My sister-in-law asked me what my daughter would like for her birthday. She was short of bath toys and was a huge 'In The Night Garden' fan at the time so I suggested a Makka Pakka bath toy which I had seen around in a number of different stores such as Mothercare, Tesco, Boots and Toys R Us. The Makka Pakka bath toy varies in price but is generally between £9.99 - £12.99, and comes packaged in an open fronted carboard box. There are 3 toys included - a Makka Pakka, an uff-uff and trumpet. The Makka Pakka toy looks just like the real character and is about 6 inches high and 3 or 4 inches wide. One of his hands is cupped which allows you ...  Read the complete review

Out of my two children, one has outgrown all things "Night Garden" related (thankfully!) but I still have a one year old to whom the attraction of Oopsy Daisy, Makka Pakka and co are irresistable. As part of my plan to treat the kids when feeling flush, I bought the Makka Pakka bath toy from Amazon for £5.99 for my youngest, so here is the review. What you get is three items - a squeezy set of bellows, a Makka Pakka figure and a megaphone. The bellows are nigh on impossible for a small child to squeeze together with enough conviction to allow them to draw bath water in - definately a job for daddy. The megaphone (my five year old asures me its a ...  Read the complete review

My daughter had a huge in the night garden phase, everything to her was in the night garden, she wanted all of the toys, the books the DVDs and if it wasn't on the telly when she wanted it to be, she wasn't happy. It was coming up to her second Christmas so I was putting a list together of all of things I wanted to get for her. This list contained a lot of in the night garden toys! In general I don't like these toys much; they all seem so badly made and just look rather tacky. Any way that's what she wanted and they kept her happy and entertained. I seen the makka pakka bath toy and immediately decided that I wanted this. She loves bath toys ...  Read the complete review

I wouldn't usually spend over £10 on a bath toy for my granddaughter when really a cup and old shampoo bottle will keep her entertained in the bath for hours. However, when I saw this Makka Pakka Bath Toy on Amazon I decided to treat her as In The Night Garden seems to be making a bit of a comeback after she got bored of it recently. As soon as the parcel arrived I had a niggling feeling it was going to be a disappointment, however I didn't realise this toy was going to be as appallingly bad as it actually is. I had been expecting a soft rubber type toy but Makka Pakka is actually made of a very hard hollow plastic that you fill with water. Then ...  Read the complete review

My first child went through this huge phase of in the night garden and we ended up with a massive collection, downside is he grew out of it and we gifted the items to charity. Now my second child has gone mad on it we are now starting the collection all over again! My son is a total water baby and knew this was a perfect toy for him to play with whilst in the bath, this toy can be purchased from all major retailers and be found on the internet from ebay, amazon and plenty of other online stores. Makka pakka will come boxed with his uff uff and funnel, his funnel can be held in his hand ready for playtime and his uff uff is a sqishy squirter toy ...  Read the complete review
