This toy is a must have for any Elmer fan....my sons have really enjoyed cuddling him during Elmer story time. Elmer's bright colours are great for teaching or reinforcing colour recognition too!

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

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


We bought one of these classic toys for our 7 year old. It was great for a couple of weeks until the vertical movement jammed. We sent off for a new one from the suppliers but it never arrived. Took three follow up phone calls and an extremely irate fax to get any response from the suppliers who finally supplied a new one nine months after the first one broke!

The quality of new models is not as good as the ones I remember when I was a kid. The plastic is not as strong and is more brittle. It can be cracked if dropped. The mechanism is not as good either. The knobs are more difficult to hold because they're smaller (not just because I'm older!) and are not as smooth in use.

As a toy it's still good fun but I felt let ... Read More:

Tomy Aqua Draw Mini Mats - Dora the Explorer

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

September 22, 2006
As soon as my 2 year old opened the box, she was rapt with these! She loves colouring but of course is too young to understand not to just scrawl over it all... with these mats that is no problem. They kept her entertained for at least an hour and she goes back to them again and again. I would recommend. Yes the pen is a bit small as a previous reviewer said but I do not consider this a problem. A much loved toy already!

My 9 month old loves this toy, and so does everyone who picks it up! Hours of fun and such a simple idea. I'll be buying this again and again for my friends as they have babies.

Nircom Babysense ll Movement/Sound Monitor

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


We have an eight month old baby and have just purchased this monitor. We had previously been using our Tommee Tippee Ultimate sensor monitor which has been great too but for the last couple of months the alarm has gone off several times a night where the baby has rolled off the sensor mat.
I was not happy about spending yet more money on another monitor but for peace of mind decided I should. At last a peaceful nights sleep!!
The Babysense mats are great and do cover the whole cot area. There is no sound monitor though so I still use the one from my Tommee Tippee. I would definately recommend this product to those purchasing their first monitor but would suggest that they also purchase a basic audio monitor to work alongside it

LeapFrog Leapster Carry Bag

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


This is a durable carry case which holds the leapster inside by a zip. On the back of it there is a netting bag which is for putting up to 6 games in. My son (aged 5) got one of these for Christmas and it has meant that his leapster stuff is all kept together and therefore less able to become damaged. I would highly recommend one of these if you have, or are thinking of owning a leapster - well worth the money.

BRIO 33754 Wooden Railway System: Magnetic Bell Signal

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


We were very disapointed with this item - the bell ring is VERY quiet and the magnetic ringer only works with brio trucks that have large metal hubs on the wheels. If, like us, you have a hybrid set of Tesco/Thomas/Brio etc. you may find some problems with getting the bell to ring at all.

It's a good idea but just doesn't work well in practice.
we recommend a level crossing or collapsing bridge instead.
