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.

Technokits from Interplay Arrive

Our new Wooden Technokits from Interplay have arrived. Each of our three sets are slotted timber construction kits so no messy glue required. The kits come with easy to follow instructions. Slot the wooden pieces together to create the base and then add the extra components like electric motors and wheels.

The kits are great fun but also teach children about mechanical principles and the basics of electronics.

The Technokits Land Yacht is a three wheeled wooden trike with a sail for propulsion

The Technokits Air Trike is a again a three wheeled wooden model but with an electric fan for propulsion.

The Techokit Racers are two three wheeled wooden cars with electric motors - great for friends or siblings to race.

Gear Construction Sets For Younger Children

We love gear construction sets at kidestore.co.uk, and whilst they are great for older kids to learn about gears and mechanics they are equally suitable for younger children who just want a colourful, exciting moving building set.

We love the 90 piece Georello Mobile by Quercetti which allows children to build gears and wheels up into vehicles which can then be pulled along. The constructions are bright and colourful and full of movement - just the thing to keep young minds engaged.

K'Nex Trends 1/24th Scale Street Mods Cars

K'Nex Trends is a relatively new range from K'Nex that incorporates moulded parts to create a more realistic looking models. Previous models in the K'Nex Trends range were the K'Nex Streetmods GT Tuner Spec A and K'Nex Streetmods GT Tuner Spec B.

All K'Nex kits are great for improving concentration and 'goal oriented activity' but the K'Nex Starburst Spinner kit in particular is great due to it's size - there is a good afternoons building here even if mum helps out!

We are really pleased to be included in one of the premier safe shopping directories in the UK.

Shopsafe (http://www.shopsafe.co.uk/) have evaluated our site and judge we are a high quality, secure shopping site and have therefore included us in their directory.

You can see our entry here http://www.shopsafe.co.uk/toyeducational.htm in the educational toy section.

We know that Shopsafe are highly selective and only a minority of sites get into their directory. We hope this is a reflection of the quality of our range.

Safe shopping is a real concern on the internet and we hope this is a vindication of our security strategy. We never hold your credit card details on the kidEstore.co.uk systems. Instead we allow a highly secure thrid party, Protx, and Streamline (the credit card processing arm of the Royal Bank of Scotland group) process our cards. Once they tell us they have verified your details we can start processing your order, when your order is ready for despatch we will finally take the money owing from your credit card. At no point do we even see your credit card number so you can rest assured that we cannot compromise your security.

Autmoblox - the biggest little wooden car in the world

The Automoblox wooden car is one of our favourite learning toys as it has so many of the right attributes for a high quality learning toy.

Firstly it looks great. For any toy to have an effect on a child the child has to want to play with it! We know Automoblox are attractive because our customers tell us they are - whether they were bought for a grandson or an executive desk toy!

Secondly they have to have lasting appeal, we want that learning to keep on happening after all! Automoblox have so many play possibilities - as a car, as a play figure set and as a car design toy. Don't forget all of the cars are compatible to produce even more construction possibilities.

Lastly a good educational toy must obviously provide educational benefits. Automoblox have been designed from the ground up to provide lots of educational stimulation!
