Cozy Coupe Is 30

The Cozy Coupe is having a birthday – it’s having its 30th birthday this year! To celebrate Little Tikes (the makers) have launched a special 30th Anniversary Edition (pictured). It’s available here

We’ve previously mentioned the Princess coupe and why our own children loved theirs so much. Apparently, more than 20 million Cozy Coupes have been sold worldwide and its easy to see why …its just such a good toy!

Ballooppa Football Game

Ballooppa is football game suitable for all ages and for any size garden.

The Ballooppa football is firmly attached to an adjustable 6 metre tether (in the way that swingball works with the tennis ball). The tether is attached to a robust target hoop which has 3 height positions. Ideal for developing football skills and accuracy, simply aim for the hoop and kick the ball. Ballooppa will provide endless fun, and you won’t loose your ball over the fence or through a window thanks to the firm rope!

It’s quick and easy to assemble, perfect for single or multi players and includes ground stakes, so you’ll be ready to play in no time. Stocked by John Lewis

Stick Joins Toy Hall of Fame

The wooden stick is the latest toy to be inducted into the New York based National Toy Hall of Fame

A small selection of wooden sticks, including a pistol shaped stick join such classic toys as the bicycle, the yo-yo, the teddy bear and Monopoly. The stick was one of three items nominated for induction by around 35,000 Americans. The other two toys were the baby doll and the skateboard.

I’m not sure I agree with the decision. Isn’t a stick an object that is used as a toy rather than being an actual toy? If a stick is included then how about a saucepan and wooden spoon – otherwise known, as many parents will know, as a drum!

Evel Knievel Toy Set

When I was still in short pants a friend had this Evel Knievel toy stunt set. I seem to remember that the motorbike went like a rocket! We had hours of fun winding Evel up and making him jump over the accompanying ramps and by also making our own ramps out of piles of hardback books and boxes.

Well, the great news is that this Seventies toy is available again – it’d make a great retro present for boys of all ages! Visit Hawkin Bazaar today and treat someone to this totally fab toy.
