Badge It Review

Badge It! returns by popular demand after calls from the craft loving public to reintroduce this much loved toy. Released in the UK in 2003, over 1/2 million makers were sold in the first year and Badge It! picked up the ‘Creative Toy of the Year’ award.

Now with craft making experiencing a surge in popularity Badge It! returns. The Badge It! maker has got quick, simple, no-mess badge making all buttoned up!  Make unique, high quality metal badges in seconds of your favourite pop star, footballer or pet.

The award winning design makes creativity simple as there’s no glue and no mess. You can use photos, pictures from magazines or your own drawings to make the badges you want.

So get creative, and wear your badge with pride!

My 8 year old niece was so excited when I gave this to her and wanted to make badges straight away. It is easy to do when you read the instructions. However the instructions are in very very small print !

The set came with some ready printed circular pictures for making badges which were in fun and funky designs.  Alternatively, there was a template that could be used to cut pictures from magazines.  I know my niece is going to enjoy enjoyed being able to use pictures she had found herself to make really unique pin badges!

The set only comes 15 pin badges so thankfully refill sets are available to buy separately. This would make the perfect party activity as It is  really fun, quick, not messy and easy to operate.

Badge It ideal birthday gift!

And the other thing I would like to see is this made in a more neutral colour for boys seeing as it  does have some very trndy kids on the box one of which is a young boy/teen!

(Disclosure I was sent this Badge It for review and all my opinions are my own )

Fifteen Cornwall

Fifteen Cornwall

Fifteen Cornwall is part of a global social enterprise, founded by Jamie Oliver with a clear mission – empower those who deserve a second chance in life. It aims to inspire people through food, whether it’s the apprentice chefs in our kitchen or the diners in their restaurants.

Every year  group of 16 – 24 year olds from Cornwall.  It is Fifteen  belief that no matter where someone may be at in life, with the right guidance, they can build a compelling and successful future.


The apprentice chefs how to slice, dice, sear, braise and blend beautiful Cornish ingredients into outstanding plates of food, all against a backdrop of two miles of stunning Cornish beach.


And it is indeed a stunning location prefect for dining anytime, but my favourite time of day to dine there has to be when there is a sunset. Purely breathtaking as the sun melts in the sea though a camera will capture the image, the beauty if the sunset is so strong the memory is forever imprinted on your memory.
