WOW Toys Activity Table

WOW Toys Activity Table Review

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

Finding Erin smaller toys to play with is really easy. Smaller toys can hold her attention for roughly 30-45 minutes maximum but a lot of them won’t last more than a couple of months at best. Erin is now at an age where how she plays can change quite quickly but it’s important to also find toys that she can grow up with as well. Recently we have been playing with the WOW Toys Activity Table and here’s what we thought. The activity doesn’t come assembled but it does only come in 5 pieces and a bag of fixings. John

Imaginative Play With Wicked Uncle

Imaginative Play With Wicked Uncle

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

Although Erin goes to nursery for 3 days a week we still have 4 days together at home. Since starting nursery back in January the way that Erin likes to play has changed. Her imagination is fantastic and she really loves to be creative. At the same time, she likes to learn something new so I’m always on the look out for new and exciting things for her to play with. Feeling uninspired by the regular places I shop at, I decided to give Wicked Uncle a try. Wicked Uncle is a bit different to other toy shops because of

WOW Toys Pippa's Princess Carriage Review

WOW Toys Pippa’s Princess Carriage Review

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

When it comes to toys Erin really loves playsets that come with little figures. She has a fantastic imagination and can spend hours getting the people to do different things and I love to watch her play. While she got a few sets for Christmas, I like to rotate her toys so she doesn’t get bored of them quickly. Recently we were sent the WOW Toys Pippa’s Princess Carriage for Erin to try! The set includes horse, carriage and two figures and costs £22.99. Pippa’s Princess Carriage is suitable for children aged 1 ½ – 5 years. Pippa’s Princess Carriage is a

WOW Toys Adventure Playmat Review

WOW Toys Adventure Playmat Review

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

Now that Erin is at nursery 3 days a week I am finding that she plays quite differently than she used to. I love how going to nursery has made Erin so much more imaginative and creative but this has also meant having to learn how to play with her in new ways. We were recently sent the WOW Toys Adventure Playmat and I couldn’t wait to show Erin. The playmat is really quite large so you need a decent sized clear space for it. Luckily though, the WOW Toys Adventure Playmat comes rolled up in a plastic case. Children’s toys can

VTech Little Love Baby Talk Review

VTech Little Love Baby Talk Review

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

For quite some time Erin was the least girly girl. I made a choice to not dress her in pink very often and she doesn’t really wear dresses much either. Erin is also a bit of a bulldozer of a toddler too and not at all delicate. However, just before Christmas Erin started to show an interest in dolls. When VTech offered to send Erin the Little Love Baby Talk of course we said yes! I couldn’t wait to see her reaction to it. The Little Love Baby Talk doll is aimed at children from age 2 and has a RRP

Snuggletime Winnie the Pooh Plush Range Review

Snuggletime Winnie The Pooh Plush Range Review

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

It’s only been recently that Erin has really gotten into soft toys. I think this is probably because we didn’t have too many for her as a baby so she never really had them around. However, over the past couple of months she’s really shown a lot of interest in soft toys and tends to have a couple she likes more than others. We were recently sent a couple of items from the Snuggletime Winnie the Pooh plush range for Erin and they are gorgeous! There are three characters available in the Snuggletime Winnie the Pooh Plush Range and they are

Peppa Pig 'My Floor Puzzle' Review

Peppa Pig ‘My Floor Puzzle’ Review

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

Erin is a huge Peppa Pig fan and snorts like a pig as soon as it comes on television or she sees something with Peppa on it. Up until recently, Erin has never really done puzzles before. We have had plenty of shape sorters but nothing like a puzzle. To get Erin started we thought the Peppa Pig ‘My First Floor Puzzle’ from Ravensburger would be good. The puzzle costs around £10 and is suitable for children aged 2+. Being a puzzle for very young children there are only 16 pieces. I think that this is a really nice amount

The Post Christmas Toy Cull

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

In any normal family with children you know that you’re going to end up with way more toys than you have room for. We’re lucky to have a fairly nice sized house, not massive by any means but probably bigger than we really need. However, when your child’s birthday is on New Year’s Day, you end up with a crazy amount of toys in a very short space of time. Although I cleared out some before we still needed a post Christmas toy cull! Erin received some wonderful toys as presents this year for both her birthday and Christmas and
