Alphabet Name Train<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are made in USA, quality wooden trains that are made in the shape of alphabet. Each train car is a letter of alphabet that you can connect to another via safe magnets. The letters themselves come either unpainted and showing the beauty of the wood grain or are colored with safe paints that are quality tested right here in the United States. The letters can be connected to spell any word, but the primary idea is to spell the name of the child and hence the name. They are not only cute and functional, but can also teach young toddlers how to spell their own name in a fun and playful way.<\/p>\n

In 1966, the parents of Kevin Piece had their hands full during the chaotic holiday season, with 5 kids asking, \u201cHow many more days?\u201d over and over<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Their solution? A family tradition that they have kept for nearly 50 years. A handmade Santa doll became their countdown calendar. With items of clothing strung across the fireplace mantel, every evening after dinner, one of the kids would take a turn dressing Santa. One night it might be a sock, a belt or his jacket. The number of items left told them exactly how many more days until Santa visited their house. The tradition continued, even after they all grew up and moved out. Every December, Santa waited for them in his sleigh by the fireplace, and every December when they visited, they continued to take turns getting him dressed. When the grandkids arrived, they became part of the family tradition. In 2017, Kevin made one for his own family, and once he saw him next to the fireplace and the smiles of joy and wonder on his daughters\u2019 faces, he knew it was time to share this wonderful tradition with the rest of the world. Staying true to his parents\u2019 vision, Santa\u2019s friendly spirit shines through in this new design. Give him a hug and help him get ready for the big day! He\u2019ll appreciate it and your family will too.<\/p>\n

THE AWARD WINNING PORTABLE BABY CHANGING MAT THAT PROMISES TO END WRIGGLY NAPPY CHANGES FOR GOOD.<\/h3>\n

www.thewriggler.com<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

FACEBOOK<\/a> | INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n

The Wriggler portable changing mat is aiming to ease the stress of nappy changing battles and make changing time calmer, quicker and less frustrating.<\/p>\n

The Wriggler is the first portable changing mat designed specifically for babies who wriggle during nappy changing. Its innovative kneepad design gently hugs the child and anchors the mat in place, preventing flipping and rolling and freeing up the parent\u2019s hands for fast and easy changing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce babies learn to roll and crawl, changing time can become a stressful battle for parents and their little ones,\u201d explains co-creator Aileen McCauley. \u201cIt\u2019s not surprising then that up to 40% of parents report feelings of stress and frustration during nappy changing. We created The Wriggler when we experienced the problem with our little ones and thankfully changing time went back to the calm, stress-free time it had once been.\u201d
\nThe Wriggler is a patent pending product which has been rigorously tested to meet the most stringent baby safety standards in the US and Europe. The premium quality materials are BPA, phthalate, lead and PVC free. It is fully wipeable so messes can be wiped clean in seconds.

An LCD screen and fine tip stylus together provide parents with engaging fun and paperless play for their child, whilst the 3D Pen enables safe, mess-free play for artistic children, bringing their drawings to life<\/p>\n

London, 7 October: Award winning global company, Oaxis, today announces the expansion of its collection to include the myFirst Sketch and myFirst 3D Pen in both classic and dolphin designs, the latest additions to the myFirst range of innovative toys and technology for children. The myFirst Sketch and 3D Pen aim to keep kids entertained for hours, whilst developing their writing, drawing and creative skills!<\/p>\n

The myFirst Sketch boasts a Liquid Crystal Display screen, paired with a fine tip stylus for a true, zero delay, pen on paper experience with high contrast luminescent doodles. The sketchpad is available in three different colour ways and sizes (8.5\u201d, 10\u201d, 12\u201d) to suit artists of all ages, supporting their learning and encouraging creativity across new complex concepts. Whether it\u2019s a younger child just getting to grips with scribbling, or a child in school with boundless imagination, myFirst Sketch is designed to bring joy to their learning process.<\/p>\n

With a pressure sensitive LCD screen and impressive one-key erase feature, children are able to draw and write using both thick and thin lines, knowing they can start afresh if their masterpiece doesn\u2019t go to plan first time around! A lock switch is also on hand to keep drawings safe and avoid any accidental scribbles whilst on the go.<\/p>\n

Despite the lightweight and ultra-thin design, the myFirst Sketch is durable and built to last, with rounded rubberized corners, enabling safe use for clumsy children! Perfect for long car and plane journeys or rainy days at home, the sketchpad battery provides up to 2 years of environmentally friendly entertainment, or 50,000 drawings!<\/p>\n

Low heat filaments that are made of recycled PLA materials and no hot external parts ensure that children can play safely once the indicator light turns green after just 30 seconds of pre-heating. Rapid solidification also ensures that the moulded filaments cool almost instantly, providing easy cleaning for mess-conscious parents. The device also has impressive dual action push and pull technology and backward suction to straighten and tighten. Each charge can provide hours of wire-free creative fun and learning through play, with the option to adjust the speed using power saving mode and quick mode.<\/p>\n

The pen is available in Blue & Pink in both a classic and dolphin design, and comes with 5 metres of assorted filament in the classic model and 6 metres in the dolphin model, so the fun can begin instantly. Additional packs of filament are sold separately.<\/p>\n

Introducing Little Sport Star
\nSporty toys for a fit and healthy baby<\/h3>\n

uk.littlesportstar.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FACEBOOK<\/a> | TWITTER<\/a> | INSTAGRAM<\/a> | PINTEREST<\/a><\/p>\n

Little Sport Star is a trusted and award-winning baby toy brand inspired to bring families together through their love of sport. With a range of toys, blankets and play mats inspired by football, tennis, basketball and golf, the Little Sport Star products provide both physical and mental stimulation to babies from a young age, and focuses on the aspirations of the parents to raise a fit and healthy baby, as well as passing on their love of sports.<\/p>\n

The first year of a baby\u2019s life is vital for learning, development and growth. Founder of Little Sport Star, Nick Farnsworth, identified millennial parents were finding it challenging to steer their children away from screens and introduce them to physical, outdoor activities at an early age. Nick championed this with the launch of Little Sport Star in 2012 where he began developing a range of sports-inspired toys to help babies hit their early development milestones.<\/p>\n

Little Sport Star not only offer fun and engaging toys, but also provide babies with skills such as confidence and resilience which they will hold on to later in life. One of the most stimulating activities for children is sport; through sport you develop coordination, balance and core strength, something reflected across the Little Sport Star range.<\/p>\n

Founder of Little Sport Star, Nick Farnsworth, comments: \u201cSports is an international language and a way of bringing people together, from day one and onwards. And although we can\u2019t predict a little one\u2019s future tastes, it is a decent bet that sports will play a small role at some point in their life. I personally felt that baby toys were too pink, fluffy and one-dimensional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ideal gifts for birthdays, baby showers and sports fans, and the Little Sport Star range includes:<\/p>\n

Baby Tennis Racket (RRP \u00a315.00) <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The baby tennis racket is perfect for cuddling with as well as stimulating the baby\u2019s senses with a rattle and squeaker incorporated in the design.<\/p>\n

When babies start to develop a little more strength, they can start to swing it and become familiar with the motion of a tennis racket.<\/p>\n

Baby Golf Club (RRP \u00a315.00)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first soft golf club for babies, the toy was inspired to help babies develop their hand-eye coordination, enjoy the swinging action of a golf club and associate with bright vibrant colours.<\/p>\n

With the additional features of a golf ball attached to the club, a squeaker in the handle and a rattle in the ball, these enhance the overall experience where babies associate noise and colours with the movement of a golf club.<\/p>\n

Baby Football Activity Gym and Play Mat (RRP \u00a354.99)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s first football activity gym, the award-winning Baby Football Activity Gym and Play Mat has been designed to develop the baby\u2019s tummy muscles and overall movement.<\/p>\n

Featuring a hanging football, two cuddly players, mirrors and cushioned sides to form a football pitch, babies can kick, crawl and touch the sensors around the gym, strengthening their upper body and encouraging them to sit up and explore their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Baby Football Comfort Blanket (RRP \u00a311.99)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ideal as a gift to families who are passionate about football, the Baby Football Security Blanket is the perfect comforter for babies with its soft texture and cute character incorporated in the design. It is also a bestselling product in the US. Complimenting the security blanket is Freddy the Teddy (RRP \u00a314.99) ideal for children under one years. Designed to include teethers to stimulate babies, the toy also makes a cheer when pressed, associating sounds with sports.<\/p>\n

A father of two young children himself, Nick says: \u201cWe make it really simple for parents to give their baby the best start in life. Our toys need no explanation; when babies receive our toys, they will probably start cuddling the toy but as they grow older, they will start to interact with them by kicking the ball or swinging the racket. Parents love the idea of seeing their newborn already sharing their love of sport and have already planted the idea that sports is fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin The Carrot earns his place at the Museum of Brands in London
\nHe is expected to attract thousands of visitors in December
\nThe Museum founder warns fans to visit early, as once he\u2019s gone, he\u2019s gone<\/p>\n

Brits have grown to love him and the UK\u2019s favourite cuddly carrot has now earned himself a place in London\u2019s most memorable Museum.<\/p>\n

Aldi\u2019s Christmas star, Kevin the Carrot, was unveiled at the Museum of Brands this morning and he will remain on display throughout December.<\/p>\n

The Kevin exhibit takes centre stage among more than 12,000 products, posters, toys and games that make up the Museum\u2019s extraordinary collection. Thousands of fans are expected to visit to see him alongside other famous faces including Mickey Mouse, Felix the Cat, Paddington Bear and Gordon the Gopher.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll begin his stay at the Museum in the great hall, before making his way to the \u2018Time Tunnel\u2019, which features the world\u2019s most renowned brands and toys from the Victorian era to today.<\/p>\n

The nation was first introduced to Kevin the Carrot in 2016, when he made his debut appearance on Aldi\u2019s Christmas TV advert. Since then, his popularity has soared and last year he even trended on Twitter as demand for the toy outstripped supply.<\/p>\n

Visitors can see Kevin at the Museum in Notting Hill only until New Year\u2019s Eve, but the Museum founder warns once he\u2019s gone, he\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

Robert Opie, Founder of the Museum of Brands, said:\u201cConsidering he only came to life in 2016, Kevin the Carrot has had quite a meteoric rise and his display highlights how characters with strong personalities can create a true bond with the public. He\u2019s become quite a celebrity in his own right.<\/p>\n

At just three years old, Kevin is one of the youngest of toys on display at the Museum of Brands. We know the demand for Kevin toys is incredibly high. We are excited to have him here with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK comments: \u201cKevin has his own base of superfans, and we\u2019re absolutely delighted that they\u2019ll now be able to visit him in this wonderful setting.<\/p>\n

Last year, Kevin the Carrot toys flew off the shelves and over two thirds sold within 24 hours of going on sale. We are thrilled that this year, those who don\u2019t manage to get their hands on one of the toys will no longer have to miss out. Kevin is joining an illustrious list of toys on display at the Museum. We\u2019re all really proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the month of December, fans can visit Kevin at the Museum of Brands, 111-117 Lancaster Road, Notting Hill in London. The Museum is closed on December 24, 25 and 26.<\/p>\n
