With the summer holidays looming it’s always good to have some activities up your sleeve for a rainy day. For us one of the things we go back to time and time again are fossil dig kits. They are simple and easy to use and happily keep L occupied for quite a while depending on the size. We’ve recently tried the Dig & Display Fossil Kit from Learning Resources and its one of the best we have had!

We’re always up for trying new games at home. Especially ones that get us outside. HydroClash Target is all about making water fights seriously fun and without having to worry about filling, clearing away and the environmental impact of a million water balloons.

JUNKO – The Perfect Boredom Buster
Mummy I’m bored. Says the child surrounded by toys and distractions. How many times do you hear this? Especially over the summer holidays! I’m always on the lookout for different activities that I can have on hand for these moments, over the half term we tested out a couple of the sets on offer from Planet JUNKO and we are both super impressed. To explain briefly you are taking junk modelling to extremes and really notching those creations up a gear.

Win a JD Bug Scooter
With the summer holidays fast approaching what better time to start thinking about entertaining the kids and keeping them active and happy. We’ve found that having a scooter for L makes the walks last longer and contain for less complaints, so I’ve teamed up with Skates.co.uk to giveaway a kids JD Bug Scooter, perfect for kids on the go.

Win a Melissa & Doug Spring Cleaning Bundle
Need a hand keeping the house in shape? Well why not get the kids involved, or at least keep them busy playing so you can whip round with the vacuum! It seems to be a constant battle in our house to keep on top of things, I’ll clean and then turn my back and it’s back to how it was.

Juggleezz
It’s a ball but it’s not a ball. It’s solid but it’s soft. You can throw it, roll it, squish it and stretch it. Juggleezz is a lot of things but mostly it’s just very good fun.

New FGTeeV Toys – Review
Have you watched the guys from FGTeeV on YouTube? I’ve caught snippets here and there because L loves them.
Well now they’ve launched season two of their toy range and we’ve been sent a selection to have a look at. L was delighted, not only because he’s watched them on his tablet but also because the range include blind bags and he does love a blind bag.
Pokémon Carry Case Playset
Last week we received the Pokémon Carry Case Playset to review. L loves Pikachu and know sof Pokémon, but has never watched the cartoons on TV or played the games. It’s more just something he’s picked up on school, but I thought this great set could change things.
Back to School Help from Learning Resources
Well that’s it, he’s back to school. Today is the end of his first week and we have had a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Tears, anxiety, worry, excitement, joy. I won’t say it’s been great to have him back in school, but it hasn’t been bad either. Just another change to get used to. Overall it’s been tough but manageable.
Playmobil Dinos – Review
We are so lucky to have been sent some of the Playmobil Dinos sets to review and it was fair to say from the moment they arrived L was rather excited, but due to some less than desirable behaviour he had to wait a little while until he could open them. Not great for me as I like to crack on with reviews but sometimes you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do as a parent.
