    Imaginext DC Super Friends Arkham Asylum

    March 2, 2017 - By 

    There is so much excitement about the new The Lego Batman Movie in our house. You may remember we were lucky to attend the premiere a few weeks ago. Both my children love their superheroes so I knew they would love the DC Super Friends Arkham Asylum from Imaginext. Imaginext DC Super Friends Arkham Asylum Little superheroes can re-enact scenes from their favourite DC Super Friends adventures and create exciting new stories of their own. In the Imaginext world…anything is possible. We already had a few Imaginext figures so my children were really excited when I showed them the Arkham…

    Sands Alive Cake Shop review

    February 24, 2017 - By 

    This afternoon my son had a school friend round for a playdate. They love to play Minecraft together which leaves my daughter with no-one to play with. Luckily we were sent the new Sands Alive Cake Shop from John Adams to review. My daughter loves playdough so I knew she would have fun with this modelling sand, plus it would help her fine motor skills – I do love a toy with added benefits! Sands Alive Cake Shop The Sands Alive Cake Shop from John Adams is a new toy from the Sands Alive range. Featuring super-soft, non-toxic sand that sticks together well,…

    Cluedo Junior Board Game from Hasbro Gaming

    February 20, 2017 - By 

    My children love board games at the moment and we are building up quite a collection. The latest game added to our stash is the wonderful Cluedo Junior Board Game from Hasbro Gaming. I remember the adult version of Cluedo so it took me a few attempts to read the rules before I understood this version. Basically you need to solve the mystery of the missing cake to win the game of Cluedo Junior! Who took a piece of the cake before dinner? Can you figure out who took it, when they took it, and what they drank with it?…

    Little Live Pets Surprise Chick

    February 8, 2017 - By 

    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…

    Glimmies fairy dolls review

    January 27, 2017 - By 

    I think I’ve discovered the next cute. collectable toy that my daughter will be spending all her pocket money on – Glimmies. And just what are Glimmies you may well ask. Glimmies are sweet little fairy dolls, each with their own name and bio. Children can go on to collect and create a magical world with the Glimmies. My daughter loves her fairy play so I knew these would be a big hit with her. We were sent a couple of the new Glimmies Single Blister Packs to review.The Blister Packs are larger than a blind bag. There are 12 different…

    Winter fairy garden play

    January 21, 2017 - By 

    We’ve had a run of beautiful but cold days recently. These are my favourite winter days and we’ve all wanted to be outside before coming back in to warm up with a hot chocolate! Over the weekend we spent a bit of time cleaning out our mud kitchen which was looking so sad and neglected. All the pots were full of muddy, frozen water and it needed a good clean up. The children helped clear out the old pinecones and acorns we had collected and sweep away the sand and dust. We left it looking so much cleaner, all ready…

    Playing Minecraft offline {Minecraft Figure Collection}

    January 14, 2017 - By 

    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…
