The toddler is a very lucky boy. He was sent a beautiful wooden Zoomster from KidsToyWorld.co.uk to review. With his love of Formula 1 it is the perfect toy for him – it comes in brilliant racing red, and the multi-directional castors mean he can zoom around the house and stash his snacks beneath the seat!…

Wood vs. plastic
Yesterday I went shopping and I’m not afraid to admit I was also looking for Christmas wrapping paper! The mere thought of having to buy, wrap and deliver all those Christmas presents worries me every year and with the seasonal arrival of Second Baby I am on a mission to be ready earlier than ever….
Bob’s Big Build
On Saturday we were invited as VIP’s to Bob’s Big Build, a special event for little builders at Fixham, otherwise known as the O2. Our VIP tickets included transport to the O2 on the Thames Clipper which we were really excited about as we had never taken a trip on the Thames before. Bob’s Big…
Sand and water play
Edward loves playing with his sand pit and water table. I have hundreds of photographs of him enjoying playing in our garden. Quite often he will go through several changes of clothes a day at my insistence (he couldn’t care less about being sandy or wet!). The lovely people at Bigjigs sent Edward a bucket…

Edward is a simple boy and at 16 months likes playing, eating and sleeping. Fortunately for him BigJigs sent him a farm house shape sorter to play with. This is a lovely wooden toy and Edward knew straight away what to do with it. Two of the slats on the roof come off so the…
Trunki Travel ToyBox
When is a toy box not a toy box? When it’s a trunki travel toybox! We’re big trunki fans since seeing them on Dragons Den in 2006. Edward received a Bernard the Bee suitcase last Christmas which goes everywhere with us so we were delighted when we were offered a trunki travel toybox to review….
Three Little Boats
It’s an understatement to say that Edward loves water. Come rain or shine he’s literally scratching to get out the back door to his water table (best investment ever!). Since he’s had the table he’s experimented with all kinds of kitchen utensils so he can play with the water; from plastic cups to a bucket…
How to make a cork sail boat
Edward is used to boats as we often travel by car ferry or catamaran to visit family on the Isle of Wight. Last week we managed a couple of trips by boat which Edward loved. He really enjoyed holding on to the side of the boat and looking over the side. He’s always loved water…
Any one for tea?
We were offered the chance to review a High Tea Shape Matching Set from John Crane. This is a lovely wooden toy and the first thing we were impressed with was the presentation as each cake sat in its’ own little compartment inside the box. It was simple to put the cake stand together and…
