Ages five to seven are an interesting time as kids often start asking for random stuff that they’ve heard about through their mates at school and you start saying stuff like, ‘But you don’t want to be having the same stuff as everyone else!’ We’ve got educational buys where they can learn about the human body in eight different languages or get cracking on science experiments, to getting them into chequers with style, to fantastic creative play for those that love to make and do, to small world inspiration. Enjoy!
