Fuzzikins Dozy Dogs

How cute are these Fuzzikins Dozy Dogs? They are the perfect set for children who like both crafting and animals.  Fuzzikins Craft Dozy Dogs is a craft set for young children to colour and decorate their very own doggy family (to their own design) and to make them accessories for a good night’s sleep. They are for children aged five years old and above.  Inside each kit, it comes with three different size, lightweight dog figurines (small, medium and large), three felt tip pens (typical doggy colours are included: black, brown and grey), a brush, self-assembly felt sleeping bags in different colours, other accessories to customise and play with (like eye masks and capes), wooden lollipop stick (to help make up the sleeping bags) and full instructions.

The RRP for the sets is £9.99 each and they are available to buy from good stores and Amazon. There are lots of fun Fuzzikins sets to collect. Have a look at Interplayuk.com to see the full range (including the super cute cats). They are a good size and price for birthday party presents and the sort of thing I tend to keep in my present box so I always have a gift to hand when I need one.  Now Interplay UK is giving me the chance to give away one of these Fuzzikins Dozy Dogs sets to three of my blog readers and followers.

Win One of Two ACE Cleaning Bundles

ACE cleaning bundle

It’s funny isn’t it how spring makes you want to clean.  I don’t enjoy cleaning, but I do feel compelled to spring clean at this time of year.  I think it might be the fact that the brighter sunshine highlights the dirt.  I now can see the streaks on the windows and I’ve spotted cobwebs in corners.  I’m feeling the need to clean, but I’m not a big fan of housework.  I tend to look for gadgets and products that will help make it easy for me.  I don’t want to spend a lot of time cleaning and I just want to get the job done as quickly as possible.  I’m always on the look out for products that do a great job and don’t cost a fortune.

I have teamed up with ACE, the leading stain remover, to offer two lucky winners the chance to win an ACE cleaning bundle worth £15 each.

Win A Family Annual Pass (Worth Around £60) For Chatham Historic Dockyard

The combination of history and ships is a compelling one.  We have explored a number of museums and attractions as a family which offer both of these themes, and they have all been big hits.  One of the best places though to get a hands on look at maritime history is Chatham Historic Dockyard.  The Historic Dockyard in Chatham made and repaired war ships during the 17th and 18th centuries. The most famous ship ever built here is HMS Victory, best known for playing her part in the Battle of Trafalgar under the leadership of Lord Nelson and still a commissioned Royal Naval ship today.

Chatham Dockyard is located on the River Medway in Kent. For over 400 years Chatham Royal Dockyard provided many ships for the Royal Navy, and was at the forefront of shipbuilding, industrial and architectural technology. At its height, it employed thousands of skilled artisans and covered 400 acres. Chatham dockyard closed in 1984, and 84 acres of the Georgian dockyard is now managed as a visitor attraction by the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust. It’s a great day out and the sort of place you’ll want to revisit again as it is difficult to fit it all into one day.

Dolphin Kick DVD Giveaway

dolphin film

I think many of us humans feel a deep affinity with dolphins.  There’s something very appealing about their obvious intelligence, communication skills and communal existence. I’ve always wanted to have a go at swimming with dolphins, but so far the closest I’ve ever got is spotting them from a beach or a boat.

So this family film sounded just the thing for film night and we got sent a copy of DOLPHIN KICK to try out ahead of its DVD release.  On a tropical island vacation 10-year-old Luke Mahoney bonds with a playful dolphin called Echo who has lost his way home. Their unlikely friendship and fun adventures give Luke the courage to get back into the water after the loss of his mother.  But Luke soon learns that Echo has a family of his own to find and so teams up with an ocean clean-up team to help the dolphin reunite with his missing pod.

dolphin filmIt’s a heartwarming film with a talented young cast and a stunning tropical setting. There are plenty of good messages to take out of the film, but best of all its very enjoyable to watch and perfect for family film night (it’s a PG). DOLPHIN KICK is available on DVD and digital download from 1st April 2019.

Better still I have a copy to give away to my readers.  All you need to do to be in with a chance to win is enter via the Gleam widget below.
