Big Feelings Pineapple™
(Ages 3+)
Children use the 26 expression pieces included with this award-winning pineapple toy to make faces as they learn about how facial expressions show what people are feeling. The pineapple has two sides, so children can make contrasting expressions such as happy and sad, silly and serious. The Big Feelings Pineapple™ also includes a full colour emotions poster which can be used with the pineapple, to help children identify expressions and express their feelings through play.
Geosafari® Jr. Dino Discovery Dig T-Rex
(Ages 4+)
This is the perfect gift for a budding palaeontologist and can be used again and again! Dig into the reusable mountain case, scoop out the real dino dirt, and dig out the mini T-Rex skeleton model and mystery hidden gem hidden inside. Keep the dirt and use it again! The sculptable, tactile dino dirt can be squished, squashed, and pressed into the fossil shapes, and it never dries out, so the fun never ends.
Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog® Fidget Friend
(Ages 18 months+)
There are 6 ways to fidget and play with the award-winning Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog® Fidget Friend. Each time your child spins the wheel, turns the crank, presses the button, twists the knob, pushes the plunger, and moves the switch, they’re learning essential fine motor skills through tactile and fun fidget play. Because there are no loose parts with this Spike toy, it’s perfect for on-the-go fidget play when travelling, or visiting friends and family this Christmas.

Test on a small area before use.)
My Feelings Rainbow Fidget
