Busy Buddies - The Hape Busy Buddies board is a colourful game board, where a funny troupe meets. Each individual surprised with a different function: The cloud is lines with mirror film, the sun rattles funny and the flower stimulates with squeaking the gripping reflex of small hands. In addition, the head of the zebra can be rotated, making it clicks, while the elephant crackles when touched. Thanks to the textile band, the Busy Buddies board can be easily attached.

20/10/2021 -Hape always make such great quality toys and this is no exception. The Busy Buddies Board is made from wood and has five interactive pieces for baby to play with. The fabric ties on all four corners make it easy to move and set up anywhere. However I would find it useful if it had a stand so it could be used on its own, as I have currently set it up on one of her other toys which makes it a little harder to use that toy as well. My baby has just turned one and loves the mirror and the spinning ball the best. She will spend 10 minutes focusing on it before getting bored. These interactive opportunities are great for learning hand coordination and sensory exploration. This toy has stood up well in the face of bashing and smashing by my little girl, so it’s five stars for me!

19/10/2021 -We were lucky to get the chance to review the picnic basket set which my 19 month old son loves. The quality is great with thick fabric that will easily go through the wash. The little details in the set are awesome, I love the picnic blanket that comes with the set as I feel it completes it. My son loved playing with the set, making sandwiches with all the pieces and enjoying his strawberries. The basket it comes in is handy as you can take it anywhere with you and store it altogether nicely. The bonus is my 4 year old also likes playing with this too and keeps wanting to have picnics!

13/10/2021 -The Hape DJ Mix & Spin Studio has kept my 14-month-old boy's attention since he opened it almost two weeks ago! He loves to press all the different buttons and orchestrate his own music with accompanying colourful lights. He is especially fond of the tempo slider switch and the DJ turntable which are unique and interesting aspects to the toy. I can see he understands the effect these have on the music playing which is really cool. The quality of the toy seems great, and it has a stylish wooden panel on the front, whilst being light and an awesome portable size. I love that this toy is aimed at a broad range of ages (12 months to 5 years) and can see how my child will get more and more use out of it as grows older and can begin to learn the different piano keys and start to play his own beginner tunes (thanks to the handy key stickers and small music book included!) And for his current stage, the easy-to-use buttons and interesting sound effects (there are a LOT! Including several different instruments and other sound effects/animal noises) have kept him engaged. My son loves this and I would definitely recommend it!

12/10/2021 -We were given the opportunity to review the Hape DJ Studio. My 18 month old absolutely loves it, ever since we opened it we've been having dance parties with it. I really like that there are 5 different options for the keyboard - piano, guitar, organ, drums, and a mix of animal and other sounds. My son loves this final setting and it's provided a lot of opportunities for conversation with him, talking about the different sounds we can hear.I can see how this will be a great toy for years to come. There are stickers provided that you can use to label the notes on the keyboard keys, and an accompanying songbook with a few songs that kids (and adults) can learn to play. The other DJ parts (turntable, ability to speed up and slow down the music, etc) have also kept my toddler entertained. I've definitely has a few more moments to myself since this came into the house. If you're little one likes music then I definitely recommend this one. I can see it bring played with for years to come.

07/10/2021 -My 2.5yr old daughter got the opportunity to receive the toddler picnic basket set and the smile on her face when she opened it was priceless. She immediately started to play and create a picnic scenario. She had a great time setting up the picnic, pouring her imaginary water and making a sandwich. It was interesting and enjoyable watching my daughter be creative with such a simple yet so effective toy set that really got her being creative and bringing her imaginary play to life. The toys are of great quality and made from a nice soft fabric. Each product is beautifully stitched with no loose threads etc. Products are all of a good size for toddlers wee hands and nice and light weight easy for them to carry around. The basket is perfect too for keeping everything together when not in use. Imaginary play is crucial for childrens development and creativity and I feel this toy set is perfect to encourage their imagination and get their little creative minds going all while having so much fun. I would definitely recommend this toy set. Thanks so much for the chance to review this product.

06/10/2021 -Absolutely amazing quality, Hape never disappoints. Kept my 11 month old son well entertained. Being able to attach it to things makes it super versatile. So far we have strapped it to his pickler triangle and to his stroller and he loves it. You could attach it to their cot, highchair, the options are endless! The size of the board is very convenient, not too big but not too small, perfect for those little hands to explore and to pop in the nappy bag for on the go play. Our favourite features were the Zebra, when you turn its head it makes a clicking sound, and the rolling ball with beads inside. If you're looking for a sensory play based gift for your little one, I highly recommend this!
