A very family Christmas

We were a bit quiet on the blog over Christmas and New Year as I had a break from blogging to spend lots of time with the Little Ones and my husband as we were lucky that we all had two weeks or thereabouts off work/school. So what did we get up to over the Christmas break...

Little 3 reviews the new BRIO battery operated action train

Rarely a day goes by at the moment when Little 3 isn't playing with something that has wheels. The current favoured toys are his trains, there is a track snaking its way around the Christmas tree and all sorts of vehicles are dispersed around the track as he plays out his imaginary scenarios.

Plus Plus- the building toy we are all playing with, even the grown ups

How much building fun can you have with a pile of little plastic pieces? Well, the answer is hours and hours. We have been reviewing a new construction toy in our house called Plus Plus and it has all 5 of us busy making, creating, designing, imagining and building. Even after the children have gone to bed Daddy and I are still playing with it and it is actually quite therapeutic.

Herodrive - the toy car for your little superhero

Calling all little Superheroes..... there is an emergency, there is a fire at the hospital, a bad guy on the train and on particularly imaginative days, a dragon on the water tower! We have been reviewing the new Herodrive collection and if you know a little one who loves vehicles or DC super friends then we think they will just love these.

Playfoam Pals- a combination of sensory and collectible fun

Is it just my three that love sensory play? They love to get their hands on all things tactile at the moment and spend quite a lot of time moulding creating and building on any given day. Another big thing in our house at the moment is collectibles, especially with the girls so imagine their delight when they received these Playfoam pals to review.

The sound of laughter is echoing around the walls, there is squealing and giggling as well as the odd groan of disappointment, there is a large colourful bug jumping up and down on the dining room table and the Little Ones are all playing together happily.

Family fun with Penguin Pile Up

The weather has turned cooler and the nights are drawing in, all of a sudden we are spending more time indoors and the little Ones are digging out their games after school instead of playing in the garden or on the trampoline. The newest hit game in our house is Penguin pile up.
