Insect Lore Butterfly Garden

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Outdoor Toys
from: Insect Lore


Absolutely superb present for the kids that amazes them and provides daily interest as they watch the tiny caterpillars transform into butterflies over a few weeks.

The kit contains a colourful pop-up enclosure with a feeding pipette and a coded voucher to redeem for a couple of quid for 4 or 5 tiny caterpillars. They can't put live caterpillars in the box of course. The voucher must either be sent by post or the code used on the Insect Lore website. I went for the web option used PayPal and effortlessly received the caterpillars within 2 days. You are sent a small clear plastic jar with half a cm of some kind of fatty substance at the bottom. The caterpillars remain in the jar (it has tiny air holes) eating away at the fatty ... Read More:

Fisher-Price Bubble Mower

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Outdoor Toys
from: Fisher-Price


This was bought as a present for my daughter but it causes riots in our garden as my son also adores it.

We keep it in the garden and despite being their over the winter it still looks good as new.

My only criticism is that that bottle containing the bubble mixture tips over far too easily and spills everywhere.

I don't believe this product matches the description. A red light bulb does not provide night vision. I'm going to return this product.

Gazillion Bubble Machine

Gazillion Bubble Machine Ours lasted only a month and stopped working after one of the children picked it up and carried it around for a bit - not roughly. I think it got bubble stuff inside, but it should really be build to cope with this.

All Surface Swingball

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Outdoor Toys
from: Mookie


The "all-surface" swingball has proved a great hit with our 5 year old, who'll play for hours, but is not up to adult use. Ours does not have the extra poles mentioned by a previous reviewer and is too low down even for me at 5' 4". Also it doesn't take much of a whack before it tips over even with the base filled to the brim with water. Ours does not have the pole coming out of the base - the whole thing goes. The ball attachment is not up to the standards of the 1980s one I remember as a child but we wish we'd gone for the stake in the ground type.

Juggling Balls

Juggling Balls
Someone told me that juggling keeps your grey matter working well and I found some old tennis balls at home to practice with but they're a bit too big so I bought these. They're far easier to juggle with although I still have some way to go before I'm proficient. A good present for all ages.
