I really enjoyed putting together a Christmas Eve basket for my children so I thought I would do something similar for Easter. I know it’s still a few weeks away but with half term coming up I need to make a head start on my preparations. Little Live Pets Surprise Chick Recently we’ve been reviewing the Little Live Pets Hatching Chick. My 6 year old son has become quite attached to it as it’s really realistic. Hear the surprise chick tapping and chirping inside the egg and then watch in amazement as it hatches out and hops about! It’s really…

My 6 year old has been playing Minecraft for quite a long time now. He is a bit of an expert and his 5 year old sister enjoys playing too, although she’s not allowed in his world unless he’s watching! Last Christmas everything was about Minecraft. He received Minecraft clothing, books and toys which have been played with over and over again. It seems kind of funny that you can buy Minecraft toys when it’s a computer game but my son already has a collection of Minecraft figures and accessories. A new Minecraft Figure Collection from Character Options has recently…

We are so excited to go and see the new stellar-studded animation film Trolls from DreamWorks. The trailers look fun, my daughter insisted I buy her the Trolls sticker album so she is familiar with the characters, and we’re hoping to go tomorrow as a half term treat. A few weeks ago we had fun reviewing the Poppy Style Station and were delighted to be offered the new Trolls Hug Time Bracelet and Poppy Wig to review. These are part of a range of hair play and dress up toys based on the hairy characters, from Just Play. How To Be…

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Poppy Styling Station which means my 4 year old has been ‘experimenting’ with hair styles. She’s a bit of a tomboy so I was hoping she would enjoy the Disney Princess Ariel Styling Head from Just Play. My kids love bath time. Any excuse to play in or with water is their perfect activity. They also love any toys which they can take in the bath and extend their time in it. Disney Princess Ariel Styling Head Every little girl knows Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid film. Based on the Danish fairy…

I’m almost scared to use the “C” work but I must admit to starting my Christmas planning in August. With two demanding children with significant wishlists and numerous friends and family I like to start my planning and shopping early. Argos published its Christmas top gift list a few weeks ago which included Snuggles My Dream Puppy from the Little Live Pets Range. I was lucky enough to see this toy at the Argos Christmas preview in July so I was really happy to be offered one to review with my 4 year old daughter. My little girl loves her…
