Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Brilliant Sansa Fuze+ MP3 player
There’s no escaping it – an MP3 player is an essential part of any child’s life from the age of 5 or so. But the trick is finding which one, isn’t it? It needs to be robust enough to handle living with a ham-fisted child, but sophisticated enough for them not to fling it into a drawer in frustration. We have spoken before about how much we love the Sansa Clip Zip, but my second son is at high School now, and...
Review: SanDisk Extreme® USB 3.0 Flash Drive. Stop YAWNING, it’s good!
I would like to tell you how fabulous this little USB stick is. How fast it works, how sturdy it is. But sadly I can’t. Because I opened the pack, put it on my desk, and it disappeared. Quicker than you can say STICK it had vanished into the clutches of a grasping teenager. “Oh aces, thanks Mum, I totally need this to get my I.T. in tomorrow” And so it was gone. Oh I have seen it again. When it has been dutifully...
The Best ‘proper’ MP3 For Children – the SanDisk Clip Zip
A couple of years ago we reviewed the Sansa Clip+, which my boys use and which we loved. Well, here we are, 10 days away from driving to Paris (*squeee*) and woe of woes.

Nightmare. I can do nothing but wait for the cycle to...
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...
Pictures by Bear… Kids Tough Digital Cameras #MyKidsPhotos
We’ve had the Fisher Price Kids Tough Digital Cameras on review – ostensibly for Jolly, who at 6/7 is just too young (and ham-fisted) to trust with a proper camera. But as much as he loves it, as soon as he puts it down it is picked up by Bear. Well, it’s supposed to be tough enough to handle a toddler, so we let her to see what would happen (in the interests of serious reviewing of course, and nothing whatsoever to...
