It is a great box to start your child's lego passion going.... Read review

Advantages: easy to assemble/dismantle. Hardwearing
Disadvantages: only seen them in blue.

...I bought a pack of these mats in summer 2005. I initially used them to protect my son from my hard floors when he fell. He was just learning to sit up and although I put cushions around him I couldn't guarantee where he would fall. These gave me peace of mind. The pack has 4 squares of interlocking foam. They are easy to put together and easy enough to take apart as well. They have a multitude of uses and so far I have used them to put under a paddling pool to stop it from getting pierced.

The safety sand is available from ELC (or Index or Argos)for approx £2.30 (frog sandpit takes 5 bags to fill it). This sandpit although... Read review
