The Enchanted Forest and Friends brand has been created by husband and wife team, Bernie and Mariessa Devlin. I love the concept behind the range, which features a series of five forest friends: Zed Fox, Humbellina Bumblebee, Sirrell Squirrel, Bertie Bluetit and Miss Bun Bun.
"In the Forest a magical tree exists, with a secret door which lies slightly ajar showing a golden glowing light shining bright. Enter through this door and it leads to the Enchanted Forest, a magical world full of discovery, exploration and adventure. Beautiful flowers, gigantic trees, colourful mushrooms, sparkling lakes and enchanting sounds can be found."
The Forest Friends characters feature on the clothing, and we received the all over print short sleeve tunic for the littlest to test.
The littlest turns 4 years old this month but she's tall for her age; we had ordered the 4-5 year t-shirt which was the perfect size for her. The T-shirt has washed well and has become a firm favorite in the littlest's wardrobe.
Girls All over Print Short Sleeve Tunic Top, £13.99 (on sale just now at £10.99)
In addition to the T-shirt, we were also sent a Character Backpack... meet Miss Bun Bun:Children's Character Backpack, £22
The concept of this backpack is great... the head can be used as a pillow, within the backpack is a blanket and there are detachable reins (which the littlest at nearly 4 years old does not need, but she liked pretending to be a baby!). My daughter fell in love with Miss Bun Bun immediately and has been wanting to wear her ever since she arrived.

We removed the blanket to put in some toys and special bits & pieces, but I think once it was emptier coupled with the heavy weight of the head meant that the backpack didn't sit very well on my daughter's back. Perhaps we needed to spend more time adjusting the straps, but as we reduced the straps to pull it tighter into her body, the rabbit ended up folding in two a bit.
For me, the backpack perhaps has a few design flaws but the idea is fantastic and my daughter certainly adores it.
Which is your favorite character? I think mine is Zed Fox!
We received two items from Enchanted Forest & Friends to test and review. As always, opinions are honest and are my own.
