The Hive Toys

"There's a buzz, buzz, buzz in the meadow!!"

The Hive on Disney Junior is another TV show that my pre-schooler Freddy enjoys.  The everyday lives of the cute and friendly  insect characters always raises a smile and the star of the show is BuzzBee, a cheeky young lad who often finds himself in sticky situations.

Now fans of the show can have their very own cuddly toys to play with at home.  Mookie have launched a range of gorgeous plush toys which includes Buzzbee, Rubee, Barnabee and Postman Spider.  We were sent our very Buzzbee!

The 6.5" tall plush toy is really soft and cuddly.  The design is very true to the TV character and Freddy instantly recognised him from The Hive.  The attention to detail is good with Buzzbee having a cute pair of little wings and curly antennae.  His big smiling face is so appealing and his expression is full of mischief and adventure.

He is available from Amazon, The Entertainer, Smyths, Toymaster and Hamleys priced at £9.99.  

Mookie have plans to launch more toys based on The Hive so little ones will be able to enjoy playing with  all their favourite characters at home.  Find out more at www.mookie-toys.co.uk.

Fun with Jungle Junction

Jungle Junction is a huge hit with us here Inside the Wendy House.  The Disney Junior BAFTA nominated TV show stars animals who live in the jungle with "wheels instead of feet"!  I was very excited when Flair created a range of toys based on the show.  I saw the Jungle Playset at Christmas in July  and loved it.  I was even more excited when I was sent the Jungle Junction Hippobus and Beetle Bugs Play Set and the Wheel Around Fun Set to review with my Tiny Testers Freddy and Kizzy.

The Jungle Junction Play Set at Christmas in July.

The play sets bring to life the fun of Jungle Junction for children to enjoy in their own home.  Pre-Schoolers can re-enact the fast moving adventures from the jungle with the familiar characters from their favourite TV show.

The Hippobus is a big yellow, smiley school bus who takes the Beetle Bugs safely to school.  The Play Set comes complete with five colourful beetle bugs plus stop and go signs to see them safely across the road!  The Hippobus has working sounds, just press his ear and the bus erupts into the giggles of the Beetle Bugs, their boinging sounds or the bus horn beeping.  The side of the bus opens up to reveal rows of colour coded seats for the bugs which encourages early colour recognition and a slide.  The bus is robust and beautifully made.  It comes complete with batteries so it is ready to be played with!  All the accessories store neatly inside when not in use.  A cardboard jungle scenery play mat and stickers are included.

The set was the perfect size for Freddy's little hands and he loved whizzing the bugs down the slide and wheeling Elebus along.

The Wheel Around Fun Set features Ellyvan, Bungo and Scooter who can zoom around their own cardboard play mat.  The set includes road signs and stickers to add to the fun!  The individual characters can be wheeled along the road in their own adventures.

The sets can be added to with free wheeling figures that come individually or in duo packs.

The Jungle Junction toys are fun, colourful, well made and will provide hours of fun for Disney Junior fans.
