I’ve mentioned before that Monkey loves Play-Doh and the Fire Truck set we reviewed not long ago has been played with a lot. He was therefore over the moon to receive the Play-Doh Town 3-in-1 Town Centre when we got back from Spain last month. Aimed at children aged 3 years and over this set has…Continue reading Play-Doh Town 3-in-1 Town Centre

We’re really into imaginative play here, but as you know this often revolves around building sites, construction in all forms and diggers and tractors normally feature quite heavily! But with Monkey now being at school we’ve often seen him teach me phonics and go through literacy classes. It’s lovely to watch him bring his daily…Continue reading International School Set imaginative play

Being a bit of a motor racing fan I’m eager to encourage the same enthusiasm in Monkey! So when we received a Disney Pixar Cars play set from Mattel over the holidays it was time for some serious play time. We received The Radiator Springs 500½ Off-Road Rally Race aimed at children aged 4 years…Continue reading Disney Pixar Cars Off-Road Rally Race – a review for Mattel
