Mini Hornit Review

Recently, I came across Hornit via the Talk To Mums Family Playtime event in London. This Mini Hornit comes in four awesome attractive colours: purple/pink, blue/orange, red/blue and black. They are the ultimate lights and sound effects accessory for children’s bikes and scooters.

Inside this box, it comes with Mini Hornit, remote trigger (to use on your bike) and 2 spare AAA batteries. There are 2 AAA batteries already loaded in the Mini Hornit. It is very easy to install using the wings clip that even a child could do it.

Vtech DigiGo Review

We are thrilled to be part of the Vtech DigiGo Ambassador Campaign with tots100 and over the next three months, I will bring you some interesting news from Vtech.

We have received this Vtech DigiGo which is a hand held smart device for children aged 3 to 7. Both my children are pretty tech savvy and within minutes they knew exactly how to play it. It’s also helpful that we do own an InnoTAB 2 which we’ve had for a few years now.

Besides the usual features like taking photo and videos, playing learning games and using the multimedia player, this Vtech DigiGo allows your child to send and receive text or voice messages, photos, drawing and much more with (parent-approved) family and friends’ smartphone using the built in wireless connection.

Self-Watering Planter from Lechuza

My children love planting and they are always very excited when I hand them a bag of seeds. In the past, we have grown peas, sunflowers, strawberries and others. We don’t always get the fruits of our labour though as we keep forgetting to water it. This is worse during the summer as we are often out and about and it’s when the plants need more water.

We recently installed a Karcher Rain Box which is helpful but it is not on a timer so we still have to turn on the tap to water it. So we are delighted to receive this Lechuza self-watering planter!

Tube Heroes Review

The Tube Heroes are going down a storm in the UK! US toy company Jazwares have bought the world’s biggest digital stars into one heroic platform that includes action figures, plush and role-play items! They are the most powerful and influential self-made online celebrities!

Both Mr K and Ms C are already big fans of DanTDM due to his regular YouTube videos on MineCraft. They watch his videos all the time so they were already aware of this Tube Heroes before me!

They were thrilled when we received this surprise box of Tube Heroes. Inside the box, it comes with a soft and cute plush toy of JeromeASF and a CavemenFilms action figure.

Smart Egg Review

Love puzzles? Why not try out these Smart Eggs? They are a new puzzle, akin to Rubik’s Cubes in that they require careful, logical consideration to complete; the goal is to guide a wand through a labyrinth in the Egg, from the top and out through the bottom. This is suitable for children aged 6 years and over and comes in a variety of difficulties, which can take up to three hours to solve.

Turbospoke Review

Want to own a motorbike but too young to ride? Why not check out this awesome Turbospoke! It is a Bicycle Exhaust System that makes your bike look and sound like a motorbike! Turbospoke creates realistic motorbike sounds as soon as you start cycling. The faster you pedal the louder it gets.

The megaphone exhaust pipe looks like the real thing and amplifies the sound. Yes, it really does sound like a motorbike that will make everyone do a double-take! You can either impress them with your biking skills or prank them!
