LOL SUPRISE! Confetti Pop Review

Hi everyone. This week I was so excited to review a LOL Surprise! Confetti Pop. I am such a big fan of LOL dolls but I can never save up enough to buy as many as I want.

The Confetti Pop is really special because as well as having 9 surprises inside it also has it's own built in party popper.


Watch my video now to see me open up this Series 3 Confetti Pop....





I really love the Funky QT doll that I got this time.



She's from the Rock Club. You can give her a drink of water and she does a little wee!


I'm really looking forward to collecting more. Even though my mum says shes fed up of finding the confetti everywhere!


Disclosure: We received the LOL Surprise for free in return for an honest review.

Baby Annabell Review

Hi Guys, it's me again. I've been off on my Easter Half Term and I've been playing with the new Baby Annabell Doll. She is so cute and just like a real baby.

I've been taking care of her for two weeks and it's just like having a little baby sister. Especially when she cries and real tears come out. She comes with 5 accessories - a dummy, a bottle, a bib, a nappy and a pendant.



I really loved feeding Baby Annabell water with her bottle and guess what she wees too. It's a good job she has a nappy!

I decided to do another video for you guys. So here's my review vlog for you:




On the video I couldn't get her to wee because she had cried so much and used all her water drink on tears. All you need to do is push her heart tummy button and she goes to the toilet really easily.


When you feed her, if she cries you need to wind her by tapping her back and then she burbs.



She is such a good baby. We are going to get her a cot and pram next. Hope you enjoyed my review. Come back soon. x

The One Where We Found Our Old Toys! (If you're an 80's child you may recognise a few of these!)

Whilst searching the loft at Mum & Dads house for Mister A's baby bouncer I came across a bag of old toys..and when I say old I mean 1980s toys from when me and my brother were growing up! For the sake of nostalgia I thought I'd share...

Tried & Tested: Great Toys for Babies...

Little E is now 5 months old - she's just at that stage where she can almost sit up and she loves to be entertained. Lucky for us we have been fortunate enough to receive some great to toys for her to play with and review so we thought we'd share the results...

Infantino Jungle Buddies Explore & Store Travel Gym

Super-soft travel activity gym with bold animal patterns and hanging toys to stimulate baby’s senses and keep them entertained. Suitable from birth.

What did we think?

Little E loves to lie on her back and watch hit her hand against the arch to watch the animals wobble. She can't actually reach the animals to play with them as they are just a touch to high so we sometimes add additional toys on to the arch that she can reach. This is a great travel toy - it folds in to a plastic carry case and we tend to leave it in the car boot when it's not in use so that wherever we might end up Little E always has something to play with.



Lindam Bounce About Plus Door Bouncer 
(Amazon.co.uk £23.95)Designed to give children the freedom and independence to stand upright whilst being fully supported, they provide a new sensation and perspective of the world for babies. Suitable for babies old enough to support their head, until they can walk.




What did we think?

Little E loves this. It took a bit of getting used to at first and she wasn't quite sure what to make of it, but once she figured out that she was in control she was bouncing away. I think she enjoyed being upright and not being held by someone. She didn't even get fed up or bored like she does with other toys and of course Mister A thought it was hilarious so then he wanted a go. Try explaining to a 3 year old that his sister can have fun with something but he can't! A great buy, a good price and it can be handed down as your family grows.

Blossom Farm Deluxe Sit Me Up Cosy
(
£
45.00 ELC.co.uk)

As well as being a clever two-in-one supportive play nest and prop to help your growing baby sit up, this deluxe sit-me-up has a removable play arch and tummy-time pillow to give your baby even more options to learn, move, play and develop. Use one cushion or stack the two cushions together for greater upright support for older babies.



What did we think?

This is a great play toy that will last from birth and beyond. When your baby is young it can be used as shown in the picture - with the 'flower shaped mat' nestled in the inflatable ring (which is actually in two separate parts.) As your baby gets older you can lay your baby on the mat with the mini pillow for some tummy time and then when your baby is old enough to start trying to sit you stack the to parts of the inflatable ring on top of each other as a support. Great baby toy and although quite costly it will last.

IKEA SOFT TOYS

The problem of Mister A asking for a dog like his friend has been solved! Last week Mister A and Little E were sent a soft toy each from IKEA.


Mister A was sent this lovely doggy which he has named Boxer...


GOSIG Bulldog £7.14

FABLER GRODA Comfort Blanket £3.05
...and Little E was sent this 'Freddy the Frog' comfort blanket which she's been sucking and nibbling on since it arrived! I'm sure Freddy will bear the brunt of this tooth when it eventually arrives and Mister A is happy that he now has his 'pet' dog!


The IKEA range is a favourite of ours as the toys are always soft and huggable and are suitable from birth as well as being great value.

IKEA have also just launched a new Facebook app called Toy Stories. It let's your children create their own book with illustrations! One of the characters is Mister A's doggy - Boxer - and we've been creating a book based on his birthday. It's great fun so make sure you take a look.

A bit from IKEA...

IKEA believe all children should have the opportunity to find and love their favourite toys. IKEA have developed a range of soft toys that will not only treat your little ones but will also provide a special companion. Toys help children to use their imaginations through creative play and also play a key role in helping children develop their emotions.


At IKEA one of our goals is to make the world play a little bit more. So we brought together parents, children and experts to produce the world’s largest study on play called the Playreport. We spoke to 8,000 parents and 3,000 children aged 7-12 from over 25 countries.


At IKEA we believe that play is the basis for how children learn, develop and become who they are. We wanted to research the state of play around the world. The research showed a lot of interesting results such as:


73% of children think it’s more fun to play with their parents than watch TV


89% of parents agree that play is to encourage their child’s imagination


Only 9% of children think play has to involve toys




Play is important as it allows creativity and imagination to flourish. It helps children work out relationships through social interaction. It allows children to understand what is happening in the world and explore new things.


As part of this we produced a Facebook page called ‘make the world play more’ to help parents exchange thoughts around play and development.

As well as the Facebook app, IKEA have also luanched a competition called Your Fridge Door – where you can upload a photo of your child’s artwork and each week a winner will be chosen and they will win a MALA art set. What are you waiting for? Go enter!
