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…

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…

A couple of weeks ago my 3 year old reviewed the Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Bag playset, which ties in with the new Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Clinic episodes. Doc has expanded her practice and now looks after pet friends too. We were excited to be sent the new Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Find and Fetch Findo to share with you. Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Find & Fetch Findo Findo is Doc’s cute animatronic toy dog from the TV show. The playset included an interactive Findo, lead, bone and hairbrush. First you need to insert 2 x AAA which are…

With two children who both love toys you can imagine that space is at a premium in our house. That’s why I’m a fan of Thomas & Friends Take-n-Play sets. They always fold up so they can be stored easily when not in use. My son has always loved a toy train set and we have a few different sets – a wooden railway, Thomas & Friends Take-n-Play and Thomas & Friends Trackmaster. For a little boy who enjoys building, vehicles and construction toys he was happy to be sent the new Thomas & Friends Take-n-Play Daring Dragon Drop Playset…

We were pretty excited to receive a Playmobil delivery recently. You may remember we’re a #PLAYMOBILPlayologist family and were sent two lovely new toys to review. Over the last few years my son has reviewed the Playmobil Police Truck and Speed Boat and the Playmobil Great Asian Castle. This year was Little Sis’ turn and she was delighted to open the Playmobil Sunshine Preschool – perfect as she is starting a new nursery in a couple of weeks. Playmobil toys do not come ready to play straight out of the box so it took me a while to build the…

You know we love crafting with Aquabeads so we were quite excited to see an Aquabeads Sylvanian Families set when we were in Hamleys toy shop last week. I know my children have plenty of toys but I couldn’t resist buying this set. My 3 year old really enjoys crafting with Aquabeads which surprised me as I thought she would find them too small. However, she’s really good at finding the correct colour and placing it in the right place and I knew she would love this set. Aquabeads Sylvanian Families The Aquabeads Sylvanian Families set is a refill set so…
