‘Parents who want peace this summer, go get ’em!’ LadBaby Mum raves about £4 buy that kept her kids entertained for ages
IT can feel like a very long – and expensive – six weeks.
But LadBaby Mum, aka Roxanne Hoyle, has shared a brilliant find she said kept her kids entertained for “soooo long”.
And the mum-of-two reckons the £4 purchase is ideal for the summer holidays too.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Rox shared a video of herself and one of her boys playing with the new toy.
“Found these ‘foam glider’ planes for the kids today in The Works,” she wrote.
“Honestly kept them entertained for soooo long.
“Any parents who need some peace this summer holiday, go get ’em!”
Rox picked up one of the gliders in red and one in blue to try and prevent arguments.
The PlayWorks glider also lights up, as Rox demonstrated when she placed the flashing toy next to her son sleeping in bed – showing just how much it had worn him out.
And the positive reviews of the gliders continued on The Works website too.
“Several weeks since I purchased two gliders for my nephews aged 4 and 2,” one happy customer wrote.
“They’re both still intact despite much boisterous launching – often upside down in the case of the 2-year old.
“Great value for money.”
“These are fantastic,” another raved.
“When I go to the park all the kids want to play with it. I originally bought 4 and gave them away to the kids in the park.
“Then I bought another five!
“The flying is magnificent. Definitely recommend for children and adults.
