Unicorn key chain
A little princess figure
Cute little pink cat ring
An orange felt tip pen
Next out of the Zuru party bag we have the new
Cotton Candy Cuties
This new toy from OOSH is by far my personal favorite.
The Cotton Candy Cuties look like giant lollies and Inside each of them there is a blind bag containing a slow rising cutie.
(Watch our video below to see)
The blind bag is covered by the scented squishy fluffy slime which you can stretch and stretch for miles and then store it back in the lolly to be enjoyed with over and over again.
Last but not least we have a Tangle which you can twist shape and fidget with
We have 5 in our collection now and we love connecting them all together to make one huge tangle.
They are great for car journeys and I can guarantee that I will always have one of these in my car at any given time, just in case.
What I love most about all of these toys is that they are perfect party gifts.
You can watch Lydia from Lydia Dreams Big unboxing them for you so you can see for yourself the quality of the toys and also value for money.
When my eldest attended primary school, they didn’t participate in world book day like the girls school do an. Making costumes and being creative is something I was excited to do as a mum.
For Lydia’s first world book day the theme was to dress up as an animal from their favorite book.
I wanted something different that no-one else would of thought of.
I trawled online and an outfit in particular jumped out at me from the book Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell, there were no others like it.
It was perfect and best of all it was easy and cheap to recreate.
What you will need:
My sister had a monkey dress up costume so I borrowed that from her Or you could pop down to your local George, Tesco, Primark and pick up brown leggings and a top from there basic range for a couple of quid.
You will also need an A2 piece of card, I brought this in red because I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of painting it. It cost me about £2 from The Range.
A piece of plain white paper.
Scissors
Pritt Stick
A piece of ribbon
Brown eyebrow pencil or face paint
Ruler
The majority of what you need is probably laying around your house anyway. It took me 10 minutes to make and it was done.
The next day I was more excited than her to go to school to see all the children (and adults) costume and she was the only one from Dear zoo. We was also very happy as she had won best dress up in her year group which was awesome considering this was a very last minute idea.
I wanted to share this with you as you could also go on to expand on this and be any of the other animal from Dear Zoo, not just a monkey. It opens up a wide range of unique little costumes you can recreate from other books. Just follow this concept and think outside the box.

Which Scruff-a-luvs Blossom Bunnie will you rescue?
Lemon Drizzle, Posey or Peppermint?
Lydia and Emily received a limited edition blossom bunny and they couldn’t wait to reveal which one was in the box.
What is Scruff a Luvs Blossom Bunnies?
Blossom Bunnies are little plush bunnies that are squashed up in a small ball. To rescue them you will need to give yourScruff-a-luvs a nice bath to wash out its matted fur, dry them, brush it to fluff it up and then give lots of love.
In the Box
you will receive;
Mystery Bunny
Flower headband crown
Scruff-a- luvs flower headband
Adoption certificate and instructions on what to do.
We got PEPPERMINT
After a very exciting reveal, the girls got straight into bathing Peppermint.
Next step was to dry our scruff-a-luvs Blossom Bunnie.
This part was a little time consuming as it took around 20 minutes to dry using a hairdryer, however, Peppermint was very fluffy once she was dry and brushed.
The last thing to do was to officially adopt our Scruff-a-luvs Blossom Bunny. Lydia took the opportunity to fill out the adoption certificate herself and sign her name.
Now all they need to do is LOVE their little non-scruffy Scruff-a-luv. Which is the easiest part.
Peppermint has also been going on adventures with us which you can check out in our video below
We all had so much fun with this product and I especially love how its a toy that does not require any batteries and involves lots of physical play. It also teaches children to be kind and love all animals by rescueing them and loving them.
Scruff-a Luvs Blossom Bunnies are Limited edition and available to buy at all good toy stores They Rrp for £19.99
Scruff-a-Luvs is a proud supporter of the RSPCA.
