An Afternoon of Fun at Hamleys with Lamaze

When Boo was a baby I was really particular about what toys she had, in fact when I say particular what I mean is that 90% of her toys were Lamaze, so when they invited us to Hamleys this afternoon for a storytelling session with Milkshake presenter Jen Pringle, we were thrilled to get a chance to take a trip down memory lane with Lamaze and see the new toys from the Autumn/Winter 2015 collection.

Hamleys is a special place for me, living in central London for some of my childhood meant that Hamleys really was my local toy shop and despite now being an adult, I still get excited when I step over the famous threshold and with ‘the finest toy shop in the world’ turning 255 next month they’re still offering magic and wonder for children.. and plenty of adults too!

Lamaze toys, from TOMY have a simple but ingenious approach when it comes to toys; they believe that by offering ‘The Right Toy At The Right Time’ will help babies grow, discover and learn through play. I remember one of the best things I loved about Lamaze toys were that they helped to inspire daily discoveries for Boo, even in the early days and being designed with two levels of play – packed full of surprises for both Mummy and Boo to discover and independent play – they grew with Boo in the crucial first year of play and development.

Throughout the afternoon, Boo and her friend Poppy got the opportunity to sit down with the lovely Jen Pringle from Channel 5’s Milkshake and enjoy story time with a scrummy buffet and to top it all, magical and blingy (trust me when you’re 4, bling is EVERYTHING!) face painting.

Massive thank you to all the team at Lamaze and Hamleys not forgetting Jen Pringle for a perfect afternoon rekindling our love for baby toys and having a blast.
