WotWots Mania
Tuesday 29 September, Little Miss and I (and two of our best mates) had the immense pleasure of attending a special launch event for the WotWots at London Zoo. What is a WotWot? Many people are asking this! If you have a child under the age of three and follow Channel 5′s Milkshake in the mornings, you will know the answer. For those of you who don’t, visit this site for more audiovisual information: Channel 5 or WotWots Official Site. We had a gorgeous day with lots of sun and a lovely visit around the zoo thanks to The Great Toy Guide who we were representing. Little Miss adores the WotWots and she got to get a taste of what they’re like up close and personal…
On top of meeting the WotWots, Little Miss got to meet the co-creator, Martin Bayton, and the Channel 5′s Milkshake presenters!
The event was a brilliant one, open initially to competition winners and journalists (I’d like to think I was a journalist!) and later to the public. We were welcomed by event staff and co-creator, Martin Baynton himself! After a quick nappy change for Little Miss in a makeshift baby-changing room, we entered the room. There were bean bags all over the floor near the giant video screen and lots of kid-sized tables around the room with colouring pages, Playdoh and other crafty activities to keep the kids occupied. There was also a face-painter who was painting absolutely gorgeous things on kids faces. If I thought Little Miss would sit still long enough, I would have let her get her face painted. Little Miss and her best mate enjoyed the bean bags while the others got their faces painted! The event itself got underway with a VERY ENERGETIC intro and song from the Milkshake presenters (God, if I had 1/8 of their energy I could get so much more accomplished in a day) and then co-creator Martin Baynton came out to talk about the WotWots.
We also had the immense pleasure of meeting the series narrator, Nicholas Parsons which was quite an honour. The WotWot’s even made an appearance and amazingly enough, Little Miss readily went to them and gave them some kisses. This is quite impressive and says a lot for the pull of the WotWots as she won’t always go to people unless she knows them well and is REALLY SURE about them. After the presenter festivities, we were treated to a new WotWots episode and then were sent out to forage throughout the zoo on a treasure hunt. The goal was to visit 7 sites around the zoo to figure out a secret word (WotWots was the word…that wasn’t hard to figure out) and accumulate WotWots figurine parts to create our own WotWot. This was good fun for the adults while the kids had fun seeing all the animals. Once we completed the scavenger hunt, we finished back at the main stage room, received our little press packs (full of delightful bits and bobs) and were free to enjoy the zoo for the remainder of the day. The big highlight after the WotWots was feeding time at the penguin exhibit. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the day and the Mummies had quite the laugh as well. A great time was had by all with the WotWots and the London Zoo. Do go to the zoo someday soon, if you can, and check out Channel 5′s The Wot Wots next time you’re up at ridiculous o’clock with your toddler. You’ll get a good laugh and your child will love it as well.
