Aquadoodle Super Rainbow Deluxe

Let your creative imagination go wild with the new Aquadoodle Super Rainbow Deluxe (RRP £20.00) from Tomy. The toy supports STEAM learning as it allows children to be creative and develop their artistic skills.

Simply fill the Aquadoodle pen with ordinary tap water, run the nib over the magic mat and see the colours appear!

Any water that does run off the mat, runs clear. No mess, no stains, nothing to worry about. As your drawings dry, designs fade away, ready for the mat to be used again, over and over again. When you need to, just refill the Aquadoodle pen with water and go again!

Included in the set is a special paintbrush that lets you make broader strokes, as well as three stampers for added mess-free fun.

BRIO Wooden Baby Toys - Rattle Kit and Magnetic Train review.

As we love wooden toys we were delighted when we were sent some wooden toys for Jelly Bean to enjoy.

Our baby boy was sent the BRIO Rattle Kit (6+ months) and Magnetic Train (12+ months).

Renowned toy brand BRIO who at 130 years old are the world's leading manufacturers of wooden toys that are timeless, high quality, durable, educational and fun have an extensive range of wooden toys for little ones.

Lil' Ocean Explorers.

Having loved renowned, multi-national children’s toy manufacturer Little Tikes for a number of years now from when Bug was a baby, it was only natural that when we had Jelly Bean that we would keep an eye out for Little Tikes toys for him too. As we love Little Tikes and want Jelly Bean to enjoy the high quality, durable and engaging children’s products they make we were delighted to hear about their new range of toys.

Lil’ Ocean Explorers is the new range of Little Tikes toys that as well as being made for lots of fun are designed to help develop the motor skills, confidence and coordination of little adventurers.

To celebrate the new range of Lil’ Ocean Explorers toys which were developed over a number of years and put the range through its paces, Little Tikes teamed up with independent child development and play expert Dr. Amanda Gummer; here is what she thought of the range - “I believe play is the key way for babies and toddlers to develop and the Lil’ Ocean Explorers range is all about encouraging motor skills by having fun. The colourful characters capture attention so children are achieving milestones without even knowing it!” 

With an ocean theme the new range consists of 8 adorable sea creatures, all of which are designed to help little adventurers discover, learn and have fun.

The Lil’ Ocean Explorers range consists of the following toys –

* 3-in-1 Adventure Course (RRP £79.99) suitable for 6+ months
