take home the box of Barbies and get them to wash their clothes in a bucket on the back lawn on a sunny day. With a portable airer and some pegs and they will be busy for ages.
the Pre-school collection of My Little Pony’s is looking a little lack-lustre. Take them home one weekend, give them a good scrub down and groom and they will come up like new equines
