L.O.L. Surprise! Clubhouse
The dollhouse has been a staple toy since before even the turn of the 20th century, but the new L.O.L. Surprise! Clubhouse is definitely a dollhouse for the 2020s. With bright colours, party rooms and fun accessories to catch the eye, there is so much for your kids to enjoy. The ‘house’ itself is designed like a series of shipping containers, spanning 3 feet wide when fully folded out, giving it a thoroughly modern feel. Fans of this funky doll series will love this colourful party pad.
Custom Diamond Paintings
In an age where everything seems to be digital, there’s something truly charming about giving your little ones a tactile, classic and creative gift. Custom diamond paintings allow your kids to flex their creative muscles and paint their very own shimmering masterpiece, using a huge range of stunning templates and guides. Once they’ve completed their piece, they can display it proudly in their room for all their friends and family to enjoy. Truly a must-have for any budding artist, and perfect for rainy days stuck inside the house.
Lego Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Death Star Final Duel
There are two things that children will love until the end of time: Lego and Star Wars. Put these two things together, and you’re automatically onto a winner.
And this latest Lego set from a galaxy far, far away is no exception. In fact, some parents will probably love it even more than their children, as it depicts the dramatic final battle from the classic Return of the Jedi movie. With 775 pieces and five mini-figures (including Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader of course), this will be a blast from the past for many mums and dads. It also features a rotating throne, reactor shaft and collapsing stairs to keep your kids entertained even after it’s built.
American Girl RC sports car
Say hello to the best driving experience a doll could ask for. This pink and rose gold remote control car brings fun and fashion in equal measure, with lifelike details such as a horn, a cupholder and working headlights. It can even drive in reverse, and the design can be customised with licence plate stickers and various luxe accents.
Osmo Math Wizards Magical Workshop
Who says education can’t be fun? The Osmo Math Wizards Magical Workshop proves that numbers can be a great joy, with self-paced games that teach as well as entertain. Geared towards children aged six to eight, this set incorporates tactile materials into a magic-themed game to teach addition and subtraction, while games like Secrets of the Dragon are all about mastering measurements.
Baby Yoda plushie
The Child has been the breakout star of Disney’s The Mandalorian series. More commonly referred to as Baby Yoda, this big-eyed, big-eared sweetheart has been on the receiving end of many a ‘coo’ and ‘aww’ since it’s small screen debut. So, it’s no surprise that it’s also one of the most sought after toys of the moment.
Every child wants a Baby Yoda of their very own, and this adorable plushie provides your little one with a cute and cuddly friend they can fall in love with.
