Educational Toys – Schleich Smurfs

The last thing we would have imagined as en educational toy would be one of the Schleich Smurfs – well the story goes like this.

Educational Toys – Finger Puppets

We found Finger Puppets when we were out looking for better quality soft toys – almost stumbled across by accident – after a few phone calls – within 24 hours – we were sitting beside the UK’s biggest fan of finger puppets as educational toys.

It wasn’t just finger puppets but also the finger puppet story sets that really caught our eye. These story sets provide a quality card with a classic children’s story – like goldilocks and the three bears – along with the finger puppets to go with them. Children just love the play acting that can be done with finger puppets like these.

Price Reductions & Favourites

Two things this month

Firstly we have made significant price reductions to all the items we stock from Gibsons – that is all their family games – all their children’s puzzles – and all their quality jigsaw puzzles

Secondly we have put together our own favourites page

All we have here is to take a representative sample of Orchard Toys children’s games and some of the Schleich models – all of them are ones that make us smile!

For the Schleich models we have taken three each of – African Wild Animal, here a group of elephants – Dinosaurs – Replica Dinosaurs – Knights on horseback.

Brilliant New Orchard Toys

This autumn we have seven new educational products from Orchard Toys – our favourite is the Little Diplodocus double sided dinosaur puzzle.

Each year Orchard widen their range by introducing new products

This year we have two new games for the under 5 year olds – Head Shoulders Knees & Toes – brilliant – “and eyes and ears and mouth and nose!” and a fun counting and colours game – Jack & Jill

We also have five new jigsaw puzzles for the under 5 year olds – in the talkabout floor puzzle range we have The Animal Game – with animals running around an athletics field – how to enthuse an Olympic 3 year old!

The we have a whole new range of double sided puzzles for age 3 plus – these are just superb – have a look at them

Little Bus
Little Tractor
Little Diplodocus
Little Triceratops

We do recommend the whole range of Orchard Toys because they build in fun and quality to every product – and because we get such strong feedback both from individuals and schools.
