The day Matilda met King
Henry.
Written by Jonathan Reed
Never
before have toys and educational toys crossed over in such an amazing way! As a
primary school teacher who knows all too well how difficult it can be to engage
children in topics which they have no real interest in, I couldn’t wait to meet
Matilda. When
she arrived I was amazed by her life like appearance, however it was her
clothing which I really loved, but not as much as my 4 year old daughter. She
comes dressed in the most beautiful authentic Tudor dress, with hair that can
be styled to suit any occasion. |

Raining???? kids board???? Why not get the jigsaw puzzles out.
James and Iona have a new set of jigsaw this week. James and Iona are both Octonauts fans, so for them this was good choice of puzzle for them.
Each Octonauts puzzle has characters from the huge Cbeebies TV show. The Puzzles are 25,36 and 49 pieces. the Dimensions are 18 x 18 cm
If you have a child aged 4 + then they will love this puzzle. It is good value for money £6.99. And lots of fun! James and Iona spent ages making up the puzzles and then when they were done, they took them apart and started it again. |

Very happy to see the film and the toys set out. Both me and my children are all fans of the films. We already had a few of the play figures, so we were very please to get the figures from the new film.The toys have been made by the company FLAIR, there are 10 figures in the collection. Each Figures has 12 points of Articulations, and can be played with on the Queen Anne's Revenge ship.
The Figures are are just under 4 in tall. And highly detailed. Each of the figures come with its own weapons. |
