Advantages: Washes well, keeps you warm and looks ok too Disadvantages: Quite expensive
I spend a lot of time outdoors, both through work and in my leisure time, so the approx. £100 investement for my Musto was well worth it. I have had it since xmas 2006 and it has been treated pretty badly throughout that time! I am a large animal and equine vet and wear my coat for work most days, so it really has had a tough time! This means my coat has to be relativly smart but also practical in any situation.
In the last year it has been used to pad the floor under lame horses, as a foal blindfold and, more than once, to mop up blood! It has washed well everytime (in my normal washing machine) and dries within 24hours inside. I would think it has been washed over 25 times since I have had it. All the zips are still perfect and there is no signs of wear and tear at all. Despite all the washing, it has never let in the rain yet! That ...
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 ...
