No No -- Dont take my DOUGH!

Advantages: Easy for children to play with adults
Disadvantages: Dough messy if it gets on the floor

...3 modelling tools 3 rapidough plungers Box of 500 word cards. Players have to be in teams of at least 2 people and you can play with two or three teams. Each team selects a colour and has the dough, mat, tool and plunger to match the colour. One person on each team has to be the modeller. A card is selected from the box and all the modellers look at it. When everyone is ready the each modeller has to use the dough to enable their teammates to guess ...
...correctly wins the round and has the pleasure of stealing a lump of dough using the plunger from each of the opponents coloured dough and putting it back in their pot. The sculptor changes each round. As the game progresses the lumps of dough get smaller, I have been known to try and produce a Starship Enterprise from a piece about the size of a kidneybean! Regardless to say I wasn't successful! The game is usually quite quick, about 30 minutes a ...

Review of Rapidough

Mummy Look at my Drawing - too late it is gone!

Advantages: No batteries needed
Disadvantages: A bit big

...last week I spotted the Tomy Megasketcher in Tesco's for £10 which I thought was a very good price, I had been looking for something to keep my son occupied in the car and this seemed ideal. The megasketcher is made out of a strong sturdy plastic, it is blue and orange in colour and has a very handy carry handle at the top of the board. A megasketcher is a magnetic drawing board which is filled with iron filings, when your child uses the stamps or ...
...I liked was that once he was finished with the stamps he could just place them back into their slots so that he didn't lose them. Age 3+ No batteries needed You can purchase extra pens from Tomy for £3.50 Price - £10 in Tesco ...

Review of Tomy Megasketcher

Slushy little penguin

Advantages: Makes great slush puppy type drinks
Disadvantages: Cannot be used by children on their own

...are pretty pathetic! Remove Party Penguin’s hat and put the ice cubes into his body, which serves as the ice chamber. Replace his hat and press it down, whilst turning the crank handle in a clockwise direction. When ice cubes are completely ground, take out the spoon and open the ice drawer. Take the ice pieces out of the drawer with the spoon and put into bowls. Take the cap off the penguin plastic bottle. Fill it with whatever flavouring you ...
...rinse the inside of the party penguin with clean warm water. Not dishwasher safe!! A nice little set, has good novelty value and our one has had a good few uses in it’s year of living in our house. Amber loves it and likes to make her own drinks with the help of Mum on a regular basis! I think it's easier to shove some ice into my Kenwood Chef liquidiser but I am a party pooper :-) ...

Review of Party Penguin

My daughter is disappointed

Advantages: It looks lovely and sounds fun
Disadvantages: It just doesn't work

My brother bought this machine for my daughter for christmas 2004. She was delighted with it and i have to admit i thought it sounded like fun. How wrong could i be? Putting the machine together is easy enough, and i thought we were on to a good thing! Then i realised the chocolate had to be grated, so i stood for half an hour grating enough chocolate to go in to the chamber. "Don't use boiling water, only warm from the tap". "Ok," i thought, ...
...the chamber and i filled the outside with warm tap water, then there is a handle to pull up and turn, thus stirring the chocolate in the chamber which is supposed to take about 10 minutes to melt. 10 minutes later, the chocolate was not melted. 15 minutes later, still not melted. So, i say "lets tip out the water, which is now cold and i'll put boiling water in from the kettle". I do this and 10 minutes later the chocolate is still not melted. ...
