Brita Fill & Go Active Bottle is a durable, practical everyday bottle that filters water on the go and is perfect for adults and kids alike. It’s a good size which is great for my children who drink a lot particularly in warm weather and ideal for them to take to school to keep them hydrated during the school day.
Holding 0.6 of a litre it’s easy to know roughly how much you are drinking in a day. The filter is simple to use and just a small disc you insert between the screw parts at the top. Reducing chlorine and other taste-impairing substances each disc will filter up to 150 litres of water or can be used for up to 4 weeks. The bottle can also be used without a filter should you so wish.
The whole bottle is made from a soft plastic making it durable and child friendly – if it drops on the floor, it’s unlikely to crack and break. With a handy carry handle and a removable lid, the children have absolutely taken to these and carried them round out and about on all our days out over the last couple of weeks. Having different coloured handles helps them differentiate between them (lime and pink are also available).
Overall I’m highly impressed with these Brita active bottles and they are just perfect for our family and lifestyle. They feature everything the children need and are perfect for taking to school when they return next week, just need to add their name on the bottom and they are ready to go. I know they will be well used and help them drink plenty of water during the day. If you are looking for a simple, unfussy design (which is what they need at school) that is durable in it’s build and also has the ability to filter water then this Brita Fill & Go active bottle is the one for you!
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
I then added various berries, herbs and filtered water to my ice cube trays and tried to choose trays with appropriate shapes for the festive season such as stars and long oblong shapes that would sit prettily in glasses. What I love about these is that they are so versatile and you can use them in plain water, lemonade or cocktails. The choice is yours. I added a drop of orange juice to some of the star cubes for added flavour but love that all the ingredients add both flavour, texture and a really attractive addition to your Christmas drink!
Using water is so simple but adds an interesting touch to drinks at Christmas and is something that all your guests will love. With the water being filtered you know it has a better flavour and your ice cubes will melt perfectly into the drink.
My two children were keen to get started so helped me set things out ready to show our guests when they arrived. To keep everyone happy we gave everyone an Aquabeads mini playset and a few demo packs to do as we had enough of these for everyone. I have to say I was really impressed with the mini packs as they are small and compact but once you open them up, there is a good choice of beads and you can make quite a few mini creations with the set. My little boy couldn’t resist making the turtle as this is his favourite animal.
We really loved the bead pen that comes with this. Although you can easily do the designs with your fingers, the pen makes it a whole lot easier and the children loved using it. My children spent the rest of the day after the party making designs with the beginners studio and I’d definitely recommend it as a great kit for anyone interested in Aquabeads.
This set includes four sheets of designs although you can of course make your own up. The beads in this set are also a mix of plain solid coloured round beads and translucent jewel beads which gives a really nice mix and finish to the creations. All the finished pieces are brightly coloured and really give children a sense of achievement.
This is a really fun craft that helps with fine motor skills and following a pattern. It also covers a range of ages too, as the designs can range from simple to complex, anything goes with Aquabeads! The other parents of children that came to try Aquabeads were really impressed and loved the little creations their children made and took home so they were an all round hit with everyone.
