Summer of collectables with Big Balloon

Just in time for Christmas, Summer of Collectables from BIG Balloons is ready to provide your kids summer-long fun. My girls love the element of surprise – which they certainly get with these. Their faces lit up each time they opened one – I’m not sure which they prefer, the toys or the surprise!

Peppa Pig Peppa’s Secret Surprise, RRP $20.00

Peppa Pig has a surprise for you!

Peppa’s Secret Surprise has lots of secrets tucked inside. Unwrap it to reveal a surprise present box, with six different surprise presents hidden away.

Which special glittery character will you find: Peppa Pig, Suzie Sheep, Rebecca Rabbit or Zoe Zebra? And each one comes with a selection of different accessories including a party hat, stickers or gems, plus a cute party gift in a tiny little box.

My girls have given these tiny treats a big tick of approval. If you’re looking for some extra little surprises for the little members of your family, these are perfect. They’ll get excited just opening the gift, and enjoy the toy even more once they’ve revealed the surprise figure. Get creative with how you’ll display your figures, too. Look for display boxes or shelves so tots can store their toys neatly. They’ll get excited just opening the gift, and enjoy the toy even more once they’ve revealed the surprise figure.Collectables are also a really fun way to teach your kids the importance of taking care of their possessions. In the modern world, lots of toys have a throw-away quality, so by teaching little ones to take care of their collectables and ensure they stay in a good condition can help them grasp the idea of longevity in their gifts.
