Manchester United BrainBox Quiz game arrives at kidEstore.co.uk

We love the BrainBox quiz games from Green Board Games and the range has recently been expanded to include the Manchester United BrainBox game.

The ultimate test of a fans knowledge of the team and players there are 55 picture cards with additional facts added and 8 questions on the reverse. Basic game play is to study the cards for 10 seconds and then answer questions. The game can be competitively between two or more players where the object is to win as many cards as possible by answering. For the super fan the game can be played alone where you need to be able to recall the answers to all 8 questions on the reverse of the card in order to ‘win’ the card.

In addition to factual questions (when was Berbatov born?) there are test of observation too (how many colours are on the ball?). The game helps develop memory, observational skills plus the obvious ManU fact fest.

Who is the biggest Manchester United BrainBox in your family?

BrainBox Manchester United is available from the kidEstore.co.uk educational toy store priced £9.95.

New ride on Kiddimoto motorbikes for toddlers at kidEstore.co.uk

At kidEstore we have taken on some great new lines for the summer from Kiddimoto. These ride on bikes for 2-5 years old have great motorbike styling and real pneumatic tyres. The lack of pedals and only two wheels actually helps children learn to balance and move on two wheels without the complication of trying to pedal - this can be added later. Many people believe this is a much better way to learn to ride than using stabilisers on a pedal bike.

The Kiddimoto Scrambler comes in a natural finish with Motocross styling and takes me back to the days of 'Kick Start' on the telly with Dougie Lampkin.

For fans of James Toseland the Kiddimoto Superbike will be just the ticket for your little champ!
