SpruKits Review

SpruKits from Bandai are a new toy on the UK market and we have been lucky enough to receive a box full of goodies.  we received:

• Two level 1 SpruKits,we received the original comic  Joker and the new 52 Batman
• One level 2 SpruKit, We got  Batman The Dark Knight Rises 
• one level 3 SpruKit,which was the Halo Master Chief.
• A Bandai USB Stick

Our thoughts:

OMG it arrived and I saw the box and was sooooo excited i was literally bouncing before I even got the kids reaction!

I love how you literally need nothing extra,no cutting/sewing or glue just open up the boxes pull out the pieces,read the very east to follow instruction and get started. our 8 year old managed to snap the pieces off easily enough however myself and my partner put them together to create our master pieces. it took us about 15 minutes to put together the level 1 and 2 SpruKits however the level 3 Halo one took us about an hour,the kids were helping lots with this one.

The boxes themselves each had a very eye catching image on the front showing you how your finished product will look,that's another thing I love as so often the end result can look disappointingly unlike how you perceive it to by pictures....SpruKits however look just as awesome as the picture on the box when you have put them together.

I love how much detail has gone into all of the models,how great and accurate the costumes look,I love the stickers you add for extra detailing,I much prefer the level 2 ones over the level 1 mainly as there's a bit more two them and in particular the fact you could give proper poses,you could even bend the Batman at the knees...I will certainly buy more of the level 2 SpruKits for my son as I feel they are good value for money and he has loved playing with that one more than the level 2's.

level 1 SpruKits cost £8.99

level 2 SpruKits cost £15.99

On to the level 3 Halo Master Chief.-my personal favorite!

The Halo Sprukit comes with a staggering 161 pieces,priced at £49.99, ...but don't let that daunt you, it may of taken a fair bit of time but the end result was absolutely fantastic! It was by far in my opinion the best of the lot totally worth the money we have put it up on display and we really want to buy some more purely to go on display as this one is just so good! I think pictures speak a thousand words.

We all love the SpruKits and will be buying more from the range why not buy some too, go follow Bandai now to keep up with SpruKit news and other new products hitting the market.

Giddy Bowl Review

Giddy Bowl Review

With thanks to Lamb & Bear we received a Giddy Bowl to test and review.

We have tried and tested many of things in the past some have been good while others have turned out to be a total waste of money,as a mum of 5 you can probably just imagine how many products we have gone through!
Our youngest son Aaron aged 4 has global development delay,he has just been put forward for an assessment for Autism as a result of these issues he has poor control,will always drop or spill things hes a very fussy eater due to his SN but what he does eat he makes a mess with....that's where the Giddy Bowl comes in.

We received the Blue/Green colour variation,it comes with a snap on lid-perfect for when your on the go,it has built in handle grips for the baby/child's ease of holding.It also has a colander at the bottom,we haven't needed to use this part yet but its a great addition,my son has used the Giddy Bowl to hold grapes,crisps,raisins and cheerios but it has many uses!

My older son aged 8 certainly put the bowl through its paces and finally managed to spill some of the contents however we never had any spills with Aaron using it,i really feel like it gives him confidence as normally he will freak out when he drops some of his food from a bowl ect but the Giddy Bowl has completely eliminated that for us and for that we are very very grateful!

Giddy Bowl gets a 10/10 from us we love it and use it pretty much every day,and best part for me?....its so easy to clean!

Why not purchase a Giddy Bowl for yourself from Gr8 Solutions priced at just £9.99 in either Blue/Green or Pink/Yellow

Ethan's 8th birthday!

Ethan our eldest boy has turned the big 8!,he had a fantastic day or so he told us,he loved going to Weymouth Cineworld to watch minions,before having a tea party,pressies and watching Dino Time at home..

Some pictures of his day...

were off on a bug hunt

One of our kids favourite things to do is hunt for bugs,see what different types of flowers they can find and generally go and see the ducks so we decided to o all of that plus hit the park and the beach for some free activities as part of the Dorset sports and well being festival,the kids went on the bouncy castle while I played table tennis with our teenager....a great first summers day out trip with the kids....I hope you are all having lots of fun too...even better when its free!

Pommery Seafood Festival

Pommery Seafood Festival

11th and 12th July was the Pommery Seafood Festival,try new foods,have a chilled glass of wine or just get out and enjoy the atmosphere it is a the UK's largest seafood festival.

I wont lie We don't like Seafood I think battered cod is as far as we stretch to,as a child though I have tried mussels,crab sticks and cockles but over the years my taste buds have changed and I just can't stomach it anymore....we went for a nosy though to get the kids out fora walk and just take in the atmosphere,We had a really good day out even though we could barely move through the crowds with the buggy,sadly as a result of how busy it was I also couldn't get any clear gaps for pictures but as you can see from the pictures I did take there was lots of stalls that went right around and in front of the Pavilion forecourt too(not shown)....did you go? have you been before? tell me your thoughts below.....
