The Logo Game Review...

I love this game. It's a real get the family together fun activity. We have a lot of strong characters in our house - so more often than not someone ends up having a major strop - but that's all part of it! As I said on the movie, it really is great for all ages. The box says ages 12 to adult but so long as your little one has an adult on their team they will answer way more questions than you would imagine. A testiment to the power of advertising for sure - but a great game.

A laptop for under £10 - are you kidding?

Number 1 son (now 18) has had a passion for Star Wars since he four years old. I believe that I have seen the original three moves over one hundred times each and could probably recite more of the dialogue than even I care to admit. Luckily for me DinoBoy has not taken on this passion, even with encouragement from the person that he loves most in the world. I am very happy about this as I don't think that I could stomach another fifteen years of it, especially as the new movies are pretty dire.

But when it comes to spending your £10 gift budget wisely - it really doesn't get any better than this Star Wars R2D2 Junior Laptop from Toys R Us. It comes in just under budget at £9.99 (reduced from £19.99) and it's packed full of features to keep your little one entertained for hours.

It is personally a bit too noisy for me - but as it won't be taking up residence in my house who am I to care!!

This little laptop has eight learning categories including letters, numbers, shapes, colours, logic, memory and music and it's a great way to introduce much needed typing skills to your little one. It's compact size and carry handle make it really easy to transport - though I don't suggest letting them play with it in the car. (The confined space and all that beeping would make me want to scream - umm, maybe that should have been on yesterdays irrational hates post!)

It runs off two AA batteries, which are included and features an easy to use ABC keyboard. It's a fun way to help children expand their vocabulary whilst developing logic and memory skills alongside a host of Star Wars characters. Suitable for children from 3 years. I suggest buying a few now and saving them for as and when you need them. At this fantastic price they won't hang around for long.

There are a couple of other character laptops in the range but they are way outside of our budget. Darth Vader £39.99 and Clone Wars Trooper £29.99

Please take note that I do not appreciate noisy toys being given to my own children!

I was tipped off about this fab product by Joanne at Parentdish - so thank you!
