The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Yellow Genius of The Sort & Store Lego Head.
These Lego storage heads are just a brilliant idea – even by Lego standards. What’s the age old issue with Lego? That one complaint that we all have about this modern toy-majig? The tidying up. I’ve seen parents restrict the child to keeping the Lego in one tray to ease the tidying… but where’s the creative fun in that? The alternative, of course, is not only risking serious Lego Foot injury by allowing Access All (floor)Areas,...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – *whispers* Skylanders… (Please don’t tell Boy)
Top (and bottom, and a few times in between) of Boy’s Christmas list this year is the Skylanders game. Oh, how he LONGS for one.

I did borrow a friends original Zumba game, but found the steps hard to learn – the sensor was very forgiving, and as long as I was moving it said I was doing fine, but I wanted something that would actually teach me the Merengue, y’know (Yes,...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Tag Reading System
Oh how we love love LOVE the Tag reading system! Right from the very early days, when it was in an enormous plastic folder that was bulky and horridious to carry around, we have owned at least one – thankfully they have got smaller and cleverer over the years! The latest pen (in classic green and also purple – which thankfully isn’t pink, though it is called that) holds up to 10 books at any one time – toppety top...
