Sshh! Don’t tell anyone, but I’m planning a special surprise for my girls this week. On Thursday 28th July, we are having a very special Go Jetters Party and you can join in the fun too! My girls love the Go Jetters, and all the exciting adventures they go on travelling the world so I…
Things got really exciting in this house this week when my children and I got a sneak peek of the new toys from The Lion Guard. For those of you not in the know, The Lion Guard is a Disney Junior show about Kion. Kion is Simba’s youngest child and is set to follow in…
Bratz Dolls heard we were heading to Larmer Tree Festival next month and wanted to send us one of their new Bratz Music Festival Dolls. We also had the fun task of creating our very own festival head band to get us in the summer vibe. We are always up for a bit of crafting…
I have to admit one of the great things about writing this blog is that it gives my daughters the chance to try toys that they might not otherwise get to play with. We were recently sent the Lalaloopsy Minis Style ‘n’ Swap Doll Spot Splatter Splash set to take a look at and see…
Toys are a really big deal in this house. We sacrifice a minimal looking living space in favour of stepping on bricks and drowning in mountains of toys that the kids love. If you follow my blog you’ll know a fair amount of toys get featured on Zena’s Suitcase, and that’s because they make the…
The Irish Fairy Door Company recently got in touch with us to see if we would like to have a fairy come and live in our home. Now, who is going to say no to an offer like that. It sounded like the perfect magical gift for a 3 year old girl from the very…
Sand is such a fab toy for kids isn’t it? But why should it be something they just play with in the summer? It’s great for sensory and imaginative play, so wouldn’t it be great if there was a way they could play with it all year round?
Hey Duggee is also on my daughter’s list of favourite CBeebies shows. She’s such a huge animal lover, Hey Duggee and the rest of the characters really appeal to her. If you’ve not caught up with this show yet, Hey Duggee is all about the Squirrel club and is aimed at preschoolers. It’s similar to an…
Bizzy Bitz is a great new construction toy that landed on our doorstep here at Zena’s Suitcase a few weeks ago. The great thing about blogging is it gives me the opportunity to expose my children to a wide range of toys, and share with you the very best of what’s on the toy market coming…
Orchard Toys recently got in touch with us to see if we would like to try out some of their range of games. We already have a few Orchard Toys games and puzzles, but I hadn’t realised that they are all made from 100% recycled materials and are manufactured in Britain. When I realised this…
Clangers have been a huge hit with my daughter since they returned to television on CBeebies earlier this year. She watches them every morning before nursery and she loves her Tiny Clanger and Soup Dragon that she received for a review a few months ago. Since she received them, we have been eagerly awaiting some…
My Friend Freddy Bear has recently joined my 3 year old’s toy collection, and she has spent the last couple of weeks getting to know him. Freddy Bear already knew her though. He knew her name, who her best friends were and lots of other things about her before he arrived. He isn’t just any old…
Pet Parade Carry Kit My 3 year old has been a little bit difficult recently when she has had play dates with her friends. She’s at that stage where she is learning all about negotiating her relationships, whilst at the same time trying to understand all the emotions she experiences. This interesting stage has led…
It’s all happening with Dora and Friends on Nick Jr. this summer. A little bird has told us that you can catch up with Dora and Friends Sing Along music booth at Smyths Toy Superstores and various Sky locations across the country. It promises to be a whole heap of fun for Dora fans who…
Recently Toyz World invited me and my family for a fab day out to play on their amazing BeBop bouncy castles at Hatton Adventure World. We met up with a group of bloggers and their families, on a lovely sunny day in July to enjoy some quality time and outdoor play. I took the opportunity…
Sometimes Princess and I like to sneak of and get a few hours to ourselves. She really benefits from having one to one time away from her little sister. She has really struggled with her jealousy being only 3, so having time with just Mummy helps her feel more secure. A little bird told us…
