Peppa Pig Grow and Play Pot | Review

[Ad- gifted product] Robin is a really big fan of Peppa Pig. She enjoys watching the show on Netflix and we’ve also got a couple of toys – she even used to have Peppa Pig bedding. Earlier in this year, we reviewed the My Fairy Garden Fairy Garden set, which did belong to Amelia, but Robin really loved helping out with it and really wanted to be involved. She’d keep going out to check on how the grass was growing and would play with the little characters that came with it. Ever since then, we’ve been growing plants and such through some of the nature box subscriptions we do, and she has really enjoyed watching flowers grow, and planting stuff together. When we came across the Peppa Pig Grow and Play Pot, we were excited to see what Robin would make of having her own little garden set.

Willow & Wild November Sibling Box | Review

Frankly, I think I am just going to start writing about these Willow & Wild boxes each month, as they are a fantastic time. This November, the box had three main activities along with the normal information cards and recipes. The children really enjoyed this box – Kai has taken to some science boxes and has been doing them instead, while Amelia and Robin have been really enjoying the box, nature and the activities that come with it.

A Day Out at Marsh Farm Halloween Festival

We returned to Marsh Farm, where we had previously gone to pick pumpkins, for their annual Halloween Festival – an impressive event which has a lot more going on than any of us expected.

Even though the days seem to be getting shorter, and the temperature keeps dropping, it’s more important than ever to make sure that you get out of the house when you can. We’d already travelled to pick pumpkins at Marsh Farm’s impressive Pumpkin Village earlier in the month, and while there we noticed that there was actually much more to the place than a village shop and extremely well laid-out and decorated pumpkin patch. We spotted an entryway reminiscent of theme park booths, and what looked like a carousel. We had to go back and see the whole thing – so we set a day aside and headed there on a quiet Sunday.
