MAGIC TRACER

Originally known as a Camera Lucida, this scientific novelty was invented in Norfolk in 1807. The image to be copied is placed on the left-hand side of the screen, and the tinted plastic projects a mirror image of it on to the paper on the right. This is then traced to create an accurate copy. Great for saving time on school projects. Every child should have one of these.

BUTT HEAD

Butt Head is a hilarious game, equally effective indoors or out, entertaining for all ages. The brightly coloured swimming-type hat has velcro-like strips attached which the special light-weight balls will adhere to. Each set consists of two hats and three balls along with a book of suggestions.

It's also ideal when you're rummaging about in the attic. There are three  modes: bright, dim and flashing. Smartly packaged and functional.

AGE 6+

BACKWARDS CLOCK

A robust, large quartz wall clock whose hands and dial go anti-clockwise. Cleverly features the saying "SEILF EMIT". An excellent attention grabber wherever it's displayed. Those who notice it will have to do a double take but it really does tell the time albeit confusingly.

AGE 3+

CHIMALONG

An excellent instrument for even the very young to learn to play. The hardback book opens to reveal a xylophone, and the book folds out to become a music stand with music and lyrics on one side and songsheet on the other (so that one child can play while the other sings). The chimes and music sheets are colour and number coded, with the music sheets showing the actual notes as well, making it easy for children of all abilities to learn the twelve familiar tunes. A good first instrument.

WEATHER HOUSE

The classic curiosity which fascinates children and adults! A detailed and decorative wooden model which accurately predicts the weather. The man comes out if it's going to rain, the lady if it will be fine.

LAY & PLAY DOMINO RACE

A high-tech version of the old-fashioned domino rally. Simply load the coloured plastic domino tiles into the truck, press a button and the truck moves slowly forward, cleverly distributing upright dominoes at correct intervals. The truck can be steered to create curves and bends in the track, and other components are included to make the track more adventurous, such as bridges and a finish bell. There are endless possibilities for different 'tracks' to be made, with the ultimate fun of watching the dominoes fall. Requires 2 x 'AA' batteries.

ACCORDION

A scaled-down easy-to-play Accordion for children. Tough plastic with canvas-type bellows, it is high quality and produces a good sound. Basic instructions are included.

GIANT DUCK

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the bath!
This over-sized giant of a duck (32cm) is the latest to join our range, and has already achieved great popularity verging on cult-status. We're not sure what makes the duck so appealing, but like most things that are amusingly over-sized or under-sized, he (she?) has a peculiar attraction. Suffice to say that when the first sample arrived, we soon had a waiting list of people wanting one of their own. Your normal rubber duck will never be quite the same again.

CHAMELEON STONES GAME

The Chameleon Stones change colour when another is placed on top of them. If the colours match, the player gets to take another turn; if it doesn't match, the player must take all the stones from the stack. The winner is the first player to place all of their pieces. An innovative tactical memory game for the whole family. Suitable for 2-6 players ages 5 and up.
