Batman kid

Advantages: son loves it
Disadvantages: velcro fastening

...with the picture of the batman symbol on. The suit comes complete with a face mask, with an attached cape, my son never wore it much as he does not like things covering his face loll, and this has now been lost, although he did sometimes just put it round him and lift the mask up onto his head just so he could wear the cape. The suit is made of 100% polyester, and does state on the label sponge wash only. I would really stick to that rule as my ...
...but it did ruin the batman symbol on the front, which is now fading away in places. Never trust a man to do the washing loll. The suit is still used by my son, but it is slightly damaged now. The suit is fastened from the back using several Velcro strips. I am forever having my son coming up asking me to refasten his suit as it is coming undone, and as its at the back of the suit, someone else has to fasten the suit for them so maybe a zip would ...

Review of Batman Costume

Barbie…Still Plastic and Falling Apart

Advantages: It is pink...Im struggling to find anything else...
Disadvantages: Low durability, poor quality...shall I go on?

...the photo straight from the Argos website, this little jewellery box looks stunning in its bold pinks and gold though the reality of this tiny jewellery box is very different. The box is a lot smaller than what it appears, standing at less than 10cm tall without the mirror which adds only an extra 8cm when opened up. Its width only just reaches 12cm and depth just over 8cm. These measurements are not on the item page and so from the beginning is ...
...item can be found in Argos for £16.99 normal price, with just over £3.00 discount at the time of writing leading up to Christmas, though at either price I would say that this box is vastly overpriced for what it is and to be perfectly honest, I would not pay more than a couple of pounds for use as a play box for older children. **************** MY OPINION **************** Obviously, everyone has their different opinions, though by looking at the ...

Good for Kids

Advantages: Bank staff won't know it's not real
Disadvantages: Cops will

This 47 is fine for kids but if you're looking for a realistic Kalishnikov this is not for you. Far too many inaccuracies to be called an Avtomat Kalishnikov 47 but paint your face brown, wrap a towel around your head and you'll look the part. I cant comment on the whole product as I've not seen it. From the picture though I can say that this representation of the 'K' is not that realistic. The magazine is too stubby, the 'wood' hand grip is proportioned ...

Tiny Kitchen for Tiny Children

Advantages: Colourful and the right size for very young children
Disadvantages: Flimsy and low value for money

Bubble Cook Mini Chef Kitchen Tiny Kitchen for Tiny Children We wanted to buy my daughter a kitchen for her birthday and being only small, we didn’t know whether the larger kitchen toys would be too big for her, so when we saw this Bubble Cook Mini Chef Kitchen in Asda for half price at £15 instead of the usual £30 we jumped at the chance. On the box it looked great and we felt that it would be perfect for our daughter. ****************** PACKAGING ...
...which is a little misleading to the actual size of the toy. Unfortunately we didn’t come equipped with a tape measure on our visit to Asda, so had to guess what the measurements were – and me being me, got it slightly wrong. The measurements are on the box in smaller print at 49 x 28.5 x 66.5 cm which I knew was small though I didn’t realise just how small until we got home though by then it was too late to do anything about it as we had left it ...

Review of Mookie Bubble Cook Kitchen

It's not Poppy's…It's mine (well my daughters actually!)

Advantages: Grows with the child
Disadvantages: No longer available at ELC though readily available online

...it originally came from the Early Learning Center. I can not find this online at ELC now so I am not sure whether they are still selling it, though you can guarantee that it wouldn’t be cheap from there. I have found this bag on Amazon for as little as £0.50 and also on Ebay for ranging prices from £0.99 to £6.00 so do look around. It seems readily available quite often on Ebay from both new and used. *********************** FINAL WORD *********************** ...
...for a little girl. It is of soft material and not very heavy and acts as both a toy which helps the child dress in the case of the doll, as well as growing with the child as a soft cute bag as they are older. My daughter really loves this bag and it often comes with us when we go out, filled with a few of her toys. It is not very big so you can not fit too much in it, though my daughter certainly tries! I would certainly recommend this soft toy to ...
