A PEG BOARD WHERE THE EVEN BEADS PEG IT!

Advantages: Bright and colourful; a fun way to learn to count
Disadvantages: Poor design; Falls over easily; Pegs fall out

...As any parent will know, one of the joys of having young children is to see their little faces light up on Christmas morning when they first set eyes on all those brightly wrapped presents, and then proceed to rip them open in anticipation - only to end up playing with the box by the end of the day. Amongst the Santa Sack of delights awaiting my son this Christmas Day morning was an Early Learning Centre Counting Peg Board which I had bought him as a little stocking filler. When I first spotted this in my local Early Learning Centre, it appealed to me straight away. The picture on the front of the box showed a sturdy wooden counting toy which looked well designed, was bright and colourful and would stand the test of time. Alas, it was not to be. The Aim of the Game The Counting Peg Board is not a game...

Cute dollies

Advantages: Craft activity
Disadvantages: Could be ideas for more dolls

...Clothes Peg Cuties Another of the makes Little Miss received and which she was keen to try out. I had never seen this type of product before and was impressed with the packaging and the general design of the book and craft kit. The kit comes in the form of a spiral bound book, which is good in itself because it means that once the page is opened, it stays open at that page- a bonus for budding clothes peg doll makers! Attached to the side of the book is a zip up sturdy plastic wallet with all the bits and pieces necessary to make three dollies inside. These contents are: 3 wooden clothes pegs with faces already drawn on them; 3 flowers; 20 sequins in a range of colours, multi coloured wool; some pretend hair; glue in a very small squeezable tube with a screw on/off lid. So, we're ready to make. The book does suggest that...

The Art (Of Forgetting A Clothes Peg)

Advantages: Centrally placed with reasonable room rates. Nice staff. Well furnished
Disadvantages: Area never totally quiet - get a room at the back. No immediately obvious disabled facilities

...heating than aircon! The bathroom contained good and bad news. Yes, it was nicely decorated with expensive fittings, including a captive hairdryer, full-sized bath and shower. Toiletries were of a high quality too. Unfortunately, whoever screwed the shower fitments to the wall must have been vertically-challenged since neither of us could stoop low enough to get our hair wet. Having already vented our collective spleens on the lack of clothes peg, the only other oddity was the fact that being quite long-legged I had to sit sideways when, ahem, enthroned as my knees wouldn't fit between the toilet seat and the tiled riser that stuck out from the wall. A little more attention to ergonomics wouldn't have gone amiss guys - after all you invented the bloody word. The Art Hotel only really has two tariffs; a room rate with or without breakfast...

Review of Art Hotel, Athens

Colourful Designs

Advantages: Broadens a child's imagination
Disadvantages: Be careful they don't get lost

...***Background*** I'm not sure when I bought this simple toy for my girls but I do know it was many years ago. I've searched on many websites and it seems that the only person that makes them nowadays is a company called Quercetti. They have many different sets that you can buy but the best deal seems to be the big pack of beads and the separate boards. We came across these the other day whilst sorting out some boxes in the loft and thought they would be an ideal treat for my son, as he loves making pictures and it gives his imagination something different to work with, rather than crayons or paints. ***What Are They?*** Basically they are quite simply a board with lots of holes in and a whole bunch of coloured pegs to put in it. The colours seem to be pretty universal - red, yellow, blue and green. The boards that you get...
