Noddy

Created by Enid Blyton, 'Noddy' is probably her most famous creation, and has, in recent years, been made into an animated series by the BBC. 

Noddy - Make Way For Noddy

'Rainbow' was a true ITV children's classic programme, which ran from 1972 to 1992. Although aimed at the under fives, 'Rainbow' built up a cult status with adults, and also won the 'Best Children's Programme' for 1975, awarded by the Society of Film and Television Arts.

The characters in 'Rainbow' were particularly memorable and lovable; loud Zippy, brown, bungling bear, Bungle, shy pink hippo, George - and, trying to keep order, was genial Geoffrey.

Scooby Doo DVDs from Amazon.co.uk

'Scooby-Doo' is the longest running cartoon series ever, and was first broadcast in the U.S. by CBS in 1969. The main character was the eponymous, happy, nervous, lovable Great Dane. As it was the hippie era, it seemed obvious to introduce Shaggy as TV's first hippie superstar and Scooby's equally nervous human companion! Scooby's other human companions are perfect Fred, glamorous Daphne, and downbeat Velma. 'Scooby-Doo' was originally produced by the legendary Hanna-Barbera Productions.

A Review of Children's Toys of 2014

Sorgenfresser Worry Eaters

With an emphasis on cute, the Sorgenfresser Worry Eaters are kids toys that are designed to allay the fears of small children in an amusing way. Instead of children bottling up their fears, they can write them down on a piece of paper and then feed them to the Worry Eaters, who will happily gobble them up. One of the coolest toys around,, and an expected hit come Christmas time.

Thumbsup Roller Wheel

The Thumbsup Roller Wheel offers children the opportunity to have a great time either inside or out. The wheel can be used to roll around in, or to climb through, and the nature of this colourful toy's design means that children can learn a variety of different skills while they're inside the wheel.

The Convertible Pirate Ship Book

The best toys for children are often those that have more than one function, and the Convertible Pirate Ship Book can certainly be placed in that category. Children can enjoy the story in the book, and then they can live out the story by converting the book into a pirate ship!

Romo The Robot

Designed for use with an iPhone, Romo is a robot that helps children learn about computer programming basics. Romo is a robot that wants to compete in the Robot Space Race, but he becomes sidetracked after he crash-lands on Earth. Consequently, he needs to complete a variety of missions so that he can realise his goal. By helping him complete the missions, via basic computer programming, children will be learning and playing with a cute robot at the same time.

Yetitoy Prince Lionheart

Yetitoy Prince Lionheart is an impressive tricycle for small children. With its appealing animal head it's also designed with safety and comfort in mind, while the big wheels are made of rubber, and the handlebar makes steering easy. Yetitoy Prince Lionheart is appropriate for children aged two and over.

Floral Wigwam

The Floral Wigwam is the perfect place for children to retreat to, whether it's inside when it's raining, or outside on a perfect summer's day. It can be used for a picnic, or as a quiet place to read, or as something that will fuel a child's imagination.

Smartplane Smartphone Controlled Airplane

Cool gadgets are appreciated by children as well as adults, and the Smartplane Smartphone Controlled Airplane is something that children will find easy to operate. The plane is simply controlled by hand movements, through the hand-held smartphone. The Smartplane Smartphone Controlled Airplane can also be operated either indoors or outside.

Rubik's Cube Light And Puzzle

In terms of cool toys, the Rubik's Cube has been hard to beat over the past few decades. This very simple idea has seen people of all ages hooked, but this variation is a light that is also a fully functioning Rubik's Cube Puzzle, too!

DJI Phantom Vision 2

The DJI Phantom Vision 2 will appeal to children that love cool gadgets. This is a Quadcopter that comes complete with its own camera, a flight control system, and the choice of two flight modes to select from. The DJI Phantom Vision 2 will also give the user greater intuition as to how to control flight.

Disney Frozen Castle And Ice Palace Playset

Inspired by the Disney movie, Frozen, the Disney Frozen Castle and Ice Palace Playset will be loved by girls. Suitable for children aged three and over, the Disney Frozen Castle And Ice Palace Playset is, pardon the pun, one of the coolest toys and there's also the odd surprise, too. Through this toy children will be able to re-create the movie adventures of Anna and Elsa in the beautiful setting of the Frozen Castle and Ice Palace.

Little Tikes Beach Ball Sprinkler

Kids toys for the summer don't come much better than the Little Tikes Beach Ball Sprinkler. The sprinkler shoots water in all directions, while the ball itself can be utilised for play, too, and is hard-wearing enough to be able to cope with what energetic children may throw at it!
