This December, I am thrilled to partner with Games Quest. Games Quest is an online game store who are not just limited to games but also sells toys and books with over 30,000 items. There is something for everyone!
I had a browse at their shop and found two ideas games for my daughter and my son! Well, not really my son but myself! I am addicted to board games especially games of a medical genre. This game is called Hospital Rush. It is pure comical fun and comes with a whole bunch of unique player boards. Their different special abilities bring a great variety to the game and present you with a new challenge each time you play. It is for aged 10 and above and to play with 3 to 5 players. This game takes at least 30 minutes to an hour to play. It is definitely great to play during Christmas time while waiting for the roast to cook!
LOGO Grab is a new game from Drumond Park which is a gripping rollercoaster of a game where you simply ‘roll, spot and grab’ the cards. The objective is to be the first to collect two sets of three coloured big brand cards featuring well-known products as diverse as Pot Noodle, After Eight, Heinz Baked Beans, a KitKat, The Volkswagen Beetle, Marmite and Gale’s Honey. It can be played by a group of teams or 2 to 4 players and for aged 8 and upwards.
Articulate for Kids is so far one of my children’s and also my favourite games from Drumond Park. The game is very simple to follow and very fun to play! It can be played by a group of children by themselves or with grown-ups and is suitable for 4 to 20 players and for aged 6 and upwards.
Recently, I received this Cat’s cradle book and it was a real blast from the past as it triggered memories of playing this in the playground with my school mates. It was really popular during my childhood among all the girls as they tried to solve the next challenge!
My children might be 5 and 6, but they are still very much in love with their teddy bears. When they heard that they were allowed to bring their own unique bears out for a picnic, they were over the moon! I have never allowed them to take their bedtime bears outside of the house, just in case they lost it and as most parents will know, a child’s favourite cuddly toy is so difficult to replace!
So a day before, Mr C and the children went to our local Waitrose to buy the groceries for our teddy bears picnic. They bought a few packets of ham, tomatoes, a loaf of bread, strawberries, cake, Capri-Sun and others. I then made a lot of ham, jam and egg sandwiches and packed our bag with fruits, snacks and plenty of drinks!
Yesterday, the weather was so hot and sunny that we spent most of the morning having fun in the garden! To continue the alphabet for the summer activities, we are doing letter E.

Drumond Park Pumpaloons is a pumping race game which is great for indoors or outdoors. It is suitable for 2 players aged four onwards.
Children dash to their pumps and start puffing up the two lovable, colourful, clown-like wobblies – Stripeyloon and Spottyloon – until they are towering firmly upright. There are many ways to do it! You can stomp on the pump with your foot, kneel down and push it furiously with your hands, or even sit on the pump and bounce up and down, as fast as you can go! The winner is the first one to pump up the character! It may look big but it only takes 2 – 3 minutes to blow it up.
Another amazing game from Drumond Park! This Tooth Fairy game is magical and all the children who played this loved it! It is for 2 – 4 players and suitable from age 5 onwards.
Today, 26th June 2014, you can download Dr Panda’s brand new Hoopa City game at: Apple App Store, Google Play Store & Amazon App Store for Android for £1.99. I think this is very reasonably priced! This is another fun and educational game from Dr. Panda. This time, you learn to plan and build your own Hoopa city! This app is suitable for children aged 5 to 8.

A couple of months ago, I was debating with my husband whether we should get the Minecraft app for Mr K. He had been begging for days. We both knew very little about Minecraft and what the objective of the game is. I’ve since learnt that Minecraft is a Lego style adventure game which puts players in a randomly-generated world where they can create their own structures and contraptions out of textured cubes.
