Animal Quoits

What a great way to learn about distance and co-ordination all while having loads of fun. These animal quoits are really cute with their big, bright eyes and sweet faces. The set consists of 3 animal stands – a frog, bee and ladybug, and six rope rings.

To play the game your child throws the rings towards the stand with the aim of landing the ring right over the animals head. The child who lands most rings on the stand is the winner.

We don’t worry about who wins and who loses. We play just to see how many we can land around the stands. We start with the stands reasonably close and then gradually extend the distance. You can choose the distance to suit your child’s age and game experience.

While the weather is cool, this is a fun game to play indoors. As the weather warms you can take the game outdoors and enjoy the sun while you play. It’s a game that suits the whole family and is suitable for children aged 3 and up. The stands are 15cm high and the rope rings have an 11cm diameter.

The pack is presented in a wooden box which is perfect for storage and travel and which would make a fabulous gift.

Get your throwing hand ready!

Animal Transformers

These cute little Animal Transformers will occupy little ones (and adults) for hours! They have flexible arms, legs and head so you can get them to sit, stand, balance on one leg and many other positions.

I could tell you how good they are for improving finger manipulation skills or for learning about body parts. I could tell you they are great for modelling body positions. I could even tell you how good they are as a fidget toy. But what I really want to tell you is that they are fun.

They feel good in the hand. The surface is smooth and cool and the shapes are great to hold. The arms, legs and heads are jointed so they can be made to pose in many different ways. Just slide the limb into a different slot and it will point a different direction.

The figures are painted in bright non-toxic colours and each has a bright, happy smile.

There are four animals to choose from: lion, bear, frog or elephant. We also have a range of Robot Transformers, too.

I think my favourite is the elephant.  How could you not love the trunk and those big, droopy ears? Each little creature is around 11cm tall and suitable for children from the age of 3 and up.
