Perfume Lab

Childrens Toy Shop > > Nursery Equipment
from: Interplay UK


I bought this for my 8 year old daughter and she liked it - mind you it only lasted for a day or so and the scents were not much to write home about. I cant help thinking that a good ol go with some rose petals and water has about the same educational level. i think that it could have had more scents in it - and more interesting ones too. These packs never have enough stuff in them and once they are gone they are gone. Mind you my daughter did enjoy doing it but beware - you may have to wear rose and mint perfume!

Buckaroo

Childrens Toy Shop > > Nursery Equipment
from: Hasbro


This is a classic gamic which I remember being brilliant from childhood. The theory of it is brilliant, load items until the donkey throws them off but this version is cheap, tacky and it doesn't even buck unless you prod it roughly once all the items are on. The items to load are all very poor quality.
The mechanism to reset the donkey is also difficult to operate.
Another game which has been completely ruined by poor production and cost cutting.
Don't waste your money on this version. If you have a very young child 'Bounce Bounce Tigger' is much better quality and works slightly better than this game.

Classic Etch A Sketch - The World's Favourite Drawing Toy

Childrens Toy Shop > > Nursery Equipment
from: Flair


Bought this for my daughter last Christmas and frankly hasn't worked properly since. You can't get rid of the previous drawing. The new drawing line is so thin and faint you have to go over the line a number of times to see it. All in all very disappointing and not at all like the original one I had many years ago.

Rush Hour Traffic Jam Puzzle

Childrens Toy Shop > > Nursery Equipment
from: Ravensburger


I bought this last year for my then 5 year old son, but my 8 year old daughter enjoyed it more at the time and now they both play it - very good toy - keeps the mind going - even for the adults. Good for keeping them quiet for a while. Very durable - just don't lose any of the cars, (which shouldn't happen if they pack it away in the provided bag). I am now buying 'hoppers' this xmas in the hopes that it brings as much pleasure and quiet time!

Lamaze - Freddie The Firefly

Childrens Toy Shop > > Nursery Equipment
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy as it looked like it would hold my attention as well as my baby's! It did the trick as there are so many little details on it. Alongside the bright colours, which were great for my newborn as he is not able to feel the different materials yet, the back is black and white which he spends forever gazing at. Having bought the lamaze monkey also, Freddie has much more to do, including a mirror under one wing-great for peek-a-boo!

Mould & Paint - Fairy

Childrens Toy Shop > > Nursery Equipment
from: Great Gizmos


...am making it my life's work to deter you from buying these products. We've had 'em all over the years and I still haven't been able to create anything that looks like a fairy for my children to paint. My most recent effort looked like a dried lumpy ball of badly mixed plaster of paris which coincidentally was exactly what it was. If they were to bring out a product called "Mould and Paint Dried Lumpy Ball of Badly Mixed Plaster of Paris", I would have to give it five stars. The paints have lasted a long time but only because we've never had occasion to use them.

At this price, some might describe the product as a "stocking filler". Well, you fill a stocking with plaster of paris and you might end up with something more closely ... Read More:

In The Night Garden Ninky Nonk Train Vehicle

Childrens Toy Shop > > Nursery Equipment
from: Hasbro

July 28, 2007
I bought this together with the play mat and some other Night Garden items. Its NOT overpriced (after my opinion)You cant expect to get a huuge train with buttons and lights for this price anyway.. I havent passed this one on to my daughter yet (Christmas) but I know for sure she will like it. It wouldve been even better if it was twice as big and optional to open the doors etc like you can do with the Tombliboos Bush.However, its a cute Train thats fitting the price. BUT when thats said, if Hasbro DID make a train that the characters actually can fit into (those who are to come with PlayMat World etc) - and added 20£ to the price Id rather buy that.

I do agree with some of the comments that the funny thing about this train is: Putting ... Read More:

Although after about 10 minutes or so every day using this you will wish you never purchased it (I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves.....)your baby will love the animal sounds, the repetition and the flashing lights and this will encourage them to start babbling and gurgling......which is just delightful!
