My Twirlywoos Magazine Review
I always enjoy seeing Summer’s excitement when a new magazine arrives, especially when there is a little gift attached to the front. They want to get it off and have a play before we settle down together to see what is inside.
Summer loved watching Twirlywoos, so when I was invited to review the new Twirlywoos magazine from DC Thomson, I was keen to see what they would make of it.
What Was Inside the Twirlywoos Magazine
The 28 page magazine brought together Great BigHoo, Toodloo, Chickedy and Chick from the CBeebies programme. It was designed for children aged two to four, with the same silly adventures and surprises that Summer enjoyed watching on television.
Each issue was themed around an episode, with stories, colouring pages, games and stickers. I liked having a mixture of things to read and activities we could do together, all featuring characters Summer already knew.
Reading and Playing Together
The magazine was a hit with Summer. We read the stories, played the games and spent time colouring in the pages. The stickers were part of the fun too, with plenty of opportunities for them to get involved as we worked our way through the magazine.
I enjoyed sharing it with them. It gave us something to sit down and explore together, while leaving room for Summer to join in with the activities rather than simply listen to me reading.
My Thoughts on the Magazine
At the time of this review, Twirlywoos magazine was published every four weeks and cost £2.99. Each issue included a gift attached to the cover that linked to the activities inside.
Summer enjoyed our review copy enough that I planned to buy future issues. For me, the familiar characters, stories and activities made it a lovely magazine to share with them.

If you're looking for a simple game that gets the whole family talking, laughing, and occasionally debating some very silly questions, then the Would You Rather Family Edition Game is definitely worth considering.
As a family, we are always on the lookout for games that don't take ages to set up and that everyone can join in with, regardless of age. Between busy family life, health challenges, and trying to find activities that don't involve another screen, this game has become one of those easy go-to options that we can pull out whenever we fancy spending some time together.
