I woke up the other morning to find I was sharing my pillow with a plastic rhynosaris. Then my 2 year old son, Rudy announced “he wants you Mummy” meaning that I had to cuddle the thing! We’ve also acquired a fantastic remote control replica giant tarantula spider (The National History Museum) which has been steered into my toes at every given opportunity! Sometimes I know when the spiders on it’s way over to me as I can hear peels of laughter & giggling from the boys. We actually bought it from Rudy’s playschool car boot sale at the weekend for a meer fiver! Almost new and still boxed, it was labelled up for £25 on the original packaging (NEXT). It’s great for all ages, Bradley (4.5) and Rudy (2.5) are both good at steering it around, although it is quite sensitive and you can hear the mechanics working. It’s given them more fun than any remote control car they’ve ever had and they’ve even managed to scare everyone at the local shopping centre (well some got into character nicely and gone along with the tarantula invasion). Bradley particularly loved whizzing it under the shelves at Wilkos. It’s my fave toy of theirs – it’s cool!
