1. Wave Racers Sky Loop Rally Christmas Giveaway

   Posted on 10:00am Friday 17th Nov 2017

   We talk a lot about girls toys and activities on the Lilypad, mainly because I have two girls (makes sense eh?) but we don't want to leave the boys .... or indeed the adrenalin fuelled girls out, so we are talking cars today! 

   Not being entirely savvy as far as boys Christmas wish lists are concerned, I didn't know that zooming onto everyone’s Christmas list this year are the Wave Racers, the revolutionary new wave technology aimed at ages 6+. Players can race on their own or against friends with expandable track sets, providing hours of fun for any racing enthusiast!  

   I remember my brother having car racing tracks when we were kids but they were nothing like these. The Wave Racer cars are capable of reaching sensational speeds and the track sets feature a number of different stunt capabilities offering young racers the chance to perform stunts and tricks such as 360 loops, side by side racing and mid-air jumps! The innovative new range allows you to activate your racer by waving your hand over the sensor. The faster you wave your hand, the faster your Wave Racer will go! 

   

   Complete a full 360° vertical loop at ultra-high speed with Skyloop Rally. 

   

   There are a number of Wave Racer sets to choose from but the features of this one include:

   • Tracks can be combined with other Wave Racer Sets
   • Revoluntionary wave technology
   • The longer the players wave their hand, the longer the car will run for
   • The faster players wave their hand, the faster the cars speed
   • Contents: 24 track pieces and one Wave Sensor Car
   • Assembled dimensions: 59.5L x 43.5W x 26H cm
   • Batteries required: For car 2 x AAA (Not included)

   The Wave Racer range is available to buy now from Smyths Toys and Toys R Us with an RRP from £19.99 - £49.99 but we have the chance for you to win one .... all you need to do is enter below.

3. The Mini Hornit | Review | Giveaway

   Posted on 11:00pm Friday 27th Oct 2017

   Do you remember being a child and having a bike with a bell? You know the most painful sounding bell you can imagine and you rang it and rang it and rang it? Yep, I was that child. A bell or a horn isn't something that is intentionally designed to drive the neighbours bonkers but it is also a safety accessory, although it is an uphill struggle to try and convey that to small children.

   Not any more!

   

   The Mini Hornit is the world’s most fun accessory for children’s bikes and scooters and we are told that it is fast becoming a craze in the UK, Europe, North America and Australia. It comes loaded with 25 sound effects from bells and trumpets to racing cars and animals, and has bright lights (white AND green!) for safety.

   

   It is loud without being defeaning and some of the sounds are hilarious .... especially when people are not expecting to hear a police siren in the park. The mini hornit has an attachable remote trigger you can activate these lively, attention-grabbing sounds without ever taking your hands off the handle bars. Using a pair of large rubber wings, this nifty little device also easily clips onto the frame or handlebars which makes it is the perfect accompaniment to a child's bike or scooter.

   

   The tech bit is:

   Product Features:

   • Rubber wing-clips lets you attach it to any bike or scooter
   • Packed full of 25 fun and attention-grabbing sound effects (85 - 90 decibels)
   • Super bright 12 lumen white and green lights, with constant/slow flash/fast flash modes
   • Dedicated "lights off" switch so you don't have to scroll through all of the various settings
   • Shower-proof (IP33 rating)
   • Batteries will last for 7 hours on constant light mode and it needs 2x AAA batteries

   Oh it also looks like a super big eyed turtle ;-) 

   The mini hornit retails at just £14.99 but we are excited to be able to give you a chance to win one! All you need to do is enter below.

4. LOL Dolls Series 2 : What is inside?

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 12th Oct 2017

   A little while back, we had great fun with the L.O.L Surprise Doll, Series 1 so a small person in our house was extremely excited when it was announced that Series 2 was being launched. Thinking that she is now a YouTube sensation (don't ask), she wanted to do an unboxing video ..... complete with her own American accent and requests for subscribers!

     

   There are over 45 dolls to collect in Series 2, and each one has seven layers of new surprises inside: a secret message sticker; a sticker sheet; a water bottle charm; a pair of shoes; an outfit; an accessory and the doll herself. The L.O.L. doll is obviously  the best layer of surprise! Dress her in all of the accessories you've revealed. Each character is completely different. If you're lucky, you unboxed one of the rare dolls .... our little Youtuber thought she had a rare one and you can hear the anticipation in her voice! 

   

   There are so many layers to get through, here is a snapshot of another one that we have opened, (if you don't want to sit through 13 mins of the video) 

   

   Each layer has a new surprise for you ....

   

   There are cute little blind bags to thrill and build the excitement.

   

   And eventually you get inside .....

   

   And you find the cutest little L.O.L doll inside! 

   

   L.O.L Surprise! are the biggest collectable craze in the UK right now, they are the ultimate unboxing toy is combined with the anticipation of surprise. Perfect as a treat or a Christmas stocking filler.

   Have you tried them yet?
