Fabulous Colouring In Books

Ninny Noodle Noo, Rosie Flo's Animal Colouring In Book, £5.99

When kids become skilled at colouring in, there's no stopping them, and Rosie Flo is the best type of colouring book you can find for both little girls and boys, aged 4 to 12. Unlike the usual colouring book you pick up on the High Street, these sturdy books contain paper that's thick enough to draw on without it showing through and spoiling the next page. Also, the shapes - whether it's a dress, animal or space rocket - are more fun and stimulating than the usual cartoons. Even better, the drawings leave it to your child's imagination to complete, as your little folk will have to draw the head and limbs! Rosie Flo's colouring books are the best around, and mums and parenting editors rave about them alike, including The GIN Lady! When you consider each book will encourage hours and hours of imaginative play, at £5.99, each book is a bargain.

Visit Rosie Flo to learn more and find a stockist near to you or online. Highly recommended.

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!

BUTTERFLY MOBILE
