  • wrecked

    it was a good price and so handy for my children and i guess that is why they fought over it and broke it so i suggest getting it for over 4 year olds now. Also the material covering the ear pads came off quickly

    i had actually checked it out when we first bought it and it sounded fine and was doing a good enough job for the kids

    if it had lasted a bit longer it would have been so handy and i would have given it more stars

  • Miss two loves her head phones

    Our miss two loves her head phones and so do we .. She listens to her reading books on our iPads. Also to her music on her media player and to get head phones that look cute on a two year old that’s into iPads media players etc is not easy… Miss two loves pink. .. Not into Barbie yet but pink is her colour loves anything and everythink pink.. We did not know about the barbie head phones until reading it in reviews and I went straight over the next day to dick smiths at Bankstown and brought them.. I was surprise as did see for25 dollars we brought ours for twenty .. But I,m very happy and so is Kiera… She brings over her head phones and media player . We set her up on the lounge and or she has her media player in her pocket and dancers around with head phones on… I just don,t feel the need to listen to wiggles all day every day…

  • Very girly!

    My daughter actually received these for her birthday last month. She uses an iPad a lot, to practise reading and writing, to review her social stories, and of course to watch tv and play games when we’re not watching her closely! The headphones are good fit, though look extremely large on her. My only concern is that when she has them on, we can’t monitor what she is doing on the iPad.
    Also, according to the website, these are only $5 now – a real bargain!

  • Barbie girl jump for joy

    We recieved the headphones on saturday morning and my two girls (6 and 4) have fought over them since .They literally jumped up and down screaming in excitement when they saw them, 🙂 even though they didnt know what they did to start with. They love that they are Barbie. They are real
    y sturdy, and strong. Fits well on their heads, and doesnt fall off when they dance around to music. I found it was really great to use with the ipod for both songs as well as the apps and games- gives me some peace in the car whilest driving!. So far these are a definate 5 star in my house, and I think i will actually get another pair for christmas so they have one each.

  • Perfect gift for girls this christmas!

    The Barbie My Fab Headphones are not only cute, but great quality and amazingly affordable. My daughter recently got an MP3 player with earbud headphones but disliked how they felt so has been driving us crazy playing her music through the speakers. Finally we have peace and quiet again now that she has the Barbie My fab Headphones. She says they are super comfy and as a crazy barbie fan loves the pink bling look of them. I was pleased at how affordable they are! such a great gift idea this Christmas!

  • Fabulous, adjustable, comfy headphones

    As soon as my 6 year old daughter arrived home from school to test the Barbie headphones, they have been inseparable! She loves the fact that she can plug them into our Ipad2/3 and play her games in peace and quiet. She has watched some YouTube Barbie clips as well as interactive listening games. I would note when the headphones are on she is oblivious to any one around her! The only improvement would be if these headphones had a volume control as my daughter has the tendency to have everything too loud. The good points extra long cord, comfy headband, fully adjustable as your child grows are all big positives.

  • A winner for the girls!

    My 4 yo just loves these, the colour and design are a winner. She can put them on and off by herself. The earpieces are padded and soft, so no marks left around her ears and they are fully adjustable. Price I think is spot on and would be a great gift for any barbie fan.

  • These not only look FAB, the price and quality are FAB too!

    My 5 y/o loves these headphones. She loves anything Barbie, so these were an instant hit. They are an incredibly comfortable fit, as she listens to her favourite tunes or watches a movie for extended periods of time. The price is just right, especially for children who seem to go through fads and may not be sooo into Barbie next year.

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

  • So happy to share the magic of baby powder after a messy day at the beach or park! It’s been a game changer for us.
    Not quite as elaborate as the pop up tent, but a large towel with a hood has been great to discretely change out of bathers! It’s my husband’s go to now haha

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
