MP3 player for children – step up the SanDisk Sansa Clip+
My boys have all had MP3 players for a year or two now. They love them – and we love that they love them. But we were initially concerned about spending a lot of money on something they’d no doubt lose or break inside 3 weeks, so we bought the cheapest we could find (£7 max). When they worked, they were ace, but all too frequently they freeze or crash, or batteries need replacing, or the music needs updating as they...
Prescription Swimming Goggles – So Worth It.
Another item that found its way into the bags when LittleStuff went to France were these prescription swimming goggles. No.1 son wears glasses you see, and has always been slightly more cautious in the water than his swimming ability would dictate. Being similarly optically-challenged I do understand – it can be very intimidating, particularly in a large or busy pool, emerging from the water and not having a clue where you...
Childrens sun lotion – Nivea’s Swim & Play
When the nice people at Nivea noticed we were soon to be headed on a family holiday to France (from the brilliant Keycamp) they wrote and asked if we would mind awfully trying out their new ‘Swim & Play’ sun lotion, designed specifically for busy summer children. Crossing the vat of sun lotion off my boots order, I quickly replied that I supposed I could be persuaded, and so it was that a tube of Nivea’s Swim...
Spotted! Playhouses. Oh, my, what Playhouses.
All children love a good playhouse, don’t they? Me, I had a blanket over my Mums clothes horse in the middle of the grass in the summer – or a blanket over the dining room table in the winter. And it made me very happy. I do remember a friend who had a real live Wendy House though. Oh, the envy. My boys are all keen for a tree house – how good they would be, how little trouble they would be, how many chores they...
Safe childrens headphones – fab!
Finally! Headphones actually designed with children in mind! I won’t let mine wear the in-ear buds that came with their MP3 players, but I still worry that without constant monitoring (and often with it) they’ll have them up too loud and damage their ears. So when JVC contacted me about these new specially-designed 3+ headphones with correct sizing, lightweight super-soft padding AND noise limitation, I jumped at the...
Cheeky Wipes – Reusable baby wipes (Really?) review
We gave our intrepid reviewer Keris the fragrant and enviable task of the Cheeky Wipes Reusable baby wipes review, seeing as she has a small boy with a lovely appetite (and we all know what THAT means in the nappy department). Now Keris’ reviews are always worth a read, but this one has to be my favourite all time review… “I was a bit apprehensive about these wipes. Who could be bothered with reusable wipes?...
