Singalong Summer with Dora

This Summer Nickelodeon is taking Dora on a tour around the UK to Smyths toy stores on several set dates. Children will be able to meet and sing along with the well known character via special karaoke booths. Special videos from the booths can be created and even entered into a competition to win a chance to star on TV.KIDS.

Check these dates and locations for a store near you.

And if you can't get to a store over Summer and your kids love Dora like mine do then don't worry as Nick Jr channel is showing non stop episodes of Dora and Friends every day between 10-1 Daytime throughout the Summer holidays.

Of course no Dora tour would be complete without some new Dora toys and that is exactly what we received in a large box before the school holidays.

The box of toys included the new Dora dolls, a mobile phone toy and bracelet sets along with a bag of sweets to enjoy.

. I found the toys to all be good quality. Izebella loves the dolls and the phone which can be annoying and Jordanna loves the little bracelet sets. Ryan got some sweets out of it. Dora isn't really his thing.

We are hoping to visit Smyths toy store in Bury and meet Dora for ourselves. More information about the Singalong Dora tour and Dora toys ca be found over at UK TV mums and all the toys shown in my photographs can be purchased at Smyths toy stores.
