Last week I posted about the contents of Georgie’s stocking, and here is what I got for Lydia. Our baby girl will be pretty much 10 months old at Christmas time, so I have tried to find small toys that she will find stimulating, fun and soothing to her poor gums! Most of these are …

In the box you get 6 fairies and a little pink ball to bowl them over with. Each fairy is unique with different hats, hair colours, and so on. The ball and fairies are all wooden with the exception of their sticky out bits of hair which are made from plastic, and the net wings.

Georgie’s 3rd Bigjigs Mission 3 package arrived with these gorgeous Safari Building Blocks inside… and a special challenge. We had to make a creative video with our new building blocks, and review the new toy within the video too.
After lots of fun and stacking of blocks, here is our video review!
