Whilst Roo is at the top end of Blossom Magazines target age group I wondered whether she would enjoy it as much as she would have done being a year or two younger. Flicking through the magazine before handed it over to Roo my concerns were soon dashed as it was filled with a variety of different activities and stories that I knew would capture Roo’s imagination.

The February magazine comes complete with a paint your own Fairy Princess, which includes a plastic princess, paints, gems and even some fairy dust (I want the fairy dust!)

Handed the magazine over to Roo she immediately asked if she could complete the painting activity, but as we had just walked through the door after the school run I managed to persuade her that maybe we could do that over the weekend. Watching her jump on the sofa turning each page with excitement and eagerness to see what else was included within the magazine.
