If you child loves soft toys, as mine does, and enjoys art this is a perfect creative toy or gift. The only thing that I would change is a greater selection of colours in the paint. You can buy refills, but these only seem to have one extra colour, it would be great to have a choice of deep blues, yellow or red. It’s a minor point though and overall we thought it was a great toy. Highly recommended.

The days are getting shorter, evenings are getting darker, and Autumn feels like it’s on its way. With Autumn comes more rainy and cool days with children spending longer at home or indoors, so no doubt you will be looking for fun and creative things to do to reduce the time spent on screens.One of the fabulous things that my son has been sent to review lately is an Airbrush Plush cuddly animal from Canal Toys. These come in three variations, a unicorn, wildcat and puppy, and we were sent the wildcat. I must admit I wasn’t sure what to expect from a paintable soft toy, but it has proved a big hit at home.
