We were sent a Lullaby Iggle Piggle, one of the new toys from the In The Night Garden collection by Golden Bear Toys and also a Talking Upsy Daisy – aren’t we lucky! It couldn’t have come at a better time actually because Jimmy is totally into the show right now. I’m not sure if it was taking him to see the live version or if he’s just reached that age but he is a PROPER In The Night Garden fan now!
I’m so pleased because Florence loved it too and in fact, although she’s not desperate to watch it on television herself these days, with more mature children’s viewing having caught her attention, she is still very happy to sit and watch with her brother and when the toys came out… Well! Her brother barely got a look in!
Iggle Piggle came out first because he’s definitely Jimmy’s favourite. We could see what he did from the box where we could try him out by pressing his hand and hearing the various tunes from the show being played as well as lighting up his cheeks which glow with different colours fading into one another. What we couldn’t see so well before getting him out and really playing with him is that he moves as the music plays! His head goes from side to side and his whole body does a little dance! This pleased the children no end, especially Florence would you believe who has adopted him into her baby doll collection (whenever she can wrestle him off her brother)!
He’s very soothing and soft to cuddle which is also appealing and because they know Iggle Piggle and love him already, he’s a great addition to our collection of toys. I had no idea he would be such a hit when I received him through the post but both my children are having so much fun playing with him!
Upsy Daisy has always been a favourite of Florence’s and she had her own Upsy Daisy when she was tiny who is still loved and played with today. But… Florence’s Upsy Daisy doesn’t talk and the new one absolutely does! She says some of Upsy’s favourite phrases as well as playing jingly bells and even Derek Jacobi’s voice plays a ‘Hello Upsy Daisy’ when you press her hand!
Just as with the Lullaby Iggle Piggle, the button is very easy to press down and a baby younger than Jimmy would certainly manage it! Again with Talking Upsy Daisy, who is smaller than the Lullaby Iggle Piggle, she’s been a massive hit with both of mine! Jimmy cuddles her and gets very excited when she talks! You can’t go wrong with In The Night Garden toys and these ones are delightful!
I have not been paid to write this post but I was sent the In The Night garden toys mentioned for the purpose of review.
