The weather has taken a turn for the worse so I’m really grateful we have been sent some lovely toys and games to review. Today I’m going to share the new Disney Frozen Aquabeads Playset. This is a fun set that lets you create your favourite Frozen characters including Elsa, Anna, and Olaf. Aquabeads are really fun and something my 4 and 6 year old love to play with. Simply select a design template, place the layout tray over the template and create your design. When you’ve finished, spray with water and the beads will magically stick together. This set…

My two children love to craft. We’ve made a few things with air drying clay and the children were keen to try more.

Both my children love craft activities and small, collectible toys so they really wanted to try this playset. I was a little apprehensive but it’s aimed at 5+ so I knew they could have a good go at it. With…

When I was little my toy of choice was the My Little Pony range. Over a couple of years I built up a great collection of ponies, accessories and playsets. I played with them a lot but every evening they went back in their boxes, safely tucked away for another day. Unfortunately they were given to my nieces when I left home so I wasn’t able to pass them on to my own daughter. I’m sure you’ve noticed that My Little Pony have had a pretty large makeover in the intervening years so I doubt my daughter would recognise my…
