Something different from all the Interplay products we’ve reviewed so far, the Make an Electric Dragster kit was a new challenge for us. Aimed at children aged eight and over, this was something I thought maybe Louis and his dad could spend time putting together and trying out. What actually happened was that I ended …
This month we are reviewing Interplay’s Paracord Survival Wristbands, part of their Fab Lab range. These are recommended for children aged eight and over, so this activity was something Louis and I did one night after Rowan had gone to bed. Louis turns eight in two weeks and I would be inclined to agree that …
We’ve done a series of reviews lately on Interplay’s My Living World range, and our latest is Ant World. We enjoyed Worm World and Rowan’s entire class were able to benefit from the Butterfly World kit we sent into school. Bug Safari brought the boys and their friends some great, muddy, creepy-crawly based fun and …
I’ve always found the life cycle of the butterfly to be amazing. When Interplay asked if we’d like to try out their Butterfly World nature study kit I asked my youngest son Rowan if he’d like to take the kit into school and share the experience with his friends. Butterfly World is part of the …

30 Days Wild As a family, we are big fans of the outdoors. We love to explore new places, learn about our natural environment and see the boys appreciate the wonder of the natural world. Next month we are taking part in #30DaysWild, an initiative by The Wildlife Trusts designed to encourage families to get …
There haven’t been all that many opportunities for us to go out walking these past few weeks, what with the bad weather and me not taking to the first three months of pregnancy very well. So as soon as the weather perked up a little bit last week and I started to feel more human, …
