Amazon have offered 71% off the Tomy mOmma Feeding Range Developmental Meal Set in Orange, selling it at £5.19 instead of £17.99.

• Set up for solids with mOmma

I’ve not used these myself, but have seen them around and about and the reviewers either love or loathe it. You pop water in the base of the bowl to add weight to it so that it can’t be easily picked up – although I’m not sure how much of a deterrent that really is – and the spoon and fork have bulbous ends which apparently mean that when it’s thrown on the floor, it stands up straight, so you’re not having to reach for a clean set of cutlery half way through the meal.

Apparently it’s also not too big for toddler hands, and instead, gives them a firm area to hold onto, which makes sense.

The set is microwave safe, according to a reviewer, although as I recall baby food shouldn’t be microwaved to avoid hot pockets?  But there’s no information on whether it’s machine washable or not, although the reviewers do mention washing it by hand. That would be a deal breaker for me, unfortunately.

There are two undeniable facts about the Tomy Discovery Dome Deluxe – it’s fantastic, and it’s expensive.

At over £50, it’s not a cheap toy, but then, it’s not just a toy either – it’s at least four toys in one and is suitable for a good range of ages.

First, it’s a playhouse and it’s a great size for indoor play as you can just about fit a toddler inside, but wouldn’t be able to fit more than one at a squeeze. It is made of material and plastic so it’s fine for outdoor use, but couldn’t really live outside as it would get ruined pretty quickly.

Apart from the  entrance, it has three other ‘walls’ and each wall is stuffed with activities that are supposed to teach a child colours, numbers and shapes. There’s an ‘entrance bell’ for when they climb in and out of the dome, and a plastic mesh ‘roof’ so that you can see inside from the top if you need to. The four corners have large paws to keep the play dome steady, which for all intents and purposes, it is.

Activities include a ball that you pop in the top cup on one of the walls and it runs down a slide type thing running inside and outside the tent until it comes to a stop at the bottom on the outside. Another is a ‘helter skelter’ ball on the back wall that’s basically a large noisy thing and the littlies love it.

There’s also a set of shaped sorting keys.

The Tomy Discovery Dome Deluxe is bright, colourful, and stands up to a bit of rough and tumble. It’s great for one child to play with alone, and equally great for play dates and so on as everyone can play together and interact with it and each other.

It’s suitable from 1 – 3 years, but I’ve even seen five year old’s having fun with especially the ball and tunnel activities, so while I do think it’s pricy, it’s one of those things that I think is a pretty good investment, especially as it packs up pretty compactly and can be stored under the bed or behind the sofa.

The Thomas the Tank Engine Rock n Roll guitar from Tomy is on sale at Toys R Us for £7.99. It was £19.99 so this is better than half price.

• Rock n Roll with Tomy’s Guitar

This sweet little musical toy plays six different tunes, and has two play modes. As you would expect from this type of toy, it has lights and sounds and requires 3 AA batteries, which are included.

The box contains a guitar, and an instruction sheet.

The guide says it’s suitable for 18 months up, but the reviewers who’ve given it to younger children seem to have the best reviews of it.  One of them says of a six month old “The different buttons and knobs allow the child to change the way the music sounds very easily which they love.”

Apparently it’s good value for money too as the children play for it for good periods of time and it keeps them interested for a long time.  Although it could drive parents crazy too.

The next best price is £11.65 at Amazon, so if you can’t click and collect, you’ll be better off getting it at Amazon, since the postage is £4.95.

Tesco Direct are selling this Winnie the Pooh Grow With Me gym for £23.45 instead of  £35.65; Amazon are currently selling it for £38.72.

• Click HERE to go over to Tesco Direct

I loved Winnie the Pooh when I was small and, if I'm honest, I still have a bit of a soft spot for him now.

My eldest son had Winnie the Pooh curtains when he was first born and various Pooh Bear toys, although not this Tomy Winnie the Pooh Grow With Me gym.

It has a cushioned activity mat and soft toys of Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger that hang on a toy arch over your baby - this will keep them visually stimulated and encourage them to reach out and bat them.

The gym can adapt to each stage of growth from birth to 6 months onwards.

For the 0-6 month stage there's an add-on tummy time cushion to help your baby develop their core muscles, important for being able to progress to rolling over and sitting.

From 6 months onwards, the inflatable cushion allows baby to sit up and play.

The Tomy Winnie the Pooh Grow With Me gym is machine washable and folds for easy storage and portability.

Baby Security are currently selling this Tomy Video Baby Monitor for half price, £74.99 instead of £149.99.

• Click HERE to monitor this great deal

Some people are happy with a baby monitor that just picks up sound, others need a little more reassurance and want a baby monitor that detects motion and breathing too.

If you want eyes in the back of your head - or rather, be able to see upstairs and/or through walls - then you'll need a video baby monitor and to date they haven't been cheap; I know, because I looked into them when I was pregnant with my youngest.

This Tomy video baby monitor has a ton of features that, for some, might seem a bit over the top but if it's going to offer peace of mind to a new parent then I'm all for it.

The parent unit has a 2.4" LCD display and a belt clip so you can carry it around with you without needing to hold it.

It can also be connected to your computer so you can watch your baby on a much bigger screen.  When it's dark the infra red night vision function will kick in so you can keep an eye on your baby in the dark.

Both the parent and baby unit have LCD temperature displays so you can keep monitor the temperature in your baby's room, there's also a timer function too for keeping track of times between feeding, sleeps or when medication was given.

The Tomy video baby monitor has a 250m range and a low battery and out of range alarm, along with  pager function to help you find the parent unit in case you put it down but then don't remember where and can't find it.

There's more - I told you it had lots of features - it also has a sound light level display so you can see if your baby needs you without having the volume turned up, there's also a sound activation mode for when your baby is a little older or you feel happier not having to hear every tiny sound.

One more thing...you can record, play and save your baby's movements too should you want to and it comes with a two-year guarantee.

OK - I think that's enough for you to be getting on with; happy monitoring!

This Bathtime Whirly Washer is £8.99 at Amazon, 47% off the normal £16.99.

• Have bath time fun with the whirly washer

I’m not entirely sure why you’d want to get your child playing with a washing machine, really, but if it makes bath time a little more fun, then that’s a good thing, surely!

This Bathtime Whirly Washer has ‘real life’ washing action, and features a realistic click sound that indicates when the cycle has finished.   Amazon says it has a ‘host of accessories’, although it doesn’t say exactly what those are, but does say ‘including brightly coloured, quick drying cloths, fold-out drying rack, a liquid container and a washing basket.” It does make bubbles, which my little girl would love.

It easily attaches to the side of the bath or the tiles using the suction cups provided.

Reviews are pretty split. Of the 54, twelve reviewers gave it five stars, and 12 only gave it one.  Those who love it say it saved bath time, those who don’t say the door was tough to open and close and that it doesn’t work after a couple of uses, so keep your receipt so you can send it back if you have a dud.

Amazon are selling this Thomas Rock and Roll guitar for £8.13 instead of £19.99.

• Click HERE to rock on over to Amazon

My youngest loves to play Guitar Hero on the Wii and now that he's almost five he's pretty good, but when he was two he found the whole process of rocking out a bit tricky - the guitar was too big but he wanted to play like everyone else.

He would have loved this Thomas Rock and Roll guitar and would have been able to jam alongside the teenagers to the dulcit tones of Santana, Eric Clapton and Rage Against The Machine et al.

The Thomas Rock and Roll guitar is everything you can expect from Tomy – bright, chunky and sturdy so it should withstand even the most outrageous of rock star antics.

It plays six different tunes and has two different play modes; there are, of course, the obligatory flashing lights and there’s even a whammy bar so your little rock god can REALLY be a guitar hero.

It's suitable for young musicians aged 18 months or older, although some reviewers have given them to kiddies younger than this and they've adored it...

"I bought this one for a friends little boy (6 months) as my son was given one when he was just a little older and it was firm favourite for a long time. They are robust and ours has survived my daughter too. My friend's little one also loves this one and loves playing with it."

The 3AA batteries required to power up the Thomas Rock and Roll guitar are included and there's no delivery to pay if you choose the SuperSaver delivery option.

This Tomy Mr Colour Maker toy looks GREAT and Play are selling him for £17.99 instead of his usual £26.99.

• Click HERE to go over to Play

Do you remember learning about colours when you were a little kid; mixing red and yellow poster paint to discover what colour you'd get? I do and it was messy - fun if you're little, not so fun now you're the grown-up.

Tomy have come to the rescue my fellow parents, all hail Mr Colour Maker - I think he's genius and there's so much to tell you about that I'm going to end up going w a y over my word limit (oh the rebellion!).

Mr Colour Maker teaches colour and colour creation in an engaging, and interactive, way AND without a single drop of paint.

He speaks over 50 phrases and gives easy to follow instructions in a clear English voice.  There are three modes of play: You Create Mode, Follow-Me Mode and Sing-a-Rainbow Mode.I

In 'You Create Mode' you hold one of the colour pots over the mixing pot and listens as Mr Colour Maker says hello to the colour “Hello Red, how are you?”, at the same time the mixing pot  turns that colour.

Take another colour pot and do the same thing again, then mix the two colours together with the magic paintbrush and Mr Colour Maker will tell your child which colour they've made, for example, “well done you coloured me green!”

Mr Colour Maker is rather intelligent,  he'll adapt and adjust the difficulty as your child learns.

Shades of colours come into play depending on how long a colour pot is held over the mixing pot for and, as he runs on 4AA batteries, he switches into standby mode after 60 seconds to save power.

Mr Colour Maker is suitable for little people aged two years or over and I'm rather taken with him, can you tell?

Now, sometimes Play fiddle with their prices like Amazon do, so if they have put the price of this Mr Colour Maker up before you have a chance to buy him, then go and have a look at Amazon as well, as they were selling him for the same price.

They are your only two discount options though as Argos, Tesco Direct, Toys R Us and Boots are all selling him for £26.99, in fact Boots have Mr Colour Maker priced at £27.57. You can read the full Mr Colour Maker review here.

Amazon have reduced this Peppa Pig Tomy AquaDraw mat from £14.99 down to £8.89.

• Click HERE to go on over to Amazon

I really like the Tomy AquaDraw mats, they are utter genius as far as I’m concerned.

The Teenagers loved painting when they were little, and my youngest does to, and I loved/love drawing with them too.

But the thing is…it can be time consuming and messy and requires supervision, unless you don’t mind it looking like Jackson Pollock came and decorated your house.

So rejoice in the wonder of the AquaDraw mat!

Firstly, you don’t need any paper – the trees and forests of the world will thank you.

Secondly, you don’t need any paints, pencils, pens or aprons; there is also no need to cover the floor and walls with newspaper – hurrah!

All you need is the mat, the magic pen, stampers and some water.

The pen and stamps are big and chunky, so little hands will be able to get to grips with them easily, and all you do is dip them in the water then stamp and draw away.

The pictres will fade as the water dries and you’re left with a blank canvas to draw on all over again.

If your little one creates a masterpiece or is distraught at the idea of their drawing being lost – take a photograph of it!

Oh joy! Oh rapture! This Tomy Aquadoodle mat  is one of those things likely to have me waxing lyrical for days. The fact that Amazon keep reducing its price has my bank account waxing lyrical too - it's £11.95 now instead of £19.99.

I loved painting as a kid but I’ll confess the words, “Can we do painting Mummy?!” from my kids, when they were really little, used to make my heart sink.

If your kids are older you’ll understand exactly where I’m coming from – we all know painting is fun but before a certain age it’s a real palava: cover EVERYTHING with newspaper – even the walls, unless you’re fearless in the face of poster paints! – get everything set  up, painting shirts on, braced and ready AND…all for a few splats of paint on the paper before your little Rembrandt has had enough and wants to do something else!

This Tomy Aquadoodle mat is the PERFECT solution, I wish they’d been around when the big kids were small!

No setting up, no mess, no clearing up – I mean, really, this is a busy parent’s DREAM activity!

A little bit of  water is all that’s required to let your child’s inner Jackson Pollock run riot – simply fill up the special pens with the wet stuff and DRAW! or use the special paintbrush and stamps to add different effects.

When the Tomy Aquadoodle mat dries out the pictures disappear and you’re left with a clean blank canvas on which to create another masterpiece; brilliant!

I sat down with my little nephew to play with Mr Colour Maker, the new learning toy from Tomy. I'll write a quick review of what the 3 year old and I made of this colourful piece of apparatus!

First impressions were that Mr Colour Maker was a lovely bright colourful toy, ideal for toddlers and young kids. Of course we didn't bother reading any instructions, we just leapt in and experimented with the toy. Batteries weren't included, so we had to scrounge up 4 double As to get us going.

There are 2 settings to this toy. One is the singing setting and the other is the colour mixer. You can choose each setting by opening and closing the lid of the paint pot.

The colour mixer setting is quite good fun. Mr Colour Maker states which colour he would like to be, and you pour the little pots of paint into him accordingly. The toy then lights up with the appropriate colour. If you want to clear the colour, you tip up the paint pot to "pour" out the paint.

As you only have a little pot of red, blue or yellow, he can only be those three colours, and purple, green or orange too. My nephew had no idea how to make the secondary colours from the primary colours, so this was a bit of a learning experience for him. It was very helpful that all the colours were shown on the pot itself. Each secondary colour was flanked by the two primary colours that are used in its making, so it was easy to explain in that fashion.

If making a combination colour, you have to make sure that once you have added the two primary colours that you mix it up with the paintbrush which is attached to the paint pot. The paintbrush tip then glows with the new colour that is made.

The second setting is the rainbow song. The paint pot simply sings all the colours of the rainbow to teach these to your little one.

With the coloured lights, it's a great toy to play with in a darkened room.

The toy seemed quite sturdy. It withstood the weight of a toddler standing on top of it... all the while singing its merry little heart out!

There were a few down sides to the general operation of good old Mr Colour Maker. At one point, we were merrily tipping the little paint pots into the large paint pot, but we could not get it to light up at all. This "fault" seemed to be happening intermittently, and no matter what way we held the little pots, they just wouldn't activate the lights inside. As the toddler had popped the lid of the paint pot out of its hinges within minutes of use, we didn't realise that it was the lever to choose those different settings, as mentioned before. After a bit of jiggling and poking, the adults in the house finally managed to pinpoint the issue, and reattach the lid.

But the same thing kept happening while we were using the toy. We eventually figured out that when the young'un was tipping up the pot to clear it of its current colour, the string of the paintbrush was knocking the lid closed, therefore resetting the toy to the singing level. This got kind of frustrating after a while.

As the little paint pots are standalone pieces, I can see that these could easily become lost in the mountain of toys in modern kids' houses.

As for the music, my family found this a little bit freaky. The tune it plays is kind of suspenseful, like you'd hear illustrating a haunted house, or something from Jaws. I wasn't sure if that was entirely suited to a young kid.

So, in conclusion to this Mr Colour Maker review, I'd say that the toy is pretty good fun for young toddlers, but I cannot see that it would get an awful lot of repeat use once they have learned how to make the colours. It is bright and good fun, but those little niggly flaws are a downside to Mr Colour Maker.

HA! I love these, they're just far too cute

• Click HERE to muddle on over to Amazon

Tell me this isn't a cute and simple idea for a baby toy that little tiny tots won't absolutely adore! You said it just to 'say' it didn't you...

So the principle is this - the top halves are detachable from the bottom half of each Animuddle and when you put them back together they make a sound that corresponds to the animal that it is.

So match the cow pieces and your little one will be rewarded with a MOOOO; put the sheep halves together and the result is a resounding BAAAAAAA! in return for your efforts. There's a little chick too, 'CHEEP, CHEEP!'

Do you know the thing I like about these Tomy Animuddles the most (apart from the fact they remind of the Weebles I had when I was little)?  If you put the wrong top half with the wrong bottom half they STILL make sounds.

So put the cow with the sheep and you'll get a 'MOOOO-BAAAAAA!' I do like it when kids are allowed to 'think out of the box' and if your tiny tot is anything like  mine all were, they'll get MORE pleasure from mixing and matching!

Amazon have reduced these little guys from £14.99 to £6.49 and delivery is free, as always, with the super Amazon SuperSaver deal.

Here's something for you if the Thomas and Percy Megasketcher didn't appeal...

• Click HERE and doodle away with Amazon

No more being restricted to doodling in black and white for your little one, OH NO! Now they can doodle away to their heart's content in full-blown technicolour, well, full-blown four-colour anyway.

The blurb for this Tomy colour doodle says it's the only magnetic drawing 'thing' that, and I quote, "...allows children to create fun drawings in 4 colours!" Really?  I thought there were a few coloured magnetic drawing toys around, maybe I'm wrong about that (it doesn't happen very often, thank goodness!).

What can I tell you about this?  Well, it does, and comes with, all the things that other magnetic doodling things do - it has a pen, it has shape stampers and you can rub everything, start again and create as many masterpieces as you like....BUT IN FOUR COLOURS *grin*

Reviews are excellent - which is what you'd expect from Tomy - and these things are always guaranteed to be a winner with little ones.

Amazon have reduced it from £14.67 to £10.75 so not a massive saving, but it's a saving all the same.

Put a Thomas the Tank Engine and Percy slant on that old classic the etch-a-sketch and what do you have?  Very happy Thomas and Percy fans that's what and very happy parents as this has been reduced from £24.99 to £9.99.

Your little steam engine fans can draw their favourite engine on this special screen which, apparently, makes for super clear pictures.  There's a no.1 stamper for Thomas and a no.6  for Percy and there are special grooves where you can position their wheels.

Other features, that our original etch-a-sketches didn't have, include a Fat Controller button that you can press to play the Thomas theme tune and make the wheels of the train turn and the track move!

To clear the screen and start again you just need to pull down Harold the Helicopter and create another magnetic art masterpiece - click HERE if you fancy having a go online...my attempt was rubbish!

The Thomas and Percy megasketcher takes 3 AA batteries (did you take out shares in Duracell yet? (other battery makes are available *grin*)) and postage is going to set you back £3.95.

In this instance your feelings of 'I think I've seen this before' would be totally correct because this Thomas 'Rock and Roll' guitar featured here on PlayPennies just a week or so ago.

No, I haven't gone mad and started to randomly re-post my posts - the previous deal on this was with Amazon (it's expired now btw) and Asda have TOTALLY blown that deal out of the water with this one!

FIVE POUNDS AND FIVE PENCE!!!  That's all you're going to pay for this rocking little Thomas guitar if you order online and arrange to collect it in-store (sorry to anyone who took advantage of the Amazon deal...YAY! for anyone who missed it and jumps on board with this one!).

So, the guitar...what can I say about it that I haven't already said....erm.....not much otherwise I would have said it before!  So here's a brief recap:

"...it’s everything you can expect from Tomy – bright, chunky and sturdy so it should withstand even the most outrageous of rock star antics.  It plays six different tunes and has two different play modes; there are, of course, the obligatory flashing lights and there’s even a whammy bar so your little rock god can REALLY be a guitar hero.

Baby monitors were a MUST for me for several reasons.

1) the walls in my house are 2 feet ghick and noise doesn't travel well - so with me in one room and a baby in another a monitor was essential.

2) peace of mind - both during the day and night time (once they were in their own bedrooms).  Having a monitor on during the day meant I could be getting on with other things rather than having to sit in silence waiting for them to wake up; during the night I could sleep without keeping one ear open just so that I wouldn't sleep through them if they woke up!

Here's the spec':

It’s time to get your day started! Get those deliveries around the island of Sodor! Panicking because you don’t have a train? Never fear, Thomas is here and he’s down from £17.99 to £8.99 at Tomy. Awesome.

Thomas is verrry busy on the Island of Sodor. He’s making all of his Really Very Important deliveries and he may need your help to get everything done on time. Well, not you, your kids. If you have a Thomas fan lurking in your house then this will send them over the edge of joy.

The set comes with tracks, Maithwaite Station and if you flick the switch you can drive Thomas around the track. You can even expand the set by adding new Track Master destinations and making your track even bigger.

If we had more space in our house I would so get this set. I love the idea of my daughter having a cute little train set to play with. I remember having hours of fun with these when I was a kid, the adventures we used to have were amazing.
