With the release of the LEGO Batman Movie earlier this year, talk in the Boo Roo and Tigger Too household has included at least one mention of LEGO Batman every day. Whether it was the countdown to when Tigger and Mr. Boo would be going to see it at the cinema. Tigger completing some LEGO Batman Movie Activity Books to the chatter about the new LEGO Batman sets that had been spotted in the supermarket.
As a parent, I am pretty relaxed on what my children choose to play with. After all, it is them who needs to be entertained by it, interact with it and hopefully have a lifespan of more than five minutes. Don’t get me wrong, I do steer them away from things whilst we are in the toy store – pointing out that they had something similar and they never played with it so what makes this one so special.
The latest release in the LEGO City range is LEGO City Jungle, a follow up to the volcano and sea-based themes they have had in the past few years (both of which Tigger has loved). With a range of sets for both ability and price point available, it is a range to capture your imagination and create adventures with.
As part of the initiative, LEGO® City & National Geographic Kids will launch an exciting new competition to win a National Geographic Family Expedition to the jungles of Costa Rica in Central America! The winning family will explore the treetops and volcanic canyon landscapes of Rio Blanco, go zip lining through tropical forests surrounded by astonishing wildlife, visit a wildcat rescue centre to meet orphaned ocelots and jaguars, dine in a tree house and get to experience the real-life jungle.
In the small provincial town of Villeneuve, Disney’s independent Belle wants more out of life than the village can offer. But when her father is taken prisoner by Disney’s monstrous Beast, she takes his place to set him free and finds herself in the midst of a mysterious enchantment, unlike anything she could ever have imagined.
The Fisher-Price Little People range was a favourite for both Roo and Tigger. With different sets available they allow toddlers and pre-schoolers to explore different themes of play. The Little People Caring for Animals Farm is a great example allowing children to get hands on with a play farm. Learning different animals, the sounds etc. But also for enabling them to understand the needs of the animals and how they can help them.
One of the things that all of the children seem to love is helping Mr. Boo when he completes the gardening chores. From collecting the weeds he has pulled up, holding the garden bin as he empties the grass cuttings etc. Whilst there are a number of chores they can assist with, mowing the lawn isn’t. This doesn’t mean that they don’t want to get involved, so when we were offered the Husqvarna Toy Walk Lawn Mower to review, I knew they would be delighted.

Hands up who is excited about the new Disney Pixar Cars 3 film released this Friday? I know we are! It feels as though Tigger has been on the countdown for the release forever. With the adverts appearing on the TV just heightening his anticipation for the new slice of Cars action.
We love to visit the cinema, admittedly we don’t visit as much as we did before Piglet, although she is now starting to get to the age where we will soon be able to take her with us. This aside, there are some films that are released that we cannot wait until it is released on DVD or Blu Ray to see – one of these films was Despicable Me 3.
