YoYo Panda Review & Giveaway

AD 

Back in the May we visited Edinburgh Zoo for my three year old daughters birthday, ever since we visited and she seen a real life panda she has been a little bit in love with them. So imagine her utter delight when she was sent a very cute and huggable YoYo Panda to review. 

YoYo is extremely adorable, I think anyone who sees her will fall in love with her huge eyes and very cute design. Her fur is super soft and even though she is an interactive toy she is still very squishy and cuddly, perfect for little ones to snuggle up with. She comes with a bottle, that you can feed her with and some bamboo to eat.

* Pikku Morpeth and Gosforth have both now shut down *

Regular readers will probably have noticed that we have reviewed Pikku the children's hair salon and clothes shop a few times now. Sophia reviewed the Gosforth store a few month after it first opened, Jacob also visited for his very first haircut . We are huge fans of Pikku and I do pay to take my children to get their haircut when we are not reviewing as they love it. 

Recently Pikku have expanded opening up a new store in Morpeth, Northumberland and we were recently invited along to see what we thought. The store is located on Newgate street right in the town centre. You really can not miss the store as it is located in the signature Pikku colourful lime green and white style. 

Wickey Flip Sandpit Review

Wickey is a brand that specialises in children's garden play equipment such as Climbing frames, swing sets, wooden playhouses and of course wooden sandpits. We were sent the popular flip sandpit, which comes with a clever hinged lid that turns into a bench for children to sit on whilst playing in the sand.

 The sandpit arrived flat packed in a rather small box and I was dreading building it as I thought it would take forever however it only took about an hour.
