Hooked on colour
This cute coat rack for a kid’s bedroom catches the eye with its pastel hues. Or turn it into a bathroom towel rack by painting in a range of blue and green Resene testpots.
Top Resene decorating tip: Use the Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer to seal and smooth the surface before painting. This ensures that your colours go on evenly and reduces the need for multiple coats.
Father’s Day tool box
Create a tool box for Dad as a thoughtful gift this Father’s Day. Or, instead of the Father’s Day-themed message, add his name for an anytime gift.
Top Resene decorating tip: Choose Dad’s favourite team colours in Resene tespots for a custom decoration.
Sunrise shelf
Shelving has never looked this good! Display your precious trinkets on these ombre-effect shelves which will add a focus of sophistication.
Top Resene decorating tip: Make sure you have your choice of Resene testpots all ready before you start painting, as you’ll need to do the whole thing in one go to blend the ombre colours while the paint is wet.
Budget bench seat
Turn a simple bookcase on its side and add some woven baskets to transform it into a stylish seat with storage for shoes, etc. Add a coat rack beside the bench for coats and backpacks and you’ve got a handy place to get the kids ready in the morning.
Top Resene decorating tip: The addition of the pine bench, stained with Resene Colorwood wood stain, adds a contemporary touch for a designer-look result.
Turn old into new
Upcycle a tired old set of drawers and give it a new purpose with a bold geometric paint design.
Top Resene decorating tip: Turn your favourite image into a Resene colour palette with the online Resene Palette Generator. This amazing tool allows you to upload an image which will generate a Resene colour palette to match based on the most common colours in your image. It also allows you to download swatches to save or share.
DIY floating shelves
Floating shelves are a stylish and practical storage solution, offering a sleek way to display your favourite décor, plants, or books – all without sacrificing valuable floor space. This design utilises the Resene Wallpaper Collection to add a designer touch.
Top Resene decorating tip: For the topcoat, choose a durable enamel-style paint such as Resene Lustacryl (semi-gloss) or Resene Enamacryl (gloss) – both are hard-wearing and easy to wipe clean, perfect for shelves that will hold decorative items or books.

Myself and my teenage son trialed out the product of Got Rice snacks. We both loved both flavours, couldn’t choose a winner. We loved the tanginess off the bbq and thought the cheese was not too cheesy. The texture we loved so crisp and crunchy. The packaging was super easy to open. We both used these snacks in our lunchboxes and in the car on the way to sports. My son ate a packet everyday at school, till they were all gone. I’ll definitely be buying these again, both flavours. Great price, easy to carry around, awesome flavours, the right size. Usually I’d eat crackers, but having these Got Rice snacks in their own packaging makes it’s easier than putting crackers into a pottle. A winning snack for our family.
As a busy mum of 3 children – two school age and one preschooler it’s always a bonus finding a snack that all kids like and this is one of those snacks! Miss 7 described the BBQ as her favourite using the words “very delicious” and Miss 5 said she couldn’t choose a favourite. As a parent I like the handy sized snack packs making it super easy to add to kids lunchboxes for hand over after school or to tide the toddler over til dinner is ready. The convenience and the fact that the pack comes with 20 portions makes it an overall winner in our home!
As a busy mum of 4 (ages 1,4, 8 and 9) these were a welcome addition to our lunchbox and snack rotation. 3 out of 4 kids enjoyed them and have asked if we can add them to the grocery list, so that itself is a huge win. I love the fact that they are individually wrapped in packets of two as it makes it a quick and easy snack that you know is not full of nasties to chuck in the bag and give them when we are out and about. Overall, we would recommend.
As a busy family of mum and dad with the kids aged 8y, 4.5y, 2y these have been a welcome addition to our family. Its like an upgraded version of baby mummum crackers. These have amazing punch of flavour, either cheese or bbq. Each individual packet has 2 crackers, and there’s 20 in a packet which means they last a the whole week (and haven’t run out after 3 days like most snacks). They were used as lunch box snacks and for the smallest ones while we watched Saturday sports. Quick and easy to grab and go and tide kids over til you got home. When the kids first tried them, they instantly came back and asked for another one! So an absolute winner! We would 100% buy these again, and keep it part of our snacks rotation. We enjoy rice crackers but this is a good substitute.
Our whanau were excited to try Got Rice! snacks and really enjoyed them. My 10 year old son preferred the BBQ flavour but liked the “crispy bite” of both flavours and my 7 year old prefers the Cheese flavour but also likes the “smokey taste” of the BBQ crackers. I enjoyed both flavours and I also really liked that a broken packet was just a cracker in 2 pieces instead of a disintegrated snack! I love how many are in one pack but would prefer them to be in a cardboard box or single bag to reduce the amount of rubbish used. I used these in lunchboxes, a pre dinner snack (when the kids can smell dinner cooking but it’s not ready and they are staaaarving) and had them in our cars snack bag and we only have a few left. I’m not sure what the price point is for these as we haven’t done our fortnightly shop yet but if they are reasonably priced I will be purchasing to have on hand as 2 out of my 3 kids like these a lot.
Thanks for the opportunity to test a lovey new product. We have a 6 and 8 year old in our test set. They were intrigued and little miss 6 did struggle a bit the first time she tried to open the packet (so did hubby though!). Other than a bit of a learning curve to get into the packet (especially if you don’t read according to the 8 year old expert!).
Our family of five (kids aged 7, 9 and 13) all enjoyed both the BBQ & Cheese flavours of these rice snacks – the kids all preferred the BBQ. I loved the thickness of these crackers – being thicker than the average rice cracker they were definitely more satisfying whilst still retaining a good crunch!
Thank you for the chance to review Got Rice! Snacks. We are a family of three, two adults and our daughter 13 years old.
Thank you for choosing my family. These rice crackers arrived quickly after school, so a perfect time to try them. They are crunchy and tasty. Miss 11 didn’t enjoy them, Master 8 loved the Tangy Cheese and I prefered the Smokey Bbq. Individual packets to easily pop into the lunchboxes or take as a snack. My kids love chips and crackers and these Got Rice snacks will now be a regular in our groceries. Definitely recommend for families to try. One packet isn’t enough.
Thank you for choosing us to trial Got Rice snacks. Two adults took part in the review as well as two children- 4 and 6. There was a good amount in each pack- although not a fan of individually wrapped packaging as it’s quite a waste. Texture was good. We are used to eating the Chinese version of these- BBQ flavour great, initially uncertain about the cheese one, was strange tasting at first probably due to being used to having the Chinese version, did learn to enjoy this eventually, a nice mild cheese flavour. These were used as an after school snack when the product were initially received. These next day 6 year old had asked for these to be put in his lunchbox! Both kids enjoyed them, they are a good, easy, tasty snack. Yes I would buy this product for both myself and kids. I would purchase this as an additional purchase to other products. Usually snack preference is crackers/biscuits. Yes I would recommend this product, although the downside would be all the packaging.
My 4.5-year-old really enjoyed the rice crackers — he described them as “crunchy” and was eager to have them right after coming home from daycare. The individual wrapping of each portion is a big plus for us as a busy family, making them convenient for on-the-go snacking and easy to pack in lunchboxes.
Thank you for the opportunity to sample both the Smokey BBQ and Tangy Cheese flavoured Got Rice! Snacks. The individual packages make them great for travelling or a quickly lunchbox snack, however I didn’t love the amount of packaging that is in each pack. It’s not the best for the environment but I understand that it keeps them fresh and crispy.
First of all, how super fast the box of goodies arrived and we were pleasantly surprised at how generously the box was filled to the brim. Everyone in my household loved it, from my 16 month old to their dad. This is certainly going to be a new addition to our household as part of school lunches and afternoon snacks on the go. My kids loved the flavour and texture of the rice crackers and both of them were a hit. Would love to see more flavours on the shelves to add to the rotation. Once again thank you for letting us trial it out.
Thank you for giving us these to trial! They are going down a treat in our household. Quite a tasty wee snack and perfect for lunchboxes. We all enjoy both flavours. Great sized packaging; 20x mini packs inside.
I was pleasantly surprised that these came with so many wee multipacks. A big problem I often have with rice crackers is keeping them all fresh and crispy- this solves that problem as each pack is super fresh when opened. Also so handy to pop into lunchboxes or even throw into a handbag to have a snack on the go! Flavour was nice and light- not too strong so it made me feel like a slightly healthier option than heavily coated crackers or chips. Our 3 year old loved both flavours (although bbq was his favourite!) and kept asking for “just one more”, both my husband and I have also been snacking on them and enjoyed them. I would purchase these again for their convenience and kid approved taste, I do think they’re more tailored towards children but I definitely think adults would dip into the stash too!
For starters what generous packs, so many individuals packets! Kids were immediately ripping them open, Miss 9 -“yummy, so crunchy and delicious, little bit Smokey”, she loved the bbq the most.
My boys loves these (age 3yrs and 5yrs) my mother also loves it too (age 65)
Great product. Kids loved them, i even enjoyed them. Great lunch box snacks.
Our Got Rice! Snacks just arrived and we cracked into them straight away.
Myself and my 5 year old son tried these today. We loved them, he said “these are really yum, I could eat them all day!” We loved both flavours but my son liked the BBQ flavour the most. They were nice and crunchy and a good size for snacking. The packaging is nice and colourful and you get so many in a pack which is great because they will last us a long time. We plan to put them in school lunches and also have them as a snack at home. We plan to buy this again in addition to our normal snack foods e.g. chips, popcorn. Would definitely recommend to others!
My 20 month old daughter and I are huge fans of rice crackers! I loved the light and crispy texture of these crackers, the flavours were spot on, my favourite being the bbq flavour. Tasted great and not overly flavoured like most crackers are. Great snacking portion for toddlers as they never want too much of something! As for me, I was grateful it was individually packed as it is hard to stop at 2! Would recommend these for taste and convenience!
My kids – 9, 11 and I (39y old mum) tried these snacks.
Got Rice! Snacks Review – Parent & 3-Year-Old Perspective
The family enjoyed this crackers. It’s like an upgraded version of baby mum mum which my daughter (8) has enjoyed when she was little. Perfect for the lunchbox – packaging kept the cracker crispy. My husband and I also enjoyed this as a bedtime snack. Both flavours are wonderful but we prefer the cheese flavour the most. It has the right balance of sweetness and tangy. Can easily finish 3 packs in one sitting! Yum! It has a good price point too for $3. Will definitely buy this in our next trip to the grocery. Noticed it’s only available at Woolworths though so it would be good if can be bought at Pak n Save too.
Thank you for the chance to review these Rice snacks, they arrived pretty quickly and the kids were straight into them.
These have been amazing. With a gluten free child snacks can be boring so he loves these in his lunch box and even as half time soccer snacks. Currently with a cold he says these are so yummy as he can still taste them. We have trialled the grape sticks and the raspberry and blueberry nuggets which were equally as yum. Haven’t seen the grape flavour at our local but will definitely be looking out for it.
We received the the fruity ropes strawberry and blueberry and the fruity nuggets raspberry and blueberry.
I recently tried the GoodnessMe Really Fruity range, and I have to say—these are an absolute hit for both kids and adults looking for a healthier snack alternative. My kids aged 5 and 6 have requested I keep getting them for their lunchboxes!
Both of my kids (ages 7 and 11) tried this product and really enjoyed the flavour across the range. Mr 11 especially loved both the taste and the texture, while Mr 7 enjoyed the flavour but wasn’t as keen on the texture.
My daughter 8 and my son 13 tried these products and absolutely loved them. We received the raspberry and blueberry really fruity sticks and also the really fruity nuggets strawberry. The favorite was the really fruity sticks. I pop them in my kids lunchboxes and they also enjoy them as an after school treat. My son is not a big fan of other brands of “gummies” but loved these as it has more of a fruity taste. Would definitely continue buying this and would also 100% recommend to other families.
We received the strawberry and blueberry and the raspberry and blueberry Mr 11 and Miss 14 and Miss 16 liked both flavors .They didn’t think one was better than the other. I liked how they are made of 100% natural colors in flavors .It’s great how they are individually wrapped So are great for a quick snack or the lunch box I definitely recommend them . I think we’ll buy them again for the kids lunch box
We received the grape sticks and blueberry/strawberry ropes both my kids age 8 & 5 love them both . They are nice and soft not too chewy and taste great they even let me have a taste very delicious. They have been a great after school snack and will pop them in their lunch boxes as they are a great size and easy for the kids to open. Will definately buy again they have been a great hit. Thank you
We got the passion fruit and pineapple and the grape sticks to try.
Thank you for choosing us to trial these yummy snacks. We received Strawberry and Blueberry Straws and Sticks. My boys, 13 and 9 years old, both loved it so much and they want it daily in their lunch boxes now. I liked the way it had clear vegan label and it made so easy for me to know that I dont have to worry about looking at the ingredients that I usually do with other snack packaging as we prefer vegan snacks for the kids for the healtheir option over others. Kids loved the taste and serving quantity is just right for the single time consumption. Yes, we are going to buy this again and try other flavors.
We have been lucky enough to try these GoodnessMe Fruit Snacks, we got the Pineapple and Passionfruit sticks and the Raspberry and Blueberry fruit sticks. They are yum. This comes from a 12yr old girl and her Mum, yes I tried them too. They are very sweet and that led me to take another look at the ingredients, i had mainly looked pretrial at allergens, and I noticed there’s added sugar, which might explain the stickiness. Not that miss 12 complained, and the paper-based wrapper with its’ nonstick inside made for pleasant handling. Really love the reduced plastic packaging.
We were lucky enough to try out the GoodnessMe Grape Sticks as well as the GoodnessMe Strawberry & Blueberry Ropes. The kids were excited to try them both out as our local doesn’t stock these two varieties.
Thanks for the trial of these yummy treats ☺️. They were tried by our 12 year old daughter and Mum & Dad also got to eat some! We had the Really Fruity Sticks Grape and the Really Fruity Ropes Strawberry & Blueberry. Love the new environmentally friendlier packaging, easier to get into than the old ones. The grape sticks were a bit sticky and could be a bit messy but we all liked the taste of them, thought they were flavoursome and a good snack size, so a yes from all us on those.
Mixed response from my testers. Strawberry nuggets and grape sticks.
Our whanau received a box of Pineapple and Passionfruit really fruity sticks as well as a box of Raspberry and Blueberry really fruity Nuggets and they are both a huge success in our whare!
We regularly purchase GoodnessMe fruit products so were all excited to try the Strawberry and Blueberry Ropes & Pineapple and Passionfruit Sticks, neither of which we’ve seen in our local supermarket.
We received the Grape and Raspberry/Blueberry Goodness Me fruit snacks, and my two kids aged 10 and 8 absolutely loved them. The taste was a big hit – fruity and not overly sweet – and the texture was soft and chewy, much nicer than some of the tougher fruit snacks we’ve tried before. They’re super convenient for on-the-go – we’ve used them in lunchboxes and as a quick energy boost after sports. Compared to similar products, these feel more natural and better quality. I’ll definitely keep buying them, and I’ve already recommended them to a few other parents. A new favourite in our house!
We received the pineapple and passionfruit sticks and the mixed nuggets and sticks packs to try.
My family (2 adults and 2 kids aged 6 and 9) were lucky enough to try the Pineapple & Passionfruit Sticks plus the Grape Sticks. The 2 adults and 9 year ofd preferred the Pineapple & Passionfruit flavour as it wasn’t quite as sweet, the 6 year old preferred the Grape flavour – but she tried the Pineapple/Passionfruit one first and declared it 11 out of 10 so obviously still very highly rated!
We received Grape sticks + Raspberry & Blueberry Sticks
I have received the Raspberry & Blueberry Fruity Sticks and Nuggets. My 14 year old was very excited to open up the boxes and immediately realised that the packaging is very environment friendly. The next day she has taken to school in her lunchbox and she loves it, finding it not too sweet and not too sour, especially the coating on the nuggets. While my 19 year old finds it a bit sweet, but she likes it as this fruity sticks/nuggets can last her much longer to consume comparing to other snacks when she has it in between her university lectures. Apart from that, both my husband and I have also tried it when we went on a hiking trip. They are a bit sweet for us too but it’s a super quick and good source of energy booster! I like the packaging which can easily open and pop into your mouth without touching the sticks or nuggets.
We received the Strawberry and Blueberry Rope along with the Pineapple and Passionfruit Sticks. Our kids (11 and 9) loved them! They are a nice sweet treat with the goodness of real fruit. We particularly loves the packaging (no plastic) and the fact that they are Gluten and Dairy free (which is a must in an allergy-friendly house like ours). We will definitely be purchasing these in the future as a better alternative to some of the other brands of frui bars around.
We received strawberry and blueberry sticks plus nugget pack.
I’m so excited to receive GoodnessMe Really fruity. We got strawberry & blueberry ropes and Pineapple & Passionfruit sticks. All my kids age 13,12 and 10 years loved them, including myself 🙂 I love it’s individually packed with paper-based packaging. It’s perfect for lunch box and snacks on the go. Also it’s best option for sweet treat rather than candy. It has nice texture and not too sweet.
My son’s 9&5 were very excited to try this product, especially for the strawberry and blueberry ropes! They were the favorite for both kids, but they also loved the sticks. As a mum I tried the sticks to give them a go and they are quite nice! The texture isn’t too sticky compared to similar products we have used. They also aren’t too sweet and super easy for them to open themselves out of their lunchboxes.
We received the Grape Sticks and Strawberry Nuggets. The nuggets were a huge hit for everyone in the family (adults included, kids are 2 and 5). I was expecting it to taste quite light but each nugget had so much flavour, it was very enjoyable and it’s like candy for the kids. My 5 year old also loved the grape sticks but she isn’t a fan of getting her hands sticky so she ate it with a fork. The grape sticks personally I found too thick for my liking.
Received in quick time yesterday after school the Fruity Sticks in Raspberry & Blueberry and Strawberry & Blueberry too.
My daughter (8) tried the Really Fruity Nuggets – Strawberry and Really Fruity Sticks – Grape. She enjoyed both flavours but loved the sticks the most. She said it was sweet, grape-y and so yummy! It was definitely one of the best gummy she has tried. Strawberry nuggets were fruity and yummy too but a bit tricky to eat – the size of the nuggets were too small and some fell.
This is already a brand and product we purchase often however these were new flavours we hadnt yet tried. We tried the Grape Sticks and they were delicious, we also tried the Strawberry & Blueberry Rope – we have had the nuggests before that are similar but this was in a long string – I thought this was awesome so did the kids.

We were lucky enough to trial the new Red Seal Toothpastes this week. I trialled them alongside my three and five year old daughters.
My family were lucky enough to be selected for the Red Seal review. We are all big on oral hygiene in our family, so we’re all very keen to be part of this! My husband, myself and our two sons trialed the toothpaste. My husband, myself and our 15 year old son loved the taste of the adult formula. Our 12 year old son felt it was a bit too minty for him, so he’s been using the kids formula. We are all very impressed! I was happy to find a Red Seal toothpaste that contained fluoride. In the past I’ve stopped using Red Seal because it didn’t. It’s on the “ok” list at the kids dental clinic, and our dentist approves! Therefore; we will continue to use it. Thank you Red Seal and Kidspot!
The whole family tired these products last night and overall feedback was great. The mint is a bit hot at first but then cools down. Our teeth felt clean and the kids loved the berry flavour. I was super impressed that both products have fluoride as this is important to me in a toothpaste. Thanks for letting us try these and we would buy these in our shopping
We always want to try new toothpaste as it’s boring to use the same brand/flavour of toothpaste every day. My son and I tried the two products respectively. When I saw “Mild mint” and “Berry bubblicious” on the tubes, I thought I knew what the flavors would be like. After I tried the adult one, I felt the mint flavor was not as strong as I expected, which was good! It also surprised me when I saw the toothpaste was transparent! It feels very natural and I noticed it stopped my teeth bleeding! My son says his kid’s one tastes like strawberry ice cream!
I wanted to try and review these toothpastes as looking for more natural products for my family
Have been using these product for the past 4 days now,
I was wanting to try these toothpastes for my family because we’re always looking for different ones. Finding the right strength for different kids etc.
.
Seriously, what is this sourcery? A product that makes my two small humans, aged 7 and 9, actually beg to brush their teeth?! I didn’t think this product existed, but Red Seal has proved me wrong! While I couldn’t convince them on the mint one (even though that’s a firm favourite of mine, now!) they are 100% obsessed with the shiny, glittery, tastiness that is the Berricilious Kids Toothpaste! The flavour is absolutely divine but has no added sugar, and it just looks so pretty! The packaging is great, I just can’t think of anything to fault on this. My kids really are excited about their teeth brushing at the start and end of the day now, thanks so much for this magic!
My family love a toothpaste that thoroughly clean teeth and provide protection to tooth decay. My 2 years old and 4 years old tried the Red Seal Kids fluoride Berry Bubblicious toothpaste while my husband and I tried the Red Seal Complete Care fluoride Mild Mint toothpaste. Both toothpastes instantly wins the heart of our family. Everyone had fresh breath afterwards and we do feel our teeth is cleaner for a longer period of time. The texture of the toothpaste is smooth and it looks like it has some glitter in it, which attracts my kids. The kids toothpaste are not overpowering and they loved the flavour compared to Colgate Bluey kids mint gel toothpaste. The Red Seal Complete Care fluoride Mild Mint toothpaste has a lovely minty taste, unlike other overly pepperminty flavoured toothpaste like Colgate Triple Action toothpaste. Both toothpaste does not create much foam, so it does not leave much mess especially for the kids. I would highly recommend this two toothpastes!
Our whole family (2 adults, 10 year old and 3 year old) tried the Red Seal toothpaste. First the tube packaging feels like paper texture, so that was pretty different and cool. Sad thing is nothing is recyclable except that box it comes in, a bit disappointed.
My two boys loved both the read seal toothpaste, they felt the complete care mild mint left their teeth feeling cleaner, and they didn’t mind the mint flavour, it’s not too strong. We Would buy this product.
My family trialled the Red Seal toothpaste gel. My 8 year old loved the flavour Berry Bubblicious. He also tried the mint one but did not like it although he is not usually a fan of a mint flavour. My 11 year old tried the Berry Bubblicious flavour as well but disliked it immediately. She bases a lot of her likes due to texture and she did not like the texture of this toothpaste. Not even the sparkles could persuade her this time. My husband and I have been using the mint flavour. I initially found it getting used to. I found the texture a bit different to what I’m used to but got used to it over time. I’m also getting use to the mildness as I’m use to a very strong mint flavour with my other brands. I feel like it almost needs a stronger mint flavour to give my mouth that fresh feeling. I love the matte packaging and also feel good using a natural product. I have always wanted to try a natural toothpaste but was apprehensive at buying something that my family wouldn’t like so I’m grateful for the opportunity to test it. Overall I am surprised that this natural toothpaste with flouride was actually ok and if it was on special I might buy it again.
We were excited to try these toothpastes but unfortunately the kids’ one is not a hit- too strong in flavour apparently. The adult toothpaste has an unusual flavour compared to what we are used to normally, but I enjoyed it, the only issue I had was not feeling “mouth fresh” afterwards.
I would like to review red seal tooth paste. I wanted to try as more of a natural toothpaste. I have used red seal tooth paste in the past.
Had wanted to try this product for my 2 kids with both of them trying to miss out on bedtime brushing routine by being lazy at night times particularly the little one. I had expected both of them to be fans of berry bubblicious but surprisingly my older one seems to enjoy the mint one while the little one loves the berry one as thats her type. Hopefully they can keep up with the night. I tried the mint one and have been using it since 2 days and night and I find it very refreshing and not too strong like some of the other mint ones that make your mouth burn which is really good. Found it very pleasant to have tried something to colgate and oral b which we have been using for a number of years so would switch it up in the future as well as this is such a great alternative. Thank you kidspot for the oppurtunity to try it otherwise would have never found out about it
My family tried 2 Red Seal toothpaste products over the past week. We wanted to try something different as we use the same brands and never think to sample new brands or flavours. Hubby and I enjoyed using the Complete Care toothpaste, we were surprised as thought the herbs would be overpowering but the mint still came through but it was very mild so needed quite a large amount of product to feel clean. The texture was a more gel like and less foamy than we are used to but not unpleasant, would try it again.
We were lucky to review Red Seal Complete Care Mild Mint toothpaste and Red Seal Kids Berry Bubblicious toothpaste.
We were lucky enough to trial these red seal toothpaste.
My 10 year old daughter was very excited when this toothpaste arrived and wanted to try the berry one straight away. She was surprised it was clear but she liked the taste but said the texture was strange. She then got her 13 year old brother to try it and he wasn’t a big fan of the taste. So she is the sole user of the kids toothpaste but loved the change from the normal mint flavoured one we get.
My kids were so excited to receive this product for review – it’s so nice to have something that seems like a treat but is good for their teeth! My younger 2 kids were split on the verdict of the Berry Bubbalicious toothpaste- the 4 year old loved it and my 6 year old didn’t like it all. My 4 year old love the colour and taste and packaging and I’m very satisfied with the ingredients! My 9 year old loved the complete care product. I’m so happy that red seal are including fluoride in their toothpastes now so I would happily purchase this now knowing that it’s enjoyed by some of my children!
We were lucky enough to be able to review the new Red Seal Digest Kids Melties which was perfect timing after a round of antibiotics for one of my daughters. We trialled the green apple flavoured melty for my two eldest daughters who were very excited as they look forward to their daily multivitamin gummies they have each night.
I was super pumped about giving the Kids Melties Defence a whirl, as it feels like my kids have barely been at school this year, it’s just been bug after bug after bug in our household!
Red Seal Melties Multi with Iron
Thank you for choosing us to review Melties. We tried the Sleep with Magnesium Melties and so far I’m really impressed all round. They are a lovely strawberry flavour that really does fizz and melt in your mouth which means it’s a very easy way to get magnesium into the kids. Of course, as mum, I had to try one myself (for quality control purposes of course) and OMG, I love them too. I have real trouble taking the larger magnesium tablets for adults and wondered I could get enough magnesium taking these too 😉
My son (7) has been taking the Kids Melties Multi. He regularly takes multivitamins, to fill any gaps in his diet, so I thought it would be good to try a new one. I like the fact that these are chewable, and the dise is one a day. He likes the ‘lot of blackberry’ taste. He said they feel foamy on his tongue, which he thinks is fun. It’s probably too early to judge their impact in terms of energy etc/how they compare with other multivitamins. Whether we continue with them will partly depend on the cost. He is happy to continue taking them.
Kids Melties Multi with Iron
Miss 6 absolutely loved the Defence Melties! She said they were yummy like an orange and they fizzed on her tongue which made her laugh. She happily asks me for one every morning since it tastes like a lolly, so Mum is very pleased that she is willingly getting some extra Vitamin C and Zinc in her diet. We usually buy gummy vitamins so a melting tablet is a fun change for her, I wanted her to try out something new and was lucky enough to be selected. The packaging is cute and bright orange so stands out, I feel 60 is a convenient pack size. I would highly recommend the Defence Melties to other parents and we will definitely try the other types / flavours, we will be using all 60 and hope this extra dose of vitamins will boost her immunity from the bugs lurking around school.
We were lucky enough to get the defence orange flavoured melties to try. My 3 oldest children aged 9, 7 and 4 loved the flavour and the fact that they melted on their tongues (to them it was such a novelty). I liked the fact that it was immune support that they loved the flavour of, and that it was packed full of goodness and very minimal sugar. So for our house it was a win/win and we would definitely buy them again.
These were a big hit for my 4 and 6 year old who preferred them to generic vitamin c. My bigger kids preferred the normal vitamin c tablets.
Red Seal Kids Melties – Multi
We were lucky to be selected to review the Kids Melties – Sleep with Magnesium by Red Seal.
Wow! How easy are these to get the kids to try! Very fun container. Captured my kiddies attention for sure. They thought the fizzy was a little weird at first and then grew to like it.
