Christmas Gift Giveaway - Simply Fancy Dress

Whether you want to be the belle of the ball or let the little ones have fun dressing up as their favourite characters and superheros, Simply Fancy Dress have something to meet every taste and budget.

The Gruffalo is a well loved story in our home and we were thrilled to received the costume to match - Jamster rushed to put it on straight away and got in to the role! Made from Polyester it's comfortable to wear and easy to clean, you can just pop it in the washing machine with the rest of your laundry.

We received age 3-5 and this fit Jamster (aged 6) just right so there is plenty of room for growth and years of fun to be had. You can pass it onto siblings too as it's a tale that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

It's superb quality and it has all of the Gruffalo features mentioned in the story...

" He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws."

"He has knobbly knees and turned-out toes, And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose"

"His eyes are orange, his tongue is black; He has purple prickles all over his back"

There is a Velcro opening at the front so children will be able to dress themselves with ease and elasticated straps to the feet and hands for a better fit. Jamster had no issues getting in and out unaided. The costume is very durable and as well as fun at home it would be great to celebrate World Book Day in March! - There is free delivery included too.

Christmas Gift Giveaway - WOW Toys

With the Mr being a HGV Technician Jamster has a love for everything vehicle related, especially trucks, so the Tow Truck Tim and Rolling Ray from WOW Toys was the perfect parcel to arrive in the post!

Included in the set is:

1x Motorised truck called Tim
1x Detachable trailer with car winch
1x Car called Ray
1x Girl mechanic figure called Meena
1x Boy driver figure called Ben

The magnetic winch connects to the car and pulls it onto the truck with ease - by holding a green button on the trailer. The winch connects to all of the other cars from WOW toys which is great for those with a collection of their products for your child's rescue missions. To release the car you can pop down the click opening tailgate and press the red button and watch as Ray rolls back down ready for action.

The figures are chunky which is perfect for little hands to grip and it's nice to see the mechanic is female and the driver male for a bit of role reversal.

No batteries are required which is always a bonus and the Friction-powered motor on the truck allows it to drive along by itself while the car has moving wheels for push-along fun.

The windscreens on both the car and truck open to allow access for the figures and with realistic engine sounds it helps to stimulate your child's senses and develop motor skills. The toy also helps to develop discovery and leaning skills, social interaction and encourage role play and exploration. Although its suggested as suitable for children aged 18 months - 5 years Jamster is 6 and loves playing with it! It is brightly coloured and has 13 functions to keep your little one occupied for hours.
