Mind The Gap – Board Game Review

November 10, 2020November 7, 2020 by Jes

With the children being on devices for long periods of the day due to online learning, we have been trying hard to get them involved in activities that don’t involve screens. We ‘try’ not to go on devices after dinner and most often play some board game or the other. One of the most recent games that we tried is Mind The Gap. For all my British friends, this would be a familiar saying especially if you’ve travelled in the underground in London. But, it has nothing to do with that. Mind The Gap is a game about the …

Avengers Age of Ultron XXL Jigsaw from Ravensburger: Review

April 20, 2015April 17, 2015 by Jes

I always encourage learning through play. Jigsaws are a strong favourite here as I quite like doing them myself. I think with Jadyn I did a lot more of these but with Ethan, I kind of overlooked this and I though a little late, I want to encourage him to attempt more of these. I was sent a Avengers Age of Ultron 100 piece jigsaw from Ravensburger and I knew that this would be of interest to him as he loves the Marvel superheroes. The puzzle is of a great quality as one associates with Ravensburger. I thought that it …

Weebledown Farm, Mill and Barn Review

January 16, 2015 by Jes

The children have been singing ‘Weeble wobble but we don’t fall down’ over the Christmas season and I have to admit that it is something that sticks in your brain. They were very excited to get the Weebledown Farm Mill and Barn to review. Now, they may seem a little old for this but when added to a farm set (no one is too old for a farm set), it’s perfect. The Farm comes with an exclusive Rusty the rooster Weeble which is quite adorable. The mill actually spins and all you need do is push down the milk churn. …

First Impressions – Cayla, a Girl’s Best Friend

October 21, 2014September 1, 2014 by Jes

I have written about Cayla before but this time its all about a tea party and Cayla joining our household. A short while ago, I took the two girls to a tea party at Hamleys to meet Cayla. I had met her with Aeryn but Jadyn hadn’t so she was really looking forward to meeting the doll that I had spoken so much about. We had our own name tags ready and the room at Hamleys was set up for a party befitting all the little princesses attending. We were introduced to Cayla and her features and then the party …

Kidipet – The Virtual Pet for your Child

April 11, 2014April 10, 2014 by Jes

Every so often there is a toy that we get to review that intrigues me more than it probably does the children. The Kidipet is one of them. We had seen advertisements of telly and it looked like fun. On receiving it, it was even more fun to play with. Kidipet is brought to you by VTech and everyone knows that VTech is synonymous with a wonderful range of children’s interactive and learning toys. The Kidipet is one such toy. Kidipet gives a child the responsibility of owning a virtual pet – feeding it, taking it for a walk, cleaning …

Review: Olly the Little White Van books

March 12, 2014March 10, 2014 by Jes

I tried Grammarly’s online plagiarism checker free of charge because copycats do not get enough exercise for their brains. I am an avid book lover and never say no to reviewing books, more so if it’s for the children as they love books too. We recently wrote about how much we enjoyed the Olly, the Little White Van DVD. This time we were thrilled to get a series of Olly Books. We were sent 4 board books, 2 paperback books and 2 activity books – all related to the popular television series Olly the Little White Van. What we liked about the …

Spaghetti with the Yeti – Review and Giveaway

September 27, 2013 by Jes

Who likes Spaghetti? Well, apparently the Yeti does! And I thought it was just my children who were pasta crazy. In this delightful book by Adam and Charlotte Guillain and Lee Wildish from Egmont, a little boy sets off to find a Yeti and on his journey, he meets several other hilarious monsters. When he finally meets the Yeti, all the Yeti wants is Spaghetti! A lovely book for children – mine have enjoyed it and we read it quite often. My two year old loves looking at the bright illustrations and asking questions. There is lots that can be …
