Original Rubik's Cube

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Drumond Park


This puzzle is durable and makes the owner use their mind and improve their dexterity. Whether it is educational is doubtful, although as I already said it encourages the user to think. Plus side: You can use it just about anywhere. It does not use batteries or mains electricity (a big plus for me, the bill payer), there are no small parts to lose and a sense of achievement is attained if you master the puzzle. Down side: Can become boring after a while and as I am finding out can lead to frustration.

After spending a great deal of time and energy a number of years ago, I finally mastered the mystery of the Rubik Cube and could solve the puzzle in a time that I, at least thought was impressive.

How frustrating. I bought ... Read More:

Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver LED Torch

from: Wesco

August 02, 2006
Have you ever opened a gift to find it is totally not the sort of gift you liked to receive. You wonder who bought it you and why ? Then you get that feeling of embarrassment. Well, this is how I felt when I saw this item. Firstly, it looks so much like a pen, it really needed to have one built into it, to make it worth its while. The LED flashlight is pretty hopeless, the item looks cheap and plasticy because it is just that !

Most of the Dr. Who tie in stuff I've seen has been pretty well finished, epsecially the Daleks. This item is far from that and if you were considering buying one for a kid, I'd forget it and opt for one of the other sonic screwdrivers on the market.

Super Swingball

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Mookie


This is a great toy for all aspiring tennis players or just those of you who do not have a large enough garden to play tennis in. It's great to play with in the summer in the sun and will please all ages including parents. Best played with two people but you can practice on your own.

Scrabble Original

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Mattel


This might call itself Scrabble Original, but it isn't. The Scrabble sets I played on as a lad all had wee holes in the board and pegs on the tiles so that the game wouldn't be ruined by the slightest knock. Sadly no more. It also comes in a stupidly huge box to make storage unnecessarily awkward. Disappointing.

My two childeren are six and seven. We had a lot of fun with this trying to find things that the toy couldn't guess. I managed with 'Xmas tree'. The kids got quite into it and were playing together with it on their own and asking me questions about words they didn't recognise.

Top Trumps - Specials - High School Musical

I found these cards great for my 7 and 5 year olds as they love High School Musical. These cards helped them with the numbers higher and lower values whilst they had fun.
