We are no strangers to the Geomag Mechanics range as we have previously reviewed the magnetic race track system. This outstanding gravity magnetic track harnesses the invisible forces of magnetism and gravity to create chain reactions for never-ending surprises.
This coming Father’s Day, why not treat your loved ones to this ultimate gift – Haynes 4 Cylinder Engine with augmented reality features for car enthusiasts and budding petrol heads! You get to build this awesome working engine featuring real engine roars with the authentic Haynes Build Your Own Engine sets.
Last month I reviewed an outstanding interactive magnetic race track system from Geomag and this Magnetics Challenge Goal set is also part of the range! With this set, you can build and launch the cannon by using the force of gravity to create chain reactions for never-ending fun!
Today, I’d like to introduce you to this outstanding interactive magnetic race track system from Geomag! Now you can build awesome tracks with your family and watch it using the force of gravity to create chain reactions for never-ending fun.

This is our last month working as Bandai STEM Ambassadors and we are so pleased that Bandai is giving one of their fantastic dig kits to one of my readers. We have reviewed quite a few kits like the Gemstone & Shark Tooth, Geode, Build Your Own Volcano and Growing Crystal & Sea Monkeys and they have never disappointed me in quality and for the educational benefits.
This month’s review as Bandai STEM Ambassadors is one of my favourite kits and there are five kits to collect: Dino Poop, Fool’s Gold, Gemstone, Shark Tooth and Treasure. These mini dig kits might come in a small package but they have everything you need to learn and to excavate. Also, what I like about these kits is that they provide genuine items and not those cheap copies that you sometimes find.
Did you know that a quarter of UK adults are classed as physically inactive and only a third of children in Britain spend more than an hour a day outdoors? This is why, in 2016, Explorers Connect founder Belinda Kirk started the Wild Night Out. Millets have gotten behind it and once a year, they encourage people of all ages to get outside and enjoy the outdoors for the evening. This year’s Wild Night Out fell on the 29th June 2019. Did you join in too?
This is our fourth month of being the Bandai STEM Ambassadors and we have received the Build Your Own Volcano kit! Both of my children love science projects, especially those experiments that they can make a big mess and this is one of those experiments!
STEM is so important as it pervades every part of our lives and by exposing young children to STEM is one of the greatest gifts of knowledge we can ever give them. This Easter holiday, we are thrilled to be able to experience a brand new range of science toys from Thames & Kosmos and also divert the children away from their screens and learn something.
Thames & Kosmos has launched a series of eight exciting science kits that are designed to introduce various topics with interesting experiments and fun facts. Each kit is priced at just £8.99 which is very affordable and delivers genuine learn-while-they-play experiences for young ones. These lovely collection kits cover minerals, planets, crystals, pre-historic crustaceans and more. The kits are suitable for age eight and above.
To kick off this coming Easter half term, we received this National Geographic Geode STEM set as part of Bandai STEM Ambassadors. In case you didn’t know, National Geographic makes a huge range of STEM sets which allow your child/children to explore, create and discover something amazing about the natural world! There is so much out there for us to discover and learn about our amazing world!
To celebrate the Cadbury partnership with the blockbuster motion picture, Peter Rabbit, we were invited to take part in our very own Cadbury Easter Hunts! Look at what we have from the Cadbury Peter Rabbit themed range!
During my school days, I never had an opportunity to learn about Technology and Engineering. All the girls at my old school were made to learn home economics like sewing and cookery, whilst the boys were given the opportunity to build their own stuff. I recall a teacher told me that I should choose nursing rather than accounting as it is more suitable for a girl.
The truth is, I always scored the highest for my accounting and maths subjects in my class but I was never encouraged to pursue it. I was never encouraged to look outside the socially acceptable roles and I want to see that changed.

Are you a huge fan of Rubik’s Cube? Then don’t miss the UK Speedcubing Championship 2017 that will be taking place at The Forum, Stevenage on 27th – 29th October 2017. As this is the UK Championship, only competitors representing the United Kingdom will be eligible for prizes. However, the competition remains open for all nationalities to compete. Do check it out!
There will be 18 official events to be held. There is a time limit and if you take longer than this on a single solve you will be stopped, and given a DNF result for that attempt. For more information, do check out UK Cube Association.
Rubik’s Cube is incredibly addictive and has fascinated fans since it arrived way back in 1980. I think most households have had at least one at some point! It was my sister’s favourite puzzle of all time.
