Mike the Knight is a popular programme on the Cbeebies channel. James is a huge fan of the show and loves to pretend that he is a Knight just like Mike, so when we were recently sent the Mike's Mission Set to review he was very happy to get to try it out.
In the box you will find your helmet and sword. The helmet it made from good quality plastic. It is tough and will easily last many a tumble or rough play session. It also has a movable visor and a chin strap so that it stays firmly on your child's head. You have to attach the red feather to the top of the helmet but took no longer than 10 seconds to attach. The sword is made from foam but it is quite tough. James proved this by popping his birthday balloon with it when he decided that he could "bash" it. Needless to say we had a few tears for a little while after. Although tough enough to burst a helium filled balloon the sword isn't wont cause any harm if you happen to be caught by it or hit with it as Callum found out more than once.
You can buy this set from Character Online priced at £14.99. It is suitable for children aged 3+. All 3 boys loved playing with this set but James has claimed it as his own and wont let his brothers play with it. I think this is mainly due to it being his birthday week and getting lots of presents he has assumed this is his too. But it is clear to see that he loves his helmet and sword set and he has said he is a Knight just like Mike.
