by RachelSwirl August 29, 2019

With it being the summer holidays, I have been willing to do almost anything to keep the kids entertained and happy. I’m not a huge fan of mess or goop so I must admit I was a little dubious when agreeing to review ‘The Hangrees‘ – the latest range of parody snack-based, slime creation to hit the market. The kids, however, were overjoyed at the chance to get their hands a little sticky and of course to take a look at some new toys. Snack Attack We received a large box filled with goodies including a range of snacks, each …

Reviewing & Playing With The Peppa Pig Cash Register

by RachelSwirl October 8, 2018

Imitation and copying through role play is a valuable method of learning for your children. As our daughter E was brought up with having shopkeepers as Grandparents, it was inevitable that she’d want her very own shopping trolley, stock, shelves, and of course – a till! Whilst E has spent years playing with a rather dated ELC till we were recently sent a rather fabulous update – the Peppa Pig Cash Register! The Peppa Pig Cash Register This fabulously funky till features all the accessories any little one requires for playing shopkeeper. Children are able to scan their items and …
