With Piglet feeling under the weather last week a special delivery managed to pop a smile on her face. Just like the Teletubbies jumping out of the roof of their home, I pulled each of the new Teletubbies Twist n Chime toys from the package. Each receiving a cheer from Piglet. With the biggest gasp of excitement at the sight of the Po Teletubbies Talking 8” soft toy.
CBeebies favourite Twirlywoos is a pre-school series featuring the antics of four, fruit-tea loving bird-like friends. A combination of stop-frame animation and live action sequences set in the real world, the series uses fun and laughter to encourage children to think for themselves and gain confidence in their perceptions of the world.
Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the iconic LEGO brick, Hamleys and LEGO have built a brand new interactive and engaging area for families to enjoy on the 5th floor of their Regent Street store. The fun starts as soon as you pass through the gates protected by the LEGO Royal Guards.
As a little girl, I can remember one of my class teachers reading us the stories of Paddington bear. Although the book she read from only had a handful of illustrations we knew all about Paddington’s red hat blue duffel coat. With her describing the little bear from deepest, darkest Peru.
The Paddington movies in recent years have reignited my fondness for the little brown bear. With the children loving the films which are full of fun, adventure and lots of giggles!
PAW Patrol has a funny effect on the children in my house. Piglet, of course, goes running to the TV and starts shouting out all the character names (she can’t say many words but funnily enough has managed to learn the PAW Patrol pups names!). Whilst Roo and Tigger, do a little groan about having to watch it. Although once the theme tune has finished you can find them glued to the screen as much as Piglet.
Thomas the Tank Engine was something that Mr. Boo loved from his childhood. The fond memories of the adventures from Sodor…
Last year we welcomed Trolls into our lives. We were very lucky to be invited to the Trolls BFI Gala Screening – which was simply amazing! This was Piglet’s first visit to the cinema, which she thankfully enjoyed due to the bold colours, amazing soundtrack and a packet of Wotsits. Fast forward to this year and we had downloaded the film onto our Sky box (yes I am too lazy to keep putting the DVDs in and out of the DVD player) for us to watch one weekend. The Trolls movie is a hit with all of us, but none more so that Piglet… Oh, my goodness, how she loves that film and Princess Poppy.
Shortly after we moved to our new house we found a bright orange car that looked like one of the cars from Transformers. We would joke that it was resting up after a busy night out fighting the Decepticons as it was always there on the morning school run in the same place. So you can imagine the delight on Tigger’s face when he came home to find the Transformers The Last Knight RC Bumblebee car sitting waiting for him…
Bumblebee is Optimus Primes most trusted ally. Now it’s up to you and Bumblebee to save the world from the evil Decepticons.
This year has seen PAW Patrol fever grip our household. Ryder and his team of pups are based in Adventure Bay and are called upon whenever anyone needs their help. Whether it is Callie the cat stuck up the tree or the Adventure Bay lighthouse light goes out and the fog is settling in. With fun, friendship and adventure to be had in each episode. With each of the pups offering a different skill set which when combined with a combination of the other pups helps save the day.
