Meccano Ferrari Formula 1 vehicle | Review

by Stacey December 18, 2018December 18, 2018

Meccano – such a classic toy, isn’t it? It’s been around for so many years and is constantly evolving. I’ve never had any myself; it’s not really something I’ve ever been into, if I’m honest.

Or end up doing it for them… And then I met Little Brian paint sticks. My. Life. Has. Changed.

“How did we get out of your tummy, Mummy?” This is the question the boys asked last week. I’ve never really thought about what I’d say as an answer to that question as to be honest, I was expecting the “other” one first. So I sort of just went with the flow. As you do when actually giving birth…
