[Ad- gifted products] The springtime in the United Kingdom is a mix of sunny days and rainy days, seemingly at random. We are a big adventure family, so as soon as parks make sense to go too, we do spend a lot of time outdoors. With that said, whenever it rains, we do have times indoors. Robin, the most adventurous of us, is one that is hard to entertain when it comes to sticking inside. Unlike her older siblings, she isn’t one to sit in front of the Xbox or a computer for very long, so we tend to have a few toys on hand for her to play around with! Wicked Uncle has so many great options, sorted by age, but here are two toys we love to play with on rainy days!

[Ad- gifted product] When I was a child, I have a distinct memory of saving up money to get my own set of BloPens, from a TV infomercial. I wasn’t actually 18 years or older, so couldn’t purchase it in the end – but now I can live vicariously through our children, who have had a couple of different BloPens sets in their lives! Currently, Robin and Amelia have been enjoying the BloPens Fantasy Set.

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to imagination and building toys, there are quite a few different ones out there. Our entire house is obsessed with Lego, with each of our children having their own boxes and shelves to display their creations. With that in mind, when I saw Plus-Plus, I knew that everyone would really enjoy these building shapes, and that the compact size of them meant that we could actually take them on adventures and on holiday!

[Ad- gifted products] SuperThings is a series of toys that take everyday objects and turn them into characters! There are two new toys; the SuperThings Turbo Ice and the SuperThings Pizzacopter, which have been Robin and Amelia’s first look into the toy series. Both of these characters are extremely cool, with the Turbo Ice being based on an ice-cream motorcycle and the Pizzacopter being based on a pizza helicopter!

[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.

My youngest memory of Disney happens to be around Winnie the Pooh. When I was very young, I had a cassette player and a Winnie the Pooh cassette which told a story about Winnie the Pooh and on the flip side had a story about a soldier who found Winnie the Pooh, a black bear, and kept her as a sort of army pet. Winnie ended up living as a mascot to this troop, until one day he moved to. The idea of having a pet bear and this bear traveling throughout the world, was something I found super interesting and comforting.
