The Adventures of Paddington magazine review

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Paid collaboration When Erin really ends up liking a TV show or cartoon we like to do what we can to extend that into the things she plays with and how she learns. Recently The Adventures of Paddington has been a huge hit and we’ve been watching it every few days. Magazines are a really good way for children to have fun, while learning something new at the same time. The Adventures of Paddington Magazine is instantly recognisable with Paddington right there on the front cover. Erin was excited as soon as she saw him and couldn’t wait

AD | PR products The weather seems to finally be changing and we have warmer and lighter days ahead of us. We love to get outside in the back garden and sometimes we can be out there for hours.

Dantoy baking set review

AD | Post contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) This past Christmas we replaced Erin’s plastic toy kitchen with a lovely wooden one from IKEA and it has been the most played with toy since then. Additional accessories really help the longevity of a toy like this and I knew she would love the Dantoy baking set.* This set comes with 12 fantastic pieces including a bowl, whisk, rolling pin and various cookie cutters. The colours of the pieces are quite subdued compared with some other children’s toys but that’s not something either me or Erin mind.

Towards the end of 2020 Erin discovered Pokémon and ever since then she’s been a bit obsessed.

While we bought her a few sets of figures, my sister got Erin the Pokémon Carry Case Playset* Ash, main character from the Pokémon television series, has a pretty iconic green backpack and that is what the Pokémon Carry Case Playset is based on.
