If you are a regular reader of the blog then you know I am a big fan of wooden toys, so when the team over at Hape got back involved to try out their Scoot Around I immediately said yes! A lovely 4 wheeled foot powered rider, the Scoot Along is designed to help develop your childs core muscle strength and balance. The idea being that the more strength and confidence they gain, the longer they can ‘scoot around’ until they are ultimately 4 wheeling free!
We’ve been extremely fortunate that we have recently been asked to review a number of wooden toys and grow our collection. In this weeks Tried and Tested Tuesday I am taking you through one of those toys and am reviewing the Noahs Ark Playset by Hape.
We were recently given the opportunity to review some wooden trains from the Hape range; more specifically the Jungle Train Journey Set and the Lucky Ladybug and Friends Train. I’m a huge fan of wooden toys and try to grow out collection whenever the toddler permits it. She does however have a real love for trains so I knew immediately she would enjoy these. Added to the fact that some of her favourite animals were involved – a lion and an elephant – I was sure it was going to be a winner.
I have a 2 year old a 10 month old so needless to say we are a family that are big fans of toys and are are always on the look out for something new. This is when we came across The Storytellers from Toyella.
We were recently contacted by Kidloland and asked to review their app which is designed for toddlers and pre-schoolers and covers a wide range of topics. Think nursery rhymes, stories and activities surrounding a whole host of topics such as animals, fruit and vegetables, vehicles, numbers, shapes the weather etc.
THE REVIEW
At first I will admit I was hesitant; the Bear is only 2 years old and we try and limit her screen time but to be honest she knows what the iPad is and one of her favourite things to do is navigate around YouTube and watch video after video of songs. Anyone else ended up in the position where they were singing Baby Shark for days? Well that’s us, so I knew this app would be something that she would love and I wasn’t wrong!
