The Importance of Teddy Bears
I have a teddy bear at the end of my bed. It’s over 40 years old and I wouldn’t part with it for all the money in the world. Every night the hubby kicks it off the bed, and every morning I put it back on the bed again. It’s going nowhere. It’s been with me through bad and good and I guess it can still act like a reassuring comfort blanket at times. Who hasn’t cried into a teddy bear at one time or another? Teddy Bears are an absolute stable of every child’s life, and my boy Joe is no exception. He’s almost 7 and tries to be…

#WhatWoodYouPlay – Stepping back in time with wooden toys
It seems that when it comes to children’s toy, this Christmas may well see the return of the classic wooden designs that children of previous generations enjoyed. Parents, fed up with the flimsy nature of cheap plastic, or the amount of batteries required for even the simplest motorised toy or game, are turning back to the beautifully designed pieces they remember playing with in their infancy and are getting ready to introduce their children to toys that help develop real adventurous and imaginative play.

A spooktastic family games night with Megableu
In these days that are dominated by games of a computerised kind, it is still nice to sometimes take time out to play games that come in a cardboard box that don’t require a keyboard, a control pad or have the words FIFA attached to them. Megableu are a company who create great games that take can be played and enjoyed by all the family. These games are fun and exciting, and often incorporate various levels of difficulty so they can be enjoyed by children (and adults) of all ages. With Halloween in mind, we were sent a couple of games from Megableu, Ghost Hunt Evolution and Creepy Hand. Creepy…

New Giveaway with Batman Unlimited.
When super heroes come to mind, there is no doubt that our kids (and let’s face it, ourselves) can never get too much of Batman. From Adam West and Bert Ward in the 1960s, to the film versions starring Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson – darker than the 1960s TV show, but still with an element of tongue-in-cheek, and right up to date with the Christopher Nolan movies, Batman has the power to entice and excite in equal measures. With the recent film versions being of a decidedly adult nature, it has been left to DC Kids to fly the flag for kids with the child friendly cartoon…
