The summer holidays are in full swing and if your kids are already bored of their toys, I’ve got the perfect competition for you. I’ve teamed up with the lovely people over at Zapff to give one of you the chance to win an interactive Baby Annabell doll.
Baby Annabell is an interactive baby doll with lifelike functions that allow little boys and girls to practice their parenting skills. Baby Annabell comes with lots of different accessories, so your kids can have hours of fun playing out different scenarios with their new friend.
Baby Annabell cries real tears, gets thirsty, burps or uses the potty and it’s up to your little one to find out what Baby Annabell needs when she starts crying. Is she thirsty? Is she sad and wants to be cuddled?
Give her her bottle and see her suckle on it. The water is stored in a water tank inside the doll that fills up when she is fed and empties when she cries real tears. Don’t forget to burp your baby after feeding her. Gently rub or pat her back and hear her burp before putting her down for her nap.
Kids also get to experience the adventure that is potty training – luckily, without accidents and stubborn toddlers. Simply sit Baby Annabell on her botty and if she has drunk from the bottle, you only have to press the heart on her belly, to make her go for a wee.
Did Baby Annabell have a fun day laughing and playing with you? Then, it’s time for bed. Tell her a bedtime story an gently rock your dolly to sleep.
Celebrating my youngest daughter’s birthday at my parents – all the family was there – we had a bbq and hired a bouncy castle for all the kids! It was sunny and hot so a great day!
This Summer has been one that is filled with “firsts” for my 4 year old and we’ve enjoyed experiencing every minute! First dinner on the beach, first funfair, first local festival parade, first time jumping waves solo. We’ve not even taken our week off work and preschool yet and I already love the time we’ve spent together this Summer.
we stayed on a farm for a week, my little girl loved seeing the goats and horses every morning 🙂
My highlight is when my sisterand her children came to visit we sll had great fun. Unfortunately hard seeing each other die to distance and schooling.
