I recently received an email about Flair’s Xeno Koopies and I couldn’t resist their cute little faces and I knew my children would love them too. We received an orange one to review and we’ve all been having a lot of fun with it, it’s a little like having a new pet. Xeno Koopies are loveable yet cheeky little monsters who interact and play with you! They have glow in the dark eyes and a very tactile feel. They make over 70 different sounds and have 6 touch interactive sensors on their bodies. They are available in three colours –…

Sylvanian Families are one toy which is always out in our house so I thought it would be fun to make a Halloween play scene for my daughter. Did you see the photo I shared on Twitter last week about the new limited edition Sylvanian Families Halloween Set from Epoch? This spooky set contains an orange and black slide decorated with ghosts and ghoulies, as well as two figurines – Baby Crème Chocolate and little Ambrose Walnut. There are also two little rabbit cuddlies to keep the tots company, as well as matching accessories for them to play with as…

This Thursday I will be taking part in a DocMcStuffins Pet Vet Twitter Party for the new range of toys in the Pet Vet range. Dottie ‘Doc’ McStuffins, is a six year old girl who ‘fixes’ toys, with a little help from her stuffed animal friends, Stuffy, Hallie, Lambie and Chilly. Doc has expanded her practice and now looks after pet friends too! My 3 year old loves Doc and has been watching the new Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Clinic episodes. You may remember we’ve already reviewed a few of the toys such as the Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Find…

Have you noticed how the weather has changed overnight and we’re now in Autumn? We’re adjusting to dark mornings and treading on a carpet of fallen leaves whenever we leave the house. There is plenty to keep us busy though thanks to Super 4 which is a fab new animated CITV series, inspired by PLAYMOBIL! Have you seen it yet? Shaped around popular Playmobil worlds such as Pirates, Fairies, Knights and Top Agents, the series follows the adventures of four new heroes Alex, Gene, Ruby and Twinkle. The brand new toys from the series have just launched and we were…

With a 5 year old interested in computers, gadgets and radio controlled cars I was interested in the Teksta Robotics Scorpion from Character. This is aimed at children aged 5+ and we were sent one to review. Teksta Robotics have produced a wireless motion control interactive toy in the shape of a scorpion. It uses intuitive motion control technology via a module you wear or hold to control the scorpion. His powerful jaws capture the power core. Teksta Robotics Scorpion: the light up eye shows you he’s ready to be under your control the scorpion moves in all directions stop…

My children love the warmer months when they can play outside after school. When Autumn comes we often turn to other pursuits to amuse ourselves. I try to give my children a good balance between reading, crafting and the screen time they so desperately crave 🙂 My 5 year really enjoys discovering new games, especially those featuring his favourite Marvel superheroes. Have you ever visited the Marvel Kids UK website? It features plenty of games, videos and activities which are sure to keep your children occupied. My son loves Marvel favourites Spiderman and The Avengers and I must admit to…

I have a fantastic competition to share today. A couple of months ago we reviewed the Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Bag Playset from Flair. My 3 year old loves to play Doc with her own toys and now she can fix her toy animals too! The Pet Vet Bag Playset contains everything your child needs to give their toy animals a check up, just like Doc does in the new episodes of Doc McStuffins coming soon to Disney Junior. The Pet Vet Bag Playset contains a Vet Bag, a brush, a comb, scissors, otoscope, magnifying glass, tongue depressor, stickers and…

Great British Bake Off is one of my favourite programmes but I have to admit my bakes are usually gingerbread or vintage cake recipes, I’m not really one for creating a show stopper in my spare time. I have two junior bakers who love to help out in the kitchen too. We love to bake biscuits and cakes together and have even tried our hand at pizza and bread too. We were sent three new fun food craft products from the John Adams range so my children could join in the Great British John Adams Bake Off fun at home.…

I’m always keen for my children to have a range of toys. As much as they love their tv or film tie-in toys I also love the fact they have other toys which encourage free play such as Schleich handpainted toy figurines and accessories. We have a collection of mainly animals which are fun for encouraging small world play, learning about animals and simple play where instructions are not necessary. We received a selection of toys from the World of Nature/Wild Life/Ocean range including the Schleich Ocean set (41407), a Blue Whale (14696), Killer whale (14697), Dolphin (14699), Blue shark…
