Word Bandit Review

Word Bandit is a word-spotting board game that comes with an exciting wheel-spinning letter machine! This is a brain-teasing family-friendly game that is suitable for aged eight and above, and for two teams of any number.

Inside this box, it comes with a Word Bandit machine, playing board, two playing pieces, sand timer, sticker sheet and instructions. It requires minimal assembly by sticking the stickers onto the Word Bandit machine which takes no time at all.

Lazy Arm Review

Need a helping hand? Why not try out this Lazy Arm to free your hands for doing something else instead? This funky and functionally designed flexible smartphone holder can be clipped onto most surfaces except for anything overly thick like a thick wooden table. It works perfectly on my bedside drawers, kitchen top and desk! I am so pleased that I can watch the video at eye level and free my hands!

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.

Casdon Annabel Karmel Baking Range Review

Both of my children enjoy cooking and baking with me. Cooking and baking is a great way to develop an essential life skill as well as spend quality family time together. It can be stressful at times but I find that preparation is key and also having the right tools for job too. Some of the regular tools in the kitchen are too cumbersome and heavy for them to handle.

Toy company Casdon has teamed up with baby food expert and cookery book writer Annabel Karmel to create a range of cooking tools that work as normal kitchen tools. These high quality Casdon implements are all approved by Annabel who has written special recipes that are easy for young children to make. The range includes baking sets with cake moulds, baking accessories, mixing bowls and decoration tools which have been available to buy from mid-July.

Glorious Soup & Uncle Ben Review

Earlier this month, I had a wonderful opportunity to try two different types of healthy range foods. First was the SkinnyLicious range of healthy Glorious soups and then there was Uncle Ben’s new range of wholesome, great-tasting Rice & Grain varieties!

Introducing the SkinnyLicious soup range of Glorious Soup which is perfect for those seeking a guilt-free, healthy indulgence. Each SkinnyLicious soup is less than 2% fat and under 150 calories per portion. They are suitable for vegetarians, and others in the range are suitable for vegans and those with gluten allergies. For the past few weeks, I have been to Tesco and Waitrose to stock up. I am pleased that both supermarkets stock different ranges of flavours and I was able to try them all out!

Drumond Park SHOUT Review

I saw this SHOUT game at the Toy Fair last year and wanted to play it so much. Not because I am very clever but it is a great way to challenge yourself and your friends to work out the answers together. We have played this game with a few friends and they all love it. It is very challenging with plenty of uproarious fun!
