Toy of the Week

Polar Island, tickit

A beautifully detailed wooden playset that inspires imaginative, screen-free play. The 19-piece frozen island scene features detailed artistic elements, icy walls with sparkling white frosty gems, and comes with characters and animals from our polar regions, including a wooden Inuit, igloo arch, penguin, polar bear and cub, walrus, seal, orca, and a fish. Children can use the playset as a whole, or split it into separate iceberg and underwater play areas. It’s great for inspiring discussion about the climate, weather, oceans and sea life. However children choose to play, it’s fun for creating endless storytelling adventures.

The Bear Cubs and the Christmas Wish, Zemanel

Nestled in Bramble Wood lives Mummy bear, Daddy bear, and their cubs: Daisy, Clover, Aster and Basil.

As winter settles in and the trees grow bare, the little family busy themselves with preparations for Christmas. They hang garlands, make paper chains and nestle by the fire. But suddenly, Daisy wonders: Who will give Mummy and Daddy a Christmas gift?

Determined to find the perfect gifts, the bear cubs set off through the forest. They try to capture the blue of the sea, the rush of the wild winds, the warmth of a sunbeam and the reflection of the moon, but each treasure is impossible to take and they return home empty handed. But they soon discover that Christmas isn’t just about the perfect gift, and that nature has a way of rewarding the kind-hearted.

Mia’s Cheetah, Amelia Bothe

Buckle up for the best rumpus since Where the Wild Things Are, when a girl discovers the magic waiting just outside her car window.

Mia is not excited about the long, boring drive to Nana’s house.

Too many miles. Too much waiting. Too little fun. But then her dad lets her in on a secret game and everything changes.

Now, the trip that started out so dull suddenly feels much too short! And when they finally get to Nana’s house, Mia discovers this special tradition runs deeper than she ever guessed.

With playful, not-to-be-missed illustrations and a tender family twist, Mia’s Cheetah celebrates the power of imagination waiting just outside our windows.
