Sweetcorn Bites
Price: £2.49
Available from: Ocado
Initial Reaction: We love sweetcorn in our house but we rarely eat it outside of the summer when sweetcorn in season
Pros:
- Grown, picked and packed in the UK
- Handy sized bits perfect for little hands (and big ones), my one year old daughter absolutely loves these and so does my son.
- Can be microwaved in the bag, so quick and easy to cook, although can be steamed, boiled etc too.
- Contain no artificial ingredients no GMO nuts or gluten .
- Can be frozen if you wish, means you have handy sized corn on the cob to steam for the kids tea.
- Both of my children have thoroughly enjoyed eating these. They are fun and tasty and a good way of getting veg into them.
- Good quality, didn’t have a bad piece, kept in the fridge for several days and was still ok.
- Website has some useful resources and recipes coming soon.
Cons:
- Can work out a little expensive compared to frozen sweet corn but to other fresh sweet corn it is cheaper and they are British.
Value for money? Yes, for fresh good quality sweet corn that is grown here in the UK I would pay this. Especially when it gets a bit warmer and we can have a BBQ!
Overall Reaction:
I thought these were a great idea, they are perfect for kids to hold and are fun for them to eat. I prefer to eat food in season as it usually tastes better and I love things that are British not imported so for me these are a winner all round.

Porkchop and Mouse children’s book app for iPad.
Porkchop and Mouse children’s book app for iPad.
Price:£1.49
Available from:The App store.
Suitable from 
reschool 2-5
Initial Reaction: I showed this app to my three year old. He immediately wanted to explore the picture, and enjoying the results.
Pro’s:This is a really good app for my three year old. He can explore the pictures and have the story read to him. My five year old can change mode and read the story for himself, so it works for slightly older children as well.
Con’s: it was difficult to turn the page, took us a while to figure it out. We recently got an update which gives a page turning tutorial so I presume a number of people had the same problems.
Value for money:It is a reasonable price for this type of app.
Overall Reaction:Overall I really liked this app. It is fun and educational for both my older children.

Earth Friendly Organic Baby Bubble Bath Lavender
Earth Friendly Organic Baby Bubble Bath Lavender
Price: £6.12
Available from: Ocado, Goodness Direct, Boots
Initial Reaction: Really great that this product is organic and I love the idea of it, as it makes it perfect for bedtime baths.
Pros:
- Organic ingredients
- Really lovely bubbles and the smell is divine I could quite happily use this myself as it is a lovely, relaxing yet not overpowering smell.
- Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, not tested on animals.
- You don’t need much of this so hopefully will last a while.
Cons:
- Is quite expensive compared to some other bubble baths on the market but for organic it’s about right and it does help relax the little ones at bath time so worth the money.
Value for money? I think it is, it really helped my children (and me) relax before bedtime and you don’t need a lot to get the relaxing effect.
Overall Reaction: The packaging is really lovely and overall I was impressed with the calming effect it had on my little ones. The organic ingredients make it perfect for delicate skin and the smell is just wonderful.
