Top 5 Educational Toys for Tweens

Posted on January 8, 2022September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products – updated January 8th, to add more toys.] When it comes to schooling, it is often hard to get children excited about education. Especially, when it comes to the age group known as tweens – we are talking 10 to 13 year olds, really. We have found that having toys and activities that have an educational spin on them, while not being directly learning, have kept Kai, our tween, more interested in spending his time doing educational. We have played with loads of educational toys, and found that there are tons out there to choose from.

Specifically, Uncle Wickes have a huge selection of toys, wither you are looking for toys for a picky teenage boy or looking to find something interesting to keep your kids away from the screen, there are many educational options. We have picked out the best educational toys for tweens, in hopes of helping you keep your child interested in education.

Republic of Cats Cat Food | Review

Posted on January 6, 2022September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Updated on January 6th, to add more information] Before ordering and reviewing Republic of Cats, I did not know much about the company. Over time, however, many people have stated that this cat food might be a re-branded, expensive version of Gourmet Cat. Though I have no way of telling, Gourmet Cat does have shares in the company, so it may be a similar product. Either way, these were my opinions and how my cat felt about the food. Gourmet Cat food is low in protein, and currently Republic of Cats does not have a breakdown of their cat food, so there isn’t an easy way to compare the two.

There are so many pet food brands out there and many of them are online! We decided to try one of the food subscription services, as Republic of Cats is a brand I have never heard of, and the Republic of Cats had a two week trial box for just £5, we wanted to see how Pancake got on with it! Republic of Cats allows you to put in a bunch of information on your cat, like the breed, if they are neutered, their allergies, weight and more, as well as what your goal is with your cat’s food. You can choose from options under weight management, fur/coat care, and health management support, as well as list any medical issues your cat has – which is great if you do need special food!

MEL Science – Polarized Light | Review

Posted on December 19, 2021September 3, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[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.

Tokyo Treat Crate – Fun box of Japanese Snacks!

Posted on December 17, 2021September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] We are a huge fan of snacks in our household and really do love trying new things to eat and enjoy. That’s why, these sort of snack subscription boxes, are really a good fit for us! As a family of 5, it is so much fun to snack on new flavors and foods, together, and explore what they may taste like. Tokyo Treat Crate is a monthly subscription box that has a different theme every month. These various boxes contain 16 different treats for you to test out and enjoy, all from Japan!

We ended up getting the Fruity Fall crate, which had lots of fall-inspired treats for us to sink our teeth into. The box, actually, was super loaded with treats. It took us quite some time of snacking to actually get through it, which feels like really good value for money. Even with the children wanting to try bits of everything and with packed lunches having some of the treats as their treats, it did take us a while before we snacked the box down.

MEL Science – Luminescence | Review

Posted on November 8, 2021August 27, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] As any regular readers will know, we’re happy to dip into a science-themed subscription box here. We’ve, most recently, just wrapped up the KiwiCo Tinker Crate, and so it makes perfect sense that we turn our gaze toward MEL Science, specifically their MEL Physics range; a kit aimed at a slightly older audience and specifically focused on decrypting scientific jargon into an accessible educational package. The first month we grabbed was based around Luminescence, and it was a fantastic example of MEL Physics’ boxes at their purest.

We ran into the MEL Science team earlier on in the year, while at an event. I was drawn to the stand by how professional each of the boxes on display looked. They had a simple, clear design, with one or two objects on the front, but a simple title down the spine. Each box was a single stark colour, giving them the look of classic school textbooks. The staff manning the stand gave us some simple demonstrations of accessible science but also introduced us to the App and the VR/AR elements that go hand in hand with their subscription.
