The Fabulous Little Britain

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: None

...It is hard to believe that it was as long ago as February 2003 that the digital/freeview channel BBC3 first ran a pilot episode of a new comedy called Little Britain. The response was fantastic and the creator's Matt Lucas and David Walliams were commissioned to write a full series of eight episodes, which were first broadcast on BBC3 in the September of the same year. Following on from this success it was then re-run on BBC2. What is it all about? The Little Britain series is basically a collection of short sketches, which feature the same characters from one week to the next. Each character creation is very unique and you soon get to know their peculiarities and catchphrases. It is these individual characters which make the programme what it is, as it is these people that you soon grow to love. Little Britain works as...

DON'T MESS WITH ME - I'M A LITTLE NINJA!!!

Advantages: Teaches good skills; learn through play
Disadvantages: Not enough one-to-one tutoring

...I don?t know what it is about four year olds, but if they are all like my son, they should have the ability to bottle the excessive amount of energy they seem to acquire at this age and sell it on E-bay. They would make a fortune! My little Matthew eats like a sparrow, hasn?t got an ounce of fat on him, yet is on the go all the time. In fact, he would put the Energizer bunny to shame! Don?t misunderstand me: I am very pleased that he is a normal, healthy little boy who loves running around, jumping about and climbing, but a few weeks ago, I decided that we needed a little help to get rid of that extra bit of energy that he always seemed to have... just before bedtime! In addition to his bundles of energy, Matthew has now also reached the stage where he is trying to test his boundaries by not always doing as he is told. I must...

Learn with Little Bear

Advantages: Beautiful illustrations
Disadvantages: Thin pages

...Little Bears Numbers Learn with Little Bear As my young daughter loves books I am always on the lookout for new books for her to ?read?, or more aptly for her to look at the pictures and listen whilst I read to her, though I also look out for books that could possibly help her read or learn in the future. I came across a four set of young learning books for a cut down price of only £1 per book (£4 for the set) which was a great price as the RRP price of these books were £4.99 each. I have seen these books for between £1.00 and £4.00 on Amazon too so you are able to get them cheaper most of the time. *************** JANE HISSEY *************** Jane Hissey, the author of both these little bear books and also the better known Old Bear books, was born in 1952 and studied design and Illustration at Brighton. It wasn?t until after...

Little HUGE planet

Advantages: lots of cutomisation and variety
Disadvantages: havent found any yet.

...Little Big Planet has had a lot of mention around the internet over recent months. Mostly, if i'm honest i ignored it all. Then a few days back I finally caved into it all. Not for me though, oh no, of course not. I bought "Little Big Planet" as a Christmas present for my wife, that turned into an anniversary present instead as I was itching to see what she would think. Its worth noting here that my wife has never been a gamer. Not in the normal sense and certainly not like me. She's your average girl. She enjoyed the sims and quite enjoys playing on the Wii when she goes to her friends, but that's about it. I tried, rather foolishly to get her into gaming a few times over the last few years, but it only lead to her swearing at the computer/games console and giving up, frustrated and irritable. However, i knew full well that she'd enjoy...

Perfect Little Paste

Advantages: cleans teeth well, fresh breath
Disadvantages: None

...Personally I have always had a problem with my teeth, this stemmed from having no enamel on them, as a result of this problem I have always tried to get good products for my boys to use. This one is the latest which I found and used with them. ~~THE PACKAGING~~ Aqua Fresh Little teeth is a toothpaste which has been designed for children ages 4-6. It comes in a standard toothpaste tube but it stands up on end with the lid being the bottom. The tube is white and has a picture of a white and red striped ?person? on the top holding a red banner with the recommended age group in and below this in bright coloured lettering is the product name. The back of the tube has all of the relevant information about the tooth paste, including, directions for use and ingredients. The tooth paste if I remember correctly does come in a white...

Fun for little tikes!

Advantages: Bright and fun
Disadvantages: Bit small

...This Little Tikes Activity Gym is great for young children and creates a fun environment which is also safe. The activity gym comes in a large box which contained all the parts. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Looking at the gym all you needed to do is slot in the pieces. This was true as the pieces did have to be slotted together but getting them together was the hard bit. You need someone strong who can force the sections together but at least the instructions are easy to follow so you don't go wrong (imagine having to undo it and reassemble it!). The activity gym is brightly coloured meaning more fun for the children. Be warned that the colours do not remotely blend in with any surroundings so don't be alarmed when you have this bright coloured object in the middle of your garden. The slide is quite short which...

A hug for your little swimmer

Advantages: stops leaks when swimming
Disadvantages: could work out pricey long term

...My family aren't really big on swimming but ever so often when we're on holiday or during a trip to the beach it's fun to take a dip in the water and have a splash around, as toddlers my children have always enjoyed playing in water, including a tiny paddling pool in nanny's back garden, but before they were toilet trained there was always a certain dilemma, do you let them go nappy less and hope they behave or use a regular nappy that's likely to swell up as soon as it hits the water, of course when it comes to swimming pools these aren't exactly an option and so there is really only one choice- swim nappies. Huggies Little Swimmers are disposable nappies designed specifically for use in the water, shaped like pull up nappies with no Velcro tabs to do them up, they have stretchy sides which give a more comfortable fit for your little...

Big Cook Little Cock!

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Wierd presenters

...Big Cook Little Cook...... Big Cook Little Cook is a programme that is aired on the CBeebies channel and is aimed at pre-school age children. The show has two presenters one big cook names Ben and a small cook named Small. (Of course, he is not actually small in real life but they have got an average sized person but filmed him so he appears to be about 5 inches tall). These two cooks own a cafe where different characters come to eat different types of food. They have characters from al the major fairy tales and of course on their Christmas show Father Christmas came to eat in the cafe. The programme is a little like a cookery show for children but a lot of adult help is needed. Also a lot of the food that is made i should think is not overly nice as it is a bit of a mixture of things put together to make something suitable...
