Giant Jenga Game

Garden Games asked if me and Jack would be interested in reviewing a Giant Jenga Game they had. Of course we said yes! I love Jenga and couldn't wait to see how much bigger this would be to the standard one you can buy in the shops. Once the order had been placed I was kept informed as to when the item had been picked and dispatched. I would highly recommend ordering from Garden Games. They were quick and kept me informed each step of the way. They have a wide selection of reasonably priced garden toys on their website.

Mega Hi-Tower from Garden Games

A few days after ordering Mega Hi-Tower it arrived well packed in a large cardboard box - my goodness it was heavy! I opened it, unpacked it and me and Jack set to work building a tower inside the house as it was a typical English day outside! The bricks were packed nicely in a strong water-proof zip bag which had a strong carry handle. The bricks are made of a high quality wood and are a perfect shape to hold and handle.

I opted for us to build a tower as Jack is a little to young to understand how to play Jenga plus; I thought if it fell then there wouldn't be much room to move out the way and I didn't want any accidents! I can see this being a big hit with all the family when the summer comes!

After Jack had used all of the 58 bricks we decided to build some tunnels for his toy train to go through. The wooden bricks are easy for him to handle and stack in a number of different ways. He really enjoyed building the tower and the tunnels for the trains. This really helped him used his imagination.

I then thought about what else we could use the bricks for and I came up with building a chair for Jack to sit on. We called it King Jacks thrown. He really enjoyed helping me build it and took a lot of time and care placing the bricks in the right place making sure he didn't knock any down.

I would recommend this for any family as there is so much fun to be had. This will defiantly be used a lot more when the summer comes at parties and BBQ's. You will defiantly be seeing a summer review!

Thanks to everyone at Garden Games!

Family Quest

Ahoy! 


Download the Family Quest app from the Apple’s app store – you can download it here: (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/family-quest/id469438410?mt=8)


Family Quest has been created to help all the family work together to reap rewards that everyone can enjoy. The app allows you to add all of your family members as your pirate crew so you can complete everyday tasks to earn virtual gold coins. Those gold coins can then be redeemed against family rewards chosen by you! 


You could choose rewards such as a day out at the farm or a ride on the local steam train. Maybe even a trip to a theme park. You choose how many gold coins each reward is worth, then it's up to you and your pirate crew to earn the right amount of treasure to complete the Family Quest.

Joining the world of smartphones can be overwhelming so mobile network Three, along with the UK's largest network of mum bloggers, BritMums, worked together to show mums up and down the country the benefits of internet on the go. After brainstorming app ideas with mums from Oxford to Manchester, the best ideas were voted on via Three's Facebook page and the idea for the Family Quest app was a clear favourite. Congratulations to all the mums that took part, especially the winning Ipswich crew and Jax.
