A Hello Kitty themed party is suitable for any age and this handy party pack from Party bags & Supplies contains all your tableware along with pre filled party bags for up to eight children. My daughter, 8yr old Miss M is already well into the planning for her next birthday party and she wants it at home so this kit is perfect and she is very happy with the design.

Hello kitty party I’m really pleased with everything you get as all I need to add is food and activities but the tableware is all included. You get a tablecloth, 8 plates, 8 cups and a pack of serviettes which will be enough for one each at the party, and another one to wrap a piece of cake in.

Hello kitty party 2 The party bags are pre filled which is brilliant, I don’t have to worry about them and I think they are really well suited to Miss M’s age group.

They each contain a Hello Kitty notepad, a multicoloured pencil, Hello Kitty keyring, fluffy zipped purse with attached hair elastics and a really lovely charm bracelet. The bracelets are corded with a silver coloured charm and look really grown up, Miss M is really looking forward to handing them out to her friends.

Hello Kitty Mandala Designer – Review

Posted on May 27, 2014 by Fiona Martin

Hello Kitty Mandala Designer from Ravensburger is a stencil kit aimed at children aged 6+, to create Hello Kitty mandala designs. It comes in a small pink box that clips shut and I was impressed that this holds the stencil template, paper squares, the pen and colouring pencils. This makes it a great little kit for taking out with you or away on holiday.

The stencil works by ensuring an arrow is matched on the circle stencil to the arrow on the frame and draw through the stencil a couple of images of your choice. Then turn the stencil by either 1, 2 or 4 arrows forward and repeat your image. By the time the stencil has come full circle you will have a complete circular image of designs.

Miss M who is 6, is the perfect age to start creating these designs. She needed some initial pointers as to turning the stencil in even increments but once she got the hang of it she sat quite happily creating designs on her own. She even added some freehand drawing to her designs to finish them off before colouring them in.

Initially the set looks fairly basic, but it’s amazing how many different designs you can come up with and how intricate you can make them. There’s lots more potential to get creative as Miss M gets a bit older and more confident at using the stencil. Here are a few of the simple designs she came up with:

I think it’s really nice that you can create not only your own designs, but you then have something to colour in. You can use the finished designs for lots of things, maybe add them to a homemade birthday card, cut them out and hang them up along a piece of string as some bunting or just have fun with them.

The Hello Kitty Mandala has really kept Miss M occupied on her own and I think it’s a great little set that she can easily pop in her bag and take with her. The plastic case and stencil are well made and the pen and coloured pencils that are included are also of a good quality. This would make a lovely gift for a girl and something that can be used again and again. All you need to do is cut some little squares of paper up to fit underneath the stencil and you can make endless designs.

We’ve really enjoyed trying out the Hello Kitty Mandala and think it’s a fun way to stencil. It’s keeps a child occupied on their own and the designs don’t take too long to do, which keeps them motivated to see the finished result.

Stocking Filler Toys from Gacha

Posted on December 18, 2013 by Fiona Martin

One thing all children like at Christmas is hanging up their stockings waiting for them to be filled with lots of little treats and delights. I know my two children are already excited about hanging their stocking by the fireplace and it’s the first thing they open on Christmas morning. Tomy’s collectible Gacha range of pocket money toys make the ideal thing to pop in Christmas stockings.

The little sealed packets are fun to open and my children were all excited at the prospect of what was giong to be inside. With brands in the range such as Hello Kitty, Disney, Monsters University, Furby, Transformers there is sure to be something everyone will like.

Our packets contained items from Monster’s university, Disney and Hello Kitty.

Miss M was pleased with her Hello Kitty bracelet and hairbands and wanted me to do her hair straight away. She also put the Disney ring straight on her finger – it has a large design on top that she was keen to show everyone.

Mister B had a Monster’s University monster that came in 5 pieces to build yourself although was a little difficult to assemble. There was also a Monster’s University key chain and a water squirter duck from Disney. Mister B had fun playing with the three figures on the floor and was quite amused by them.

We tried the duck bath squirter that night and it actually works quite well, they had lots of fun squirting each other with it and Mister B named him “super duck” due to the cape on his back.

Overall, these stocking fillers are the sort of little items that children love and carry around with them. For some low priced branded fun, then these are sure to bring a smile to a young child.

Gacha stocking fillers are available from Tesco
