When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday is on November 29th this year, however, normally, deals start to appear the week before the actual day and so it is good to be prepared and be on the look out for early deals.

The Cookeez Makery Oven Playset - Baked Treatz lets toddlers and children bake their own best friend. How cool is that? It makes a warm, deliciously scented plush friend which we love. One reviewer said, "my 3 year old loved this. Provided loads of fun for her and her 6 year old sister to go through the 'recipe' and make a little pet. There was lots of fighting over whose go it was, which is normally a good sign that it's worth playing with."
Everything you need to make the friend comes in the box too which is handy. Another reviewer commented, "I got this for my six year old little boy and he absolutely loved it. We got a mixing bowl and water and emptied the sachets into the bowl along with the water and after a little bit of stirring my little boy used the mould that was provided to make a dough cat. He then placed in the oven and turned the dial and a minute and a half later, we could hear purring and he open the door and there was a warm lovely smelling cat toy. My little boy was amazed and kept pressing its belly to hear it purr. The dough comes with a little bag so you can keep it sealed to reuse and you can put the toy back up into the top of the oven to redo it everything overall it was a fun experience."

With six hungry character cards, your toddler can explore colours, counting, flavours and numbers whilst playing creatively.
