The Box of Shocks Review
The Box of Shocks is a great set to get ready for April Fool’s day. Youngest especially loved playing the trickster! We had a carpenter in the house and even he had to have a demonstration or two. The poor man could not get on with fitting our floor in peace. It was shock after shock for him. He had the good grace to look thrilled by the performance, which made my little one beam from ear to ear!
Even though The Box of Shocks is designed for 8+, younger children will have a surprising enthusiasm for the contents of the box. There was a good selection of thirteen tricks all for £19.99. The instructions are easy enough to follow.
Snake Can
Youngest was fond of the snake can. He does not tire of putting it back in the can and offering the next unsuspecting person a crisp!!!
Spider!!!
The Spider Box was another he quite enjoyed; he liked saying magic words after placing something inside and watching a person’s surprise when out comes a spider…
Ink Trick
Daddy showed some concern when I said let him show you the pen trick, he looked panic stricken about pen on his new shirt! I was like just see what happens…
He was most relieved when the mark disappeared back into the pen on elastic!
Hubbie then did the pen through the hand trick and grimaced like he was in genuine pain…
Young children love being the center of attention (and possibly the daddies too!) and this set lets them really perform for the audience. I am just glad I had an idea what to expect, as I think I would have had a few more grey hairs otherwise (with spiders jumping out and snakes firing at me!).

I don't have any children, but my nephews do x
Yes they definately do!
oh yes my little girl is always trying to creep up on us 🙂
My young son is a real joker so would love this !
All the time and they are really funny
My kids adore practical jokes – would love this (although even if they managed to surprise me the first time I would have to be "surprised" by the same thing another 20 or so times!
Not yet, but I'm sure it will come!
Yes, she likes to hide behind doors and jump out.
Yes
yep…maily the one where i say dont do something and they tell me they have then i start moaning and they say…ha only joking
Yes they love it.
My son does, to me and his little sister, he gets up to all sorts, very mischievous
oh god yes my son gets me everytime
Yes, as well as my cousins!
My son loves to lie if that counts. He loves telling stories as an excuse to do something he's not allowed. For example school forbids chewing gum but he told me and the teachers that he found a pack of gum and was planning to hand it in but his hands slipped and the gum flew into the air and as he looked up, one landed straight into his mouth. He then said he doesn't like to waste food.
Yes when i babysit they play tricks and generally play me up lol
Yes
yes and it gets worse as they get older. My youngest are still fairly innocent in their pranks, but my preteen is a demon trickster. So far she has managed to convince me she got her nose pierced, and that she dyed her hair brunette!
Of course! Never miss an opportunity to put the frighteners up me or make me look ever so slightly (or a lot!) daft!
