Making the slime was so much fun and very easy to do. The girls chose which colour slime they wanted and poured the powder into the shaker. Then they chose which confetti they wanted and added it in. Finally, all they needed to do was fill it to the line with WATER!! pop the lid back on and give it a good shake, leaving it to stand for 5 minutes after.
Now all you need to do is personalise your shaker pot using the stickers included.
It really is as simple and easy as that.
Once you have finished with the slime, pop it back into the stylish carry case to keep it all together. The kids love getting it out and playing with it over and over again. The glitter shines through beautifully making it really pretty to look at and you can hide the little figurines inside your slime to make it even more fun to play with.
Absolutley. This particular product is priced very fairly at £14.99 and there are a variety or different kits available to buy at different prices. The minimum age recommended is 6+, however my nearly 4 year old loved getting involved creating her slime, so with supervision younger one’s could do this too.
Reveal your Baby’s secretMy daughters are 3 and 5 and love anything that comes in a blind bag which they can collect I would however recommend you use a waterproof surface i.e a tablecloth when you do the reveal as my girls got animated when they found out the genders. The babies fit perfectly in little hands, their arms and legs are adjustable so they can sit as well as lay flat and their heads can be moved side to side.
These little bundles of joy can be purchased either as a single pack or in a larger activity pack. Kids love blind bags and there are 50 of these to collect. The single packs come with a plastic bath tub with the baby inside the blind bag along with a birth certificate to fill out once you have revealed his/her secret and a collectors guide. These retail at £2.99 which I think are great value for money and a great incentive for kids to earn pocket money for.

There are 4 activity packs to collect – Pram pack, Rocking horse pack, Bassinet pack and high chair pack. In each of these packs which retail at £12.99 there are 2 babies, a bathtub with another baby in a blind bag, 3 birth certificates and a collectors guide.
In the collectors guide there are 4 groups in which the babies are found in. Common, Rare, Ultra Rare and Limited Edition.

The babies are all wearing white nappies so you dont know if they are a girl or boy, to find out and reveal the surprise you fill the bath tub with water and sit the baby inside. The nappy will either turn pink or blue and now you know what gender your baby is so you can fill out his/ hers birth certificate. Each baby has individual features such as hair colour, eye colour , skin colour, facial expressions and each one has their own big personality and you get to name them yourself on their Individual birth certificates.
(This little one is dressed in a chef hat and oven glove)
Lydia said “Aww they’re adorable” and Emily said “They are cute Babies and I love them.”
Baby Secrets are available to buy at all good toy stores, to find out more you can visit the Baby Secrets HQ or check out there Facebook page.

Lydia is 5 and she is the most girlyest girl I know. I came home after BlogonX with this little Fingerlings monkey friend for her to play with and she was beyond excited. She treats her like her little baby and she even has her own space on Lydia’s bed, she kisses her goodnight before she goes to sleep and when she wakes up in the morning.
We have the NEW two-tone Monkey Fingerlings, it stands 6inches tall and has a little sprout of soft blue hair. The on/off switch is located on the back of the monkeys head so if it starts to annoy you, you can just switch it off. The battery compartment is located inside the monkeys back and takes 4xLR44 which come included.
When switched on you are greeted with a ‘Hello’ and some cute monkey noises, her head turns side to side when she’s making noises and her eyes blink to give it that realistic feel.
You can swing your monkey upside down or let her hug your finger and it will respond with different sounds, She responds from being touched and knows when she is being hung upside down. I have heard her blow a kiss, whistle and I am pretty sure I just heard her fart which made us all laugh, in fact when you put her down she will make noises to let you know she is still there awake and wanting to play before she gives in and starts to snore.
The Fingerlings Monkeys have over 40 different animations and we haven’t heard them all yet. Il leave that bit for you to find out because you can WIN your very own Two-Tone Fingerlings monkey right here.
