BIC® KIDS drawing & colouring products review plus competition information

Bug loves to be creative especially with arts and crafts. He adores a wide variety of arts and crafts where he can let his imagination run wild. He is in his element when painting, drawing, collaging or making sculptures and 3D art.

With him having such a strong love of arts and crafts our house is brimming with craft accessories. As well as play-doh, paint, and craft accessories such as googly eyes and pipe cleaners, his arts and crafts collection consists of a HUGE range of crayons, pencil crayons and felt tips.

In spite of having crayons, felt tips and pencil crayons galore as he loves drawing and colouring-in more than any other form of arts and crafts he is always excited to try out new colouring utensils.

Much to Bug’s delight he was recently sent a selection of BIC® KIDS drawing and colouring products - BIC® KIDS Plastidecor® crayons, BIC® KIDS Evolution Ecolutions and BIC® KIDS Kid Couleur.

Bug is my little sidekick as we have fun adventures together and as I go about day-to-day life doing household chores and dealing with family responsibilities. My little sidekick is a very good boy, helping me do household chores and having a lot of patience as we do the family food shop and go to various appointments. Whilst he is very good at helping me and on his best behaviour when we visit shop and go to various appointments one place that he does not have a lot of patience and enthusiasm for is the bank.

To be fair I can completely understand why Bug is not very enthusiastic about visits to the bank as I deal with our family finances, in my opinion most banks tend not to be very family friendly and are not that interesting or fun for children.

As I have had to content with a number of visits to the bank with a child who gets bored and frustrated waiting for me to deal with the family finances I very interested to hear that Barclays aim to make life easier for families with their family friendly products and bank branches that hopefully are more favourable for children as well as being convenient banking.

To celebrate their campaign to make banking more family friendly and put their family friendly products and branches to the test, Barclays invited a group of Mumsnetters and their children to test-drive a Barclays bank.
