    March 20, 2018 - By 

    My children love Minions, so today I’m going to share with you how much fun they had with the Aquabeads Minions Playset.

He pushed the centre of the box which opened to reveal an Exogini playmat, guide to some of the 23 characters as well as a selection of figures. The box doubled as a display unit.
