My daughter and I were looking forward to going to Andy and Mikes Tick Tock Time Machine. I love spending quality time with my girls, though it is rare that I get to spend one on one time with them. The show therefore made for a lovely treat for my eldest. I think she loved having me all to herself for the day. I wanted to take my youngest too, but as the show said from 3+ I decided not to. We set off early and my daughter was very excited in the car. As we settled into our seats in the theatre she became very interested in what she could see in front of her.

The show started with a bang. Full of energy, straight into audience participation and lots of fun. My daughter grinning from ear to ear, I knew she was going to love it. The pace of the show continued as it had started. Jokes, audience participation and general great fun. My daughter loved it, and so did I. This show is what I call great traditional family entertainment. It took me back to my childhood, spending time with my Mum watching pantomimes and theatre shows and laughing so much. We both loved it.

Personally it did not matter to me that I had seen Andy on CBeebies and not Mike. The two make a great team, are full of energy and are fantastic entertainers. They generally feed off each other and you can tell they love performing and entertaining.

I am still on a bit of a buzz from the show, it has to be said. My daughter in the car on the way home kept saying, I do not want to go home, I want to go see Andy and Mike. She would not stop talking about the time machine and told her Dad all about it. We both had such a lovely time and I am even thinking about taking her again. After watching the show I also know that my youngest, at 16 months, would also really enjoy it and so I will be taking her next time.

I cannot recommend Andy and Mikes Tick Tock Time Machine enough. My daughters face above and how she keeps talking about Andy and Mikes Tick Tock Time Machine shows me how much she loves it. I would love to see the Tick Tock Time Machine as a TV series and would really love to see Andy and Mike work together on CBeebies, they are a great entertaining duo. I have joined the Facebook page, to get Mike on CBeebies and would love it if you would too.

This day I love Tick Tock Time Machine

I was given 2 adult and 2 children tickets to attend Tick Tock Time Machine, this is my own thoughts and opinions.

Its national play day today. Play day is held on the first Wednesday in August and is a day used to celebrate play and the importance of play in a child's development. It is through play that a child develops new skills. It gives them a chance to be creative and use their imagination. A chance to practise new ideas. A way to explore the world around them.

The girls were in nursery today as I had to work. I picked them up and we made the most of national play day. Whilst I try to make the most of every day with the girls today I wanted to do something extra special. I asked them what they wanted to do.

My eldest first declared that I had to lie down, as my tummy looked poorly and she needed to make it better

I was then instructed to lie on my tummy so she could listen to my heart, why through my back I don't know. I was then told to lie very still and she went and made medicine on her play cooker. After I took my medicine, I was given a clap and was told I had been a good Mummy so now I could play. Love her imagination at work.

We decided to build some towers. My eldest likes to build towers and she likes to talk about the different colours. We also count how long the towers stay up for and the number of bricks.

My youngest approach to tower building was much more laid back

Although she soon picked up when we started making them fall over. She could not stop laughing and kept clapping her hands.

My youngest had so much fun it was lovely to watch her so happy. She then started putting the bricks back in the bag which I took as a sign she wanted to do something else. She pointed at her coloured rings and so I got them down from the shelf so we could play. The girls played together stacking the rings in different orders and it was lovely to watch them.

My eldest pretended that the rings were a birthday cake, I think because its her birthday soon, and kept singing 'Happy birthday'. She would then fetch a ring to us and say 'have some cake'.

We read some books and had lots of cuddles, before it was time for some singing. We sang lots of our favourite songs, one of my eldest is sleeping rabbits. We all put on our rabbit ears and hopped around. This picture was taken by my eldest as we were playing.
