With interactive, electronic pets being cuddly and girly for far too long, the boys are about to reclaim toy pets as Character Options introduce the Ugglys! The gross electronic pup-pet Ugglys are programmed with 30 gross sounds and comes in three pug Ugglys dogs to choose from.
In the box, there is a pug puppet, Uggdoption certificate and instruction booklet. It requires 3x AAA batteries which is not included. You will need a small Philips screwdriver to remove the screw from the battery compartment.

Owning a phone at a young age is most children’s dream. They all love their toys and gadgets as much as the adults. It was a few months ago while Mr K was on a holiday camp that he asked for a phone. He wanted to give us a call. I did find it hard to get in touch with the holiday club members to check on him while he was there.

Do you ever leak urine when you run, cough, sneeze or laugh? Since two natural births, I found that I have these problems but have not taken it seriously. I went to the doctors a couple of years ago and was referred to the specialist nurse. I was not impressed with their advice and had left it. Now, it has got so bad that I have had enough and want to sort myself out.

Brainbox Games My First Sound Snap is a unique deck of cards that lets you play two family favourites, Snap and Pairs using early-years reading strategies. It is suitable for aged 4+ and comes in 52 full colour playing cards plus 3 rules cards. BrainBox kindly give us pack one and pack two to do this review. Pack one uses letters A – M and pack two uses letters N – Z. It feels like the cards are coated which should make them more durable and water resistant. This is obviously really useful with children!

Both of my children love to play games together from board games to computer games. As they are only 18 months apart, we are fortunate that it is quite easy to find a game they can both play and enjoy. BrainBox has kindly given us My First Pictures to do a review. It is suitable for four years and above which is just the right age group for both of my children. Ms C just turned four last week. It is for one or more players.
BrainBox My First Pictures is the youngest of the range helping children recognise objects and names of items from household, holiday and everyday scenes. The object of the game is to study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on the roll of a dice. If the question is answered correctly, the card is kept and the person with the most number of cards after 5 or 10 minutes is the winner. This simple concept can be played by all ages and in large groups as well as a 1 person game.

As a PlayFest Official Toy Tester 2013, I got to test Haba Pizzeria Allegro Soft Food and made a video review. Haba Pizzeria Allegro Soft Food is a tasty fun playset for 1 – 4 quick bakers aged 3 to 6 years old. It comes in a rectangular box where the bottom part of the box is a pizza oven. It is made from thick cardboard. The ingredients are made from felt and velour.

Hasbro and Marvel yet again had done everything to give the children or their fans a piece of Iron Man. From Sonic Blasting Iron Man figure to Arc Fx Iron Man mask. I am fortunate to receive the Sonic Blasting Iron Man from markettiers4dc for review. My son is very excited as Iron man is one of his favourite Avengers characters.

Both of my children aged 3 and 5 are both still using milk bottles, especially Ms C as she still drinks milk while we are out. I was lucky to get this Pacific Baby 3-in-one thermal baby bottle and accessories for review by the Pourty Potty. After over a week of using the Pacific Baby 3-in-one thermal baby bottle and accessories, these are my reviews for:

Post Box Game is aimed at age 2+ for 1 – 4 players. My first impression is that this is a big hit for both of my children. They both love to post letters.
