Croquet is an all time favourite for the summer and this wooden set is just right for children. With five colourful animal hoops, four balls and a couple of mallets they will be set up to start playing. Then it's up to you whether you divulge the rules of the game!

This is backgammon for kids at its best. No ordinary, boring, black and white pieces here – the game is played using sheep against wolves! Whoever gets their animals first through the forest is the winner, but mind you don’t land in the pond. This is a fun game for two players and is packed into a fun take-anywhere tin (with instructions).

Here are two activities in one. First mould and paint your own cars, then prepare the gain and penalty road signs and you will soon have created your very own car adventure game to be enjoyed by two to six players. The kit contains car moulds, 6 sets of plastic wheels and axles, easy-to-dry plaster, road signs and traffic cones, a gameboard, stickers, paint, paintbrushes and dice, along with full instructions.
