[Ad – Gifted Products] Fidgets have been a popular sub-genre of toys for quite some time now, and we’ve got so, so many of them! Yet, every single year, we see more and more coming out. Robin got some keyboard-style clicking fidgets at MCM Comic Con earlier this year and some Clickeez at Toy Fair, so was excited to discover the Clickeez Clickable Bubble Pops.

The Clickeez Clickable Bubble Pops is a five pack of these types of keyboard-style fidgets, but with adorable faces! There is an entire keyboard to collect, with different colored faces and a few types of keyboard points that light up or are tall, if you are able to collect them! This pack has three revealed keys, with each of the packs having a different three that you can see, and two mystery clickeez that are within the middle of it.

Robin had picked this pack of Clickeez Clickable Bubble Pops as there was an adorable, purple axolotl on the revealed area. I do think having blind boxes where you can also see some of the characters really helps with children who are easily disappointed, as they are picking out the ones they want and then having a few bonus ones!

Inside the mystery part, Robin got two more Clickeez Clickable Bubble Pops that she very much liked. These can be slotted together, through some little bits on the back, as well as taken a part so that you can rotate the faces on the front of the keyboard bit. Robin did struggle to get the keyboard backs to fit together properly and stay together – I wouldn’t recommend putting it on the little clip as more than one and putting it on a bag, as you will likely lose them.

The Clickeez Clickable Bubble Pops is indeed fun to click and tinker with – she’s been fidgeting with it for a few days now, and she does put them together in different formations so that she can play with them in her hands. I find them to be very adorable and feel that we will likely have more in the near future.

[Ad – Gifted Products] I feel like everyone has heard of and has played Pac Man. It’s one of those retro games that have been around for what feels like a lifetime! Pac Man is a simple game – there are a bunch of dots on the screen, inside a sort of maze. There are ghosts stuck in the middle, that make their way out and move around, sometimes chasing you, so that they can eat you! As Pac Man, you need to eat up all of the dots around the screen, including blinking dots that allow you to eat the ghosts for a few moments after you’ve eaten one, before they go back to normal ghosts or, in the case of being eaten, respawn. Sometimes fruit appears that you can eat for extra points. The Pac Man Plug and Play allows you to play this simple game on your TV, just by plugging in a HDMI-drive stick and a cable.

[Ad – Gifted Products] Robin is a big fan of her travel Yoto, which often finds it’s way into her travel bag and along to any sort of sleepover that she’s attending. As it’s a primarily screen-free toy, we let her have free range of it in her room and in her bag, since it’s not got connection to the internet or the like in a way that she can play it when she’s not meant to be on screens. Recently, after the new Moana movie which we saw in cinema, Yoto have released 5 Minute Moana Stories!

[Ad – Gifted Products] Donut Dunk is a light up, fast paced card game where you have a giant talking donut doing all of the moderating of the game itself! It’s a simple game to learn, a quick game to play, and it’s super engaging. Setting up for Donut Dunk is as easy as counting out some cards, putting the remaining face down, and then just keeping track of your own turn so that you don’t mess it up.

[Ad – Gifted Products] Every other Monday we have a board game afternoon at our local Geek Retreat, and this time, we played Snackaroo – which has really fantastic characters! I absolutely love claymation and clay art, I collect clay Pokemon Cards, so when I saw the box of Snackaroo, I really wanted to play the game itself. Robin and Amelia both agreed these were fantastic cards as well, so we were excited to play.
