Absolutely love this. My children are so excited everyday to see what’s happening next (as am I ) unfortunately only 3 of our 5 caterpillars survived the delivery journey which was a shame. But the 3 we have are amazing ! Will definitely be doing this again next year !
Absolutely fantastic range of products in the dark den kit . Really good quality . Excellent customer service, fast and efficient dispatch and delivery. I have one very happy wee boy. I cannot fault the company or products and will be using them again in future.
This jellyfish has been played with by everyone who has seen it...it's only the middle of the body that glows, but nice feeling and quite strong pullable tentacles.
Fabulous bag, we have 3 kids in the family who struggle to keep attention on specific items. These toys help keep their focus for a good time period. The buttons to work the lights also help them with their hand to eye coordination
Materials used are great, especially as my wee boy is an oral sensory seeker and bites everything. Fruit and veg hold up well against this without losing shape. Baskets are also very sturdy, unlike most retail brands where they snap and bend easily

The cushion and bee are for my grandson who has polymicrogira, partial corpus collasum, cerebral palsy, Epilepsy, autism and a heap more. The vibrating products are excellent for him and the switch activation helps to teach him.
Everyone has had their senses challenged- in a fun and good way! Smells great and doesn’t make a mess everywhere:) I will definitely be buying more, and try a different one:).
Our grandson loved this. He enjoyed expanding and contacting it, which he found relaxing and comforting to do. He thought it was really cool. I have used these for years in an education setting, they are always very popular with the children.
Product is great. Took a bit of time getting it to work as the end just had to be screwed on quite tightly. My daughter is a bit unsure about it but still a good product overall.
