Following their previous success Num Noms are back with even more tasty flavours: Plus the Noms now come in stamps and funky erasers, as well as the previous lip glosses and motorized forms. The new savoury flavours are inspired by brunch dishes (such as Maple Cakes and Berry Waffles); Pizzas (like Peppy Roni and Margo Rita); with sweet foods being inspired by fairground foods, freezer pops, cupcakes and ice-creams!
Bella Italia and Num Noms Series 2 Event
My boys and I were invited to Bella Italia Gloucester to find out more about the Num Noms series 2. There were several activities for them to choose from and it was great to see what variety of ways that Num Noms can inspire play and family time.
The boys enjoyed free-play with the Num Noms and enjoyed trying to stack them as high as they could, sorting out their favourites, and seeing what foods they recognised. Plus the Num Noms Lip Gloss Truck Playsets were there and very popular – my son loved discovering all the surprises on the truck.
There were sheets to colour in Num Noms and to design your own. This is great at encouraging the children to think about different flavours – and what combinations they would want together. A great way to introduce children to recipes and cooking.
Pizza Making – in Num Nom style they could make their own pizza. This again makes them think about what foods would go together – plus the order that they want to place them in.
Ice-cream eating – they could chose up to two different flavours.
Num Noms are scented and so there were scratch and sniff stickers, plus a blind smell game – to see if smells could be identified without looking – and of course smelling the Num Noms themselves.
Face-painting (or tattoos as my son calls it because he had it on his arm and not his face). The artist was very good and my youngest was thrilled with what he calls his Ninja Noms (actually a Was a bi Go-Go).

I was invited to the Num Noms event where we were given food, drink and the boys a bag containing a Num Noms Mystery Blind Pack. All words and opinions are honest and my own.
