Articles about the Toys & Games

i found the rubik's cube a little slimy i had to wash my hands after i play with it plus the cubes are hard to move you got to line them im or it won't move and its only goes one way it can go the other way but its much stiffer the packages was a bit crp coz it came in a little plastic bag im not sure mabe it was just my one.

My son really like this game and i enjoy playing it with him. He is 9 years old but i guess you could play this with a younger child if you wanted.

What is particularly good is the portability of this game - it can be played virtually anywhere. This makes it particularly good for journeys.

My little boy has had these since he was one and were now on our second set.He loves colouring and drawing so these are perfect.When they came i thought they would be longer but in fact they are just the right size for little hands.And he loves it even more now he can tell me the colours of them.

Friday morning, both helicopters arrived, very well packed. Instructions very clear and well, everything looked really easy. Batteries in, and great both helicopter's already had a little charge in them, so lets get it flying.
Whatever we did the copter would not lift off, just imedediatly leaning over to the left and the rotors hitting the floor. Very frustrated and dissapointed.
Tried the 2nd copter, exactly the same problem, would not lift, just tilting over to the left and rotors hitting the floor.
Just about ready to pack them back up and return (as well as giving major neg feedback!!!!) when we noticed that both copter's main rotor shaft were mounted so they leaned over to the left. After a little twisting and light forcing, we decided to try again.
Fantastic, both copters lifted straight up, with minimal spinning. A little bit of trim soon sorted this. The whole weekend has been spent between 20 mins charges and then 10 mins flights. No major probs with damage, so far, although any heavy landing or bumps do mean re-trimming is required, but this is dead easy and part of the fun. Some damage to the polystyrene has not had any significant impact of flight ability yet. No damage to rear rotor yet - don't know what others have done to break this so easily (see others feedback!!!).
My 7 year old daughter, 10 year old son, me a ham fisted 42 year old and even my 36 year old wife, have all mastered the controls and can't put them down. Biggest problem is now trying to share 2 copters with 4 would be pilots. Need to order 2 more me thinks!!!
Great toy, but initial perseverence needed, but well worth while - one of the best toy's ever.

I donned my Mankini and strode onto the golden sands of South Shields(!!) Not too many Germans about, but it still got me a lot of attention - teenage girls couldn't stop giggling and quite a few shouted out 'Borat!' However, I wasn't bothered - I was sponsored to wear it and raised money for a good cause.

It's now been consigned to the 'Garments worn once, but never again' bin: but that's more a reflection of my innate shyness than any statement on the quality of this garment. Wearing it was a lot of fun, but you've got to have a lot of balls (it helps!) and/or a thick hide to do so, otherwise you could feel REALLY self conscious. I can see groups of lads on holiday all wearing one and having a good laugh with it - there's always safety in numbers!

As I only wore it once I can't really comment on the durability, but it supported me OK (and there's a lot to support - I wish!!), even though I get the feeling it may be prone to 'saggage'. Of course, it looks absolutely ridiculous - but that's the whole point.

Overall, recommended for those with a larger than life sense of humour.

Before buying this monitor I did a fair bit of research to check that the high price was justified. After using the BT 150 for a few days both me and the wife (and newborn baby!) are impressed & give it 5 stars. It's well built, looks decent, has great sound quality and has a bunch of features not found on other models (e.g. Aux input for MP3 players).

The talk-back feature is especially useful if my wife is doing the feeding upstairs and I want to ask her whether she'd like a cup of tea from the living room.

Audio doesn't seem to get any interference from the wifi point, nor from the wireless DECT phone.. and I don't think it's producing interference either.

The nightlight is a little weak; I'd prefer it to be a bit brighter, but that's only a small criticism. We didn't go for the a model including a pressure-sensitive mat due to reports of false alarms and forgetting to turn it off before picking up the baby :-o

Both units can be battery powered.

Overall it's a well designed bit of kit which should suit everyone who's willing to spend that little bit extra.

This bumper colouring book is guaranteed to keep you happy for hours on end. With 160 pages of animal, people, transport and scenery images, there's so much to colour in you won't know where to begin.

For ages 3 years and over.

I saw this item on Amazon and instantly jumped up with joy.
I've just ordered them and I cannot wait till I get them. I'm a huge fan of top trumps games as they are enjoyable and can be played with the whole family. I especially love motor top trumps.
This item would be a must have for all top gear fanatics like myself.

I Bought this as a Christmas present for my neice. I knew she liked Dora so that was a plus already. When she unwrapped it she screamed her head off because she had wanted it for ages but her parents couldn't afford it. Anyway she was 3 years old and was starting school the next year. Now she is 5 and everytime I see her she speaks to me in Spanish. She says 'Ola' and 'Gracias' She can even say thankyou and Your Welcome. I Reccomend this to all the little kids out there that are aged 3 - 7 years old. The other review about the screen being black and white.. well I ont think it matters. You can still see it and the keyboard is fine because the school my neice ad daughter go to they teach the kids Capital and small letters so anyone could understand it. She takes it everywhere with her so BUY ONE NOW FOR YOUR LITTLE CHEEKY CHIMPS.. They Will Love You Forever If You Do..

My son is 5 and although he finds the jigsaw challenging he loves every second he spends doing it plus it is one of his favourite things in the world at the moment. I think this item is well worth the money.
