The Magical Underwater Activity Book

There has been a trend for unicorns and mermaids transpiring for a couple of years now and I don't see it disappearing any time soon. My children at least (and myself) still love anything that has that sort of theme. The Magical Underwater Activity book embodies that theme. 

Discover the magical & playful merpeople of a secret & mystical underwater kingdom!

This is the second activity book which has been created by Mia Underwood. I was lucky enough to review the first last year.

Keeping Active With The LeapBand

You may remember a couple of months back that I wrote a post introducing one of the latest products from LeapFrog, the LeapBand and I promised you guys a review

Well I'm happy to tell you that we have been putting the LeapBand through it's paces and I'm finally ready to share with you all what the girls and I made of it.

For those of you that haven't heard of the LeapBand yet, let me give you a little more info :

It is the first wearable activity tracker for children, designed to not only get them learning but to keep them active whilst having fun too. It combines virtual pet play with physical activities and even doubles up as a watch!!

We received the LeapBand in pink but it is also available in green, blue and orange as well, making it suitable for boys and girls.

Introducing the LeapBand

You may have noticed the shiny new badge on the side of blog. I am a very lucky lady because I have been chosen to be part of LeapFrogs blogger panel this year. This means I get to tell all you lovely readers all about the latest releases coming from LeapFrog and bring you some fantastic reviews to let you know just how good they are!!! First up is the LeapBand. 

I will be receiving the LeapBand for review in a couple of weeks but for now I thought I would tell you a little bit about what it is and just what you can expect!!

LeapBand is the first wearable activity tracker for children. 

It has been designed to get them active and learning about healthy eating habits whilst still managing to have fun.

It combines personalised virtual pet play with physical activities.

It also doubles up as a digital and analogue watch.

There are 50 different activities and challenges which track your child's movements, the more active your child is, the more points they earn with their virtual pet. Whilst earning points they can also unlock additional games, challenges levels of play and virtual rewards for their pet!!

Scooting About Town

As a treat for the Summer holidays, Daddy Hazelden and I decided to buy the girls new scooters as their previous ones were not only only getting a bit old and tatty, they were also a little bit too small for them now, what with all the growing up they keep doing!!!

This was also a great excuse to go for a nice bimble about town in the glorious sunshine that is still gracing us with it's prescence.

My little Gracie is getting quite brave, when she first started scooting she didn't actually scoot, she instead just walked along pushing the scooter beside her. Just look her in action below though :

And just prove how clever she is, she even managed to lift her other foot off of the floor. Not a huge achievement to most people but I was definitely one proud mummy!!!

Now Elise and Freya are old pros on their scooters now so they decided the best way to have fun was to race each other. Freya started off in the lead but her older sister sped past her and claimed victory!!

       

Little Layla is still a tad too young to be scooting about town so I carried her on my back so she could watch everything that was going on over my shoulder and of course this made great exercise for mummy too :)

So how do your kids travel about town, do they love to scoot or are they more a fan of riding a bike??
