    My First Bananagrams

    September 6, 2016 - By 

    Today my son started Year 2 but I’m so glad to have my daughter at home for a few more days! I’ve mentioned a few of the family games we’ve recently started playing. Today I’m sharing another one, My First Bananagrams, which my 4 year old really enjoys. You’ve probably heard of Bananagrams, a word game which doesn’t need a board. Now there is My First Bananagrams, a brand new game designed to help ripen your little learner’s vocabulary. Aimed at age 4 and over, the early-learners version differs from the original family word game with colourful lower-case letters and…

    Trolls Poppy Style Station

    August 31, 2016 - By 

    I am a child of the 1980s and had a Troll doll, did you? They were pretty ugly dolls but I loved its’ super soft hair! So I was pretty excited to see a trailer for Trolls the Movie, a stellar-studded animation film from DreamWorks set for release this October!  The plot revolves around two trolls on a quest to save their village from destruction by the Bergens. To celebrate the release of Trolls the Movie, Just Play is launching a range of hair play and dress up toys based on the cute little hairy characters. Being a troll is…

    August 28, 2016 - By 

    I’ve mentioned a few times here that my children enjoy watching The Lion Guard on Disney Junior. The Lion Guard follows lion cub, Kion, the second-born cub of Simba and Nala, as he takes on the role of leader of the Lion Guard, a team of animals tasked with preserving the Pride Lands and the Circle of Life Earlier this year we watched The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar and also took part in a fun Twitter Party for the new range of Lion Guard toys.

Our family love Playmobil, a top manufacturer within preschool, and we’re looking forward to sharing some of their news, and of course toy reviews, with you over the next few months.

    Peppa Pig fans will love the latest addition to the Peppa Pig range – Princess Peppa’s Carriage from Character Options. This is part of a range of additional Peppa Pig toys which includes Princess Peppa’s Rose Garden and Tower. My 4 year old is a Peppa Pig fan and was excited to see Princess Peppa’s Carriage.

The new toy range is a must-have for Peppa fans and a great addition to existing Peppa Pig collections although you could…

    Family play time with Simon Air

    August 13, 2016 - By 

    One of my favourite things about being a parent is the chance to play with toys, especially those I enjoyed as a child. As a child of the 80s I remember the classic memory game Simon, first released in 1978. Well guess what? It has been given a modern twist. The classic fast-action game where players need to watch, remember, and repeat patterns is back! Touch-free technology is introduced in this edition with Simon Air recognising when a player follows the colour sequence by sensing their motions! I loved this game when I was younger so I was really excited…

    Sylvanian Families convertible car review

    August 12, 2016 - By 

    Little Sis, my 4 year old daughter, loves nothing more than a parcel from the Postman. She has been lucky to open some wonderful post, the most recent contained the Sylvanian Families convertible car. This is a sweet vehicle which really lets your Sylvanians drive in style. The Sylvanian Families convertible car has two seats in the front and a little parcel shelf at the back. It comes in a bright colour with a retractable roof which can be pulled down when the sun is shining. The car comes in one piece and all we had to do was add…

    Who Tooted family board game review and giveaway

    August 7, 2016 - By 

    I like to have lots of games, books and crafts on hand during the summer holidays to keep my children occupied. We’ve only recently started playing board games together but the children love them. They are great for having family time and we’ve found after dinner is the perfect time for us all to sit down and have some fun. We were recently sent a new board game to try out called Who Tooted?. The Who Tooted? game is cheeky and irreverent fun that’s perfect for encouraging kids to have a little family time. Let’s face it, we all do…

    The Grossery Gang Yucky Mart Playset

    August 5, 2016 - By 

    If your children love small collectible toys as much as mine then you may be interested to hear about a new range from Flair. We were recently sent The Grossery Gang Yucky Mart Playset and 4 x Foil Bags to review. The Grossery Gang are the new gross collectable for boys (and girls). My 4 year old loves her Shopkins and these are similar but gross, my 6 year old found them very appealing as he seems to be going through a stage where he loves anything a bit silly or dirty! Both my children love pocket money priced toys…
