Get into Gears!

Hi all

Gears! Gears! Gears!® is a very popular brand name in our household! Squirt loves playing with the different gears to make lots of different designs, and it’s something she enjoys with her Dad has he loves playing with construction toys! She was bought the Movin’ Monkeysâ„¢ Building Set for her birthday last year. She was a bit young for it at the time, but loved playing with the monkeys and all the different trees - they ended up in the bath on more than one occasion! Now she’s older she lovely building with all the gears and connectors and swinging the monkeys from the springy green vines.

A brand new product to the Gears! Gears! Gears!® range is the new Build & Bloom Flower Garden. This has only been available for a couple of days, but knowing how much squirt loves the range, I thought I’d ask her opinion of the new set!

Here are some of the things Squirt said about Gears! Gears! Gears! Build & Bloom:

“I like the bees and butterflies and flowers.”

“Daddy has to help me put the bricks (base) together.”

“The pink ones are my favourite.”

“I like it when they spin.”

The set of 115 includes flowers, butterflies, bees and ladybirds, along with colourful gears and wiggly flower stems! Not only is the set a lot of fun, it also helps to develop critical thinking skills and encourages creativity.

 

To find out more about the Gears! Gears! Gears!® range, view the products on our website. I particularly like the Gizmos® Building Set with so many pieces and parts it will offer colourfully and dazzling play for hours on end!

These sets will make great Christmas presents that will keep children entertained for hours! Find them in our Christmas Shop here. In case you didn’t already know, all items in the Christmas Shop are buy two get one free!

Until next time…

Enjoy picnics come rain or shine!

We’re well and truly into picnic season now, and I hope you’ve got some fab picnics coming up! Let’s hope the weather is on our side, and we’re not faced with too many rainy days this summer. I remember inside picnics when I was little, my mum would set a blanket out on the living room floor, and we’d have lots of various snacks in little wicker baskets! It was just as much fun as an outside picnic, however we weren’t allowed to play with the frisbee for some reason!

I’m sure you’d all agree that an outside picnic is far more exciting than an inside one (frisbee or no frisbee), but in case we do have to dodge the showers this summer, have a look at our New Sprouts Picnic Set. The set includes everything needed to have a great inside picnic, including squirting ketchup and mustard bottles (my favourite bit!) and slices of watermelon.

As our New Sprouts range is specially designed for little hands, this Picnic Set is great for children from just 2 years old. View our entire New Sprout range. Squirt is almost 4 now, but is a massive fan of the New Sprouts range, particularly the chunky, whimsical play food sets.

Are you a Special Needs Practitioner? Or a parent of a child with additional needs? The Picnic Set, along with many other products in the New Sprouts range have many surprising special needs applications and can be used to support a diverse range of additional needs. They’re great for supporting fine motor skill development, and speech & language development when used as a visual prompt.  On our website we have a whole section dedicated to supporting Special Educational Needs.
