Review & Giveaway: So you want to build a human?

Review¦ I was recently sent a copy of ” So you want to build a human?” by Tom Jackson and Jan Bielecki. I’m genuinely impressed by this book and looking forward to writing this review. I think it’s perfect for children in late primary school and the first 3 or 4 years of secondary school to accompany their learning.

Beat That!: The family game you need this Christmas!

Review¦ Whether I’m gathering with friends or family at Christmas, we all enjoy playing a good board game! Now, Beat That! is a little different.

Review: Meet the cute colour-changing Pomsies Lumies!

Review – Gifted¦ I saw Pomsies Lumies when I went to BlogOn at the end of September. Their fluffiness and cute little faces instantly appealed to me, as well as their little unicorn horn and colourful manes. When I was shown how they light up to show a colour you touch them against, my mind was blown! There are currently 3 different characters to collect – and Sparkle Rush was the one who came home with me for Autumn and I to play with!
