I’ve said it before but I still don’t get it really? Florence loves Tree Fu Tom! It’s not that I am not keen on it myself, far from it, I love the theme tune and find the programme quite entertaining for even an adult but Florence is such a girlie girl that usually she is only interested in princess and sparkle adventures.

I’m not knocking it, I think it’s great! It’s just I would never pick it out as a programme that would be her thing! I guess the makers just really know how to tap into children no matter if they are a girl or a boy and that must be the key surely!

Florence has a Tree Fu Tom toy, I wrote about it here and she loves playing with it, as does her baby brother!

We were recently sent some more ‘Tom’ goodies and they’ve gone down just as well as the programme and the toy!

First up we were sent a copy of the new monthly magazine published by Immediate Media. With stickers, colouring, stories and games it’s just up Florence’s street and of course with a free toy on the front she was even more delighted! At £2.99 I’d say it’s about on par with all the other children’s magazines and is quite thick and full of content. The BBC magazines often are. There are lots of activities for both her to do on her own and for us to sit and do together. We like a magazine but some are full of nothing, not so here!

We were also sent the DVD Time For Tree Fu which is out now and available at Amazon, Asda, Sainsbury’s and other retailers. The DVD has six episodes from the CBeebies show and comes with a bonus action figure which is fun. We certainly enjoy the show and it’s good to have some favourite episodes at hand for whenever we fancy a watch. With 2 hours of running time it’s fab for a rainy afternoon!  Because of the packaging and action figure it would make a brilliant present for any little ‘Tom’ fan!

There are lots of Tree Fu Tom gift ideas actually including very small stocking fillers like the carry along colouring pad that we were sent from Alligator! If you have a Tree Fu Tom fan like we do then you won’t be lost for presents this Christmas!

I was not paid to write this post but I was sent the products mentioned for the purpose of review.
