{WIN} A magical Fairy Door

October 5, 2016 by Laura le Roux 20 Comments

Opening Fairy Door | SA Mom BlogsThere are so many toys out there today. Many of them tech based and many of them require the child to use very little imagination. When Just Fun Kidz contacted me about reviewing their Opening Fairy Doors, I literally jumped with joy! I love this toy, I LOVE IT! 

So what are the Opening Fairy Doors? They are these cute little doors that come with a choice of two fairies. Your child then sets them up against a wall and the door opens up and leads into a magical world they create.Opening Fairy Door | SA Mom Blogs

Kiara loves it. She set it up immediately and it is still up in the lounge. Her and Jack play with it all the time. I love that they have to use their imagination to play with this toy. They have the “props” but the game, the world they create is all up to them.

“The realistic looking doors are miniature in size and easily attach to a wall, allowing them to open and close. Opening Fairy Doors come in three different colours and include a variety of accessories such as a window, mailbox, fence and stickers that allow kids to decorate and customize their own wonderful, magical Fairy World!”

Girl moms these would make stunning Christmas Gifts!!! You can get them from ToyZone, Toy Kingdom, Hamleys and Liliputs. Opening Fairy Door | SA Mom Blogs

We have an Opening Fairy Door valued at R400 to giveaway to one lucky reader.

    My favourite game as a child was hide and seek.This was my favourite game because all my cousins and I would always play together.It was really fun, because everyone wanted to play and we made it into a huge game of hide and seek all the time.I still remember how one of my cousins would always have a hard time finding us and that was hilarious because she would start to get mad a lot.

Julia Zatta did a talk on LinkedIn, but I found what she said to be very applicable to any media you are putting out there, even for blog posts or any content. Something she said was to use those expressions that you are known for, use emotional, sensory stories and use numbers to grab attention.
