Children of school age will learn that a 'force' is a push or a pull and that include Earth's gravity! It’s key for kids to understand how the world works around them. After all, gravity is the pulling force acting between the Earth and any other object, like with our Drop & Race Car Toy. This educational toy will provide them with hours of play and teach them these fundamental principles of the universe.

It’s now just 7 Weeks til Christmas, which means we are announcing our sixth Toy of the Week for you! Advocated by teachers, this reward toy is a real game changer. Encouraging positive behaviour with toys and games is called positive reinforcement and it’s been proven to be very effective.

In the hopes to celebrate our 225th Birthday, we’re taking stock of our wonderful play food range. Which, as luck would have it, includes our Let’s Pretend Ice Holiday Lolly set.

Established in 1795, by the time Big Ben was built – in 1859 - Jaques of London were already 64 years old!

That’s why we think learning life skills like this should be at the heart of your children’s play—it helps them understand the world around them.
