Over the
summer 99p Stores have been running a competition for bloggers with the chance
of one lucky winner winning a shiny new iPad.
99p Stores challenged 50 bloggers to have a 99p Summer and see how much
fun they could have over the summer with 10 products from the 99p Stores. For the 99p Summer challenge they gave each
blogger £10 in vouchers to spend at their stores to buy whatever products they liked
to have a fun 99p Summer.
As we are
champions of having fun for free (and for very little money) and using your
imagination to have lots of fun I was keen to take part in the 99p Summer
challenge and have lots of fun with Bug with the 99p Stores “quality products for
under a pound”.
Heading to
our local 99p Store I was surprised by the variety of products all under one
roof and all under a pound. As the
weather had been up and down I decided to get a variety of products that would
allow us to have fun regardless of the weather, with products for both indoor
and outdoor fun.
We bought –
* Red ball (Bug
was disappointed there was no blue there but was happy with red in the end).
* 4 pack Cool
Crush drinks.
* Baby’s
first words book of Numbers.
* Chalk
board with chalk and duster.
* Pack of 10
twistable crayons.
* Multicoloured
pad of paper.
* Pack of 2
bubble wands.
* A kite.
* 2 X Water
jumbo guns (I was not letting Bug have a water gun without having one to defend
myself…..plus I’ve got to have fun too!!).
We got all
of our summer goodies for under ten pound…..all for a brilliant £9.90!!
Football
fun.
Bug is
just like his daddy and loves playing with footballs. He has had lots of fun playing with his shiny
new 99p Stores ball, kicking and throwing the ball about in the garden, on the
beach, in the fields, in the park and on country walks…..anywhere and
everywhere he can have football fun.
Bubbletastic
fun.
Bug has
loved playing with bubble wands, blowing bubbles everywhere and then chasing
the bubbles down in an attempt to catch them in his hands or burst them with
the wand. The bubbles have kept Bug
entertained for ages at a time and he is now obsessed with making bubbles.
Reading
fun.
Bug loves
books and loves his new book of numbers which has become a firm bedtime
favourite. He is now a little obsessed
with the book as it features lots of cute teddies in a bed and he loves
teddies. He adores pointing out all the
different teddies to me, telling me all about the different teddies as we read
the story of 10 in a bed and loves the repeating ‘roll over, roll over’ line
from the book.
Water gun
fun.
Bug has
delighted in soaking mummy numerous times over the summer with his fab new
jumbo water gun and has giggled in delight at getting soaked himself when mummy
retaliates.
Kite flying
fun.
Bug has been
overjoyed watching the colourful diamond kite soar in the sky, shrieking as the
kite flitters off into the blue sky.
Chalk
board fun.
Bug loves
drawing and apart from a few times at a mother and toddler group he has never
really used chalk before. He loves his
new chalk board and chalks and has spent many an hour lost in his own little
world drawing on his new board and then delighting in the fact that he can
clean the board with the duster (unfortunately the duster was cracked when we
opened the packaging and I had to remove the plastic holder as it would have
cut his hands but he has still been overjoyed using the sponge by itself). As Bug has loved his little chalk board so much
over the summer I think I will have to buy him a double sided easel with a
chalk side for Christmas so that he created many more chalk masterpieces on a
larger scale.
Drawing
fun.
Bug has
had lots of fun drawing and creating mini masterpieces with his new bumper pad
of multi-coloured paper and his funky new twistable crayons. He was very intrigued by the twistable
crayons to begin with and now loves them for his creative sessions making
beautiful pictures for when daddy gets home.
The only problem is that at the rate my mini Picasso is producing his
masterpieces I will have to go back to the 99p Stores very soon to stock up on
more crayons and paper for him so that he can carry on unleashing his creative side
and flourish artistically.
We have had lots of fun this summer with our 99p Stores stash and I know there is lots more fun to be had with most of our 99p Stores goodies.
Looks like great value!
