Connect 4

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Characters and Brands

Connect 4 is a classic game. It's essentially a more complex version of Noughts and Crosses, but with gravity dropped (!) in. You have to drop your pieces down the slots in turns, and create a line of four in a row. At first, it sounds simple, but there are skills - creating traps and forcing your opponent into them. It is a game I have played literally thousands of times and it never gets tired.

Tomy : Teletubbies Bath Island

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Characters and Brands
from: Tomy


If it wasn't for the fact my little girl loves the teletubby characters that come with this toy, I would have sent this back within 5 minutes of it being in the bath. It sinks almost immediately. This is unsurprising as there are two slit holes either side of the base which just let the water flood in. Crazy!

We also bought another bath toy at the same time which has no holes and of course doesn't sink! What a surprise!

Now this island is just in the way and annoys me everytime I see it!!

Tomy Cinderella Aqua Draw

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Characters and Brands
from: Tomy


My 3 year old really loves this toy. I love it because you only need to fill the pen with water, so there is no chance of ink on the floor or the table. The pen is then used to draw on the special white mat which then goes 'magically' pink (my daughter still can't work that one out!). The fun really starts when you switch on the Cinderella figure and watch as she follows the lines drawn on the mat and dances with her prince charming! The Cinderella theme tune is played and brings back a few memories for me too!! This really is a lovely toy.

LEGO Star Wars 7655 Clone Troopers Battle Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Characters and Brands

The product info doesn't mention how very small the box is. Perhaps this toy will be a lot of fun for a lego / Star Wars fan ?? ... but it is going to seem a very tiny present when it is handed over at a party. Overpriced?

Hungry Hippos

I remember playing this when I were a lad, way back in t'eighties, and like all great games it hasn't changed at all.

It takes no time to put together, is brightly coloured, makes lots of noise and has loads of balls rattling about, so for a family with a three year old it's a winner from the start. If only it came in a bigger box so I could store it properly...

small and sturdy enough for you to rebuild quickly(and also the ideal choice to encouage you child to follow the plans and make it themselves, as there are few pieces and instant results.

Game of Life

The manufacturer's description gives some info about the game so I won't bother with that. The game is well thought out with many different aspects and rules providing great variety throughout a game. I would have given five stars except for the fact that it is really quite a long game and with four of more people playing seems to take ages (and tries the patience of younger players). Quite often one person will be trailing very far behind the others so dragging it out further which is why we don't play it as often as many other games we have. A good game for bad weather days.

LEGO Creator 626 Green Baseplate

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Characters and Brands
from: LEGO


This is an extremely useful addition to any Lego collection.

Not only does it hold bits of Lego still making them easier to be added to, it encourages 3-D building for children who have a tendency to build 2-D 'towers'.

Can be linked together with other plates of the same or different colours to create towns, beaches etc. and stretch young imaginations.

Also very useful when you are putting Lego away. Just stick all the blocks onto the board and you have a solid lump of Lego, reducing the loss of small parts.
