The Retro Mini by VQ is known as one of the best selling digital radio's with over 11 colours and over 10 grown up designs to choose from. But now they have created 2 more prints which are by Emma Bridgewater to add to the collection. These new prints are made specially for the children so then everyone can own their own little radio.
If your child is anything like my Lily, then they will love music and love to dance. Although your 3 year old may not yet know how to work the radio, it makes such a nice gift for them to be able to have their own radio in their bedroom so they can listen to music.
We were sent one of the new prints called Dancing Mice to try out.

Everything about it has this smooth appearance. From the edges of the radio to the buttons. It also has a lovely little handle which you can use to carry it from room to room.
The new print 'Dancing Mice' is really pretty. It isn't too over the top or too in your face and adds to the dainty appeal of the Retro Mini. I think it would look perfect in any little girls bedroom.
The radio is really easy to scan for your favourite radio stations. It automatically finds them for you when you turn it on and like magic you have all the radio stations, which you can easily flick between by again pressing a button. It so easy that even a 3 year old could do it. In fact Lily did do it.
You may wonder what kind of music to put on for your child but there is actually a youth related station called Fun Kids Radio. Though I have yet to find this through the stations.
The station name is on the front of the screen so you can see what you are playing which is very helpful.
The radio also tells you the time on the front, which is also some how correct when you turn it on. I love how easy everything is with this radio.
The radio also come with other functions such as a Wireless Bluetooth Connection, a My EQ Equaliser with 6 presets and an Alarm Clock. The alarm clock is great to wake up to and have your favourite music playing to you. Or you can just set it for a normal alarm sound. I currently wouldn't use the alarm clock with Lily yet as she happens to be MY alarm clock. But it would definetly have benefits for older children who you need up for school.
Lily really liked the radio and enjoyed turning it on and switching the stations and then having a good old dance to it.
There is evidence that children are starting to find it more difficult to fall asleep and factors such as too much TV time or tablet time are contributing to this. This radio has a sleep timer on it so then it will turn off after a certain amount of time. So you can find some soft music to sooth your child to sleep and let them drift off naturally and peacefully. The bluetooth function on this also means that you can stream your own choice of music or even play an audio book for your child.
Lily has currently had problems drifting off to sleep and so now this is in her bedroom I may concider doing exactly that.
The Retro Mini Digital Radio with Emma Bridgewater Children’s Patterns retails at £89.99 but is something that your child will use for years, and so really does make the perfect gift. You can buy yours from the VQ radio website.
Now for the chance to WIN one. I am giving away 2 of these radios and the 2 winners get to choose which print they would like.
