I would like to recommend the Scuttlebug for some outdoor and indoor summer fun for all toddlers this summer! Oh what amazing fun your little one can have in the holidays scooting around the house or garden. There is no chance of them getting bored with the Scuttlebug, and you will be so highly impressed with it, that you will be recommending it to all your loved ones who have young children! Just take a look at this cute little Scuttlebug:-
The Scuttlebug is an insect inspired innovative trike for toddlers created by Mookie. It is extremely portable and easy to use, and the simple 3-step folding system allows the Scuttlebug to be ready in seconds. No patience required from either toddler or grown up – now, that sounds good! The range of colours and design is inspired from real bugs – ladybirds, beetles and bumblebees. They are truly wonderful and any young child will fall in love with it immediately! The Scuttlebug relies totally on toddler power which we all know is a non-stop energy source!
My Nephew is 3 years old (rather tiny for his age), and absolutely loves his Scuttlebug. He is constantly on it, and now that the good weather is here, there is no stopping him outside with it. The huge bonus of this is that he is so exhausted from riding his Scuttlebug, that getting to sleep at night is done so with the upmost ease! My sister loves it!
Feature and benefits are as follows:-
• Safe, reliable and durable
• Compact and lightweight to carry
• Easy to fold for storage or transport
• No assembly required
• Helps develop balance and steering skills
• 3 step folding action
• Smooth, quite and easy to ride
• Front wheel steering for great manoeuvrability
• Great Fun!!!
Scuttlebug from Mookie is available from all major retailers in a range of bright fun colours - Red Ladybird, Blue Dragonfly, Pink Flowerbug and Yellow Bumble Bee with an RRP of £29.99.

If you like to prank people (which is always a lot of fun!) then this Rattling Scorpion Surprise could just be the thing for you! This is designed to fit inside a card and looks like it holds a dried scorpion sample. But when opened it will make an incredible startling combination of vibration and noise - like a real scorpion scampering out of the card, giving the unsuspecting person who opens it a real and very memorable shock.
When I received a sample of this, my two young boys’ couldn’t wait to trick their Granddad with it. None of us knew what to expect, but I can tell you that it made us all jump! How my boys laughed!
It is made from folded card (approx A4 when open) with an elastic band. You twist the band as instructed, fold the card back up, and it’s ready to go. When you open it, the noise is incredibly loud and the vibration will definitely make you jump! It actually does sound like it could be a real scorpion scampering out of the card! The beauty about this is that it can be used again and again to shock and startle whoever you want.
If you want to get hold of the Rattling Scorpion Surprise, you can do from http://www.amazon.co.uk and http://www.zoobookoo.com. Prices are around £4.99.
