Captain America Costume from Fun Warehouse

Most little boys dream about being a superhero, and my little man is no different.  His current idol is Captain America of which he would love to be so when we got the chance to try out a costume from Fun Warehouse we didn’t hesitate with which one to choose.  They have a wide variety of costumes all categorised to make them easy to find with the Superhero section being packed full of different hero costumes.  For each superhero there are varying styles at different price points meaning there is something to suit everyone’s taste and budget.

Our Captain America costume arrived and Mister B’s eyes lit up, he couldn’t wait to try it on.  The costume comes in two pieces, an all in one suit that you step into and has velcro to do up at the back and a mask that has velcro to attach under the chin.  The outfit is flexible and comfortable

Mister B got straight into character when wearing the costume and showed me his Captain America poses.  He loved wearing the outfit, found it comfortable and has had hours of fun being a superhero, which is what costumes are all about.  The outfit seems well stitched and although fairly thin is durable and easy for kids to get on themselves.  I think we’ll have lots of fun with this over the next couple of years.

Barbie in Princess Power DVD – Review

Barbie™ In Princess Power dvd stars princess Kara™, a modern princess living a relatively normal everyday life, until one day she is kissed by a magical butterfly that gives her super powers.  When she senses trouble around she is able to turn herself into Super Sparkle, a super hero who can save the day!

Miss M who is 7, couldn’t wait to watch this film.  She was excited to see Barbie™ turned into a superhero, something a bit different for Barbie™ films.  The DVD comes with a pink superhero mask to wear and we settled down early on a Saturday evening to watch this.  With a running time of 71 minutes it’s the perfect length for young ones but enough time to tell a good story.  Super Sparkle acts as a superhero to save numerous disasters happening around town, rescuing people from danger and chasing after baddies.

It then turns out that the Baron of the castle where she lives is trying take over and it takes the power of both her and her cousin Corinne (who has the power to become Dark Sparkle), to finally save the day!

Both my children thoroughly enjoyed watching this film and in fact were glued to it throughout, I’d definitely recommend the Princess Power DVD for any Barbie™ fans who love an action packed adventure!
