Cloud B CloudBox Story Telling Night Light Projector Soother! Posie was recently sent the Cloud-B CloudBox Story Telling Night Light and Projector to try out at bed times. It is, as you’d imagine, exactly what it says on the tin in that it does indeed tell stories and project night light images to soothe and lull little ones at bed time. But in fact, it is actually the ONLY story telling box which also has a night light built into […]
Canal Toys’ Photo Creator Kids Instant Camera! Children’s cameras have come on a long way in the last few years and the difference between the ones my older kids played with at the same ages Raffie and Posie are now, is vast, and yet there’s only 5 and a half years between my boys. I’m guessing that was a five and a half years of a LOT of tech development! Raffie and Posie have had some really great, easy to use […]
Really Good Conversations For Kids! I think it’s fair to say that when life is rushed, hectic and mid-term, we often don’t stop to think about the things we are talking about with our children. We move from A to B often times and just getting there is the paramount so while I’m not saying we need prescriptions to enable conversations with our families, sometimes it can be just the invitation needed to stop, ask and listen to each other. […]
Peter Rabbit At Orchard Toys! You know that we’re massive fans of all things Orchard Toys in our house and what’s more, even the big kids will still happily play along with the little ones when these much loved toys and puzzles come out. We’ve a rather extensive collection so we never get bored and we have our favourites of course but we LOVE it when Orchard release new things for us to try for the first time too. They’re […]
Moritoys – My Dream House! Posie loves a boxed game and she is also a mega fan of a puzzle. She loves to rope in her siblings to play with her, but even when no one is available to help she will happily entertain herself for ages playing. Today we’ve been trying out a Moritoys puzzle which also doubles as a bit of a game actually, so right up her street! The Moritoys progressive puzzel “My Dream House” comes with […]
Bitzee – A Superior Interactive Pet! Who remembers when cyber pets came out for the first time? Tamagotchi launched theses new, exciting little toys in the mid nineties when I was about 16 and though I was definitely too old for toys (too cool as well), I couldn’t help but notice them with the rest of the world! Funny then that a couple of years ago they made a resurgence and I was super excited to get some for my […]

This week I’m able to tell you a little more in depth about some of them after we’ve been busy playing at home with a selection so that you can make all the right choices […]
Edurino – Fun Digital Learning For 4 – 8 Year Olds! If you’re looking for an extremely safe way of using digital learning for younger children then the Edurino app is a great place to start. There are no adverts or in app purchase options making it as child friendly as you’d hope for a learning tool aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 8 years old. Edurino has been developed by early years educators and parents and […]
Tonies Box For Christmas! When it comes to the Tonies Box I literally have nothing negative to say. It’s a great price for the item it is, Tonies boxes are built really well to withstand the attention from small children they invite, and they just work perfectly too. A small child like Posie knows exactly how to turn on, turn up, change, rewind or forward her Tonies box stories, and to boot, the individual Tonies that you buy separately (making […]
