We love BRIO in this house. L has an extensive wooden train set which mixes BRIO and other brands together and one of his favourite items is his BRIO police station, so when we got offered the chance to review the BRIO Cargo Helicopter I just knew he would love it.
I hope the Easter Holidays are treating you all well. If the weather has had you cooped up inside you might be looking for something different to keep little hands busy. Rubik’s Junior have launched a great range of animal puzzles that may just give you a moment of peace.
We have been playing with these fun puzzles at home and they have proved a big hit. There are four animals in the range. A cat, dog, bunny and a bear. The bright colours and tactile shapes immediately appealed to L. He was twisting and turning them before I even had chance to explain what to do. Continue reading Rubik’s Junior Animal Range – Review and Competition
L loves Paw Patrol. Flippin’ loves it. Personally I’m not the biggest fan, I think I take it too seriously. Why can the dogs speak but not the cat? Why are the adults all so inept? Where are Ryder’s parents? But I digress, L loves it and I love puzzles so the latest Paw Patrol Puzzle from Ravensburger was always going to be a hit.Â
CheekiMees are cute, noisy and very cheeky collectable characters that fit in your hand and talk to each other. To celebrate their arrival L was asked to show his best cheeky poses over on Instagram, but I thought I’d write a bit about them as well, it is what I do after all!

I remember when Pokemon first hit our shores, I was in high school and everyone loved it. From the people playing the computer game to those who liked the cartoon and the loveable characters. Continue reading Pokemon – Not Just for Christmas
A little while back L received some unexpected post. A parcel with his favourite label on the outside, a JCB label. It wasn’t anything I was expecting and had no idea what could be inside so when L opened it up to find a perfect 1:32 Scale Model of a JCB Hydradig he was ecstatic. Continue reading JCB Hydradig 1:32 Diecast Review
Like most children of his age L is a big fan of the Gruffalo. In fact it’s not just him, we’re a family of Gruffalo admirers. It’s one of my favourite books to read to him. So when we were asked to try out Magic Light Pictures ‘The Gruffalo Spotter’ app, we straight away said yes. I’m always up for a bit of Gruffalo Spotting.
A little while back L was sent a Magic Tracks starter set to review and he loved it! Easy to use, set up and put away in minutes, bright colours, flexible track and it glows in the dark. What’s not to love? Well if you fancy trying it I’ve got a Magic Tracks Starter Set and Tunnel Accessory Pack to giveaway.
I hope some of you managed to join us for the #SuperWingsSummer Twitter party yesterday. It was a lot of fun. We have really enjoyed our summer playing with Jett and the rest of his Super Wings Friends.
I have a confession to make. I enjoy Hey Duggee more than L. Sorry, I’ve said it. It’s true. Whilst he enjoys the show I often have to force him to watch it. I like Hey Duggee on Facebook, not for the parenting or crafting tips, but for the GIFs and show updates.
