I really enjoyed this video. It's so helpful to see toys in action and get another parent's view on whether games are worth buying. Would love to see more of these videos. Thanks Emily.
I love pass the pigs! It is probably a good thing that it feels like gambling because you can start a discussion and teach them the importance of risk/ safety.
Emily! I was literally just wondering what toys to get my 8 MO! This video popped up like a god sent! Saved me hours of research. I love you, Emily. You are one of the only youtubers i blindly trust. I already ordered 4 of these. I'm sure i'll love them. Lots of love to you and your lovely family.
Games are our thing in this family! Dobble is our personal fav. I play it with my 9 year old son every weekend in the café! I have tried all of your products in the past except for the piggy one (I agree u could loose them) and the crazy chef. The butterfly house we still have and I re use it every spring! It hold wonderful memories of my sons watching the butterflies grow when they were little! Great video emily
Great video. I got a slow cooker and just started using it this week in the hope I could fit in more quality time with my two instead of spending the evening after work cooking. So these have given me some inspiration and we will definitely be looking at a few. I would love a solely orchard toys video. They are all great and most highly rated that I never know what to get, particularly for different ages.
My 20 month old has the Lego Duplo train and it’s by far one of his fave toys to play with- keeps him busy for ages! Monopoly is super nostalgic for me- lives playing as a kid 💛
This was such a good review, Emily! We are a homeschooling fam of 6 so we own most of these toys! We hatch butterflies each season, play Jurassic Uno and chess, and of course Lego and Duplo! Would love to try Bananagrams! Looks so much fun!
This was awesome! Please do another video like this! I actually ordered the Tomy eggs for Easter for my soon to be 1 year old daughter based on previous videos of yours when you talked about them
Loved this video, Emily! Such a great idea. I have a nearly 2 year-old and an 8 year-old, so lots of your ideas work for me. I’ll definitely be ordering a few games that I think will be fun for evenings at CenterParcs and may, hopefully, encourage my 8 year-old to get off his XBox for a while (incidentally, I’d love any ideas for this - I feel like it’s all he wants to do if he’s not watching/playing football! 🤷🏻♀️). The butterfly kit sounds fantastic! And I agree - there’s something about those Tomy Eggs! 👌🏻🤔 Would really like more videos like this, please! x
I would definitely agree with the eggs, and Duplo Train! My babe loves them. I love Bananagrams! Such a good one for older kids and adults. I want to try the pop up pirate game and the dobble game now!
Pop up pirate, uno, duplo, orchard and Monopoly are all hits in our house from our 2y old twins to our 9y. I will be looking into the Doggel game and banana scramble too. Thanks for sharing hun I'm always on the look out for new games. Hannah x
Oh my god those little eggs are a hit! I remember my little brother had them back in the 90's and loved them so much that I made sure I got them for my son. He plays with them everyday!
Omg i love this kind of toys videos of yours. 😍😍 thanks:) i always give it a try and my kids love it. Even i am always looking for toys around you in all your videos 🤣😅😍😚
Really appreciate these kind of videos. I'm always checking reviews. I've just recently purchased a 'scruff a luv' then read the reviews after wards 🙄 and they were awful safe to say it's going back !
Awesome video, Emily! Love your honest opinion on these games! It would be so great if you could do a video on good games to travel with. I know you mentioned a few in this video, but do you have others you love to take with on your trips? ♥️
I loved this video and ordered 3 toys from the list. Please order and test 10 more, Emily! Also, if you can include toys in the video that are more geared towards toddlers, it would be great! Xx
Watching with my daughter who said "wow Emily Norris doesn't know what shes missing out on!" When you said you'd not played dobble or pop up pirate 🤣🤣 Hope you enjoy them!
Is it just me or whenever Emily posts a new video you just get so excited and rush to the video.Ive been watching her for ages but still get the jitters once i tune into the video.Love you and your family your my idol.💙💚💛💜💙💗💛💜
Very much liked this video! Great for gift ideas and travel ideas. I’d heard of dibble before... Paddy McGuiness was playing it with some of his mates on insta stories the other day 😂😂😂
I work in a kindergarten and have been transitioning from using clip/zip lock bags to fabric pencil cases for storing toys with small pieces. Pencil cases come in lots of different patterns, are inexpensive online and are more durable 😊
Hi Emily, thanks so much for these reviews. I don't have little kid now but I am working as a volunteer in a minors shelter with social problems, I look forward to getting these games for them to play!. thank you thank you thank you.
Love the suggestions! Could never do the butterfly thing though because I have cats and I think they'd demolish the mesh housing trying to get at them 😂
I'm loving the Easter egg nails!! 😍 We have several of these games and my kids love them. (Quick note: Dobble is called Spot It! in the USA; lots of fun variations and ways to play!) My big kids like Pass the Pig. I agree, it is like gambling being about risk+luck. But personally I've never minded my kids learning the cost of risk taking in ways that can't hurt them. I'd rather they learn about losing while they are little and the stakes are little, too. Great list! And I was just looking at that Duplo train for a friend's 1 year old. So crazy!
I love the butterfly one! We are currently watching our tadpoles grow from frogspawn into frogs in our little tank so I know my kids would love the butterfly one too! Xx
Emily Norris I’m not sure if you can buy a kit for it but we just collected some frog spawn from my mums pond and put it in a tank! The kids are really enjoying watching the tadpoles grow into frogs, would definitely recommend it! X x
Yey Emily!! I love this... I got that butterfly kit from my local garden center - we haven't ordered the caterpillars yet though!! 🌺🙋♀️ I love your videos Emily, I really hope people leave my videos feeling as uplifted as I leave yours! 🙏 Have an amazing week ahead lovely lady💜🌼
PASS the PIG!! I’ve not played this since primary school and I loved this game. Loved this video I’ve been thinking about getting some more games for a while (for date nights 😂) and these are brilliant. Thanks Emily, enjoy your exciting adventure in LA xx
My husband and I bought pop up pirate when eldest was around 4 (he's 8 now) but all the bits are missing now. I still find some of the swords around the house 😟🤦🏽♀️
Hi Emily I can't find your vlog with the box of snacks you order online that are gf. Please can you tell me what their called so I can order a box? 😘😘💕

Great review, thank you! The best part about being a parent is getting to play with toys again!

As expected Mommy Queen Emily comes and saves my day with amazing Amazon recommendations! LOVE YOU!

Playing UNO after dinner time, even while we make dinner, has been our routine now as well!
Those TOMY eggs are one of my 2 year olds favorite toys! I can't wait to try some of these others.
Great video. Thanks! Gives ideas to birthday and xmas pressies for kids. Would love to see another video like that. 😊
Hi Emily, after watching your video I ordered 5 out of the 10 toys from Amazon. Thanku due to your wonderful reviews 😘
This is so useful for the future me thank you!!
My 20 month old has the Lego Duplo train and it’s by far one of his fave toys to play with- keeps him busy for ages! Monopoly is super nostalgic for me- lives playing as a kid 💛

Good fun!! I'm going to order the eggs for my 1 year old twins for part of their Easter gift 😊
This was awesome! Please do another video like this! I actually ordered the Tomy eggs for Easter for my soon to be 1 year old daughter based on previous videos of yours when you talked about them
I completely forgot about Pop up Pirate and Pass the Pig! Loved them when I was a kid
I love your toy reviews and learn so much from them!
I actually ordered the Tomy eggs today before watching this because I know you've mentioned it multiple times! 😍😍
I would love more videos like this :) all of your toy videos are so good!
Aww I grew up playing pass the pigs, fab game, love that scrabble game too, great video x
Loved this video, Emily! Such a great idea. I have a nearly 2 year-old and an 8 year-old, so lots of your ideas work for me.

Would really like more videos like this, please! x
Thanks Emily. Lots of cheap ideas for bday presents x
I already have the transept for my two little boys and they love it
I would definitely agree with the eggs, and Duplo Train! My babe loves them. I love Bananagrams! Such a good one for older kids and adults. I want to try the pop up pirate game and the dobble game now!
I love these videos, they really help me with gift ideas xx
In the US, Dobble is called "Spot it". It's GREAT! They also offer movie or character themed Spot it games too!
My brother and I played pass the pigs growing up and loved it!
Great video. Will definitely use for my 5 year old and also for gifts. 😊
I had those eggs as a child! They've been a popular fave for over 20 years then it seems x
Great video! I want the butterfly kit just for me!!! Lovely thing to do and help children to appreciate nature.
Pop up pirate, uno, duplo, orchard and Monopoly are all hits in our house from our 2y old twins to our 9y. I will be looking into the Doggel game and banana scramble too. Thanks for sharing hun I'm always on the look out for new games. Hannah x
Oh my god those little eggs are a hit! I remember my little brother had them back in the 90's and loved them so much that I made sure I got them for my son. He plays with them everyday!

Such a great idea for a video! Loved it! We have a few of these but I might actually get dobble and bananagrams too!

Dezzbare 2008 that is me. I love this lady and her family very much. I just watch with a smile on my face. The boys are the cutest
That butterfly garden looks so cool!
My 22 month old loves the eggs! She has an egg allergy and we bring them with us to her food challenges and appointments with the allergist 😂
Oh yes looking forward to watching this 😍💖 xxx
Great! Thanks for your honest reviews will look into it for my Kids too... 😊
Bananagrams is the best! We used to take it skiing every year and play as a group in our chalet every night x
Very much liked this video! Great for gift ideas and travel ideas. I’d heard of dibble before... Paddy McGuiness was playing it with some of his mates on insta stories the other day 😂😂😂
This was super interesting and informative!! Watching this makes me want to have a game night😍
Loved this! And I appreciate you mentioning the part about gambling!
Thank you for that! I never knew which toy or game to choose for my son being affraid that he is just not gonna like it xx
I had pop up pirate as a kid; so much fun!! The eggs are a winner in this house (only negative is that the egg box is difficult to open)
Any tips on how to not lose all the bits to these toys? 😬🙈 x
I work in a kindergarten and have been transitioning from using clip/zip lock bags to fabric pencil cases for storing toys with small pieces. Pencil cases come in lots of different patterns, are inexpensive online and are more durable 😊
Yea
