Hola chicos, as I’ve mentioned before, we are finalists for the MAD Blogging Awards and the Brilliance in Blogging Awards in the Video category. Fellow bloggers will know it can be difficult to find time to commit to your blog and social media channels (especially if you run a weekly Linky too!), but we do try to add videos to our YouTube channel as often as we can, and always try to do fun things which involve all of us. I wanted to share with you some fun I had with my girls making a video about the revamped Mr Frosty toy.
It has been said that you shouldn’t work with children or animals, but one thing is for sure, I enjoy making videos for the blog with my cheeky little monkeys! After all, its a family and lifestyle blog so the more I can involve them the better :-).
With the recent warm weather, we decided to take the opportunity to make some frosty frozen treats when we were sent the new Mr Frosty toy to try out. The girls had a lot of fun, particularly Bella of course as she can be more involved.
Here is our video:
We all had a great time, especially when we got to try the treats at the end! LOL I really love involving them as much as I can with the blog. It’s a great way of having fun and ‘working’ at the same time! 😉
I hope that you like it!
Did you have a Mr Frosty when you when young? Will you like to relive this experience with your kids? Will you get one for your kids? Leave a comment below as I would love to read what you think.

Thanks for stopping by,
Love you all ❤️

This looks great. My children are too young for this right now but in the future activities like this I think are brilliant. It looks like your children had loads of fun!

I am old enough to remember the original Mr Frosty. I asked Father Christmas for one….And I never got one!!!! I was so disappointed,
I have to say that now we have a ‘cheats version’ ….Mr Frosty in the shape of our American Style fridge freezer that can give you crushed ice on demand…Not as much fun as doing it with the kids and I won’t get to exercise my biceps self-crushing it.
Thanks for sharing and hosting, Franca. #KCACOLS
Aaah, I had one of these when I was a kid and I SO want to get one for my two! Loved this – any toy that produces edible treats at the end is a winner in my book. And best of luck in the awards – if I can pluck up the courage to go on my own I’ll see you there! 🙂 #KCACOLS
I remember Mr Frosty! I didn’t have one, but I certainly recognise it and remember the desire for one, the dreams of what I could make with it, and how I would be the envy of all my friends…! Hope you and the girls enjoy your ice pops/ice poles (I have never been sure of the correct terminology). #KCACOLS
No I never had one. I am not sure we had those when I was young here. Either way, It looks fun, I am glad you liked it 🙂 I agree including your children in the blog can be a lot of fun. I get the kids involved in taking photos and including their work in different photos. #KCACOLS.
Yessss!! A true trip down memory lane!!! I need me one of these now I can truly appreciate it! #KCACOLS
Such fun to make, I can see why the girls enjoyed this #KCACOLS
I had a Mr Frosty when I was younger, I remember sharing it with my brothers and trying all the different favours, it was delicious and so much fun. Glad you all enjoyed it.
Amanda. #kcacols
First time seeing one of these but it looks like something my daughter would love. She’s a big fan of freeze pops and has been wating all winter for them to come back to stores #CKACOLS
I used to see this in the Argos catalogue very Christmas but Santa never took the hint! Maybe when my daughters old enough we could give it a whirl!
Oops forgot #KCACOLS!
This toy was the holy grail when I was little! A lovely video, and your little ones are just gorgeous xx #KCACOLS
We never had one but I can remember looking at them in the catalogues and really wanting one! Mr Frosty and Big Trak were the two things I wanted but never got!
Thanks for sharing and for hosting the link #KCACOLS
oh this looks like sop much fun – children just love doing things together with parents – I love the way you involve your children in the blogging/vlogging! Although mine are much older they always ask about my blog, always want to read it and always try to thunk of new ideas. I’m actually thinking of starting to vlog with them – a series of mummy and teen talk sessions – will let you know how it goes! #KCACOLS
OMG I remember Mr Frosty! Must get one of these for my little girl! x #KCACOLS
No way Mr Frosty!! That’s a blast from the past! It was just going out of “fashion” by the time I was old enough for it (around 2000) but I still desperately wanted one haha! #KCACOLS
I’ve never heard of Mr. Frosty before, but it looks like so much fun! I so look forward to doing activities like this with my son as he grows(: I love how you involve your kiddos with the blog-it really is a fun way to integrate work and life! <3 Thanks so much for hosting #KCACOLS
I’d forgotten all about Mr Frosty and had no idea they still made them – what fun! I’d love to do this with my two! #KCACOLS
I saw your video for this up on youtube. it looks really fun! I remember having something similar when i was little x #KCACOLS
It looks like great fun, and Bella is a YouTube star in the making! #KCACOLS
ahhh I remember this! so much cool stuff in the 80s/90s #KCACOLS
Good Luck with the awards! Mr Frosty sure looks like so much fun to me and I love the video too! 🙂 #KCACOLS
Aw I wanted one of these soooo badly when I was young. I think it was on my christmas list every year and I never got it! So I may just have to relive my youth through Taylor and buy her this – love that they are bringing it back. This is such a useful and informative video of the product – and lovely to see all the family get involved! xx #KCACOLS
completely takes me back to being a kid! #KCACOLS
I never had one, but I always wanted one! It looks like so much fun. Now I know what I was missing all those years ago! #KCACOLS
I always wanted one of these as a child! This has brought back memories!! I remember someone saying that they can chop your fingers off (lol!!) so I was never allowed one (pretty sure that’s not true!) #KCACOLS
Lovely. Yes, I always wanted one when I was younger and never got one!! I used to think my parents were sooooo mean! Ha ha. We will have to buy one to atone. x#KCACOLS
I always wanted a Mr Frosty when I was small and when I got one I was made up. The reality of crushing ice compared to the advert took the shine off a little. Still remember the old ad! “And a squirt of flavour from Percy Penguin. Thank you, Percy!”.
#KCACOLS
Loved watching yours and Bella’s review of Mr Frosty! I watched your vlog with Ella for the first time and she absolutely loved watching it with me too 🙂 Great review, I remember having a Mr Frosty when I was little too, it was the toy of the moment and everyone wanted one I remember. So lovely to see a toy like this come back, I wouldnt have known if I hadnt see your review either! Emily #KCACOLS
Oh I remember Mr Frostys! I really wanted one growing up…this version looks good. You look like you had a lot of fun! All the best for the awards lovely…I can’t imagine committing to making videos, running a linky AND finding time to write, read, tweet etc. Amazing
#KCACOLS
Aww this takes me back to my childhood!! Love your videos, it looked like such a fun thing to do together 🙂 Good luck in the awards lovely, I always amazed how much you do with youtube, linky and blog as well…I’m rooting for you! Thanks for hosting #KCACOLS xxx
Ohhh I am so jealous! I spent my whole li wanting a MR Frosty and I never got one! I have held it against my parents for the last thirty six years! Looks like fun, maybe I should get one for my kids and I can re-live my youth! I’m always scared it wouldn’t live up to my expectations now but this does look great! #KCACOLS
I never had a Mr Frosty but always wanted one! Looks great and your girls are so cute! Thanks for hosting #KCACOLS x
Such a lovely review from you and Bella 🙂 I remember Mr Frosty but I didn’t ever receive one! It looks like a really fun thing to do. Really good luck with the awards. You have my vote xx
Aw, Franca your daughter is so adorable and you can tell that she genuinely enjoyed this toy. Looked like it was a little difficult to crunch the ice but if the kids are happy, mama’s happy! Lol. I wonder if this is available in Canada?

My mummy would have loved to have a Mr Frosty when she was younger. Might have to put this on her summer wish list! We love unboxing videos too! #KCACOLS
I adore Mr Frosty! Remember the ad from when it was first out? “Mr Frosty is such fun, he makes drinks for Everyone!” #KCACOLS
Oh I had a mr frosty and loved it, can’t wait to use it with my kiddies when they are enough! #KCACOLS xx
Me encanto el vídeo del hombrecito de nieve para raspadilla típico de los 80 ‘s
Lindas Y la participación de Sienna al comienzo me pareció lo máximo
I have never had a Mr Frosty but they look like a lot of fun! Now you need the sun to keep shining. Although we frequently have lollies when the sun’s hiding! 😉 Thanks for hosting #kcacols
I always really wanted one of these when I was a kid, they look like so much fun! Your girls are so cute xx #KCACOLS
I had one of these very briefly as a kid. I remember saving up for it and within a few weeks of having it I’d broken the handle that you use to grind the ice. I was heartbroken! 🙁
Oh wow! Blast from the past, haha. I didn’t have a Mr Frosty personally but my best friend did, we use to have a great time 😀 Goodness, I had no idea they still made these, I love it! 😀 xx
Awe Franca i love this review! I never had a Mr Frosty as a child but it looks like so much fun! #KCACOLS
Oh this does indeed look like fun…. No I never did have a Mr Frosty when I was younger. It looks like Bella really enjoyed Mr Frosty. Such sweet pictures of you and Bella! Xx #KCACOLS
Perfect snippet of family life, I love little lady saying Freezer….she is a pro. Hehe takes some arm muscles to break the ice up..I had one as a child..lots of fun memories! You are amazing to do a video so well with the kiddies, I attempted and Leo just went…no I want to watch a movie. Thumbs up! #KCACOLS
I too was a child deprived of a Mr. Frosty 🙁 and a soda stream! Great video Franca you both make a great team xx #kcacols
How sweet! Looks such fun! I never had a Mr Frosty, and am actually not that big a fan of ice lollies, ice cubes or ice cream. But I bet my little ones would love this! #KCACOLS
I’ve never seen a Mr Frosty before, maybe we didn’t have them in Denmark. Great video, your girls are such stars and I love your facial expressions at times 😀 #KCACOLS

I was just talking about Mr Frosty yesterday! I was totally addicted to slush puppies as a kid, and Mr Frosty was in constant use in the summer 😀 #KCACOLS
