodies on eBay.

September 2015 Fast Food Toys Round-up

September 21, 2015 - The boy made one single trip to McDonald's this month, and scored Monster Mutt, one of the Monster Jam trucks. He was so excited by it that he left it in the bag and it sat lost and forgotten until I needed a picture for this month's round-up!

August 2015 Fast Food Toys Round-up

August 26, 2015 - We made several trips to McDonald's in July and August, and collected a few Batman and Monster High toys. Neither license interested the boy, and for our last trip, he decided that he would rather get a 20-piece Chicken McNuggets box than a Happy Meal. (He ate a few at the restaurant and brought the rest home for later - it ended up being about three meals in all.) I'm curious to see if this continues when there are toys he likes.

July 2015 Fast Food Toys Round-up

July 17, 2015 - So far this month, the boy has made it to McDonald's once to get a Minion toy, but I suspect we will be going several more times as well as checking eBay to get a whole set of their toys.

The Minions are everywhere, once again including on Chiquita bananas. According to the MinionsLoveBananas site set up for a movie tie-in contest, there are 32 different stickers. If you are collecting those, you better like bananas as much as the Minions do!

June 16, 2015 - The boy and I managed just a single trip to McDonald's in the past month, and each scored a NERF squirt gun. The "girl version" looks like a pink bow, but shoots water instead of plastic or foam projectiles.

May 2015 Fast Food Toys Round-up

He is saving the Smart Links for when he finds his other Smart Links from past years, so that he can build larger things with them.

There are lots of big movies coming out soon, which means many movie tie-in promotions on cereal boxes. On your next trip to get groceries, take a few extra moments to check it out - there are offers for free movie tickets as well as freebies packed into some of the boxes.

February 20, 2015 - We made one trip to McDonald's last month, hoping to pick up a few of the Sweethearts plush toys, but ended up with a Pete the Cat book instead. The book came with cardboard sunglasses which were quickly lost. The callout on the front of the book leads to a Pete the Cat page on the Harper Collins site - it has an animated version of the book and several activities.
