Fun Time - Sammy Nestico & The SWR Big Band

Advantages: Brilliant range of programmes for young children
Disadvantages: Teletubbies!!

.... The channel itself has been nominated and also won many awards which before even viewing the channel, gives the parent some high hopes. It offers a wide range of programmes both educational and otherwise to appeal to the younger preschool age children. Programmes come and go every so often though many stay for very long lengths of time giving children time to relate to the characters and stories. You will see a list of some of these programmes below. In between each programme on this channel there are fun fill in?s with the presenters such as Big Fun Time and the Bedtime Hour which has stories read by guest appearances which I usually recognize from other adult programmes, songs and other fun things that get the child to interact with the television. Cbeebies has now gone worldwide and I assume it is pretty much the same as we have here in... Read review

Advantages: A great toy for the young
Disadvantages: None

...Ok with CIAO not being so good during the weekend I was at a loose end so I decided to clear out the cupboard in the hall (who knows I may have a car boot sale now lol) and I found loads of stuff that is still in good condition and brought back some memories for me. One thing that stood out was my son's Big Red Fun Bus and believe it or not it still has all the characters etc. I remember buying this for my son's Second birthday and he loved playing with it, there were the characters, furniture cars etc. Made by Bluebird toys it is a very durable toy and stands up to almost anything as I can vouch for, the thrashings my son used to give it was unbelievable and yes its still standing today. It is based at an age group of 3+ but I felt my son was ready for it at 2 as the pieces are quite big I suppose a 1 yr old could get away... Read review

Advantages: Great texture, staying power and colour
Disadvantages: Price (but it's worth it, in my opinion)

...I initially received this free with a promotional bottle of the Tigi Bedhead Oatmeal and Honey Conditioner. However you can purchase this from any Tigi stockist, or online via eBay or HQ Hair etc. You should expect to pay around £7 to £9 for this, although if you shop around you can get it for about £5 or £6. I have always tended to use black eyeliner- normally like Rimmel or Maybelline Kohl liner. I intially dismissed this free eyeliner as being something I was unlikely to use as it was brown rather than my usual black. However, one day I ran out of my usual liner and decided that I would give this a go. The packing is bright and vibrant which is usual of the Bedhead brand. The liner is purple with a brown end to indicate the colour of the pencil. The words 'Big Fat Fun' are written on the liner in silver writing... Read review
