Little Live Pets Lil’ Ladybugs Garden Playset & Single Pack Review

amomentwithfranca · 20 August 2017 · 3 Comments

My girls love animals and they dream to have pets at home so they can take care of them. We used to have 2 lovely Persian cats but unfortunately, they are not with us anymore. We don’t have a real pet at home now so the girls dream with pretend pets for now. That is why we love Little Live Pets by Character as they have lots of fun products such as birds, butterflies, mice, fluffy pets, frogs, etc. We recently reviewed their Hatching Chick which the girls were fascinated by.

This time we received one of the latest products from their Little Live Pets range. We got the Little Live Pets Lil’ Ladybugs Single Pack and Ladybugs Garden Playset. My girls like seeing ladybugs when they are outside, they find them really pretty.

These ladybugs are so adorable! They are so tiny and cute that my girls fell in love with them straight away! I opened the box with Bella as it says that it is for kids aged 5 and over so I thought it would be more suitable for her as she is 7 years old. But I also wanted to check first to see if it could perhaps be suitable for Sienna to play afterwards with supervision.

What is included in the pack

Inside the playset you can find the following:

  • 1x Ladybug
  • 1 x LR44 batteries included for the ladybugs
  • 1x Baby Ladybug
  • 1x Playset
  • 1x Instructions Booklet

Little Live Pets Lil’ Ladybugs Single Pack – £5.99

The Little Live Pets Lil’ Ladybugs Single Pack is the perfect present for my girls! They fell in love with Lil’ Ladybugs! They move, play, and are so beautiful just like real ladybugs!

The ladybug comes in a cute dome jar style packaging to display the ladybug in once you have finished playing. One is supplied. I didn’t realise about this so ours went to the bin, what a shame but if you got one please keep the packaging and don’t make the same mistake as us, so your little ones can display the ladybug.

One of the things that I love the most was that batteries are included. At the start when we opened it for the first time I was worried we wouldn’t be able to play but it was a relief to then read that the batteries are included, so this is great.

The Ladybugs come with small bristles which act as their legs. If you turn the ladybug upside down, you will see the switch to turn it on and off. Turning it on makes the Ladybugs start vibrating which helps to make them move. The little baby ones come with a long antenna which you can click onto their Ladybug mum so they can be pulled along.

There are 12 super cute ladybugs to discover and collect, each with their own distinct pattern. You can collect Shelly Bug, Tiny Angel, Snowbug, Dizzy Daisy, Princess Dotty, Bug Heart, Bug Beam, Teeny Ballerina, Berry Bug, Boppy Bug and the rare one’s Rainbow Spots & Lil’Sprinkles.

They come in a variety of beautiful colours with a shiny finish. Each has their own baby bug that they can pull along, some even have twins! OMG, they are just so cute! Bella was so excited to see the mummy ladybugs pulling their babies along!

We got the Teeny Ballerina Ladybug and her tiny baby! It has a lovely design and it is so colourful and beautiful. Your little ones can collect them and build up their bug family! Bella loves it so much! They also have rare characters, so now we are after those as they look so cool.

The Little Live Pets Ladybugs Garden Playset – £22.99

The Little Live Pets Ladybugs Garden Playset is so much fun. It is very easy to put together. It only has a couple of ramps to attach to the main set on each side which will help the ladybugs get out of the garden.

This adorable playset is a wonderful miniature world for these cute ladybugs to explore. It is mini in size but as you can see big on fun! Your little ones can spend hours watching the ladybugs scoot in, out and all about their little land as they play and discover new ways to go!

Included in this playset, is a lovely ladybug and her baby. We got Spotsy & baby. Spotsy is a little pet bug who loves to tickle and hug. She is super smart with a great big heart. She will never fly away without you. Such a cute little thing. Bella decided straight away that she wanted Spotsy & her baby for her. So we thought that the Teeny Ballerina would be perfect for Sienna to play with.

One of the fun things to do that this playset offers is that you can spin the flower and watch the ladybugs go up, down and all around in their own little town. The Ladybugs should be attached to a small hook which will help to lift it up when you spin the flower. This is a lot of fun. Both my girls love doing this although sometimes it got stuck and needed some help from me, however, most of the times they were okay to spin it.

Sienna Playing

The booklet says that it should not be a toy for children under 3 years old as it contains small parts. Sienna has just turned 3 so we thought she should be okay to play but of course, I was supervising just in case.

She loved the playset and the ladybugs and she plays a lot with it. She definitely needs some supervision as she tends to leave the ladybugs running around on the floor outside the playset so if you are not careful the ladybugs can disappear very quickly, LOL! I had to make sure she didn’t lose any as it would be sad if any of them were lost.

Our Thoughts

Little Live Pets Lil’ Ladybugs have been a success at home. I wasn’t sure initially if they would entertain my girls more than once but I was wrong as they have been playing with it a lot. Bella who is on summer holidays has had access to it more and has chosen to play with it more than her other toys. The same with Sienna. Every day after arriving home from nursery she has gone to play with it straight away too. It has been a lot of fun for them so far!

You can buy this playset and the individual packs from Character or from all good toy stores. See below Amazon details:

Do your kids love Ladybugs? Have you heard of the Little Live Pets range? What do you think of this playset and individual pack? Would your kids love playing with them too?

Love you all ❤️

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍.

✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram

Peruvian food is one of the best in the world! It really is! And eating in Peru is a must! Trying any dish even if it is not neccesary a peruvian dish, it is cooked in such a way that the taste is just incredible! 😋 .While I was there for a couple of weeks I really made sure to try my favourite dishes again as well as new dishes and visiting classic restaurants as well as new restaurants and cafes that have opened in the last 5 years that I haven’t been able to visit. .If you go to Peru and stop in Lima, I really recommend you to visit @elmercadorestaurante, @cafedelima, @bottega_dasso, @panchitasazoncriolla, @eltiomario_restaurant, @lacaffettedilonato, @churreriamanolope, @franklinrestaurante, @lalamiraflores, @osakanikkei, @elpandelachola, @mattoniperu, @laterrazadelpardo, @cafevictoria_barranco among others!
