Environmentally friendly bamboo toys at kidEstore

Bamboo is the worlds fastest replenishable natural resource and so it's use in manufacture, if properly managed, has less impact on the environment than either hardwood or softwood. A bamboo plant cut down to the ground will completely regrow in three years.

The new range of bamboo toys at kidestore have been developed to have a lower impact on the planet than other wooden toys (which are arguable more environmentally friendly than plastics).

The toys are simple, last between five and ten minutes and are addictive. This makes them perfect for smaller children to play.

The bamboo range incldues Pandabo, Pandabo, Rapido, Cagola, Castella, Fiesta and Bialo all of which are available at kidEstore.co.uk.

What in the world is Bilibo

Bilibo has just arrived at kidEstore.co.uk and we are not sure what it is.

The kids who have tried Bilibo think it is a seat, a roundabout, a shell, a stepping stone, furniture, a box, a helmet (knight/policeman/fireman/soldier/stormtrooper) or an island.

The key is that it is a beautiful item with many uses, and it is your childs imagination that brings Bilibo to life. All we know is that it is cute and we want some.

Bilibo is also great as it encourages pysical activity with all that moving, jumping, marching and hopping. A great way to help young children get exercise.

Bilibo is perfect for nursery and preschool use to as the units are stackable so they pack neatly away.

Bilibo is on sale at kidEstore.co.uk.

Didicars hit the UK at kidEstore.co.uk

Perfect for indoor exercise during the winter months or outdoor fun anytime the Didicar has arrived in the UK.

Without a battery or a pedal in sight the Didicar is driven by waggling the steering wheel from side to side. The clever design uses inertia, gravity, centrifugal force and other science-type-stuff to turn the waggling into forward motion.

We don't really understand how it works but the fact that each Didicar supports up to 100KG means we have tested the car ourselves and they are great fun!

In a nice touch you can now also buy Didicar stickers so you can personalise your ride!

Didicars are available from kidEstore.co.uk in Red, Blue, Purple or Yellow.
