I was terribly gutted that I missed Toyjeanius advertising for toy testers and only found out when she announced the successful ones. However, I have been in luck because she has been watching my pink and girly blog since then and has been on the look out for something appropriately girly for my little ones to review.
I was told to expect a surprise and was sent this fantastic toy:
This is a 29 piece wooden magnetic dress up set that costs a very reasonable £12.95 and is for children 3+.
We were thrilled with it. Appropriately for our home, it came in a pink sturdy box with a magnetic lid. This looks appealing, keeps all bits safe and tidy and is easy for little hands to open. The wooden magnetic pieces include Eves head with different hair colours and a variety of outfits including pretty dresses, a skirt, jeans and a jumper. There are even shoes and accessories to compliment, including handbags and her favourite teddy bear.
As a little girl, I remember having the old fashioned paper dressing up dolls but this is far better and will last much much longer. It also means younger children can use it as it is much less fiddly than the paper versions.
This is a great toy for developing imagination. Poppy has really enjoyed making up stories about what Eve is wearing and where she is off too next. It has kept her busy for hours.
Don't just take my word for it though...here is a little video clip of her using it:
As you can see in the clip, we used ours on a magnetic board but you could use it on a fridge or anywhere you have a magnetic surface. The pieces all feel very sturdy and are a good size for little hands. Poppy is just three and has had no difficulty with it at all.
Poppy even announced that it was "THE BEST TOY EVER"! which is high praise indeed. We give it a huge 10/10.
For a wide range of beautiful toys including traditional wooden ones then head over to Toyjeanius yourself.
