Bratzillaz Review: Midnight Beach
 |
We have been given a Bratzillaz Midnight Beach Doll to review this week, the Yasmina Clairvoya doll, which comes with a swimsuit, cape, a broomstick hairbrush, a handheld mask and a bracelet. There are 6 dolls in the entire range, here are 5 of the dolls, the last one being Fianna Fins, a mermaid like character.
Each of doll comes dressed in a bathing suit with a cape, which also doubles as a sarong, and a witch like hat. The dolls have glass eyes, that give an amazing spooky and unusual look, and have fully articulated poseable bodies. Also each of the dolls characters have a different special power and ‘witch mark’ symbol on their body.
Included in the new range are original characters: Jade J’Adore™, Meygana Broomstix™, Cloetta Spelletta™, Sashabella Paws™, and Yasmina Clairvoya™, as well as brand new character Fianna Fins™, who has risen up from the waves to join her Bratzillaz™ friends.
Bratzillaz™ are the witchy glam cousins of the original Bratz dolls. They study at an exclusive fashion magic academy known as the ‘Bratzillaz™ Academy’, where they learn magical powers to do good for all those around them.
I did wonder what my daughters would think of them, as they had never had a doll quite like this one before.
Here is what they loved about Yasmina Clairvoya :
All of the Midnight Beach Bratzillaz dolls including Yasmina have a glow in the dark feature, which we had great fun trying out. Miss A and N thought this was a great idea, and went with the spooky image. I did wonder if it would scare my youngest who is 4, but she loved it.
Yasmina has yellow eyes, and the girls loved the colour, and how unusual they were.
They also really loved the purple colour of her hair and clothes, and the long length of her hair, so they could style it.
Yasmina was fantastic as well for making creative shapes with, as it was fully poseable. Miss N who was 10 in particular loved this.
Bratzillaz™ Midnight Beach™ dolls are suitable for ages six years plus, priced at around £17.99, and available from all good toy retailers nationwide. I think this is a great price, for a very versatile, and unusual doll.

The Wooden Toy Shop
 |
Well all over bank holiday weekend, we have been reviewing a wooden playset from the fantastic website The Wooden Toy Shop. Miss A (who is nearly 4) is really lucky, and been asked to review the John Crane Tidlo Oldfield Farm (£47.95) and the Pintoy Farm Animals. (£17.95) Both are suitable for ages 3+.
I’ve taken some time to review the website as well, and it is very simple to navigate and there is free standard delivery on all orders – something I always look for, if possible. It has a great range of wooden toys, dolls houses, kitchens, train sets, and all of the accessories that go with them. It also sells furniture including some great wooden beds in the shape of boats, fire engines and racing cars, which I loved.
The farm set arrived flat-pack, together with screws and a small screwdriver so that it could be assembled. I assembled the farm, and was very simple and quick to do, the instruction provided were easy to follow. The flat-pack items were also well packaged and each house or barn, was packaged separately, so it made it really easy to assemble them. The farm animals, you simply took out the box, so that was Miss A’s job, no assemble was required at all. The dolls, we added from Miss A’s Dolls house, and they worked perfectly.
The great advantage of this farm, is promotes imaginative play. It is very well constructed, and feels strong and robust. Its great to be used as a fun tool to teach a child all about farms, and to encourage a child to look after animals. The whole thing really does look the part too, it is painted with lovely details on it. Right down to the roof tiles and brick work.
This fantastic wooden farm has a barn with loft and exterior loft ladder, a farmhouse, an animal shed, a pig sty and fences to be arranged as appropriate. The farm has a wooden base to help keep all the pieces together and the roof panels are attached with magnets which allow children to remove the roofs for additional play possibilities.
The Pintoy Farm animals set comprises dairy cows, pigs, chickens, ducks and sheep. again, very well consructed, they feel robust, and are very well painted with details.
Miss A really loved that she could take the roofs off the buildings, and I think that really is a great idea, and make is so much easier to play with. I think Miss A’s favourite thing to do was to feed the animals, and move them around the farm. She spent a really long time talking to them, and deciding where they would live, and when she was finished she decided it was night time, and put them all away in there respective houses to sleep.
I can see that we are going to have many hours of play with the farm set, Miss A absolutely loves it and I think it offers great value for money.
Thank you to The Wooden Toy Shop for letting us review the farm set and animals it is a great toy addition to our home.

Lalaloopsy Littles Silly Hair
 |
We’ve all seen the adverts for Lalaloopsy toys. I’ve got say they have always intrigued me. Maybe its my obsession with buttons…as this is what they have for eyes. I just think they are ridiculously cute!
Well the excitement when Miss A (3) opened her new Lalaloopsy Littles Silly Hair, she was so excited, as she has seen the adverts too, and had requested one for her birthday next month. You can see from the photographs, how delighted she was.
This was not a standard Lalaloopsy, but a Lalaloopsy Littles Silly Hair. Now my daughter Miss A, really does have the silliest hair, it’s curly, and she is very proud of the curls. It can be very tricky to keep neat and tidy though, but we like to leave the curls looking wild, as it really seems to suit her nature. So I think this was the perfect Lalaloopsy for her to try.
Included is the doll, lots of silly hair, some hair accessories and a little pet. It took her a little time to perfect the art of adding the hair, but once she got the hang of it, we made lots of silly hair styles.
Because we were being very silly whilst we were playing with it, we were in fits of giggles, trying to out do one another’s hair! I just love this photograph.
Overall Miss A was most impressed with Lalaloopsy Littles Silly Hair, and at approximately £25 for the fun and laughter we have had from it, I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you for reading

My First Baby Annabell (Baby Moves) : Review
 |
This is the second Baby Annabell that Miss A (3) has, the first being very different to this one. What I love, is that over the past week she has been playing with her, I’ve noticed Miss A definitely uses both of them for very different activities. This First Baby Annabell (Baby Moves) lives in Miss A’s bedroom. She loves spending time putting her to asleep at night in a (thank you Jen - Love Chic Mum) very special bed. She enjoys singing to her, pretending to give her a bath and reading her a story. She has really enjoyed play acting her night time routine. Its been great as a tool for us, to reaffirm this routine too.
Here is what My First Baby Annabell does :
- Upright, the baby babbles makes raspberry type noises.
- If you push both arms above her head she moves her head from side to side, and arms. Then makes sleepy sounds closing her eyes, then goes to sleep.
- Picking her up she starts to babble again and open her eyes
- She also like to be tickled, if you touch under her right arm.
Miss A, really does love her, here she is in a short video playing with Fi Fi, her newly named baby:
Priced approximately at £29.99, and available at most leading toy shops.
