ZAK STORM! Hover craft, coins and app review

My son Bodhi is now six years old he is at that real see it want it age ( great isn't it ) so when the chance came along to review the new toy range from Zak storm i could hardly turn it down now could i ? 

So who is Zak storm? 

Zak is a teenage boy who steals his Dad’s necklace and gets sucked into The Seven Seas of the Bemuda Triangle during a surfing competition, The stolen necklace Zak has stolen, is actually the mythic eye of The Sea of Beru! Zak ends up as captain of a ship called The Chaos, and, along with a band of misfits, and a talking sword called Calabrass, he travels across The Seven Seas trying to find his way home!

Hover Vehicle £14.99 ( smythstoys )

Speed into high-flying action with Zak and his racing-red Hover Vehicle, which features a cool missile launcher for lots of battling play! The vehicle includes a Zak action figure and a collectibles treasure coin. Just scan the code into the free down loadable Zak Storm Super Pirate app to receive digital rewards — such as weapons, powers, worlds, and health that help you progress.

Zak storm collectible coins 4 pack £4.99 ( smythstoys ) 

You’ll find lots of hidden surprises inside this colourful 4-pack of collectibles treasure coins. Each coin features a unique QR code that you scan into the Zak Storm Super Pirate app to reveal digital rewards, including weapons, powers, and health. The more coins you collect, the more loot you get! 

So not only can you free play with the toys ( other play sets available online ) you can play online via the free app and you can watch the cartoons ( we watch on pop channel ) Bodhi really enjoyed scanning the QR codes from the coins and finding out what digital reward to would get. Him and his dad have taken to playing the game together ( i think this is partly to do with it being loaded on daddy's phone) but its nice to see them both enjoying the game. Its free to download.

I wish more cartoons had toys and apps that linked back into the TV show, I can't say i fully understand the workings of my six year old but i know when he is happy and bless him he is most happy when he is playing , having phone time or control of the TV remote so i would say that Zak storm has ticked all of these boxes, my favourite part? definitely when we cuddle up together to watch a episode of zak storm on TV just being bedtime.

MOKURU ( the Amazing desk toy ) * REVIEW & GIVEAWAY *

In Japan, “wood” translates to “moku”, and “flipping” translates to “kuru”. That’s how the the name, “MOKURU” came to life, and this " fidget stick' ( As Bodhi calls it ) really does come to life when used.

Now unless you have been living in a cave for the last six months you will have no doubt seen a fidget spinner, I personally dislike the spinners but when our MOKURU arrived i was very pleased at just how different it was to a spinner. Bodhi and his dad have spent hours trying out new trips & flips its pretty amazing what you can do with this little green stick! My dad even asked if it had batteries or magnets, he was also very impressed

MOKURU is suitable for everyone old and young alike, Just playing with MOKURU for a few minutes a day can help you sharpen your focus and hand-eye coordination. No matter what tricks you decide to practise, playing with MOKURU can give you endless hours of fun. Bodhi has gotten so good at flipping this MOKURU over just the last few day and will sit at the kitchen table playing with it giving me peace to crack on with the dinner! 

MOKURU is an amazing desk toy crafted with quality beech wood. It has a simple design with endless possibilities that will test your creativity and dexterity. Play with MOKURU for fun or sharpen your skills and style to become a master. You can even play MOKURU with friends. It’s totally up to you, You can buy MOKURU from amazon I would advice against buying a cheaper own brand version Bodhi's cousin brought these after seeing Bodhis ( He took it to afternoon tea with us ) And the cheaper versions are harder to use and i found less enjoyable to use. 

I have a giveaway for two lucky reader to win a MOKURU ( I have no control over the colour the winners will be sent ) please enter the rafflecopter below

* I WAS SENT OUR MOKURU TO REVIEW IN EXCHANGE FOR THIS REVIEW & GIVEAWAY * 

IMC Mickey mouse clubhouse Fire set * PLAY & REVIEW *

when we signed up to review a new range of toys from IMC all i knew was it was mickey mouse fire house who knew what was coming our way, When the doorbell rang and a HUGE box was given to me with IMC across the sides i was like a kid at Christmas! so you can only imagine how Bodhi was when we opened the box together, 

We had been sent the Mickey mouse clubhouse - to the rescue fire station ( RRP £35 ) the Mickey mouse clubhouse - emergency fire truck ( RRP £25 ) and to top it all off Mickey mouse clubhouse - Mickey & Donald to the rescue figure set ( RRP £7 ) Bodhi wanted to get playing right away this is when the only down side of the range came to light, All of the items are very well kept in place within the packaging via screws / string / plastic and all sorts of crazy things! if i had known this before hand i wouldn't have let Bodhi unbox it all with me ( Also a good thing to know before giving this on Christmas morning or a birthday ! ) I had to get Hubby to take it all of out the boxes once Bodhi was asleep. 

The other slight draw back is the sticker sheet ! The fire house has over 40 stickers that you need to put in the right places, the instructions are pretty clear its just a little bit of a faff and if Bodhi was hanging around while waiting for this to be done i could see myself getting a little bit stressed.

Once its all fitted into place and the stickers are on the fire house is a pretty cool toy! comes with a Mickey & Mini figure and lots of fire fighting equipment.  Slide down the fireman’s pole, train in the training room and put out fires with the expandable hose. You can even have a little sleep in between shifts with the pull out bed! Packed full of features and fire fighter accessories, this is the ultimate play set for Mickey fans. Special Mickey and Minnie figures activate the lights & sounds when you place them in the control room seat, its magic! 

• Over 12 accessories including a cat to rescue!
• Includes magic Mickey & Minnie figures which activate lights and sounds.
• 3 realistic fire station sounds.
• Compatible with the Mickey Emergency Fire Truck (Each sold separately)
• Expandable hose and crane feature
• Contents: Fire Station play set Minnie and Mickey figures
• Batteries Required: 2 AAA batteries (Not included)

The Fire truck alone would be an amazing imagination toy for any child ( the Range is aimed at children ages 36 month plus due to smaller parts ) Bodhi is five in the new year and i can see him getting years of play out of this! Like the fire station the fire truck also comes with a figure this time another Mickey and the truck lights up and makes noises. 

• Magic Mickey figure which activates lights and sounds
• Features realistic fire engine sounds
• Set is packed full of fire fighting tools
• Push the hose to shoot out the water
• Contents: A Fire Truck and magic Mickey figure
• Batteries Required: 2 AA batteries (included)

As if this wasn't enough we also got sent a double figure set of Mickey and Donald fire fighters they came equipped with their special Fireman suits, a hose and an extinguisher, they are ready for any fire emergency! Set contains 1 x Mickey figure, 1 x Donald, 2 x accessories. Figures are fully articulated. So working at our fire station we do have x3 Mickeys x1 Mini and x1 Donald but you can never have too many small figures as you can be sure one ( or two ) will always go missing !!! 

Bodhi loves This play set and its amazing sitting back and watching his imagination at work, Poor Mickey and the gang have been very busy helping out all sorts of problems ( I think we have Fireman Sam to blame for some of this ! ) 

Bodhi said " I Love playing the hero and saving the day, The set is lots of fun but i do get cross when they don't fit into the fire truck " 

Over all this is a wonderful play set and it will be on lots of children Christmas lists this year i am sure! Thank you once again to IMC for sending these toys out for us to test, We really enjoy doing this in return for the review.
