Skylanders Academy is back with Season 3 on Netflix and my crew couldn't be more excited! My kids (especially my boys) love all things Skylanders - from the Netflix shows to the video games! I find the little characters all over my house - boy there is a ton of them too!!
To celebrate the new season, Skylanders sent us a bunch of goodies and we decided to invite a few of our neighbors over for a little Sunday evening party and to share the swag!
This season picks up right where Season 2 left off – After being turned evil at the hands of uber-villain Strykore, Spyro returns as an undercover agent, Dark Spyro, and is set on finding an ancient artifact hidden at the Academy that will help Strykore take over the Skylands. With Kaos out on his own quest as a pirate captain, it will take all the Skylanders uniting to help Spyro remember the true hero he really is and restore peace to the realm. I won't ruin the whole season for you - but here is a great trailer to give you a feel:
To add to the fun of the evening - we ordered pizza but I also found some fun AND EASY Skylanders themed snacks on Pinterest. I made some "Crusher's Hammers" by cutting up block cheese and pushing in pretzel sticks and red grapes make great "Spyro Eggs". The kids loved them! Right now there are tons of great ideas out there - so if you want to have a Skylanders party just for fun or need to plan a birthday party - I highly recommend checking out Pinterest!
We had a good range of ages over, but hands down both the girls and boys in the 5 -9 year old range were fixated on the show! One or two actually had not seen all of the previous Skylanders episodes, but were still able to pick up on the story line and enjoy the good versus evil. As parents, we enjoyed that there was even some (appropriate) adult humor (if you watch it with your kids.... there is one line about motherhood that I will all moms will find funny).
I received complimentary product and compensation in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own.
