Drumond Park have recently launched their new simple action game, just in time for the summer! This Barbecue Party is suitable for ages 4 and above for 2 – 4 players. It is portable so you can bring it out to play on holiday. This is a lovely mini game that is fun but also great to train children’s fine motor skills! Using tongs makes the game quite challenging! It is all down to their fine motor skills to win the game!
This summer, we have been bouncing, throwing, kicking and catching the Wubble Bubble ball! This ball is made from a super-thermo-stretch-tacular material which moves and looks like a bubble but plays like a ball. They are suitable for children aged six years and over and can be found in leading retailers nationwide and Amazon. This is available in three different colours: blue, purple and pink.
Would your children like to create their own animation using their favourite toys such as Lego, teddy bears, cars or even film themselves in it? Are they fascinated with how animation was made, like the Lego Movie, Shaun the Sheep, etc. HUE Animation Studio contains everything a budding animator needs to begin creating stop motion animation videos.
Children can discover, imagine and create stop-motion animation through this easy-to-use, animation software which includes a camera with a unique flexible neck for unlimited positioning options and built-in microphone.
The software (used in schools and at home) helps children to create simple visual adaptations using toys, modelling clay, play figures and stop-frame animation techniques. The process of animating with the Hue Animation Studio encourages children to learn a diverse range of skills in both a fun and stimulating way. They can create a story, create characters, make them from clay or plasticine, design and make sets, compose soundtracks or select appropriate recorded music to enhance a film. Our school is using this too!
Easy Nails Spa is a new product from Character Online which is suitable for children aged 5+. This set is perfect if your child loves painting nails or having a girly sleepover with their friends!
This spa paints your nails at a touch of a button! Its arm will dip into the nail vanish and position and paint in 3 simple steps. The nail guard ensures it doesn’t overpaint on to the skin. There are buttons on either side of the spa to ensure you can easily paint both sets of finger nails with ease. The adjustable polish holder means you can use any polish with the spa.

We love science projects in this house, from making a potato powered clock to creating a shiny penny. This week through the Collective Bias, we had a chance to make a vlog of dancing noodles! Yes, we are using chemistry to make the noodles dance!
Can you believe that summer is approaching? We all love summer but too much daylight in the evenings is not ideal for both children and adults alike as this may cause sleeplessness or interrupted sleep.
Mr K has been complaining that it’s too bright at bedtime up and that it doesn’t feel like bedtime at all. We had double layered his roman blinds but it is not helping him as the light still seeps through the material.
As a solution to such problems, the Worcester-based MAGIC WHITEBOARD™ inventor Neil Westwood has successfully launched two of their newest innovative products Magic Blackout Blind™ and the reusable Magic Notebook™.
My son has been watching quite a lot of video on YouTube and one of the videos he saw was about unwrapping a food box and trying out the snacks in it. So he asked my sister who happened to be working in Japan at the time to make him a box.
I asked her to get us a small box of candies and I was so surprised to receive a huge box of Japanese goodies! Some of them are my favourites too! I have been to Japan three times for holidays and I am totally in love with the place and their cute ‘kawaii’ foods/snacks. They place emphasis on the emotive packaging and pay extra attention to detail. It makes the food so appealing!

This is one of the most exciting #CollectiveBias vlogging shops I have ever done. I am so proud of my Samsung K Zoom that I would like to share three of my favourite features on the camera. Last year, I received this Samsung K Zoom phone for review and until now it is still my favourite phone.
I am so glad the weather is getting warmer. After a long hard winter, the stone patio path, wooden decking and driveway looks extremely dull. So armed with the Kärcher K4 Home Pressure Washer, it is an ideal time to clean away all the dirt that has accumulated.
The Kärcher K4 Pressure Washer combines power with an innovative water-cooled induction motor for enhanced performance and longer life. Our model also comes with the additional Home kit that includes a T350 patio cleaner and detergent.
ChillFactor have churned out yet another useful gadget! From a slush maker to ice cream maker, jelly maker and now a chilled drinks bottle! You will get a chilled drink within a minute!
Before you start using the drinks bottle, disassemble everything before washing. There are instructions included which shows you the step-by-step with picture captions. Pop the cooling pack into the freezer for 4 – 6 hours or until it is frozen before assembling it so that it’s ready to use.
Recently, I have received a packet of Star Hero Foam Stickers from Baker Ross. I decided to make it into a story board and encourage my children to perform their own storytelling. This storytelling board encourages your child to use their imagination and creativity.
Before I handed the foam stickers and card over to my children, I explained to them how this Super Hero Story Telling worked. The black card is like their story board and they can be as creative as they want by using the foam.
When is the last time you cleaned your windows? I have to be honest that it has been almost a year since I cleaned ours! I do hate cleaning windows as it takes a long time to do properly. Firstly, you have to wash it with warm soapy water, then wipe the water away and finish by using a dry cloth to make sure there is no water mark left on the window. In the end, I will end up with 2 buckets of water, 2 cloths and maybe a paper towel!
Did you know that every year in the UK alone, we throw away 4.2 million tonnes of good food every year? I have to admit that we have been guilty of throwing away food especially when we were hosting a party or on the occasions that we forgot about the food in the cupboard or fridge!
Love Food Hate Waste would love to raise the awareness of the need to reduce food waste and help us take action. So they came up with these 5 golden tips to help families to waste less food which will ultimately benefit our purses and the environment too. Discover more at Love Food Hate Waste.
The popularity of the Frozen movie has been phenomenal from the moment it graced the cinemas in 2013. All the little girls wanted to be like Elsa, the Snow Queen! My daughter, Ms C is the same too! She loves the movie and is mad for all things Frozen including of the dress, plush toys, dolls, wallpaper etc.!
She was so thrilled when she saw this 2 in 1 Frozen Magic Snow Sleeve from Flair and gorgeous Frozen Elsa Deluxe dress from Rubies.
