Win Outdoor Toys from Wilko #giveaway

It's nearly the summer holidays and we are looking forward to six weeks of fun in the rain sun!  One way of keeping the kids entertained out of doors is to invest in some fun outdoor toys.  Wilko stock a great value range of toys and we were sent some to review.

• Wilko Play Stunt Kite Nylon Multi-Coloured £4.00
• Wilko Play Boom Bat Set Multi-Coloured £4.00
• Wilko Play Gardening Set  £4.00
• Wilko Play Magic Bubble Accessories Multi-Coloured x 26 £4.00
• Wilko Play Cricket Set Multi-Coloured £4.00
• Wilko Play Catch 'Em Out Game £4.00

The toys are all colourful and fun with lots of kid appeal.  Freddy particularly loved the Magic Bubble jar that has loads of different shaped and sized bubble wands as well as a pot of bubble mixture. He loves blowing bubbles, then chasing them and popping them or watching them float to the sky.  The Boom Bat Set will help future Wimbledon champions hone their bat and ball skills!  The satisfying "boom" noise when the soft ball hits the colourful bats made Freddy laugh everytime!  The cricket set is a lovely colourful set complete with wicket and stumps to transform your back garden into a mini version of Lords!  Budding gardeners will love to grow their own using the gardening set or little ones could even use them in the sandpit to dig and build.  It comes with three tools and pots for gardening fun. The Catch 'Em Game is a lot of fun as you try to catch the ball on the velcro catchers.  Grown-ups seem to like this game a lot too, so it's definitely one to entertain the guests after a barbecue. We can't wait to try out the kite next time we go to the beach.

It's National Cupcake Week

Making Baking A Piece of Cake

This week (the 17th - 23rd September) is National Cupcake Week.  Here Inside the Wendy House, we love the odd cupcake or two and here are a couple of our past creations (with links to the recipes)!

Coffee Cupcakes

Bailey's Cupcakes

Baking is such a lovely activity to enjoy with the kids.  So when Wilkinson sent us some baking goodies to try out we were most pleased!  They have a range of durable, colourful and practical accessories which are perfect for encouraging the kids into the kitchen.  The range includes silicone moulds, aprons, scales and utensils, making baking a piece of cake!  It is all such good value.  A pack of 12 bright coloured silicone cupcake moulds cost just £2!  Kids' utensils start at just £1, and have an element of fun that will make them want to help out with cooking.  They are never too young to start!

We received some great cookie cutters in assorted shapes which will make some very appealing, bite size  cookies or gingerbread.  We also have a butterfly shaped cake mould, cup cake cases and an icing bag.  They are all very kid friendly, but also fully functional and good quality. 

So later this week we will be baking ourselves some yummy cupcakes ... how about these delicious Oreo Cupcakes filled with pieces of  Oreo and topped with vanilla buttercream??  It is National Cupcake Week after all!
