Animal Jam Review – by the 8yr old (and a bit more by me).

When we were asked to cover an Animal Jam Review, 8yr old Bear might have squeaked in joy and demanded we say yes NOW please and can she have the code NOW please, and do we have the code yet please, and she play NOW please… We LOVE Animal Jam! We’ve been reviewing for a month… well, when I say ‘we’, I actually mean 8yr old Bear. But she really properly loves it. And I love it for a number of reasons....

*New* Nintendo 3DS Review – pre-release!

*New* Nintendo 3DS Review – pre-release!

I love being a Nintendo Ambassador – we’re genuinely huge fans, and love the handheld consoles and the wii. But I do hit a slight issue when I’m reviewing. Because *whispers* I have never actually played on a 3DS. Or a DSi, or DS, or GBA either. So telling you how fabulous the latest incarnation is frequently baffles me. Thankfully, though, I do have a perfect solution, in the form of my home-grown Nintendo fanboy....

The LeapPad 3 Review

We received the LeapPad 3 tablet just before going on holiday, which was perfect timing since I’d been looking for something to distract 5-year-old Joe during the flight (leaving me to drink wine and read a book in peace). It took me a little while to set up on the LeapPad on the website (although this wouldn’t be a problem if you already have an account) but once it was done, it was easy to download apps – you can do it...

The new Glow Pets | Christmas Gift Guide

Last Christmas, Jolly found a total bargain, and snapped up a Pillow Pet for his little sister in a sale. She’d seen them on TV and coo-ed over them, and he just knew she’d love it. And she did. But none of us relaised quite how much she would love it. I’ve not been able to get her to sleep on a  pillow for a year now…. The only thing she sleeps on is her unicorn Pillow Pet. So when she saw the new version, the...

FIMO kids form & play

I cannot wait to sit down and try these kits with the children next week! Even though mine are no longer toddlers, they still can’t resist the lure of playdough or plasticine – but do get a little tired of spending an hour or two creating something amazing… only for it to be squashed back ionto the tubs at the end of the session. So these Fimo kits are a godsend. Form&play is a combination of modelling and...
