It’s banging

January 20, 2009 //  by Uju//  4 Comments

In our family, every year is the age of Aquarius. February is birthday month with both our sons born two weeks apart and my own special day falling somewhere in between.

‘I think I heard something about February being cancelled this year,’ my husband mutters as he reviews his post-Xmas bank statement.

I’m a little ahead of the curve having already picked up a
couple of pressies for the boys – including this cracking Musical Band by Plan Toys. I bought the last one on display at Felix and Lilys in Islington (it was their best-selling Christmas toy).

What I love about this drum kit, aside from its obvious cool, is that it’s small enough to fit in the kids’ room and not so loud that it will cause a riot in our neighbourhood.

Plan Toys specialise in eco-friendly playthings for kids age newborn and up. Visit the web site if you’re ready to let the Animal loose in your home.

    Lol Don’t worry, this kit is strictly for the bedroom and depending on how loud he gets, maybe even further up or out!

    Well if you don’t buy it I will!
    This puts other products out of the league.
