Take Along Thomas - Switch and Cross Track Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Learning Curve


Please note, these are switches (points to UK readers) in a new style track that is not compatible with the older (2005) Take along Thomas sets like the engine shed. The new style track packs and playsets like the water tower come with adapters to allow them to be joined but only 2 per pack. As this Switch set has numerous pieces, it will be of limited use until the manufacturer brings out additional track packs in the new style! The older additional track packs and play sets will not work with these bits.

Ancient Fighting Machines - Trebuchet

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Interplay UK


I bought this model with the idea of helping my nephew build it and I have to say I have ended up with mixed feelings.

LeapFrog Pooh's Honey Tree - My First LeapPad Interactive Book

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning

This is the best of the books currently available for the "First Leappad"system in the opinion of my toddler. The simple reason why? It featuresWinnie the Pooh!

Go Diego Go Talking Rescue Radio I bought this to help familiarise my children with more Spanish, but it only stretches to "hola, I'm Diego". Very disappointing
