Toyologist Reviews: Girly Heaven!

Our Toyologist parcel this month had a definite theme. A very, very girly theme. Nearly everything was aimed at little girls so Missy Woo was overjoyed. (We'll skim over the fact that Monkey was somewhat underwhelmed to put it mildly). So Missy Woo and I have been busy having very girly bonding sessions playing with everything. Consequently, she has been in heaven.

Firstly, we have the Melissa & Doug Princess Stamp Set, modelled here by Missy Woo. This is delightful and nostalgic as a craft toy if you are old like me and remember toys like this. Hardly any plastic in sight, it comes in a wooden box with 9 princess themed wooden stamps; 2 ink pads, one pink and one purple; and five coloured pencils. So, it's pretty durable, and it all packs away nicely in the wooden box, which looks somehow prettier and eneater than a cardboard box. The stamps work well and make nice pictures. It kept Missy Woo occupied on a wet weekend afternoon.

The Gallery - Sparkle

Sparkle. It comes naturally to her. She likes to add to the sparkle with her dressing up outfits but most of it is her own - the sparkles on her dresses just represent her. From her eyes, that sparkle with mischief and wonder all her waking hours, to the sparkle you can hear in her giggle when she goes a bit giddy and silly. The sparkly white teeth of her sweet smile; even her hair seems to sparkle. Her whole personality is sparkly and glitters like the shiny new star in the universe that she is.

She sparkles and fizzes her way through every day, like a glass of champagne that never goes flat.

Never-ending sparkle.

That's my little girl.
