We’ve been sent two lovely Peppa Pig Electronic Learning toys to review - from Trends UK. Both are toys designed for helping younger children with their listening skills and offer a good introduction to letters and phonics - they toys are bright, fun and with educational purpose; a great combination of Peppa Pig and early learning.

Summer loves her Schleich collection, and she absolutely love this Adventure Treehouse! She was very lucky to be sent it to review, and she was very excited to receive it.

Summer assembled it pretty much by herself, I only had to help a little. She followed the very clear visual instruction booklet step by step and once she had fully assembled, she then proceeded to play and enjoy it.

Our two Beagles, Kiwi and Poppy are a bundle of love, mischief and fun - they are our little girls and as proud beagle parents we want the best for them. They are fussy when it comes to their food (not our food, they eat anything we are eating, just their dog food they are fussy about) - they know what they like and don’t like when it comes to their dog food.

We received the Schleich Hannah’s Guest Horses with Ruby The Dog for review. This set is the perfect addition to Summer’s evergrowing Schleich Horses collection she has.

The Hannah’s Guest Horses with Ruby the Dog set has to be put together (you have to build the paddock and dog house), there are instructions included and I found I was able to put the parts together very easily. When it was up, it look fab.

Summer’s learning all about dinosaurs at school as there themed topic, and she loves coming home to tell me what she learnt, her favourite part is talking about Mary Anning, the English lady who found fossils, as Summer loves to tell me: “she is one of the greatest fossils hunters on earth and she lived like a thousand years ago”. Although, yes Mary Anning is one of the greatest fossil hunters, she didn’t live a thousand years ago…

Summer was pretty excited to be reviewing Teenie Tiny Toes dolls. She’d seen them online, and loves toys that offer an interactive and fun experience/play time, thus, she couldn’t wait to get them out of the box to play with.

These Teenie Tiny Toes dolls measure a tiny 11cm from head to toe, perfectly fitting in the palm of little hands.

We were sent a 12 pack of Fabric Paint Sticks, and a 24 pack of Paint Sticks.

Fabric Paint Sticks

If you child is a budding fashion designer like my Summer, then they are going to love the Little Brian Fabric Paint Sticks set. The set includes 12 vibrant colours of fabric paint sticks and are virtually mess free.

Oregon Scientific Smart Globe Myth

The Oregon Scientific Smart Globe Myth is a globe with an interactive base. It features 12 constellation stories, 10 fairy tales, and a whooping 69 Earth facts! It also features nights mode, where you press a button and the globe turns into the nights sky displaying the constellations and stars, it simply looks stunning.

We were sent the BABY born RC Scooter and helmet both to review. These are a great addition to Summer’s ever growing collection of BABY born accessories, and she loves to spend hours playing with them, interacting with them, learning from them through play. Summer is really into her dolls at the moment, and I knew she would love the RC Scooter for her BABY Born Sister doll.

What is Moonlite?

Moonlite is a storybook projector for your smartphone that utilises your phones light to project beautiful story images onto the wall.

We received the gift pack, which includes the projector, an activation code used to enter in the Moonlite app and 5 story reels: Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Goldilocks, The Ugly Duckling and Sago mini on Vacation.

Zoomer Hungry Bunnies

Zoomer Hungry Bunnies is a interactive robot bunny with fluffy ears and tail which wiggles, that also eats paper and poops it out! His eyes light-up and his arms move; he also makes lots of noises and chomps when eating his paper food.

Disney Junior's Vampirina celebrates friendship and difference. The series follows the story of a young vampire named Vampirina Hauntley who’s recently moved with her family from Transylvania to Pennsylvania to run the Scare B&B, a guest house for monsters.

Summer was a very lucky girl to be sent a bundle of some amazing PJ Masks toys to try out.

The box was huge when it arrived, and to say Summer was a lil’ excited is an understatement. A PJ Mask fan, she was over the moon and a tad bit excited. We were sent this bundle of toys in preparation for the PJ Masks Super Moon Twitter party! Yay, we love Twitter parties, if you have not joined in one in the past, then you must - lots of fun and lots of toys to win.

Summer loves role play, thus, she especially loves playing with her different Casdon toys. From her cleaning trolley, to her mini Dyson, to her Self-service supermarket - Summer spends hours playing with her Casdon toys.

We were recently sent both the Casdon Chip 'n' Pin Till and Casdon Shopping Basket for review.

Zuru X-Shot Bug Attack Review

Jacob’s passion is his toy guns, and he has many. He’s collected his toy guns over the years and loves playing with them, and practising on different targets etc,. So when we were invited to review the different Zuru X-Shot Bug Attack guns I knew Jacob would be really excited to give them a try.

Summer has an array of Schleich toys, but these are her first from the new horses and riders range - she has fallen in love with them. She can't stop playing with them, and takes her horses with her everywhere.

All the horses each come with a rider, a rubber saddle, bridle and reins, all of which are fitted to the horse - the saddles are colour co-ordinated with their rider.

We’ve been extremely lucky to have been sent both the Oonies starter pack and a bunch of Orbeez to review. Both of which, the kids absolutely loved and had tons of fun with.

You can see both reviews below.

This cute Dyson cord-free vacuum is a replica of the life size Dyson Vacuum. It’s true to life design adds to the Childs imagination. It really looks like the real thing, but smaller, perfect size for little ones.

Summer adores role play and loves getting involved with helping me to clean the house, thus, I just knew she would love the Dyson cord-free vacuum from Casdon, and she does!

The kids were back at school last week, and have already settled in to their new classes and lessons - and doing very well. Both Summer and Jacob absolutely love school, although they loved the summer holidays, they were super pleased to be back at school! Lewis, starts year-11, his final year, his GCSEs. Liam isn’t returning to college, he will continue to work his part-time job until he joins the army.
