Puzzling pets

Advantages: good puzzles
Disadvantages: None

Orchard toys make many good toys and puzzles we have several of them at work. One of the toys we have is the box of 6, 2 piece puzzles of pets. These puzzles are suitable for children aged 18 months and over. I use them with older special needs pupils. Although the pictures of the pets are cute and big eyed they are not over babyish. Included in this set of 6 puzzles is a budgie, a dog, a cat, a goldfish, a hamster and rabbit all animals that children ...
...These puzzles are made of a thick durable recycled board. The surface is a wipe clean one. These individual 2 piece puzzles are shaped around the outline of the pictured animal no straight edges. Each one cut in approximate half. The way you fit the two pieces of each animal together is by the cojoining male and female parts. Each of these puzzles is approx 14cm x 14cm each. They do fit together fairly easily. These puzzles are good for baby practicing ...

Review of Orchard Toys Pets Puzzle

Bakugan Battle Pack

Advantages: Will keep kids amused for hours - good value for money
Disadvantages: Game quite complicated for younger children

I thought I was quite ‘up’ with the latest crazes in respect of children’s toys and games. That was until a few months ago (yes – pre july!) when my 6 year old son came home from school and asked if he could have a Bakugan set for Christmas! I was completely lost by this so did a bit of research into what Bakugan was. I needn’t have bothered as nowadays I am subjected to watching the Childrens TV series on Cartoon Network on a daily basis and now ...
...is Bakugan?~ Bakugan is one of the latest crazes marketed mainly towards young boys of around 5-8 in my opinion. The programme is a Japanese action animated series. A Bakugan is a spheric action figure warrior, around the same size as a bouncy ball. When activated by their leader, the spheric balls open up to unleash dragon style characters to defeat evil and protect their core. Sound complicated? It is! My 6 year old understands far better than ...
