So it's getting to the point where you can't really deny it any more, Christmas is well and truly on it's way, before you know it, the presents will be unwrapped, the dinner eaten and the living room scattered with toys. So for those of you who are still looking for the perfect toys for your family, that hopefully won't be discarded in favour of the wrapping paper, over the next 12 days I am going to be featuring a variety of toys aimed at a range of ages from toddler to teen.
We will also have some giveaways to help you get an extra present under the tree!
On the Ninth day of Christmas my true love Santa gave to me...
Gelarti from Flair
I have to admit that when i first heard of this, my thoughts immediately strayed to Italian Ice cream, and memories of devouring quite a few on a trip to Venice. But once i'd managed to stop drooling, I realised that this was in fact 'Gel Art' and it was quite funky!
As soon as we opened the box Ben got rather excited and couldn't wait to get all of the contents out.
Inside the box there is...
-over 50 stickers
-5 Gelarti paint pens
-2 plastic hanging discs
-a fun filled activity booklet.
The gel paints were really easy to use and because of the raised outlines on the stickers Ben (who is usually a bit messy with painting) was able to colour them really neatly.
We had great fun with these and there are plenty in the pack so could easily have another two crafty sessions with them.
We have made some lovely gifts and decorations...
My favourite was the dolphin when Ben decided to colour with blue and glittery green, the pack showed this on a goldfish bowl but we decided to try it on a glass and I thought it looked really effective.
This set is aimed at 5+ but i believe that it would be suitable for younger. This a great activity set with hours of fun in one box and it would be a perfect present under any tree this christmas...
