Perfume Lab

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
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!

VTech Kidizoom: Multimedia Digital Camera Pink

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


I bought this for my daughter for christmas and thought I had better set it up and see how it works. To use is easy but the pictures are of very poor quality and unless I had all the lights on the flash was no good.
I didnt like this camera at all and have returned it and have now purchased the Fisher Price one.

We bought this item for our daughter last Christmas and is a much loved toy, our daughter is almost 2 now and it still gets played with every day I am also a childminder and it is a favourite with children from 9 months to 3 years.

VTech Kidizoom: Multimedia Digital Camera in Blue

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


We bought this camera for my 3 year old son this time last year after showing an avid interest in using my own Digital SLR's! As has been pointed out in previous reviews, image resolution is low and shots with flash are often burnt out. However, even with that, my son loved the camera showing great pride in taking pictures and immediately showing the person the picture displayed on the monitor (no matter how good or bad it was!). Always with a grin and enjoying it immensely - which is what it's all about IMO. Sure, the twin viewfinder suffers from parallax error at close distances but my son soon learned to frame using the rear monitor. We never bothered trying to print any images as I know there's little point with the 640x480 resolution and anyhow, ... Read More:

Tomy Rummikub Game

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

January 01, 2004
There are thousands of new games every year. Most of them disappear without a trace. Some acquire a devoted but small following. Just a few become classics. Rummikub is one these.

Invented in Romania in 1940, Rummikub is essentially a tile version of the traditional card game Rummy. It didn't really make it internationally until the 1970s, but by 1980 it had won a string of awards and established itself as a great family game.

Basically, it's about creating sets of three or more in a row of tiles either in runs of the same colour (1-2-3-4 etc), or the same number but in different colours. The winner is the person who gets rid of all their tiles first. The clever bit is that you can rearrange the tiles already on the board in order ... Read More:

WobBally Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Trends Uk Ltd


WobBally is clearly influenced by the classic game Jenga, the twist being that this time it is a stack of balls you are trying to keep intact, rather than blocks of wood.

The game is well-made, bright and colourful. The idea is that players take turns to remove a ball from the stack, all of which are balanced on rings of plastic to form a tower. There are different variations in that the next ball to be removed can be picked by the player or by rolling two dice.

In theory, it sounds like a great game. In practice, sadly it is not. The tower of balls is extremely wobbly, meaning that when you try to poke one of the balls inwards (using a supplied plastic, er, `poking stick') the whole tower tends to lean precariously. A reasonable ... Read More:

Tomy Thomas & Friends Bath Island

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

January 01, 2004
My boys love this toy. They have had loads of fun over the last couple of years getting Thomas to slide down the ramp and pouring water over the water wheel. It's their favourite bath toy.
We haven't had problems with it sticking, but it can slide as it's quite heavy. If the water isn't too deep it's fine.
