What the Kids Played with: Schools

18th December 201710th February 2020
learning resources educational toys

Since starting school in September Athena has completely fallen in love with it; there hasn’t been a day yet that she’s not been happy to go, and she practically skips into the classroom as soon as the door opens. She has also pretty much fallen in love with her teacher, which I guess is better… Read More

A #TrollsHoliday Bundle

17th December 201710th February 2020
Trolls Holiday

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… Read More

Be My Bear Kit review

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.Β 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… Read More

Monster Smash Ups Remote Control Toy Truck Review

27th October 201710th February 2020
Monster Smash Ups Truck

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… Read More

Thomas Super Station Review [What the Kids Played with]

23rd October 201710th February 2020
Thomas Super Station Review main-1

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! I then had to remind him that… Read More

Toys: My First Scalextric Review

16th October 201710th February 2020
My First Scalextric review

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… Read More

Shimmer & Shine Magical Flying Carpet review

10th October 201710th February 2020
shimmer and shine magical flying carpet toy review

Shimmer and Shine is one of Athenas favourite programs, so she was pretty excited to see the  β€˜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… Read More

What Arlo played with: Geomag Magicubes

29th September 201710th February 2020
geomag magicubes toy review

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… Read More

My Four Year Olds favourite Netflix series

5th September 20175th September 2017
luna petunia doll

Athena is a bit of a telly addict, I think I only have myself to blame as I relied on the TV to be a bit of a babysitter when her little brother arrived and I had a not quite two year old to entertain during long feeds and naps! As a result she is… Read More
