Barbie Candy Glam Styling Head & Lipgloss

You can make coloured, glittery lipgloss which can be stored in cute little pots that look like cupcakes. The tools can all be stored on the styling head which makes things neater and hopefully less likely to get lost.

Scrabble 60th Anniversary

I like the way the letters clip onto the board,so if it gets knocked they don't go all over the place and ruin the game.

Woogies

It like a little friend for an only child

BABY Born Ethnic Doll with Magic Eyes

I would definitely recommend this doll, I am a childminder and the all children (ages 3 to 11) have had lots of fun playing with her, giving her a drink and changing her. I like the fact that for a change no batteries are involved! My grand daughter (age just 1) likes to play with her eye lashes as these are 'proper' ones and not just drawn on or one big lash for each eye!

Tomy Dance With Me Teletubby

It's really funny and just like the ones on telly.

Lazy Town Stephanie Doll & Fashion

Well made and actually looks like a little girl and not a supermodel. My daughter loves her.

Baby Annabell Pink Outfit

The quality of the wrap round garmet is bad. I don't like the colour or type of material used at all.

Power Rangers Inline Scooter

Good and sturdy and my son really liked the paint work.

High School Musical Girls Dress Up Yearbook

Woild have liked more details re clothes sizing. It would be better if it was available in different size ranges even if it cost a little more.

In The Night Garden Og Pog Scooter

This is a very sturdy well build scooter, with great added features - the bubble machine is fantastic, my daughter loves the wee sponge and soap and the horn. It's very like the real thing.

Step2 Neat Tidy Cottage

My son loves it and especially as it has a door bell and phone. As a mother I like the open side sections so that I can still see the children in it but with it still having working shutters etc. Whilst by no means the cheapest I felt it was best value for money with regards internal facilities, build structure, colour etc.

VTech My Laptop

Kid liked it

Scene It Doctor Who

This though seems much more difficult to play although we all like Dr Who we haven't watched each episode more than once and because there are so many story lines and characters we struggled to answer the questions. Really you'll need to watch the episodes lots of times and be a real avid fan to play it!

Thomas The Tank Engine Radio Controlled Steam & Sound Thomas

the steam effect is really life like and both my boys love it

TMX Elmo Extra Special Edition

Keeps my 20 month old entertained for ages. He has to remember where the buttons are and he copies the actions that Elmo does. My older son also likes listening to the stories Elmo says and joins in with his jokes. It also brings out the caring side of the children as when he falls over he asks to be picked up and always thanks the children for doing so. They love giving him a hug and blowing kisses like he does.

Transforming WALL.E

Durable, fun, looks just like the real Wall.E

Bratz Girlz Really Rock Music Video Star

It really works the kids can watch themselves dancing on tv and you can hook any music upto it that you like via mp3/ipod. The picture quality is great my girls love it.

Mamas & Papas Graziella

clips are a bit fiddly to put together and looks like it might break

Alive Lion Cub

Very life-like and quite robust.

Ben 10 Alien Force - Ultimate Omnitrix

Looks like the cartoon and has more features than the previous omintrix

Chad Valley Cleaning Trolley

you have to tip the trolley to push it as she is only 3 she thinks she can push it like a buggy and get's annoyed with it when it won't push.

Dora the Explorer Talking Backpack & Doll

None of the items in the bag do anything. It would be better if the camera clicked or you could turn the end of the binoculars or something like this

Dora the Explorer Keyboard

Should like the stool to be a little more sturdy - maybe the base a little larger - but not really an issue or a problem

FiFi Forget-Me-Not Cottage

excellent value its like a little fairy land for fifi and bumble! my daughter loves it!

Hornby Local Freight Train Set

Like a lot of toys which are made of lots of pieces it is very difficult when the track etc is taken apart to put things back in the box. I always encourage my children to do this to prevent damage when not in use.

Fisher Price Lazy Town Stylin' Stephanie Set

Would have liked a dress to complete look

FurReal Friends Filo My Roll Over Pup

Not very cuddly - rather hard to touch. More soft and puppy like would have made more appealing.

Sylvanian Families - Bear Family Celebration

the children really like playing with them

Tesco Medical Trolley

My 3 year old grandson loved it. The trolley contains lots of general 'medical' equipment that help children accept and understand the use of it, perhaps, in their own experience. The interactive element of "Ask the Doctor" is a bit repetitive - but this is often what small children like.

In the Night Garden - Gazebo Ball Pool

engages children quite well, they seem to like it a lot

Little Einsteins Pat Pat Rocket

Easy to use and carry, lots of imaginitive games can be made up. The music isn't irritating like some toys.

Jigsaw Roll

Do not like the felt. Will not lay flat all the time and picks up the dust from the back of the puzzle pieces. Difficult to move fixed pieces when working.

Little Tikes Inside/Outside Kitchen

very life like kitchen and barbecue

Ladybird Disney Princess Belle Dress Up

very like the original

FurReal Friends Filo My Roll Over Pup

Gave a lot of comfort to my grandson. He loves dogs and the moving action made him think it was like a real dog/

My Little Mosaic Travel System

This buggy is absolutley fantastic. Very well made and definately value for money. I have purchased this for my Grandaughter as a surprise for when her new brother arrives and I am sure, (now I have put the buggy together), she will be thrilled and be able to walk to the shops with her Mummy, Brother and new Baby Brother and have her 2 dollys in her buggy just like Mummy.

JCB Lawnmower

So much like real thing

Baby Born with Magic Potty - Girl

It will clearly help a child to understand the meaning of potty training. Also it is life-like which pleases children.

Roary the Racing Car - Friction Powered Talking Tin Top

Well built, exact likeness to TV character, fun

Li'l Luvables Fluffy Factory

My little girl loves this and could easily manage it on her own,although it is great to do together. She especially likes dressing up the little bears once she's made them. I thought this was really good value for money!

Picoo Z Remote Control Helicopter

The dog likes to try and get it!

Sylvanian Families - Persian Cat Family

If your children like sylvanians they will love these cats

Teksta Playful Pup

Grand daughter took a instant like to it. Even at 4 years she was able to understand the controls

Baby Annabell Musical Walker

music not as expected, more like ice cream van, very irritating, but good toy if you leave the music off

Sally Best Friend

would have liked another outfit

Mamas & Papas 3 Wheel Stroller Wow Deal

incredible value for money!! well built and its a good likeness to the real thing.

Picoo Z Remote Control Helicopter

Rotors vulnerable to damage - it is a shame that the manufacturer doesn't design it so that you can buy & fit replacement rotors. This limits the product life and once broken I am not likely to buy a replacement.

Moon Sand - Sandcastle Set

This was bought for my son for a birthday present it seem like quite good fun and his older sisters have been showing an interest too. The playmat is a good idea for keeping it in one place.

Li'l Luvables Fluffy Factory

Good fun, liked the safety zipper key which ensures that the bear can't be opened accidently so the stuffing is not a danger. Comes with 3 bears and stuffing so your child can play with it immediately. Additional toys come with stuffing so you know how much to use and it doesn't cost extra. Accessries can also be purchased to dress your stuffed toy

Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera - Blue

I bought 2 one for my son and the other for my daughter. They both loved it they were running around at xmas like they were pros. Keeps them occupied as there are games to play aswell and they can make a movie.

Little Tikes 440s

I think it would be great if it had a few more features on it like a doorbell/letterbox, maybe a window box that we could grow real flowers in, stuff like that so it sort of moves with the times rather than just a static house. But that's being very picky.

Dr Who Dalek Helmet

does not change voice like dalek

Fisher-Price Stride To Ride Lion

As far as we could see there were no bad points unless you dont like the music being played when the nose is touched.

Fisher-Price Stride To Ride Lion

Fisher Price is a name you can depend on. Good sturdy construction and what I like a lot is the fact that the child can either sit on the lion or push it. I like the way that the handle can be locked so as my grandson will not have an accident when pushing with the handle falling down. The height is just right for a child just learning to walk or when sitting on it.

Spider-Man Reversible Costume

like all children toys I think it was a little bit exspensive.

Ben 10 Omnitrix

has been superceeded - like all toys - by a more expensive model

Ben 10 Omnitrix

sounds like the one on the programme

In the Night Garden - Fold and Go Easel

my little one likes to use a felt tip pen on the chalk board and i have to use cif to get it off.

Transforming WALL.E

it doesn't really do much but is just like film character

Dora Sparkle Princess

daughter liked it

F1 Mclaren Tri Scooter

Flag keept comming off, wheels look like they might light up but dont.

Mamas & Papas 3 Wheel Stroller Wow Deal

Plenty of varied things to play with and so like the real thing. Easy for a child from 3 years old to play with. So good for price.

Ladybird Sequinned Party Dress

product was in the sale so it was extremely good value for money!!! and it was really made my little girl look like a princess

Thomas Crash & Bang Talking Thomas

Thomas engine is great - most fun just crashing into every day objects round the room, like Grandpa's feet !

Tesco 56 Piece Train Set

didn't like of the little figures, animals, trees etc - not particularly nice looking.

FiFi Forget-Me-Not Cottage

kids love it its just like the cottage on tv

Hulk Splat

great fun for all, kids and adults loved squashing the vehicles and enjoyed making the vehicles. Dosen't matter if you dont like the hulk as entertainment value is priceless.

In The Night Garden Tombliboos Bush

My daughter likes it!

Mookie Toys A8900SPCV

You cannot leave it out in the rain, the top lets water in,and the sand was like a swamp! and it is rather large to store in the house, OK if you have a large shed or garage, but I don't!

Charlie & Lola Bendy Talking Dolls

like the fact that the arms and legs move

Transformers Animated Optimus Prime

it sounded better than it was, it doesnt transform like ud expect it too. not quick to transform, like you thought also.

Transformers Animated Optimus Prime

looked ok but didnt look anything like optimus prime in film, child was disappointed.

Tesco Boys Trike

Good value for money and seems to be quite sturdy. I like the bucket seat which I think makes it more comfy for my son and he's less likely to slip off the seat. My son loves his trike even though he can't peddle it yet - also likes putting things in the bucket on the back.

Sam Best Friend

IT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING FROM THE LIVING DEAD, HORRIBLE STARING EYES WITH NO EYELASHES.

Tesco Super Market

My daughter LOVES this product, and plays with it every day. Has a good design and products to buy that look like the real thing. Plastic has no sharp edges, which is good.

Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera - Blue

Images aren't brilliant. It is only a kids camera, but for the price I would have liked them to be a little better.

Lego 7660

Sterdy and doesnt break up like some other Lego Star Wars ships

Police 6V Battery Operated Bike

nothing in particular except my son likes pulling the wires

My Baby Cuddle & Coo

very entertaining doll grandadughter liked the fact it moved and spoke words came well dressed.And you could turn the movements and talking on and off.

Star Wars Clone Trouper Helmet

Looked excellent, almost like the real thing

Baby Born with Magic Potty - Girl

Nothing major here however, if your children are like mine they will want to take the nappy on and off all the time so perhaps a velcro fastner would be better than just sticky tape. I'd also prefer an off button for the music on the potty because it can get a bit annoying after the 20/30th time...

Baby Born with Magic Potty - Girl

This doll was bought for my 2 year old daughter but my 7 year old plays with it just as much which is great that it appeals to all ages. I like the fact that this latest model does all that the older model did and a little bit more (be bathed, eat, drink & wee) - now she can even close her eyes!

Camp Rock Microphone

My daughter loves it. You can use loud speaker without the music, i.e. like a microphone.

MagNext Systems Duluxe 55 Piece

The children in my class love playing with it at wet play times. They find it very creative and I like the simplicity with which they can make new models. There are enough pieces for a group model.

Ben 10 Costume - 5 to 7 Years

For age 5-7 the top only just fits my 4 year olds, bottoms ok bit long. The material scags easily and already looks like they have had it for a year not a month. Would prefer it it could be washed rather than just sponged.

Rupert Tree House

My child enjoys all the hideaway places and the fun things to use like the swing and storage in the bed

Baby Born with Magic Potty - Boy

for a child to try and make the functions happen is quite hard, they then get bored with it. just becomes like any other doll.

1:10 F430 S1 Rc

Stickers peeled off which made it look like a cheap imitation...too long to recharge.

Monopoly - Here & Now - The World Edition

One thing i didn't really like about this game was that it didn't really have an ending it went for ages as i played it and it went on for a week

Monopoly - Here & Now - The World Edition

i liked the cash machine as you dont have to set up all the money at the start and it is quick and easy to use. i also like the models you use as your counters as you can get different ones in each set and not all of them are the same. The cards showed you facts about different countries this was very intresting.

Hedstrom 6Ft Wavy Slide

Time consuming to construct - don't leave it until the last minute like we did or if you have an impatient child waiting.

Catchphrase Dvd Game

It seemed like a good idea as the TV show was so entertaining

LEXIBOOK JC250SPBK LAPTOP

good little gift for someone who likes Spiderman

Holstein Cow

Good, sturdy and very life like.

FurReal Friends Biscuit My Lovin' Pup

I bought the dog for my daughter's 6th birthday. She adores Biscuit as much as her 10 year old sister. They watch television and the dog is by the settee and they are always stroking it as a real animal. The whole family are captivated by what the dog does and how real-like it is. A friend only called recently and as she was passing the room she honestly thought the dog was real.

Little Tikes 440s

My daughter likes to be able to open and close the door and windows. It is also fairly weather proof.

Chicco Fun and Music Bag

Could have been a couple of more features like on the "phone"

Playskool - Kota My Triceratops

My son really enjoys it, and plays with often it's like having another pet! I even give it a stroke occassionly.

Power Tour Electric Guitar

My five year old son was delighted with this guitar. He has hardly put it down since he got it. It even has some demos that are easily recognisable like 'smoke on the water'. I also bought the battery powered speaker amp which partners this toy. He takes them both with him when he visits the relatives which makes him popular!

Li'l Luvables Fluffy Factory

not really bad point would just like details of how to get more bears and stuffing, think there should be some details of how to order more parts.

Pony In my Pocket - Mum & Babies Pinto Family

looks like the soft velvety coat may start to wear off quite quickly, and the ones with "real" hair seem to shed

Disney Princess Hopscotch/Playmat

not value for money, poor quality, dosn"t fit together like proper hopscotch

Tech Deck Street Spots - Brooklyn Banks

Great for kids that like finger boards. Ideal size for use with the finger boards.

FurReal Biscuit My Best Friend

its just like having a real dog

Sylvanian Families - Willow Hall

A beautiful, solid, compact house that looks lovely in my daughters bedroom. The working lights are a great feature, as is the room divide and the different ways you can play with the house (moving the stairs, opening up the house, etc. Certainly looks robust and not likely to break easily.

Cinderella Dress-up Outfit

Makes my little girl feel like a princess because sparkly material. Easy to put on and take off. Has picture of Cinderella on it so my daughter can relate the outfit to something she loves.

Polly Pocket Mega Mall

Its bright and lots of bits which my daughter liked

Sam Best Friend

This product was exactly as described. Although quite large my niece's delight when opening it for christmas was obvious (aged 4). Her sister aged 6 received friend sally and the two girls played for hours interacting and acting out complicated role play. The clothes were well made and eas to remove. the soft body of the doll gives a life like quality and the faces are happy and yet not too sickl. Very happy with toy. would definately recommend both dolls.

Little Hetty

The kids loved this toy great fun kept them quite and they felt like they helped clean up.

Ladybird Sequinned Party Dress

beautiful pretty dress, would make any young girl feel like a princess, excellent value for money

FurReal Biscuit My Best Friend

great fun for all the family, just like the real thing, but less trouble

Monopoly Disney Pixar Edition

It's a familiar format, if your family like original Monopoly. The board is clear and the game plays the same way.

Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera - Blue

Doesnt bother me or my son but camera quality isnt great - but adequate enough I guess. If you dont want your child getting additced to games consoles then maybe give it a miss - this is like a simple version dues to the games on it.

Dora Toddler Bed

This adorable little bed allows my 2 year old be as independent as she likes to be. It's exactly the right size for her, and the additional pull-out drawers are really handy.

Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera - Blue

kept my son entertained, as he likes making videos and taking pictures

Cranium Balloon Lagoon

The word section is a bit flimsey and is easily damaged. It would also be nice to have some spare letters are there are likely to get lost.

Playmobil - Ambulance 4421

My children absolutely loved the flashing lights. They played with it continuously for several days together along with the Rescue Helicopter and the camper van. I liked the fact that it doesn't make an annoying nee naaw noise and the children have to use their imaginations and add that if they want to. My children are aged 9yrs 6 mnths, 6 years and 2 yrs 8 mths all played with it, particularly the 2 year old.

I-Teddy

My young son loves the cuddley teddy and adores watching the videos as he likes to copy his older siblings with the latest technology. This product is fabulous for children of all ages, mine range from 2 - 13 and they all have a go on it.

Armour Set

My child (5) has lots of fun with this, both indoors and out. He likes to take the sword out on walks, bashing bushes/weeds on the way.

Smoby JCB Tractor Digger Trailer

very sturdy looks just like the real thing and its easy to use, my son is only 2 and can operate it , trailer can be removed and is very spacious and can hold plenty of toys etc

Star Wars Clone Wars Millennium Falcon

Huge, heavy, cheap plastic. Not like they used to be!

Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera - Pink

My daughter loves her camera. She likes playing the games and editing the pictures after there taken to make them look even more silly! For a five year old it's great because they can really use it to it's full potential.

FurReal Biscuit My Best Friend

Good fun. Very life like.

Crayola - Illumination Station

The illumination station comes with a variety of backgrounds to trace and numerous slides to project images, therefore there are many combinations to make different drawings meaning this is not a toy with which children will get easily bored.If your child likes drawing they will come back to this time after time

WobBally

fun game which needs good hand eye co-ordination. Harder than it looks on the television so the game takes longer to play. Like the idea that there are different game styles to play.

Scalextric Digital Super GT

fragile build quality means lots of damage to things like spoilers and mirrors after even minor collisions

Ben 10 Alien Laboratory

My son, like many children, had lots of christmas presents. This is the only present he continues to play with more than anything else. Even after disolving the alien rocks, he is still able to imagine doing experimnents in the laboratory and bringing in his other Ben 10 toys into the play. He also plays with it like a boy's version of a dolls house, so he gets a variety of play from it. Overall it's a really good toy.

Sylvanian Families - Water Mill Bakery

As with all Sylvanian family products it helps if your child is tidy. There are what seems like hundreds of small pieces and it is very easy for them to get lost a few at a time.

BABY Born Ethnic Doll with Magic Eyes

don't like the idea of squeezing the dolls arm, cos she got baby Annabel also for Christmas Baby Born didn't match up.

i-Fairy

Was a good idea nice and girly its not too easy getting toys like this for girls.

Ben 10 - 15cm DNA Alien Heroes - Wildmutt

did'nt like the slim

Dora the Explorer Keyboard

my little girl loves this keyboard! & my 9 yr old likes 2 av a go!!

Mamas & Papas 3 Wheel Double Decker Tandem

The clasp to collapse the pushchair isn't as secure as I'd like it to be and comes apart too easily even with the safety catch. The handle is very high and not adjustable.

FurReal Biscuit My Best Friend

my little girl is terrified of real dogs but BISCUIT is so life like and friendly, that she is building her confidence and has made a best friend.Everywhere we go, she tells everyone about biscuit and when we have visitors, she takes them to her 'dog' before they can even take their coats off!! Great entertainment value for all the family, regardless of age.

Baby Born with Magic Potty - Girl

my daughter likes it - have not actually tried the food yet or making the baby cry etc. she plays with it alot and likes to take her out everywhere

I Love Ponies Apple Tree Stables

Lovely small detailing like the stickers with the ponies names on and the ponies are lovely. My daughter is obsessed with ponies and the Saddle club so she plays non stop with this.

Silver Cross Ranger Pram

Good, sturdy pram, looks like it will survive some rough handling. Able to fold down, good for space saving and taking in the car boot.

Meccano Motorised Box

Enjoyable. designs interesting. free building possible. our boys liked it

FurReal Biscuit My Best Friend

my daughter adores the pup,it really is like a real life pup,except with the mess!!entertainment value is great,tricks and many other things the pup does is real good fun for the children,would reccomend this pup to any little girl who wishes she had the "real thing".

Baby Born Doll with Magic Eyes

Not a hugely bad point, but my little girl has never had the need for a dummy but likes to put Bay Born's dummy in her mouth! I haven't actually used any of the food yet and don't overly relish the thought of cleaning out the doll, but this is possibly a personal remark rather than an actual bad point about the product.

Silver Cross Ranger Pram

Good value dolls pram, though My 2 1/2 year old girl was delighted & pram seems like it will last a bit longer than some others we have looked at.

Wilton Bradley Kids Garden Triple Swing

was very disappointed that the swing seats was orange and not yellow like the picture!!!! dont think red top blue sides and orange seats really looks nice. plus the seats have faded and cracked. the glider swing goes too high and is easy for the child to go too high with very little effort.

Wilton Bradley Kids Garden Triple Swing

my son likes it a great deal

Little Tikes Shop 'n' Learn Market

Like a real checkout! It has e few different activities for a range of ages.

High School Musical Got the Moves Dance Mat

If they like High school Musical then kids will love this, My 5 yr old and 2 yr old love it. Easy to fold up and put away when finished.

My Little Mosaic Travel System

its exactly like the real pushchair that us mums use, so perfect for little girls who like playing mummy!! It is also quite lightweight unlike some dolls pushchairs!

I-Teddy

More recommendations than bad points but, Bigger screen possible attachments to fit it onto places like rear of car headrest pushchair tray. Updates of cartoons available on the web! Bad Point Battery Eater

Ben 10 Light Clock

The setting mechanism is not good, it is difficult to know if it is set or not and the alarm is far too sensitive i.e. will go off within what seems like half an hour of the set time. overall you would not rely on this product as an alarm clock the only good features are that it is ben 10

Bella Dancerella - High School Musical

headrphones were good, actually stayed on her head. came with good accessories. Daughter age 6 really likes it.

Meccano - 20 Model Set

Kids loved motorised products. Top quality machining - just like when I was a kid.

Baby Born Magic Eyes Boy

its bathable , not too heavy like some other dolls my daughter loves it

I-Teddy

value, son loves it, likes to listen to music on it alot.

Star Wars Clone Wars - Ultimate Lightsaber - Build your own Lightsaber

This is so versatile. There are so many different designs to construct that it would be impossible to get bored! Once you make a great design you can use if like a real light saber for as long as you want as the plastic is sturdy enough for a duel! My son loved this and quite honestly we were pleasantly surprised at the entertainment and educational value it provided. My initial instinct was that it was overpriced for what was described on the box but once opened it became worth every penny.

FurReal Biscuit My Best Friend

My children adored this present - my life-like and hours of fun.

Donkey

Liked the high quality

JCB Leaf Blower

Looks like the real thing

Tech Deck Street Spots - Brooklyn Banks

My son likes the fact that it's based on an actual skateboarding place.

Playmobil - Hospital 4404

Kids move all the furniture and dont keep it exactly like the box (which I like it to be)!!!!

FurReal Biscuit My Best Friend

obviously you have to make an effort with your immagination not to listen the electronic noises it makes before doing an action! but i suppose a child doesn't pay attention to that. It makes me feel sorry for not getting a real one, seeing the excitement of my girls for a machine shaped like a dog!

Pink V.Smile (Including Dora The Explorer)

Have found that the picture on both televisions that we have tried is not very good. Not very many choices of things to do on each game. Would like it to be a bit more educational and interesting - gets a bit boring even for the child.

Pink V.Smile (Including Dora The Explorer)

This is a good way to teach a child to use a basic computer type game. Sturdy product. Like the controls. My grandchild liked some of the games, but uninterested in probably half of them.

Dirt Diggers Assortment - 2 in 1 Dump Truck

Brilliant product, my 2 year old loves it. Like how the bucket at the back comes off and can be used to build sandcastles - clever!

Chad Valley Tiger Bouncy Castle

Don't know of any presently. The colours are pleasing to children and they love the design, its like Tigger in Winnie the Pooh!

Baby Annabell

good actions, quality item, fully functional just like a real baby (but without the nappies) My 2 half year old loves the burping action and likes to 'shush' her to sleep

Animation Station

Relatively cheap construction, doesn't feel like it would last long if younger children used it unsupervised.

Picoo Z Remote Control Helicopter

I got this for my husband at Christmas, (he likes to play with 'boys toys'). It was worth every penny. Thoroughly recommend it to anyone who's just a kid at heart, male or female, (I had a go myself and it's great fun).

Fisher Price Lazy Town Stylin' Stephanie Set

The wig was hopeless. It was impossible to fit onto a child's head and it didn't look anything like stephanie, even when I spent ages putting it on my child's head.

Da Vinci's Secret Puzzle

nothing wrong with this product. a must if u like the da vinci code.

Scrabble Scramble

Fun, portable and you can have quicker games of scrabble, which sometimes can be very entertaining. Love it. Really like the concept using the dice. Easy and intelligent product.

Smoby Black And Decker Workbench

The smoby black and deck is brilliant it keeps my little one of 3yrs and his older brother 7yrs entertained for hours. They want to be like there dad...mr fix itor should i say bob the builder !!!

Chad Valley Pop Up Activity Centre

I found the product to be of poor quality and unstable when being used. My son didn't like it either. In 3 words "it was rubbish".

Indiana Jones Replica Hat

Proper adult sizing Looks just like the 'real thing' Comfortable Hours of fun

Sally Best Friend

Daughter really loves the doll very life like

Smoby Supermarket Checkout

would of liked the plastic to a bit stronger

Scene It Doctor Who

you also need to like board games. My 5 year old can concentrate for long enough to complete the board game which does not take many rolls of the dice to complete but he cannot answer the questions. My 14 year old can answer the questions but is playing to humor my 5 year old because there is nothing challenging about the board game

Scene It Doctor Who

Great if you like Dr who

Megabloks Probuilder Rally Tin

It doesn't look like its made of lego material & can be taken apart for hours of imaginative play, as it 'breaks down, needs repair & servicing' etc.

Lifestyle Custom Kitchen

Would have liked a few more things to have come with it, like play food. I am having trouble buying play food that the kids can cook in their frying pan etc

Lifestyle Custom Kitchen

I liked that it had a microwave, big fridge + oven all with sounds effects including the hob. Is very realistic. Also has a phone which all young children love.

Disney Princess Magic Mirror Game

A good game for my 5 year old. She particulary likes the tiara thats included.

In the Night Garden Go Glow Time

My daughter likes putting Daisey to bed.

Tesco Super Market

till doesn't have a electronic display screen and doesn't add up etc. Weighing scales don't actually work just for show didn't like having to put stickers on everything

Barbie Mariposa Willa Doll

Butterfly moves up and down the arm using magnets. Chunky plastic wings, not easy to break like other fairy's.

Transformers Animated Battle Pack with DVD

my son has like the dvd

Meccano Build & Play - Fire Truck

It is recommended for 4 years + My son is 4 and a half and it is too fiddly for him to manage. To many pieces to put together & because it is flexible it can be tricky to hold.. It took my husband what seemed like all afternoon christmas day to put together the first design. My son enjoyed playing with them but would leave my husband to transform the fire truck into the next design - not interested in helping - took a long time for an adult. Was hoping this would be something he could assemble by himself after a few goes.

Brum Radio Controlled Car

well priced, looks like the original, fun and easy to use

Fisher-Price Stride To Ride Lion

a little more things to do on it would be good like pushing buttons and stuff.

Pistol Petes Quick Draw

good fun, gets more challenging as you progress thru the stages. Enjoyed by a 5 year-old boy (and the rest of the family) this christmas - got a "gun " thing like most boys, at least with this there is technique involved.

Animal Hospital Ice Rescue Station

My 7 year old daughter loved this because she can open it when she wants to play and then close it all afterwards for storing. It is a clever toy, stimulating her imagination, etc. She liked the polar bear 'slide' a lot. Lovely details and a lot more inexpensive than a doll's house. I'd imagined boys would enjoy this too.

Lego General Grevous - AT-ST

The Grandchildren liked it, and that is the most important thing.

Little Princess Castle

Lots of furniture to play with. Really like the way it closes up and contains all the small parts.

Tesco Pack Away Talking Kitchen

the ease of assembly - the looks - the likeness to real cookers - the noises - it is great

MagNext iCoaster

We haven't worked out yet how to connect the iPod to it though as we were expecting a USB socket but instead the iPod jack looks like a headphone socket. Probably just a question of getting the right cable, but not insurmountable. Also, the trampoline piece has a thin membrane that was poked through by a younger sibling within hours and I'm not sure we can get a replacement.

Disney Pixar Cars - Walking Talking McQueen

My son gets frustrated that the car does'nt always carry out the 'move' he wants!! maybe his a little young for it as the car can do so many different moves it will take a little longer for him to work out combinations- He insists on 'pushing' it around the floor like a normal toy car.

Fisher Price Sing 'N' Go Choo Choo

The annoying tunes (but I don't like noisy toys!)

Tri-Bot

Loved the voice.and the pop up light on the head. Like the general movements.Like the guard function.

Fisher-Price Stride To Ride Lion

Very bright and colourful and I like the way itbcan be sat on or pushed along.

Speed Racers Fuji Trackset

It was quite hard to dismantle, felt like it would break if you pulled too hard to take some bits of the track apart. Consequently we had to leave some of it together and now it doesn't go back in the box! As its a double track shame it only comes with one car!

Care Bears Share a Story

Could do some educational books like phonics, letters and numbers etc....

Whiz Kid Learning System

My daughter loves this toy and although it isn't out all the time, it makes an appearance at least once a day and her friends love it too. It is very educational and I really like the fact you can track your childs progress when it is linked up to the computer. I love the fact you can buy different character packs for this learning system... my daughter is autistic but loves the fact that she can play Thomas the Tank Engine on there.

Teksta Playful Pup

Its a very well built toy, has realistic actions and has kept my son entertained since he got him. He plays with him like a real dog, which is good for me as it's stopped him asking for the real thing!!
