Pigs in pants! This is the latest fun, amusing and lively matching game by Orchard Toys, launched in August 2013. My children love the idea of matching pants and they are such colourful pants too!

Dudley Zoo is a zoo with hundreds of animals set around an 11th century castle incorporating the world’s largest single collection of Tecton buildings and the country’s only vintage chairlift – all sited on a 40-acre wooded hillside with a rich geological history.
This morning was such a gorgeous day. We set off from Lichfield which took us 50 minutes to reach the Zoo. The car park is just next to the Zoo but there is quite a walk if you come late. The fee is £3.50 per day which is quite reasonable.

Walls of the Wild Butterfly Collection
Instead of spending your time painting a wild forest theme on your wall, why not invest in wall stickers? I love the idea of wall stickers. They are easy to use and are reusable. We were already fans of wall stickers. We had a wall sticker train set on Ms C’s wall and the children’s names on their doors. The lovely people from Walls of the Wild has given us the Butterfly collection to review. There are a total of 15 stickers consisting of butterflies, a dragonfly and a hummingbird.
BrainBox Games Colour and Learn
Recently, we reviewed the BrainBox games My First Picture and ABC. Honestly, I did not know that they also have colouring books. I was given these two Colour and Learn Animals and Teddy Bears books for review. It is suitable for age 5 onwards. Each book has 24 tear out pictures. They are not just an original colouring book. They are educational and each picture is vividly imaginative. The animals are not the most realistic you will ever see, but this may be to allow for easier colouring.
West Midland Safari Park
Today, we went to visit the Wild Winter Safari, West Midland Safari Park thanks to moneysupermarket.com who gave us family tickets for us to do this review. It didn’t take us long to reach the place as there were lot of signs. We were greeted by friendly staff but unfortunately we weren’t allowed to upgrade our tickets to see Santa because they were fully booked until 4pm.
Reptiles, Mammals and You Show at Lichfield Library
Yet again another fantastic Summer holiday event organised by the Lichfield District libraries. Today we got to meet at least 10 different types of reptiles, mammals, and insects. The handler was there to explain the history behind the wiggly creatures, their unique way of protecting themselves and how to handle them etc. There was a lot of interaction and the kids were allowed to handle the creatures. Mr K was amused by all of them and he held every single reptile/mammal on show including the snail and cockroach. Ms C was not so keen to hold them. She was quite scared actually. At least she was brave enough to take a closer look at them!
