With Christmas around the corner it felt like the right time to look at some fun gifts for your small children. So my small children got lucky and got to play with a few things early to let you know what to put under the tree this year.
Mini U Bath Toys
What Is It:
Since 2010 Mini U have been creating good clean fun with a range of no mess no stress bath actives. Created around a cute cast of sea creatures these colourful bath bombs, crayons, bubbles, shampoo, fizzy plops and more add fun and excitement to bath time. They’re made in the UK, good from birth, vegan cruelty-free and free from gluten soy and dairy – with no artificial nasties.
What We Thought:
What a brilliant way to make the kids want to get into the bath. These made the bath time routine a joy for everyone. The kids loved practicing their newly learned writing skills with the crayons on the bath, and I loved how quickly it washed away. The fizzy plops give them colourful baths to pretend to be mermaids in and the look of excitement when rainbow colours exploded out of the cloud bath bomb was priceless. You fill your tub with water and Mini U fill it with fun. These have gone straight out our list for presents for kids friends throughout the year, what a great brand!

What We Thought:
What a load of fun this was. We played it once as a family then our 3 and 5 year olds were very happy to sit and play it together leaving us time to have a mince pie. Instead of an upright tower in the classic game there is a wall which the chicken sits on and the job is to remove the bricks from the wall without the chicken falling down. The kids loved the jeopardy of it and very quickly learnt how to test pieces and work out which ones are safe to come out. I was amazed at how quickly our 3 year old picked it up and how much she enjoyed it.
Where To Get It:
Priced £18.50 you can buy it along with a host of other toys at hippychick.com
