In the Night Garden has been enchanting pre-schoolers since it first arrived in 2007. For this Christmas a sweet new Good Night Friends Upsy Daisy and Igglepiggle have been launched by Playskool. Alex Bell and daughter Pippa went along to the launch event.
A game designed to teach colour, number and letter recognition, Red Rover from Fisher-Price, sadly failed to capture Harriet Elliott's children's imagination.
The boys in Harriet Elliott's family loved this latest game from Jumbo. But with at least one Fireman Sam-obsessed son, Fireman Sam Spin & Rescue was bound to be a success!
Bandai now has a brand new range of Tinga Tinga Tales™ toys for the pre-school market. We had the Water Hole Play Set but there are so many more to choose from, write Anne Coates.
When she first saw this game, Anne Coates immediately thought of Sandy who is dinosaur mad! But it's only for the brave, writes his mother Georgina Collins of Drumond Park's Dino Bite.
Alex Bell had played with PlayPlax at friends' houses when she was a child but never owned it herself. So she was doubly delighted to try out the revived game – with the help of her children Toby and Pippa, of course!
Inflatable costumes for kids? We asked three young testers – Hal, Toby and Rosamund – to try Airhedz out. They loved them and the parents' verdict? Hilarious!
Get ready for the latest Winnie the Pooh feature film with a brand new range of puzzles from Jumbo. Using iconic new imagery from the upcoming movie, these puzzles are ideal for all new or classic fans of the much-loved Disney character. Alex Bell tried one out with three year-old Pippa ably assisted by older brother Toby!
Disney Interactive Software has just launched its brand new video game: LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. Brian O'Neill took his son and a friend to the launch event to try out the game.
Mix and match bodies in the shape of eggs with attitude – Egg Bods are here and were voted the pocket money toy of these year. Georgina Collins introduced them to Sandy aged four and – with close supervision! – Betty aged one.
If you're looking for a soft toy with a difference, this superb ethical range of large toys is ideal. We tried out the Giant Panda for size but there are 20 to choose from and each one is, sadly, an endangered species.
