[Ad- gifted product] World Book Day is right around the corner, so children all over the world are getting ready to dress as their favourite book characters! As an American who never had school uniforms, I always get excited whenever our children can dress differently at school, as a way to express themselves, and what better way then to be inspired by a book that has really stuck with them, to share that book with others. This year, Robin wanted to go as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, mostly because she thinks it’s super funny that the bug eats so much!

Celebrating Disney’s 100th Anniversary with their New Stuffed Toys!
[Ad- gifted products] Disney has been a name in everyone’s household, for so long! Long enough that we can actually put them into years – 100 years to be exact. Disney are celebrating this occasion with their new D100 Plush Collection, which reflects on the heritage of Disney and focuses on some of their older titles.

As she is six turning seven this year, she is in a weird place where she wants to read chapter books, but if they don’t have any sort of drawings, she gets bored with them quickly! The series of Tom Gates books are perfect for her, as they have little drawings on each page, funny fonts, and are just very engaging!

Flying high fun with ZipLinx
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to tweens and teens, they aren’t always the easiest to impress with toys. Kai is at the age where he doesn’t engage much with any sort of physical toy and prefers his computer. When I was his age, I was really into dominoes and ZipLinx reminds me of a more intense version of dominoes! ZipLinx are a bunch of clips that you slot together, then use a launcher to cause them to fly up into the air, exploding everywhere.
