I Love Ponies Mobile Pony Care

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > School Equipment
from: Vivid Imaginations


Bought this for my 9 year old daughter as a Christmas present. She loves it but I don't.
Along the lines of Animal Hospital, I Love Ponies is great for little girly girls.
Best feature: The magic colour change "hurts" that appear and disappear on the ponies when wiped with hot or cold cloths.
Worst feature: Lots of small pieces and several only made of cardboard ensuring they won't last more than 5 minutes.

Tomy Choo Choo Loop

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > School Equipment
from: Tomy


When I first got this, I was initially disappointed at the size. The picture doesn't really give you an idea, and I suppose I was thinking the train itself would be chunky and big. In fact, it's a fair size, but quite dinky. The loop, when setup, is about 12" across and the train is about 3" long.

This is quite entertaining for the kids. Mine got it when she was 9 months old, and she still plays with it, even if it's only for a few minutes at a time.

Praise first - great for teaching them to concentrate (getting the train on the track is difficult for a littl'un), VERY VERY durable (ours has been smashed apart a million times and it always clicks back together again), teaches them ON and OFF (as they get older you can ... Read More:

Very poor quality - wood doesn't fit together - not worth the money at all.

Wild Science - Triop World

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > School Equipment
from: Interplay UK


Its simple really, you get a packet of eggs that look like tobaco, and you pour half of them in some natural mineral water that should be inside the inclded bowl.
Wait 24 hours and half the eggs should have hatched, your told not to feed them for the next 48 hours as they will eath the eggs. When there first hatched its hard to see them but you can see little tiny white tails swimming around, and lots of them!
Soon after 48 hours they should now be clearly visable and you can now feed them with your food that was included.
One of them was huge and I decided to name him Fatty, unfortanatly even when there is enough food the Triops love to eat eachother, I remember after 5 days seeing Fatty nibbling one of my Triops, I did get quite ... Read More:

Symphony in Motion Remote Control Mobile

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > School Equipment
from: Tiny Love


We bought this for my son before he was born and used the whole unit until he began to try to pull the animals off. Then, we just took the stick with the mobile off and left the musical control unit in the cot. He is 1.5 years old now and loves to turn the music on in the morning (he really loves the Bach tune, in particular).
Now I am faced with the decision of which mobile to buy for the second child because I cannot take away his little music box - even though he doesn't care about the mobile anymore!

It is a great buy, though. The batteries last for a very long time. I think we've only changed them twice in my son's lifetime!

Bontempi Wind Instruments - Trumpet TR4231/N

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > School Equipment
from: Bontempi


My 2, 3 year olds love instruments! I was given vocuhers to buy them some online and was thrilled to see that I could afford to buy quite a few. Prices are brilliant. My son loves to play with it. It was hard to play one of the buttons at first, but after a few weeks we didn't notice. It didn't always play the note.
It is a great addition to our musical collection!

Quercetti - Magnetic Alphabet Lower Case 40 Pieces

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > School Equipment
from: Quercetti


I bought this magnetic alphabet set as I had purchased other Quercetti toys before that my child enjoyed. The problem with these letters is that they have the smallest piece of magnet on the backing of the letter. I found that they barely stuck to the fridge and would constantly fall off. Try a different set!

Bob The Builder Friction Scoop

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > School Equipment
from: Born To Play


This toy is worth the money. My 2 eldest boys and all of their friends have played with it for 3 years, left it out in the snow, driven it in the sandbox/cat litter, rammed it into cushions, thrown it down the stairs etc. and it has survived without so much as a scratch. Surprisingly good quality. The fact that it digs and scoops into other trucks is what is most appealing, but I haven't seen any Bob the Builder role playing games like they do with their Thomas stuff.
