Sun Jar

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Toys
from: Suck UK Ltd


I was recently given a sun jar as a birthday present and I love it. It sits in my front window, which gets the sunlight during the day, and many of my neighbours have said how cosy it is to see it glowing away there after dark! I am planning to get one for the back garden now as well, and a couple more as Christmas presents.

Scrabble Original

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Toys
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.

Monopoly

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Toys
from: Hasbro


I find the naivety of the "I lost because I rolled a 4..." comment startling.

I loved this game as a child and played it often, I now have children of my own and we play it. In all the hundreds of games I have played over the years only a very small percentage was bad luck the deciding factor in the game and I cannot think of a single game when a game was won because of good-luck. There is an element of chance in the game but there is far and away more skill and strategy than chance.

Any player that is out because he rolled a 4 rather than a 5 had probably lost the game a long time ago and that was just the killing blow. Perhaps he had overstretched and was caught out or perhaps another player had risked his fortune ... Read More:

Carcassonne

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Toys
from: Rio Grande Games


Carcassonne is a brilliant game full of surprises. It's basically just taking a tile and laying it in the right place, but there's a bit of oomph you've to put into it as well, and that is what makes it fun and exciting. I can't wait to get some expansions which are supposed to make it better.

It's price is very good for the game and I'm very pleased with it, it's also very addictive. William.

Grobag Egg

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Toys
from: Grobag® Egg


Well, like the others I find this to read ridiculously hot. When we have another thermometer (which is also inaccurate reading too high, that's why we replaced it with this!) reading 23.5 and the heating thermostat set at 19 the egg continues to warn us it's 24.9 degrees in here. This is positively dangerous, I bought this product because I am disabled in a way that I can't tell my own body temperature and need to rely on a thermometer, I could die from hypothermia if I trusted this thing. It's going straight back.

I found this to be a great little book. Lots of things to look at and flaps to lift. My baby really enjoys the rattle and the tune was good to sing along with too.

Silverlit PicooZ Twin Blade 3 Channel Helicopter - TandemZ

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Toys
from: Silverlit

April 14, 2008
I'd been hanckering after a RC helicopter for a while, and one with at least 3 channels, and this fitted the bill on a special offer price of a little over 20 quid.

6 AA batteries are required for the control unit, from which the helicopter cahrges. It needs about 30 minutes for a good 10 minutes flying. Not pictured on the sales images are the two clear plastic stabilising fins which help it stay stable, but they do work,the front one can be removed when experience is gained.

Overall, after the helicopter is trimmed, stable flight can be easily achieved, but it does struggle near the ground as its own draft makes it unsteady. While the body is only polystyrene, its quite robust surviving many crashes into walls at hitting the ... Read More:
