Smashers From Zuru – The Latest Thing For Sports Mad Kids
Smashers from Zuru are the latest toy/collectable taking the kids world by storm. A plastic ball that you have to physically ‘smash’ to get to the sports-themed collectable character inside, Smashers come in all shapes and sizes, and have limited editions that are highly covetable. There are hundreds to collect, and appeal to children who usually enjoy collecting Topps cards. These are the new pocket money toy, and I have to say my lad Joe is obsessed. Smashers come in a red plastic ball that you smash on the floor to get to the toy inside. This is, of course, great fun for kids. The “shattered” ball then doubles up…

Tekkerz Kid and It’s Romello launch Infinity Nado at The Entertainer, Bullring
Yesterday was a very exciting day in Birmingham for hundreds of kids enjoying the beginning of their half term holidays. You Tube stars the Tekkerz Kid and It’s Romello were in town to launch the latest Infinity Nado Battle set, and to challenge the Nado fans of Birmingham to try and beat the two brothers in a game. The kids of Birmingham rose to the challenge, making a journey to the Bullring, more specifically to The Entertainer to meet their pint sized heroes and maybe, just maybe, beat them at a game of Infinity Nado. I went along to The Entertainer myself to see what the game is all about.…

If you haven’t heard of them before, balance bikes have replaced training wheels and tricycles. From the name itself, this type of bike helps kids to learn how…

Wicked Uncle solves those Children’s party dilemmas
It all started when Joe was five. Before this, we had been invited to a few children’s birthday parties, spread out at intervals throughout the year. Then suddenly Joe hit five, and he suddenly had more party invites than the whole cast of TOWIE put together. It seemed like rarely a weekend passed without a birthday party from a cousin or a school friend. We attended a party this weekend, and now have party invites for the next three weekends. A child’s social life is certainly a busy one! Of course, birthday parties bring the problem of what to give for a gift. You know what your own child likes…

Reviewed: Super Loop Bands
I hate loom bands! There’s a simple reason for this hatred which has nothing to do with finding them all over the floor, or clogging up the Hoover, or just appearing everywhere. The reason is I can’t actually make them. I tried with the loom, and failed miserably. I tried without the loom and kept snapping the band. With a five-year old boy who seemed to want a band in the colours of every premiership team, I was a total failure and a big disappointment. So thank goodness for the Super Loop bands set available from Interplay. These are bands that I can actually make. They don’t require a loom,…
