Hopscotch from Alex

Hopscotch is a classic game for children and has been played in streets and playgrounds for hundreds of years. But I bet you didn't know it originated in Britain during the early Roman Empire and was devised as a method for training soldiers!


Hopscotch from Alex is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and is a great way to get children to do some exercise without even knowing it!

The Hopscotch game is priced £19.95 from the kidEstore.co.uk educational toy store.


You can find more information on the origins of Hopscotch in Wikipedia.

New Chemistry Set and Crystal Growing Kit

As a child there was nothing I liked more than mixing up a test tube of cobalt chloride and then boiling it dry over a methylated spirit burner. That is why I am pleased we have managed to find a great new Chemistry Lab set to add to the Science range at kidEstore.co.uk. The set has everything needed for over 100 experiments.



In the same vein we also have the National Geographic Crystal Growing kit. The kit contains everything you need to grow 12 kinds of crystal and a National Geographic booklet to explain the formation of crystals during the formation of the Earth millions of years ago.

Explore the mineral world with the National Geographic Rock Tumbler

New from the National Geographic toy range at kidEstore.co.uk is the new Rock Tumbler.



The tumbler has a great, hard edged technical design with a window so you can observe the rocks during polishing. Once you have created your semi-precious stones there is even a craft kit for you to make jewellery and gifts.



We also stock the genuine National Geographic Rock Tumbler Refill Kit to keep you going!



Both of these items can be found in the Science toy section.
