    Fireman Sam My First Notebook from KD UK

    One thing the boys always try to do is to play with my laptop. Every time I leave it, even for just a second, they will jump onto it and tap away, usually posting randomness to Facebook. So I have been on the lookout to find childrens laptops that not only look like the real thing but have a childish flare too. The Fireman Sam My First Notebook looks just like a real laptop as it has the classic fold function, with eight folders on the desktop depicting scenes from all of the rescues taking place in Pontypandy, as well as a full alphanumeric keyboard and working mousepad too.  Thomas…

    Jungle Magic Sounds Aquadoodle

    Aquadoodles primary function is to enable children to have a fun place to draw and release their imagination but that is also mess free.  I’m sure we all know just how easy children can go from drawing in a book to drawing on the walls and making a mess. Aquadoodle combats this as there is no ink in the pen, it is just simply water and so will not leave marks on walls or flooring.  I have always been a fan of Aquadoodle because of this an this new one is no different. The Jungle Magic Sounds Aquadoodle has all the magic of the original Aquadoodle but also makes animal sounds…

    Happy Christmas Gift Bouquet from Bunches.co.uk

    Now usually I would be a bit sceptical about getting flowers delivered through the post. We all know just how much damage can happen sometimes to the boxes and things and so I imagined that flowers would end up a bit battered too.  We were sent the Happy Christmas Gift bouquet to review from Bunches.co.uk which was delivered to us last Friday. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it was a school training day and we wanted to get out for the day, we weren’t in and the flowers got sent back to the postal depot. I went to collect them on Saturday morning but being flowers I thought they would…
