Story Stars are soft cuddly creatures that can read your child stories of their exciting adventures, sing calming relaxing melodies, playback your own personalised recorded messages and project a colourful night sky onto the ceiling. There are five creatures to collect: Toby Tales (Monstersaur), Teddi Tales (Bear), Luby Lullaby (Mermaid), Kori Story (Monkey) and Freddie Fable (Explorer).
Buddy Balls are super soft 16” cuddly bears with a secret compartment that magically transforms into soft colourful balls. There are four characters to collect: Max, Lily, Sam and Eva, with their paw revealing what design is hidden inside.

Is something bothering you that makes you constantly worry? Why not write your worries on a piece of paper and feed them to Worry Eater! Together both of us can get through this!
Worry Eaters are based on Gerd Hahn’s animation, Sorgenfresser. They are brilliant for eating nightmares and acting as a ‘waste bin’ for worries of all shapes and sizes. Children simply write or draw their troubles on a piece on paper and feed them into the zip mouth of the Worry Eater. They are great cuddly companions in good times or bad, for children of all ages, parents find the award-winning plush toys ideal for keeping channels of communication open with their youngsters whilst also being a fun, vibrant plaything.
In time for World Book Day on 3rd March 2016, Rainbow Design is releasing this 16” Whizzpopping BFG soft toy for Roald Dahl fans to buy!
Did you know that Disney Tsum Tsum has made its way to Disney Stores across the UK? This is following phenomenal success in Japan, with the launch of a range of stackable and collectible soft toys featuring favourite Disney characters from Mickey and Minnie Mouse to Dumbo, Donald Duck, Frozen characters and many more.
Disney Tsum Tsum (pronounced ‘Soom Soom’) means “stack stack” in Japanese, and stems from the Japanese Zen art of stone stacking. The soft toys are designed to be stacked big and high, the soft and cuddly toys are available in small (RRP £3), medium (RRP £10) and large sizes (RRP £20), allowing each individual to build a collection of their most adored Disney characters.
Both of my children had been playing Cut The Rope since last year and completed the levels. Ms C especially loves to watch the video clips on the Cut The Rope app on my iPad. When we received the Om Nom Cut the Rope Candy Monster from Vivid Toys and Games, they were so excited! They couldn’t wait to get him out of the box. Om Nom is a friendly candy loving green monster who just loves candy. He is very soft and cuddly and requires 3 x LR44 battery which is included. They are suitable for aged 4 plus. He is very well made but only surface washable.
Ms C’s birthday is coming soon and she is going to be 4 years old. It’s amazing how quickly that time has passed. She adores her soft toys and loves to have them share her bed. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to experience the Build-A-Bear workshop. Before we visited the shop, I did some research on their website with my children. I tried to talk them through what we were going to do. They were so excited! Last Saturday, we wake up fairly early and arrived at the Derby Westfield. We were kindly shown around by their lovely staff who briefly explained the process.

This is the first station where they get to choose their un-stuffed Bear/Cat/Dog/Rabbit/My Little Pony/Hello Kitty and get to cuddle the sample. Last month, they launched their Autism Awareness Bear and My Little Pony. Each animal’s price start from £9 onwards, which I think is very reasonable price. Ms C went for the Disney Princess Bear with six different princesses printed on the foot while Mr K chose a more traditional looking Sweet Velvet Teddy.
