of a couple of anonymous gifts to buy for some Christmas gatherings. \u00a0As I was taking a mental inventory of \u00a0what presents were purchased, I realized that it would be nice to buy a few stocking stuffers for the kids&#8230;just in case Santa didn&#8217;t already have plans for an overflowing stocking. \u00a0If you&#8217;re looking for some ideas, stockings are a great place to put added characters to a set you may have bought for your children for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been reading WellConnectedMom this year, it&#8217;s no secret that we are big fans of the Disney Infinity Starter Pack for the Xbox360, Wii, or PlayStation 3\/4. \u00a0We knew it was a winner when we saw it at the <a href=\"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/29\/the-best-upcoming-family-games-from-e3-2013\/\" target=\"_blank\">E3 Tradeshow <\/a>earlier this year, and it has been on our <a

href=\"https:\/\/infinity.disney.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Disney Infinit<\/a>y Starter Pack includes the Disney Infinity Game, a portal, and three loved Disney characters. \u00a0By placing your character on the portal, the character is transformed into the game. \u00a0Mr. Incredible will show up in the Incredibles game, Sulley will show up in the Monsters Inc. part of the game, and Captain Jack Sparrow appears in the Pirates of the Caribbean game. \u00a0You can then buy additional characters to enhance your games. \u00a0Although each character cannot appear in another movie set\u2019s theme, your kids\u2019 imaginations will run wild in the Disney Infinity Toybox, which is also included in the game. \u00a0Here, your child can play with various Disney favorite characters and create their own world, complete with if, then statements. \u00a0For example, your child can program things like, when a character stands here, they can be flung to another area of the screen. \u00a0And similar to Mindcraft, your children can build their own worlds \u2013 they can even build their own Disneyland if they wanted to. \u00a0The Toybox alone is worth getting just to introduce your child to creating and light programming. \u00a0Disney Infinity is rated E10+ for cartoon violence by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/09\/know-the-ratings-on-your-kids-video-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ESRB\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, the Disney Infinity Starter Pack comes with Mr. Incredible, Captain Jack Sparrow, and Sulley from Monster&#8217;s Inc. \u00a0All three are great characters, but it won&#8217;t take long before your child will begin asking for more characters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-11798\" alt=\"October 022\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>My family of 4 loved The Incredibles and could identify with each of the characters in the sense that we too have a younger energetic son, an intellectual girl, and my husband and I. \u00a0In fact, my son so loved Dash when he was 2, he dressed up like Dash Incredible. \u00a0Here he is giving his best tough guy look.<\/p>\n<p>I knew that Mr. Incredible would need some support from his family through the Disney Infinity collectibles. \u00a0I visited Walmart to find the Violet for my daughter and Dash for my son. \u00a0The characters were $12.96 each, and will fill the top of the stocking nicely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-11796\" alt=\"2013-12-17 11.51.07\"
