Ancient Fighting Machines - Trebuchet

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Wooden Craft Kits
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.

Melissa & Doug - Alphabet Stamp Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Wooden Craft Kits
from: Flair


We gave this to our daughter for her 6th birthday. She is learning to read and write so this set, with it's upper and lower case is fantastic. She is stamping her Christmas thankyou letters! We also gave her a badge making kit, and she's making badges for her friends with their names on them. It's great as she has to concentrate on the spelling, and is more likely to get them right as it takes time to select each letter, rather than writing. They look lovely on a page and she's really enjoying it.
Our older 8yr old boy loves doing it too.
