We have the eeBoo Poet & Astronomer Paper Dolls, the eeBoo Explorer & Naturalist Paper Dolls and the eeBoo Musician & Artist Paper Dolls.

New Berg Moov Starter 3in1 Kit at kidEstore.co.uk

The Berg Moov has been a great success and Berg Toys have now decided to expand the range into a whole family of models.

Like all families it has a baby – the Berg Moov Starter 3in1 Kit. This is a great, low priced introduction to the Berg Moov Range.

The kit comes with over 125 pieces, including two pneumatic wheels. Whilst you can make as many models as you like with the kit it comes with  instructions for 3 – the rest is left to your imagination.

For those who haven’t already seen the Berg Moov concept it is basically a giant construction set from which you build full size ride-on toys and similar models. The extremely clever rubber ring and slotted beam design joints mean no fiddly nuts and bolts, screwdrivers or spanners. Just line up your pieces and roll a ring or two over the struts where they lock into pre-made grooves.

Great fun to build, even more fun to ride – you can buy the Berg Moov Starter 3in1 kit at kidEstore.co.uk.

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.

With Sticky Mosaics Fairy Tales, Sticky Mosaics Fantastic Fish, Sticky Mosaics Jungle Adventure, Sticky Mosaics Sweet Dreams, Sticky Mosaics Unicorns and Ponies and Sticky Mosaics Wild Safari there is a themed set of Sticky Mosaics for everyone.
