    Sylvanian Families Maple Cat Family

    May 10, 2018 - By

This exciting urban destination lets the characters visit on a special ‘day out’. It’s also where the ‘older sister’ characters work – doing their dream jobs.

    Bloopies underwater friends review

    May 7, 2018 - By 

    I have two water babies and am always on the lookout for toys they can play with in the bath. They still love bath time just as much as they did when they were babies. It’s also a great way to unwind after a busy day or weekend. This weekend we’ve been visiting my mum and I took something special for the children to play with. Have you heard of Bloopies? They are the ultimate underwater friends! The dolls squirt water out of their mouth and snorkel when you press their tummy, and they will blow bubbles too!
