Review of Lego In & Around Town: Horse Stables by
mumsymary
Advantages: Good play value
Disadvantages: None
Lego in and around the stables is a good addition to the Lego collection for a horse mad child. This Lego build is a Duplo Lego toy so it's suitable for a child aged 2 to 6 years old. This of course depends on your child maturity and often a younger and older child will enjoy this toy. Duplo Lego bricks are larger than a standard Lego they are compatible two 8 stud Lego bricks fit on a 4 stud Duplo brick.
This Duplo collection has a horse stable ... ...are some green basic duplo Lego bricks and a brown brick, the brown brick has a picture of apples on it I guess it's really a box containing apples for the horses. A water trough for the horses to drink from too. The prize cup for the winning horse is silver colored. Then there is the farm cat too a duple cat to watch the actions.
There are enough bricks here to make a good home stable for the horses your child practicing their fine and gross motor ...

Cute wrapping paper!
Review of Lego Seasonal: Santa Gift Wrap & Tags by
ivytoad
Advantages: Great for Lego fans, looks good
Disadvantages: Just going to get ripped off! Could do with a few more tags
...this wrapping paper on the Lego website and couldn't resist getting it so I would definitely have some to wrap my Christmas presents in this year so that they look super cool! I am usually quite good with recycling, I keep wrapping paper from presents I have received so I can reuse it, but I saw this wrapping paper and thought it was so cute.
The wrapping paper costs £1.99. The wrapping paper comes in a plastic shrink-wrap and inside you get two ... ...The design is of a Lego Santa. This is a Lego Man with a red suit on with a red hat and a long white beard - basically Santa in Lego form! The Santa is printed on the paper in different sizes, and overlapping each other so that none of the wrapping paper is left without a Santa on it. I think this is a really fun design. The wrapping paper comes folded in the packet but these open up into really large sheets measuring 27.5 inches x 39 inches each. ...

Great creations
Review of Lego Creator: Mini Construction by
watkins11
Advantages: educational & fun
Disadvantages: very small parts, could be easily lost.
...much smaller than the duplo lego he is used to. However, he is digger mad so we decided to build it and see how difficult it is.
The grey box is sturdy plastic, covered in a green sticker with a clear picture of the digger on the front. The back has smaller pictures of the other two vehicles which can be constructed. The lid is green plastic and not very easy for kids to open, but nice and secure so your child can take it out with them. The age ... ...was dissapointed with. The Lego pieces do fit together very securely so the parts don't break apart too easily, good for playing with, but not so good when taking apart! Finger nails are very useful for this task, but this can be very fiddley on the tiny bits. (Not to mention annoying!) My son can dismantle about 60% before needing help. I do think my son is a little too young for this. Although he loves to play with it he definitely couldn't make ...

It's very colourful
Review of Crayola Colour Explosion Rainbow by
danielalong
Advantages: Craty idea
Disadvantages: None
Colour Explosion
A favourite craft activity at the moment, this is quite a simple idea but has been a hit.
The activity comes in a colourful plastic pack which makes it a good one to take away and carry around- no bulky boxes, so a useful holiday activity. On the pack there are full instructions and because it is brightly coloured, it does appeal to children who want to get "stuck into" the whole craft thing.
WHAT DO WE GET?
We tear open the ... ...book again with lots of bright designs on the front cover. All of the 20 pages are black, because it's onto these pages that we are going to magically draw rainbow pictures.
There are also 2 thick black pens with the word "Explosion" written clearly on them- I assume that this is so that anyone with other packs can differentiate between the pens and know what they are for. Open the tops and the thick nibs are white and can't be used on anything ...

We're going to the Zoo...
Review of Lego Duplo Zoo Sticker Set by
ivytoad
Advantages: Fun sticker set, colourful, cheap
Disadvantages: Stickers can't be re-used that many times
...old. I was on the Lego website and I saw that this 'Duplo Zoo Sticker Set' was reduced from £1.99 to £0.99 (which I thought was too much of a bargain to pass up!) I decided to buy it along with some other items.
The sticker set is from the popular 'Duplo' series. Duplo is like the popular 'Lego' series but for younger children, meaning that the building blocks are larger and the themes are maybe not as technical as the more 'grown-up' Lego. This ... ...the Lego website.
All young children seem to like animals and the zoo so this seemed like a fun sticker set to get. The set consists of stickers, and a background to stick the stickers to. You get six different animal stickers with the set. They are an elephant, a baby elephant, an alligator, a zebra, a lion and a lion cub. Along with these larger animal stickers there are also some smaller food stickers in the shapes of paw prints (you get five ...
