As you may know Lamb was chosen to be part of the Big Jigs Play Patrol this year. Which is amazing because he absolutely loves his wooden train track.
So far we have reviewed figure of eight track which is lovely, and the perfect set for a gift or to start a collection.
Growing up we always had pets. My very first pet as a child was a black cat called Toby. Then we had Chloe, and then Cooper. Cooper was my best friend. She was in my life for nearly 20 years (she had a good innings didn’t she!) and I adored her. We had an amazing bond and she showed me how special it is for children to grow up with pets.
Lamb has been been going to the zoo regularly since he was a newborn so has grown to love all animals, big and small. His first pet was a black cat called Mowgli. We lost Mowgli when Lamb was about 6 months old and it broke my heart (Lambs first word other than dada and mama was cat).
If you’ve got a Bing fan in your family then this Fisher-Price Sula’s House might be the perfect Christmas gift.
We don’t buy a lot of big toys usually. This is mainly because we don’t have a huge amount of storage for them. Having said that, Lamb thoroughly enjoyed reviewing it so I think it’s time we allowed more larger toys in the house!
As soon as Lamb saw the toys he was really excited to start playing with them. He enjoys watching Bing, more than I realised actually, as he knew all of their names!
Lamb turns 4 in March and has a really good imagination. He makes stories up with his toys and is really comfortable playing on his own. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly he started playing with the characters and enjoying this toy.
The toy comes with a bed, slide and toilet which is great for creating stories while playing. There’s even a button that makes a little puddle appear in the bathroom! Whoops Bing didn’t make it to the toilet!
I definitely think this is a great toy for a child aged around 3+ years, who can sit and imagine scenarios and stories. Having a few different character figures means your little one can play with their siblings or friends.
Like the Skateboarding Pando, there are lots of additional Bing toys you can buy to grow their Bing collection. You can take a look at more here.
Do you little ones like Bing?

With Christmas fast approaching it’s time for me to start sharing Christmas gift guides on the blog. I love doing shopping style blog posts. They always seem popular with my readers and, well, I love shopping!
I’m sure you all know about Sainsburys half price toy sale they had last week. I’m not sure if it’s ended, but it’s worth heading to your local store to find out if you haven’t been already. There were some amazing bargains!
I picked up a few things for Lamb to try save us some pennies, plus he’s pointed out a couple of things recently so I wanted to get them while they were fresh in my mind.
If you’re stuck for ideas to buy a 3-4 year old, then take a look at what we picked up.
Every kid loves Playdoh and as we have an Avengers fan in our house I knew these Avengers Can-Heads would be ideal. Lamb already has some of this range including Hulk & Iron Man, and Captain America & Spiderman.
Lamb is also loving fire trucks at the moment so I also grabbed this Play Doh Town Fire Truck to add to his Play Doh collection.
This will probably get a lot more use than other Play Doh sets I’ve bought as he will most likely play with the fire truck on its own too.
Lamb has a new obsession with Blaze and the Monster Machines and keeps asking for the Blaze Jet. This one wasn’t half price, I think it was 25% off. It was still cheaper than other stores so I grabbed it.
Something Lamb keeps asking for is a Thomas train set. He’s got plenty of wooden track but as he gets older he seems to be more drawn to the Thomas sets. I managed to get the Trackmaster Busy Quarry for £20! He’s going to love this. I’m probably going to ask family members to buy other sets to put with this one.
Lamb loves these Super Hero Mashers and has a few already including Wolverine and Hulk. He saw the Captain America Masher in Sainsburys a while ago, so when I found it in the sale I got one for his stocking. These are fab as you can mix and match the parts and change the heads, legs etc. Keeps him happy for a while!
So that’s what we have bought for Lamb to put under the tree. Hopefully he doesn’t find them before Christmas!
I’ll be doing lots more Christmas gift guide over the next couple of weeks, so keep checking if you’re looking for ideas.

When I was asked to review the Blaze Fire Truck I actually didnt realise who Blaze was. I just saw the big red truck that transforms into a fire truck (2 things Lamb loves at the moment) and knew we could easily review the toy.
The parcel arrived and I waited for Lamb to get home from preschool before we openedit. As soon as he saw his new toy he shouted “it’s Blaze!” My husband and I looked at each other slightly confused and thinking “who?”.
Turns out Blaze is a cartoon on Nickelodeon. A channel we don’t watch. However we realised it’s on Netflix so Lamb must of seen it there, but we no idea when, as neither of us had seen it before.
Lamb was so excited and began driving it around the living room straight away.
Once we looked at it further we figured out how to transform it from a monster machine into Fire Truck Blaze, where we found the button for the sounds and flashing lights.
As you can see the truck is a decent size so will withstand lots of playing. Which is a good thing, as Lamb seems to like chucking this around the house!
Suitable for ages 3 and up, this is the perfect gift for any vehicle loving child, whether they watch Blaze and The Monster Machines or not.
