Pink Automobile

Colloco, Automoblox Mini C9 Pink, £8.95, Now £6.00

Faced with a photographic choice of pink, red or blue to place here, The GIN Lady's feminist streak raised its head and we firmly opted for the pink version - who says that cars aren't for girls or for that matter, little boys don't like it either! We discovered this ultra cool car at Colloco, a wonderful retail space dedicated to specialist independent businesses - we love! This Automoblox C9 Sportscar - so flash! - is made from high quality wood and makes for a cool alternative to the plastic we're bombarded with, particularly when it comes to toys. We reckon this has a collectible touch and will be knocking around for years, so considering the inexpensive price tag, it's cracking value.

The really clever bit about this car though is its design. It can be pulled apart and reassembled into different designs, allowing your kid to think in a 3-D space. Cognitive? Tick. Cool? No doubt. We're buying one - how about you?! BUY NOW FROM COLLOCO!

RAINY DAY CRAFT FOR KIDS

Mimimyne, Rainy Day Craft Kit, £29.99

As Autumn approaches, and the inevitable rain, Mimimyne have come up trumps with this super craft set - my little one is going to love this! Award winning in 2008 for Pre-schoolers, this is what the testers said "Its value as a creative resource is immense and it incorporates flexible and and enjoyable activities, as well as helping to teach children about the environment. Everything in the box was great. The instructions were easy to understand and follow..... It has fantastic educational value and appealed to children throughout the trial. Adaptable, original and a lot of fun!"
