Zuru Smashers Dino Eggs With Smyths Toys


[Gifted for review]

I don't know about your kids but our son, JJ, loves pretty much anything dinosaur related! So he was super exited when he first tried the Zuru Smashers range last year.

When we heard about the new dinosaur themed range the excitement reached fever pitch! As our box of gifted Dino Smashers arrived there were squeaks of joy and JJ was excited to get smashing!

We obviously had to start with the big egg!

JJ got stuck in and with over 25 surprises inside we were keen to see the contents of the giant egg! Inside we found a pouch of goodies that was quickly ripped open.

Inside there were a selection of the smaller eggs, along with a smashing tool, an egg holder, Dino Dirt, Fossil Rock, Ice Age Putty, Fizzy Lava and Glowing Slime.

Each of the latter bring a further activity and JJ and Daddy spent a good couple of hours digging and making discoveries! First, they had a dig in the Dino Dirt and found some dino bones!!

Next, they pulled apart Ice Age Putty.

Then, they dug up some fossils from Fossil Rock.

They got slimy with Glowing Slime.

Next, they fizzed up the Fizzy Lava.

Each of the little tasks gave bones or fossils as the result. JJ really enjoyed this and said it was like doing 'lots of science experiments'!!!


Different dino bones laid out

The bones they discovered made this great dino!!

After a lot of playing with the big dino, the giant egg and the little Zuru Dino Smasher characters, it was was time to smash the last of the little eggs.

JJ was really lucky and even got a couple of rare ones, which he was very excited about!

As JJ has only had one or two of the smaller eggs in the past, I wondered how much play he would get out of the big egg and bundle of smaller ones. A week on and he's still playing with the eggs and their contents everyday! He's even asked 'can we do some more experiments like what came in the egg?', and we'll definitely be buying more of the Dino Smashers range. 

For more of the range head over to Smyths Toys here. 

I've also teamed up with Zuru and Smyths to give away a £25 gift voucher to spend in store. You can enter on my Facebook page! Find it here.
