If your little one loves Barbie then no doubt she’s seen the movie and now wants the toys to match! The Chelsea and Pony Doll Set is one of the latest toys available, but is it worth buying?

The Pony is designed in a way that Chelsea can fit perfectly on the saddle to ride her. This adds a whole new element to the way your child will play with her Barbies, as we all know that adding in different characters or animals can make for whole new imagined scenarios in your child’s head.

The price of the set is in keeping with other Barbie offerings, and is quite reasonable given that the horse comes included. There have been no negative reviews and parents are all commenting on the fact that their daughters were absolutely thrilled to receive a toy that truly matches the movie.

So, if your child loves Barbie, and especially the movie, this really is an excellent choice of toy for her! And, if you’re stuck for other gift ideas, simply purchase additional items from the range.

How Lego was Born

In 1947, together with his son Godtfred, Kristiansen obtained samples of interlocking plastic bricks produced by Kiddicraft. These had been designed and patented in the UK by a child psychologist - Hilary Harry fisher Page. Lego began producing similar bricks in 1949, named "automatic binding bricks".




Lego - the children's toy comprising of multi coloured plastic interlocking bricks -was "born" in 1934 when Danish master carpenter and toymaker, Ole Kirk Kristiansen, combined the Danish words "leg godt" - which means "play well" - to form the now famous brand name.



In 1959 Lego was introduced to the UK, Belgium and France. The product was launched in the USA and Canada in 1961 and was an immediate success. Continuous development and the introduction of new ranges - often tied in with major motion pictures - has ensured that Lego remains popular today with the children and grandchildren of the first generation to get their hands on it.



However, whilst there can be no doubt that the wide and frequently updated product range is a major factor in Lego's ongoing success, and the marketing and web presence also help, the key enduring factor is that it stimulates children's creativity and appeals to their innate curiosity. The fundamentally educational nature of the toy, and the fun that it's use provides, means that it also receives widespread approval from adults.

There are product lines for all ages - starting from the youngest children whose needs are catered for by the Duplo range, the standard range and The technic and Mindstorm ranges for older children, teenagers and even adults. Themed sets exist for Pirates, Dinosaurs, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman, Bionicles etc.

7 Wonders Board Game

The 7 Wonders is a board game that brings competition to a level that requires planning and strategy. What makes this board game different, is that each round of play lasts no longer than 30 minutes. This fast pace will never be boring or repetitive, as each game brings different goals and outcomes. Let’s take a closer look to see what this board game has to offer.

Key Features

•    3-7 players
•    30 minutes of total play
•    Family game
•    A rulebook
•    1 score pad
•    20 gold coins
•    40 silver coins
•    7 wonder boards and cards
•    49 “Foundation” cards
•    49 “Growth” cards
•    49 “Apogee” cards
•    42 flag tokens
•    Ages 10-14

Is the  Board Game Worth Buying?

The object of the 7 Wonders game is raising a complete civilization in one of the greatest wonders of the world. Each player has a chance to be a leader of one of the seven ancient world cities. Each player is given the same task to gather various resources and create routes for commercial access to define him or herself as a military leader.

In order to create the ancient world, each player has an opportunity to pick one card that matches his or her goals. Once the player has chosen something, the pack of cards is passed to the next player. The speed of the game is what keeps everyone engaged for a short period of time.

There is one thing to be aware of, and that is all the cards are very thin, which can easily be damaged. To prevent this from happening after repeated play, you can either purchase card sleeves to protect the cards, or have each card laminated for long-lasting results.

One downside of the game is the rulebook – a number of players have commented on the fact that it isn’t written well. This has lead to a number of people playing the game wrong, but this isn’t too much of a big deal. Often families will invent their own rules for games anyway!

Overall, this board game does not have the means of becoming boring for anyone. Each game offers players a different opportunity to build a strong civilization. This board game also offers players different strategies to build the best ancient city, so it keeps things interesting.

It’s great having a game for kids and adults that moves along quickly. Not all of us have the time or patience for a 5-hour game of Monopoly! The 7 Wonders board game is certainly worth buying and will hold a proud place in your gaming collection.

Bontempi Toy Saxophone

Encouraging your child in music is one of the best ways to develop their creativity, coordination, and sense of rhythm early in their lives. These days there is no shortage of musical instruments to allow your child to play, but not many toy versions of instruments are available for younger children who may not be able to play bigger instruments. This is where the Bontempi toy saxophone is a great product. It’s not a real saxophone (those are LOUD!), but it does the job to allow young children to have a feel at playing music on their own.

Key Features

•    Elegant silver color
•    Has 8 keys that can play a scale
•    Includes instructions on how to play three songs (Jingle Bells, Oh Susanna, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
•    16.5 inches in length
•    Suitable for children aged 3 and up

Is the  Toy Saxophone Worth Buying?

If you buy the Bontempi toy saxophone, right out of the box you will notice that it has a realistic silver finish (though it is made of plastic) with keys that are color-coded to make it easier for the child to play certain notes. The saxophone is not an electric one, and does not require batteries or recharging to use. This means by giving a Bontempi toy saxophone to a child, you’d be giving him or her one of the closest things to a real saxophone, since sounds have to be produced 100% through blowing wind through the saxophone and holding down keys at the same time.

This saxophone was also probably produced with parents in mind, as it is not too loud or annoying even when a child plays it for long periods of time. An additionally interesting point about this product is that it is made in Italy, a rarity in the sea of made-in-China toys you often see today.

As for the drawbacks, there aren’t many when it comes to this brand of to saxophone. However, some parents have complained that the plastic that the saxophone is made of isn’t very durable, and can break easily if the saxophone is dropped hard or handled roughly. Because of this, it would probably be better to offer this to a child who already knows how to take care of their toys.

The verdict: The Bontempi toy saxophone is still a great investment for the right age group; it would have been more suitable for much younger kids if it was more durable. If your child is in preschool or of school age and will not likely break this plastic saxophone, then have no qualms about buying this saxophone for them, especially if they are starting to show an avid interest in music.

•    More than 3 feet in length and height.
•    Suitable for use by more than one child.



The KidKraft Uptown Espresso Kitchen is a child-sized kitchen, and looks just like a regular, functional one. Being in a scale suitable for kids, any child in the range of 3 to even 10 years old can play comfortably with this kitchen. It’s also spacious enough that more than one child can use it, so your kids can play together and cook some make-believe pizza or desert in their kitchen. This kitchen has almost everything that you can find in your own kitchen.

Looks-wise, this faux kitchen does not disappoint. The plastic “granite”, “stainless steel” and “dark wood” surfaces look just like those in a real kitchen; you’d be forgiven if you thought this whole kitchen is functional. All the moving parts such as the knobs, faucet and doors are sturdy, so you won’t need to worry about them breaking off too.

The only downside is that although this is a miniature kitchen, it is still quite large, being over three feet in length and height. It has many components and accessories that you need to put together, so be prepared to spend around three hours assembling it. Overall, assembling this mini kitchen is a straight-forward process, but if you don’t have much time, you can assemble it bit-by-bit over two or three days.
