January 6, 2020January 11, 2020 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) Erin is so creative and she really enjoys playing with anything like arts and crafts or things like Play-Doh. Something we hadn’t tried yet was Foam Alive, something that is supposed to never dry out!

January 4, 2020January 11, 2020 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) I’ll be honest and admit that I don’t often buy Erin the ‘girliest’ of toys. However, Erin loves anything pink, cute and sparkly so I knew immediately that Twisty Petz would be her kind of thing. We were recently sent some items from the new Twisty Petz series 3* for Erin to play with! First up we opened the Twisty Petz plush*. There are various characters to collect but Erin was sent Cuddlez the unicorn. Of course, as soon as Erin saw Cuddlez she was so excited to see

December 11, 2019January 11, 2020 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Contains gifted items I remember the first time Erin discovered collectable toys; it was probably around 2 years ago now. She loved the idea of playing with toys where she could add to the collection over time, letting her change how she played as well. Now, turning 4 in just a few weeks, Erin still loves the same kinds of toys. She was recently sent a few different MojiPops sets and blind bags to play with! If you haven’t heard of MojiPops before then they are collectable toys, with play sets to go with them! The characters have changeable

AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links Erin is a really creative child and she really likes anything to do with arts and crafts. I’m really not the most creative of people though and I sometimes struggle to think of things to do when we have time at home together. Zimpli Kids sent us a lovely package, including their Chocolate Emoji Maker and Gelli Baff to try out. Last weekend we didn’t have many plans and that meant staying home on the Saturday. We decided to try the Chocolate Emoji Maker in the morning and we had so much fun together

Preparing For A Party With PoundToy

November 19, 2019November 12, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | We received a voucher to spend on PoundToy for the purpose of this post. With Erin’s birthday being just a week after Christmas there is a lot going on in a really short space of time. I always try to get things organised early but honestly, party planning really isn’t my thing. Erin hasn’t had a birthday party since her first and I don’t really know what I’m doing. Having booked the venue a while ago, the next biggest thing to think about was party games and prizes for the games. A website I had heard really great

I think a lot of it goes back to when we did classes like Baby Sensory and Baby Yoga when she was only tiny. Having that early introduction to musical instruments stuck with Erin and now, at 3, she still loves to play with them. We were recently sent the Halilit Toddler Music Orchestra Musical Instrument set and Erin couldn’t have been more excited! The Halilit Toddler Music Orchestra Musical Instrument set comes in a really lovely box with a carry handle
