The triangular shapes helps children to hold them in a correct grip. Some of my disabled pupils find these easier to hold than standard pencils. The surface of the crayon is ...

Advantages: Good idea and lovely bracelets
Disadvantages: too difficult for five year olds

...birthday. It is made by Crayola who generally produce good quality art kits for small children and this seemed to be another good idea from them! The kit contains everything that you need to make six different bracelets. In order to make these there is cotton, ribbons, assorted colours of plastic beads and some pink foam flowers. In fact when you open up the box it really does look like an Aladdin's Cave and my daughter's eyes really lit up when ...
...try first, so I think Crayola missed a trick here. As it was I just asked my daughter which one she liked the sound of and unsurprisingly she opted for the foam flower bracelet - well the foam flowers were pink!

TZZZZANG!!!! Oidz are a relatively new toy on the market now. And I think they are fab!!! They are just two highly magnetic pellet-things, that when thrown in the air make the best noise.

...written in 1949, Bertie does appear in other books too helping his train friends. Bertie is about 14cm long. When Bertie is submerged in water squeeze him to get all the air out Bertie will fill up with water. This water squirter does give a reasonable squirt of water, but I have used others which are better for squirting water.
