Jacob loves his Stretch Armstrong, he takes it everywhere with him, even to school. Stretch Armstrong looks just like a wrestler, and Jacob is into wrestling at the moment. He has loads of super Stretchy fun.

The kids love seeing just how far they can stretch him, and they can stretch him pretty far! They tie him in knots and bend him in all sorts of positions.  They have tons of fun and laughter trying to, I don't know what, but probably trying to see how far they can stretch him without breaking him - but he is pretty unbreakable!  After all this crazy pulling about, Stretch Armstrong returns to his original shape - it's pretty good.

Kids Toys Club invited us to review the Lego Architecture London set.

My middle teenage son wants to be an architect - he has his whole education and career path planned out, all with full focus on becoming an architect - I'm really proud of him and I hope his dream will come reality. We went to London last summer and he loved seeing all the buildings. And as we walked along the Thames, it was a proud mummy moment watching him as he absorbed and relished the London architecture. 

I enjoy doing puzzles with the kids.  You sit together and take on the challenge together, but I love watching them as they get encouraged each time they solve a part and the excitement when the puzzle comes together. It's great fun, and of course, puzzles offer many educational skills too.

Sssh, sssh, sssh. I'm Wissper. I can talk to you.

Summer adores Wissper. She watches the animated TV series and was super excited to receive the Wissper & Peggy Doll Set for review.

Wissper is a kind 7-year girl who is able to talk to animals. The animals always go to Wissper for help. She can magically transport herself to anywhere there is an animal in danger by saying the magic word “Sssshhh…” She is very caring of all the animals but she can get cross if they misbehave!

Summer loves Doc McStuffins, she watches the TV series on Disney, and she loves the toys too. We were kindly sent the Accessory Set and the Hospital Role Playset for review. Both are great fun and an excellent to encourage role play.

Bedz R Us kindly sent Jacob and Summer a Christmas Eve Pack. The box was filled with a onesie each, bed socks, packets of reindeer food, some slippers, and a book each - including one from Jacob's favourite series, The Dinosaur that Pooped Christmas.

Snapfish, offer unique and beautifully personalized gifts, perfect for Christmas. They offer gifts ranging from your standard canvas to some pretty fun items, like a photo jigsaw to a photo cushion, keyrings and so much more.  If you are looking for inspiration and ideas, they also have a very handy Gift Finder.

I was given the challenge by Snapfish to order some gifts for the kids - something I knew they would enjoy and appreciate.

Spy and record anywhere with this portable surveillance camera!

Jacob has wanted his own camera to play with for a while now, so he was super excited to receive the Spy Go Action Camera - especially with all the added extras (head strap and clip) as they allow him to be adventurous with his new Action Cam, and he loves it.

My boys love their footballs, we have a lot in the garden. We have that many they have their own garden storage box. A few are very old, deflated and tatty but no matter what state they are in, they still get played with. One game my boys play is to fill the trampoline up with all the footballs, and then get in there with them, kick, bounce, and all sorts.  The boys also spend hours in the garden with each playing football - it's the only 'thing' they really do together, all three of them, playing footie and I love watching them when they do.

Adrienne Attoms is part of the Project Mc2 collection of dolls that involve the S.T.E.A.M. approach to education. (Science. Technology. Engineering. Arts. Math). They are designed to encourage and stimulate interest in science and math.

Over the past year, I've been giving 'grow you own at home' a try and I think everyone should. I love using herbs when cooking and many times I go to the supermarket to buy fresh herbs and they don't have the one I want, thus, I embarked on growing my own - so much more convenient and super easy to do (although, a few of my herbs did die off, but it is a learning process).

Where's Wally has been enjoyed and loved by Adults and Children since the 80s. And, I've been buying Where's Wally books for my boys over the past decade but never seen an activity one until now. 

We've been having lots of Peppa Pig fun this summer holiday.  The kids have loved trying out all the new Peppa Pig goodies.  It's been a great mix, from board games, books, and bedding. You can see Part 1 of our review here.

The Parking Garage Set from Brio is the perfect addition to your BRIO collection. If you have a wooden train set this set will compliment it perfectly. If you don't have a wooden train set this would be a great starter to building your own BRIO wooden toy city.

Summer loves Peppa Pig (what pre-schooler doesn't?!) so when we were invited to become part of the Offical Peppa Pig blogger team, we were super excited.  We were sent a huge box of Peppa Pig products to review, perfect for some school holiday fun. We've been trying them out the past couple of weeks playing and testing out all our new Peppa Pig products.
