This day I love.......

We love wooden toys.  There is just something so special about wooden toys.  May is Casdon Wooden toy month and to celebrate we have been testing out their wooden kitchen set.


The wooden kitchen is bright, colourful and comes with a whole range of items.  Everything from pots and pans, to pizza and egg.  What makes this wooden kitchen unique is that all the items can be stored inside the oven when not in use and then carried with the handle on the side.


The oven door is really easy to open, yet remains closed when carried.  The attention to detail is beautiful with the paintings continuing inside as well as on the sides.


There is minimal set up required so play can start straight away.  


The girls love the wooden kitchen set.  My youngest has even carried it to school as she enjoys playing with it that much.


The wooden kitchen set from Casdon is really beautiful.  There are some great finishing touches and attention to detail that make this wooden kitchen set something special. 

Thanks to Casdon for sending over the Kitchen set, all words are my own opinion.

The New The Lumber Loading Set from Brio is perfect for imaginative play.  My youngest daughter has been really keen to open the box and begin playing


Inside there is the classic wooden track you would expect from Brio, along with a forest worker, his multi terrain vehicle, timber, Special lift and load vehicle with magnetic arm, lumber wagon and tools.  

My youngest wasted no time in setting up the track.


The track is extra special because it has mountain pieces and a long bridge.  This makes it different from the norm and creates a wider play.  My daughter loved that this worker could fit in the car, and as it was a car she used her imagination to drive it both on and off the tracks.  She was also impressed that the chainsaw fitted easily in his hand.


She went in search of leaves that looked like trees for the forest worker to cut.  There are wooden trees in the box but she did not want to pretend to cut these


After cutting up the wood the forest worker used the magnetic arm to load the wood onto the back of the truck, before transporting them. 


My youngest made up lots of stories and loved the magnetic arm and the swivel action on the transporter.  

The Brio Lumber Loading Set is recommended for ages 3 and over, it is really bright and colourful and incredibly well build.  My youngest loves to make up stories playing with it and it is great to listen to her imagination.

With Christmas just around the corner, I have got myself organised (well sort of) and almost finished my Christmas shopping. I thought I would give you a sneak peak at what I have got the girls for Christmas.

The first thing on the girls wish list was a dolls house and a fairy castle. I do love wooden toys, there is something about them. I decided to look around for a good quality and reasonably priced dolls house and fairy castle. I came across George (Asda) wooden toy collection and was simply taken away. Every item was beautiful.

A member of the family has very kindly got them the dolls house and furniture, they look simply stunning and if the quality is the same as the two items I have got for the girls are going to love them. I have got the girls the princess castle, which to me is the same as a fairy castle, and a pirate ship.

The wooden pirate ship is really easy to put together, it slots together like a jigsaw but is much more sturdy. It comes with 2 pirate figures, 2 cannons and a treasure chest as well as the boat. Given it is priced at £25 I think this is a bargain! I love the details on the sails and that each part of the pirate boat is easily accessible. Both my girls love pirates and whist this is a present for my youngest, it will be something they can play together.

Wooden pirate ship

The princess castle was easy to assemble but it was time consuming. You do need a screwdriver and there are quite a few pieces to put together. Once it is together it is very sturdy and there are so many different play options. You can access all aspects of the castle, front, sides and back and so play can take on many forms. The windows and the doors open and there is plenty of space on the balconies for play here too. The details on the castle are beautiful, butterflies and flowers. A piece which is sure to last the girls for years to come.

Princess Castle

I cannot wait to see the girls faces on Christmas when they open the pirate ship and castle. I also cannot wait to play with them with it and watch the magical stories unfold.
