A few weeks ago we went on holiday to Weymouth; it’s quite a long journey for us which means keeping BG entertained. This isn’t always easy, she doesn’t like to strapped in the carseat for any length of time so you have to be creative with her. We were offered the chance to review a nursery rhyme CD called Toybox from The Rainbow Collections so I said yes and kept my fingers crossed that this would help with the car journey or at the very least mean that I didn’t have to sing Old MacDonald a hundred times.
The Toybox CD is full of traditional nursery rhymes with a little bit of twist, bit like X Factor when they make the song their own. They are sung and produced by KK and Sophie Barker of Zero 7 fame. The CD also comes with a book filled with pictures and the words to the rhymes.
BG really loved it, I mean really loved it! Every time a song finished she would ask “more?”
After 3 hours it was slightly annoying but it kept her happy. Some of the songs work and some of them make me cringe but they are aimed at children so I will forgive them. BG’s favourite was of course Old MacDonald but she liked Ring A Ring A Roses too.
Would I Buy It? Yes, it’s one of the better children’s CD’s
It’s available from Amazon, Play, HMV, and Asda. The cheapest I have found it is Amazon and Play for £8.99.
