As you may know by know, I?m always up for a bargain or a free holiday. So when my boyfriend got a free hotel voucher (due to a muck-up on one of his bills) we thought we?d make a weekend of it and have a mini city break. Living in the South our first choice was London, but looking through the list of available hotels we were allowed to choose from somewhere else stood out. Neither of us had ever been to Cardiff and we figured that we were close enough to get there by car and it was be a good excuse to suss it out. Our first choice was the Hilton hotel, but we were offered the Novotel. However, on visiting the city centre and seeing the Hilton from the outside I think I prefer the Novotel now anyway!
~~Location, Location, Location~~
Location is a pretty important factor in choosing a hotel and the Novotel won?t be for everyone ...
Advantages: educational, simple to play, enagaging storyline Disadvantages: makes kids want more lol
If you have young children, you most likely know who Dora the Explorer is and all about her talking backpack. This game is on a DVD format, so your child will need a DVD drive on the computer they play it on. This means, if like us, you tarted up a Freecycled PC so your child can leave YOUR PC alone, you will need to fork out a few quid for a DVD player for it.
This game is a natural extension of the TV series it is spun off from. The TV series has a computer game feel, with the "mouse cursor" that appears on the screen after Dora asks your child a question, so this game is like suddenly actually being IN the show for your child. Like the series, your child will go on a walk (in this to the library) with Dora and her backpack, and along the way, meets up with Boots, Benny the bull, Tico the squirrel, and others. They solve puzzles ...
Advantages: Cute design, good quality, stores a lot Disadvantages: Older children might not like it
My 3 year old daughter loves Maisy Mouse. She's a small white mouse that looks like she has been drawn by an infant, but still he has all the features of a mouse and all the charm as well. Although very basic in design Maisy Mouse appeals to children's imaginations. Maisy always looks happy, smiling and appeals to children of all ages.
There are many books about Maisy Mouse, there is also a television series so the chances are that your child already knows who she is. If your child is a lover of Maisy then this backpack would be perfect.
The product that I am reviewing is the Maisy Mouse Backpack that is a large canvas backpack with two compartments and a red handle. It is neither too big nor too small to fit your child's prized posessions. If your child is a fan of Maisy Mouse then you really should invest in this backpack before ...
