We were recently contacted by Mattel in order to try out their awesome Hot Wheels Track Builder System – Power Booster Kit. Although Biggest doesn’t like many traditional toys, I knew he would be fascinated by this one. Since he was very small he has been obsessed with all things transport-related – particularly in reference… Read More
Buying gifts for autistic children can be quite a difficult task, particularly if you are a family member that doesn’t see the child every day.

Children on the autism spectrum differ greatly, and so generalising… Read More

WOW Toys have often been a big hit in our house. Biggest has always been exceedingly fond of anything with wheels and the first few toys that he loved to line up were a mixture of WOW emergency vehicles and other cars and trucks.

Both my children are now at an age where holidays and seasonal events like Halloween mean so much more to them. There’s so much fun to be had at this time of year, especially if you have children. There are Halloween crafts, art and other activities, parties, decorations and, of course dressing up and trick-or-treating… Read More
The Teletubbies have been the subject of a fair bit of criticism in their time – both in the original series and their new incarnation. But there is one reason I will always love them; for those twenty-eight or so minutes, both my children are completely mesmerised. I can have a hot drink or load… Read More

For us, autumn is a season when time suddenly becomes much more pressing in our lives. During the Summer holidays, the days blur into one another. Saturdays and Wednesdays have the same feel and atmosphere, the same activities; the days tumble into one another, indistinguishable. Then, all at once, we are back on a tight schedule –… Read More
