This Easter weekend, Skylanders challenged us with these two new Spring edition – Easter characters: Eggcited Thrillipede and Spring Ahead Dive Bomber. Have you seen them yet? Both of them are packaged in an egg shell which is definitely better than a chocolate Easter egg! Mr K is super eggcited!

Inateck 2-Port Rapid Car Charger Review
I am a heavy user of my iPad so I bought a portable battery. Occasionally I do forget to bring the lightning cable with me though so I’ve not been able to charge it when I’ve been out. So I am delighted to to know that Inateck have this 2-Port Rapid Car Charger.
We are no stranger to Inateck! We use the HUB HB5001, Speaker and Bluetooth keyboard on a daily basis. They are reliable, easy to use and of course very useful! I’ve used these products for some time now and I’ve had no problems with them whatsoever.
iPad Child Shock-Proof Case Review
For any parents whose children have access to an iPad, it is a common concern that their children might accidentally drop their iPad and scratch the screen or worse. Therefore, I am always on the look out for a good iPad case for my children. Mr K has been using a standard case with a Marvel Superheroes print that doesn’t provide much protection.
Inateck Bluetooth Keyboard BK1003E Review
Having a keyboard is always very useful if you have a small screen like a mobile phone or mini iPad. Personally, I find even using a full size iPad quite annoying sometimes that the keyboard fills up half of the screen. This means that most of the time, I am not able to scroll up to see what is covered by it.
Argos Wishlist App Review
Argos have launched an app for children called My Christmas Wishlist. The app is aimed at children aged between 3 to 7 years old and is available for iOS and Android devices. It is an app to allow young children to choose the toys they want for Christmas and send it to Santa (aka mummy or daddy’s inbox).
After downloading the app, parents should register their email address in order to get the wish list from their children. You can also adjust how many toys the children can choose within a certain price range. I didn’t set this and let my children add as many toys as they wanted. What a big mistake! I had to go back, adjust it and get them to reselect.
In this Argos Wishlist app, there are five little cute helpers: Mo, Squidge, Fly, Gil and Stik. Once you have selected the helpers, it will ask you to take a selfie and add your name. You can have one profile for each child. Once your photo is taken, you can simply create your own wish list. It is divided into a number of categories: LEGO, Skylanders, Disney Infinity, Minecraft, Furby, Bear, Bicycle and many more. They are the best of the best toys for Christmas 2014.
Hoopa City App Review

Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods Review
OtterBox Defender Series iPad Review
I have been using an iPad for a number of years and during that time, I have always kept an eye out for a better iPad cover. There have always been a good range of covers available but I have yet to find the perfect cover. From personalised to multi-use covers, I have tried most of them. One brand I hadn’t tried but was been intrigued by was OtterBox, after seeing a friend use it for their iPhone. They are well known for their hard wearing, durable protecting covers.
Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard Review
Having a keyboard is always very useful if you have a small screen like a phone or mini iPad. I have always wanted a keyboard for my iPad too as the keyboard tends to fill up half of the screen and most of the time, I am not be able to scroll up to see what is covered by it.

Heroes of the City Movie
We recently discovered the Heroes of the City app and got in touch to review for them. Prior to that, we had not heard nor watched them before. For those of you who have not heard of Heroes of the City, they are: A children’s television cartoon about rescue vehicles in a small town where everybody gets to be a hero! In the show, you get to meet Pauli Police Car and Fiona Fire Engine as they help the townspeople find thieves, put out fires and solve crime that happens in the otherwise quiet town. You will also get to know Calamity Crow, the most misunderstood bird in town. The cartoon is for children aged 3 – 7.
