[Ad- gifted products] Blind bags are something that every brand seems to have now-a-days. There is a lot of wonder in opening up sections and finding some sort of mystery there. Recently, we have gotten more into blind bags, as the children find it really fun to discover what toy it is! And, so we were really excited to get our hands on some Harry Potter Mystery Capsules! We had a Series 1 mystery capsule tucked away in a bag, so decided to see how the capsules have changed from series 1 to series 3.

Chess Teacher is perfect for those who are new to the game

[Ad- gifted product] The game of Chess is one known to be a bit tricky. There are lots of different pieces, all with their own movements and ways about them. This barrier to entry is something that everyone struggles with, especially when new to the game. Kai has been particularly interested in Chess, as his friend plays quite a bit of it, and even joined an after school club, but the rest of us aren’t as knowledgeable in the game. When we got Chess Teacher, we knew it would help both us remember the movements and Amelia learn to play without hesitating as much.

MEL Science – Polarized Light | Review

[Ad- gifted product] It’s been a while since we wrote about the last science kit that we did, the Luminescence kit from MEL. This time we sat down with the MEL Science Polarized Light kit, another box from their MEL Science Physics range, a range that’s designed for a slightly older audience than a lot of the kits out there. As I said previously, the range is really professionally made, with a clean minimalist box design and that carries through to the instructions as well.

We actually use the included instructions and keep them afterwards, but the fact that there’s a well-designed app that goes alongside the range is really cool; not only does it talk you through each experiment but it’s also needed in order to access the extra, complementary experiments that come with each box. It’s worth noting that there’s also some cool VR stuff that you can do with it, extra activities and learning, and also there’s a way to chat to the box creators about the experiments if you wish. It’s really thorough.
