‘Block & Blockele is a construction toy that offers a novel way of combining abstract three-dimensional elements with surface graphics that transform each element into a unique character or element’

Three-dimensional plastic building bricks with graphics, the Block & Blockele toy looks like hours and hours of fun for any kid (or the kid at heart).

The XO Laptop, despite all the criticism, is for a noble cause and is a wonderful product. I bought it last year and I’ve had hours of great fun on it – it’s got great battery life, a superb screen that works great outdoors and it’s (almost as) hard as nuts. I can’t wait for our kid to grow up and bang away on it!

‘It is one thing to say that something should be done, but quite a different matter to do it’

The PlasmaCar needs no batteries, just the weight of the driver
The PlasmaCar looks like a fantastic toy for the kids and even adults. No need for batteries or any kind of fuel – all it takes is a willing (but not too heavy) driver, some centrifugal force, gravity and friction to get going. I’m going to run down to the nearest Toys R Us soon and get one for myself!

What a cute looking Land Rover! This would make a great gift for kids and in some ways, can be rather educational too. The UNICEF store also has a UNICEF Supply Truck model!
