Last week we received a huge box of goodies from The Mickey and The Roadster Races and Minnie's Happy Helpers range. We absolutely love Mickey and Minnie and already own a few of the toys as they were available to buy in America when we visited DisneyWorld in April. The toys were sent to us to help us co-host a twitter party on Thursday 10th August at 1pm, so if you want to get involved with the chance to win prizes look out for the #MickeyandMinnieToys and make sure you are following PlaydaysRunways. For now I just thought I would show you some of the range so you had an idea of what to expect on Thursday. 

The first thing you will notice is just how colourful the range is. The colours are bright and bold and definitely eye catching for the little ones. The range by Flair and Just Play is aimed at 3-6 year olds and prices start at just £6.99

Mickey Roadster Racers Talking Tool Belt

Set up for the tool belt was very easy. We popped in the batteries (which were included), popped it round little J's waist and he was ready to play. 

The tool belt has loops and pouches to hold the tools. The drill spins when pressed and the the tool belt also includes a tyre air pressure gauge, motor oil, funnel, wrench and screw and sockets.

Minnie's Happy Helpers Bag Playset

The Happy Helpers bag is perfect for any Minnie fan as it looks just like hers. The bag includes a lights and sounds phone, a bracelet with charms, a pretend passport and holder, pretend boarding pass and stickers.

The bag is ready to use as the batteries are included. The bag opens up and fits everything inside plus more as it is a good size.

Mickey Roadster Racers Pit Crew Tool Box

The tool box is perfect for any wannabe Mickey. It's chunky and sturdy and includes 23 pieces which is amazing. The mallet is a favourite as is the nuts and bolts. 

Ideal for mending and fixing. 

Minnie's Happy Helpers Boutique Cash Register

The Boutique Cash Register is ideal for pretending you own your own shop. The till has a real working calculator, hand scanner, money, credit card and realistic sounds. 

Again batteries are included in the box.

Minnie's Happy Helpers Shopping Basket

The shopping basket is a great addition to the Boutique Cash register. It includes play food which is well made and I know will last. Also some of the pieces can be cut in half with the knife included.

The baskets handles are also strong and again I know will last when we are playing shop.

Mickey Roadster Racers Musical Microphone

The microphone plays the Mickey theme tune whilst the lights flash. Again includes batteries so was ready to play.

*****

What We Love

The range of toys are so bright and colourful.

Made of strong chunky plastic that will last

Batteries included which is such a relief - there is nothing worse than when your children wants to play with a toy and you need to pop the shop for batteries. 

Realistic items perfect for role play

What Could Improve

Nothing, we love the range.

Review - My Summer Wear From JD Williams

No comments

A few weeks ago I was asked if I would like to review some clothes from JD Williams. You wouldn't believe how excited I was because usually it's the kids who get to try out lots of different stuff but mainly because I can't remember the last time I bought myself new clothes. I do have all the intentions of buying clothes for myself but usually walk out with a trolley or basket filled with clothes for the boys. The joys of being a Mum. Anyway I made myself a cup of tea and went browsing on their website. There was a lot of choice but I managed to narrow it down to just 3 things, which did take me quite a while.

Casdon Baby Huggles Car Booster Seat Review

Disclosure - We were sent the products below for the purpose of this post. All thoughts, opinions and photographs are our unless stated. This post contains affiliate links. 

As the boys are now off for 6 weeks there will be plenty of opportunities for us to go on day trips which involves a lot of car journeys. I try to make the car journeys interesting for the boys, we play games, sing songs but mostly they just want to play on their devices. Little J always brings two cars with him and his teddy wherever we go. When we were offered the chance to review the Casdon Baby Huggles Car Booster Seat I thought it would be a great addition to our car journeys as now teddy would have somewhere to sit. 

The Casdon Baby Huggles Car Booster Seat is a perfect role play toy but more importantly it promotes safety. Little J loves popping teddy in to the seat and instantly fastening him in. The seat has a 3 point harness secured by a pair of hand shaped buckles. Little J has always understood the importance of putting our seat belt on in the car. He will always remind me if I haven't buckled him in  before we head off on a journey. Now he is doing the same for his teddy which is so cute to watch. 

The car seat can also be used as part of role play inside the home too. Little J often pretends the sofa is a car and he is driving somewhere far away. 

The car seat can fit a doll or teddy up to 46cm, it has a padded head rest and arm rests too. It looks just like a real car seat. 

What We Loved

Realistic Role Play Toy

3 Point Harness ensures dolly or teddy is safe

Promotes Car Safety

Fits dolls up to 46cm

What Could Improve

Would be nice if it came in another colour. Little J absolutely loves pink but I know some boys don't.

The Casdon Baby Huggles Booster Car Seat is available in most good retailers and Amazon. To view the Casdon Baby Huggles range you can click to visit the Casdon Website.

A few weeks ago Daddy and I headed to London for the day. We got the 6:45am train and was in London by 9am. I had booked us tickets to see Wicked at the The Apollo Victoria. It’s not a musical I had wanted to see before but Daddy really liked the sound of it so I booked them for Father’s Day.
