Review: Tonka Town Fire Station Play Set

by

I know the name Tonka to be toys that are durable, so when I was approached to review the Tonka Fire Station Play set, I was quite happy. Needless to say, when it arrived, the happiest were the children. Ethan loves to play with fire engines and a fire station play set is something that he has been after f or some time now. The play set comes with the fire station, a fire truck, 2 firemen and 2 ladders that can be fixed onto the fire station. The fire station is sturdy and since it is in red (like …

I don’t know about you – but ever so often when I see an advertisement for a toy that looks really nice, I wish my children had one. Now obviously, I also make a mental note to myself to put it down on the birthday list or the Christmas list but sometimes…just sometimes, I don’t really want to wait that long to get it for them (or for myself as the case may be) Well, this is one of them.

Harumika Designer Dress Form Set Review

by

A short while age I reviewed a Harumika set with Jadyn. In fact, we liked it so much that when we were sent another one, we were quite happy. This was the Designer Dress Form Set. Jadyn and the other two little ones can spend a good amount of time playing with this set. There is so much one can do with the set and I find it really creative. We have designing competitions and I have to confess that I am sometimes carried away and turn out some really nifty designs! It is really easy to use this set …

Review – Omnitrix Shuffle and Humungousaur

by

My son is crazy about Ben 10. To have a Ben 10 Omnitrix arrive for review, sent him over the moon. He could now turn himself into Humungousaur, Big Chill and any number of aliens. Yes, the peace was disrupted with the alien fighting the baddies but to see his face light up when he shows it off to people who come over ( or on the road), well, we put up with it. So what is an Omnitrix ? It is a device that Ben 10 wears on his hand and with flick of a button, he turns himself …

Review – Harumika Dress Set

by

  I love toys that have an educational value or inspire children to get creative and most toys nowadays fit into one of these categories. For little girls who are 6 going on 16, it is sometimes difficult to get the perfect gift. They are too old for dolls and too young for make-up. But no girl is ever too young (or too old) for clothes. My little 2 year old knows exactly what she likes to wear. As well as loving to shop for clothes, I think most of us have within us the secret desire to design our …
