Last weekend Athena & Arlo received a huge bundle of trolls goodies, which they were super pleased with! They are so into the original trolls movie that we probably watch it at least once a week or so! Now there’s a new way to enjoy the bright haired little creatures in ‘Trolls Holiday’, and I was probably as excited as…
Last week we had a delivery from Be My Bear, and online store who stock a large variety of different bears that can be made at home. The kids had looked on the website to find a bear that they wanted to have as their very own and a few days later a kit arrived containing the bear carcass (for want…
Like most little kids the idea of a remote controlled car is a very exciting one! Arlo has never had a remote control car before, but we did recently get a Scalextric race track which introduced him to remote controlling, but with that the cars stay on the track and there is no aspect of steering involved!

It’s not often that something arrives that we all enjoy playing with, but right from opening the box Sam seemed to love putting the Thomas Super Station together, working out which layouts he wanted to do first, clipping it all together and assembling Sodor before our very eyes!

It’s no secret that Arlo loves anything with cars, wheels, or tracks and when the new My First Scalextric arrived last week he was pretty chuffed! Designed for little racers from three years and up Arlo got the hang of it pretty quickly, though he is a little under the lower-age at 2.5. Athena at four also enjoys playing with…
Shimmer and Shine is one of Athenas favourite programs, so she was pretty excited to see the ‘Shimmer & Shine Magic Flying Carpet box waiting for her after school. She was so excited, and couldn’t wait to get the box open. Thankfully I’d remembered to get some batteries so once I’d popped them in it was ready to go! Shimmer and…
I love to watch Arlo interact with new things, watching kids learn how the world around them works is a privileged and a pleasure. It’s even better when learning about things come as part of a game or toy, as in my experience the moment my kids realise you are trying to actually teach them something they put up a…
This week has been a bit of a whirlwind, we’ve been flitting about here and there, between child minders, work Athena having her first couple of days at school ever by this afternoon we were really ready for a chill out session! Thankfully the lovely folks at Build-a-Bear had sent us a lovely hamper of goodies to enjoy! To help celebrate…
