9. Bionic Putty Ages 4+
$9.95

After years of restless research, here is a putty formula that not only has the properties of a solid, but also a liquid and even more bizarrely - a ball!
That right, you can sculpt it and snap it like a solid, stretch it and watch it melt like ice cream or you can roll it into a ball and watch it bounce to incredible heights!
Bionic Putty has a multitude of other uses and it's not just for the kids. Great at work to ease the stress of office life or as a fun, inexpensive alternative to Silly Putty

8. Foxtail Sonic Balls Age 3+
$17.95


A Foxtail® that breaks the sound barrier every time you throw it. Whistles lodged in the leather-covered soft sponge ball shriek as it whizzes through the air.






7= Nano Blocks Ages 8+
From $14.95


Only available in a handful of places outside of Japan, these cool alternatives to Lego are being snapped up for Dads more than for the kids (they look great on the office computer). Space Shuttle, Guitar and Drum Kit are the big three this year. They come in three different skill levels and take between 30 minutes – 1 hour to assemble. Children as young as 7/8, who are good with their hands, can work with a parent (especially on the easy ones such as the Eiffel Tower) but to do solo, this probably suits a 12+.A nice little touch is that each pack comes with spare pieces. We also have Easter Island, Eiffel Tower, Koala, Panda and Meerkat.




7=. Kaleidoscopes Ages 2+
$12.95


Classic toys are in this year and everyone loves these













6. Roos Dress Your Doll Ages 7+
$39.95


Making dolls’ fashion is now childs play!
Roos is a unique and brand-new concept, developed by European fashion designers with a great deal of love and enthusiasm for children who want to learn how to make (dolls’) clothes themselves.
The DressYourDoll collection consists of a number of different silhouettes in
an ascending degree of difficulty ranging from 1 to 3 pairs of scissors.
With a bit of help, a seven-year-old child is able to start at the lowest
level, i.e. 1 pair of scissors.
It is sufficient to be able to cut nicely and sew a straight short line!
All silhouettes are in different prints and combinable.

The fairy one has two fairy figures with an assortment of wings, hairstyles, dresses, and accessories to make them your own.
