Let’s play What’s that Smell? at the Hoopers!!!
There are some things that become memories that last and I’m sure our recent games night will be one of them. I know that every time we meet up with our friends the story will come out again for at least a year. The story about how Alan hosted a games night and spewed all over the carpet! […]
Puppy Dog Pals Toys
Last Christmas we introduced two little tiny dwarf hamsters into our family. Two adorable little balls of fluff. We never really knew that over the following few months we’d find out that they have two different personalities. The Hoopster Hamsters (when no one is looking) are seriously training for something! We received a bundle of Puppy Dog Pals […]
Stikbot Farm Movie Set Review
We’d seen Stikbot in various forms in the shops and knew the concept of the product. For anyone who isn’t familiar with it, Stikbot is a posable figure for creating stop motion animation. It is possible to create stop motion with normal toys. Stikbot has the addition of suction cups to its hands and feet, […]
Gel A Peel Fuzzy Kit Review
We’d seen these on display the last time we were in Toys R Us. Both Abigail and Imogen thought they looked fun and crafty. Then fast forward to the beginning of May when we were at a Blogging conference, where we met the PR company for Gel-A-Peel. We asked if it would be possible to review […]
Whacky Shots World Warriors Review
Since the Hoopsters channel has started to grow, we’ve been getting quite a few toys for review. Last week we received a Whacky Shots Battle Pack from Brainstorm. Whacky Shots World Warriors Battle Pack From the first inspection, Whacky Shots seems to be a simple catapulting style target game. In reality, there are multiple levels to […]
Meegos and Mini Meegos Series 1 | Collectible Crocheted Soft toys
Our little Hoopsters are obsessed with collections. I mean they will start to collect anything. My issue is that most of the collectibles they go for are small plastic items that hurt your feet when you find them on the carpet. Today we’re looking at the Meegos and Mini Meegos Collectible set. We were given […]
Zoomer Zupps Pretty Ponies Toy Review
I’d seen these at our local supermarket recently and wondered what they were. Zoomer has a few different toys out over Christmas. So What did the Zoomer Zupps Pretty Ponies toy do? We were sent “Sugar” to unbox and review by Spin Master. There were only one of our Hoopsters that were up for […]
A Family Games night with Randomise
As the nights draw in, we’ve been getting that trapped in the house feeling. Abigail had started to show an interest in the games console, Imogen became more glued to her iPhone. Our once social night in with the kids started to become separated. When in Scarborough we dug out a word game and split off into […]
JoJo Siwa Microphone and Bodacious Bow
Not long now until Christmas and finding the right gifts is getting harder and harder. Abigail is insisting on a Dog or a Dog! So I’m sure anything less than canine, will not do, but since we started reviewing toys on The Hoopsters youtube channel we’ve found a collection of toys that seem to stick! […]
Making Bath bombs with EXPERImake Scent-Sational Spa
We’ve tried all different DIY science experiments and so far we’ve not had a lot of success. Our biggest repeat failure is slime production. So until we know exactly what we’re doing, Science kits are the way forward. This week the Nickelodeon EXPERImake Scent-sational Spa kit landed at our door for review. WOW! Make your own Bath […]
Our Girls build the Meccano Off Road Racer
Meccano has been around for years and although I remember it from my childhood, it is something I’d never built. Spin Master offered us the chance to test out and review the Off Road Racer kit. I thought this would be a great chance for our Girls to try out something totally different. Abigail has […]
Crazy fun with the Boom Ball Game
Sunday afternoon in the Hooper House. We’d been for a Sunday Lunch and thought instead of curling up on the sofa and chilling, maybe we should play a game as a family. The Summer was only just still tempting me out of the warmth of the house. So we should really make the most of […]
