Pink stinks for little girls

Alan — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 06:24:11 +0000

A new pressure group led by Emma and Abi Moore titled the ‘Pinkstinks’ campaign is asking parents to boycott any shops that sell pink clothes and pink toys for girls.

The twins, who have about three thousand supporters on Facebook, claim that young girls are being brainwashed by companies that target them in particular with pink items such as dresses and pink toy fairy wings.

Additionally, the group claims that the media is too focused on WAGs, sexy pop stars, and stick thin models which is making young girls look towards unrealistic role models.

The group identified the Early Learning Centre as one of the largest offenders of creating specifically pink toys.

The ‘Pinkstinks’ campaign believes that while boys toys embrace every avenue from educational to adventure to science, girls toys are much more limited to simply being pretty.

Who’s been playing with the kids toys?

Alan — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 06:21:30 +0000

A new research study found that on average a parent spends about a month of their own life playing their children’s toys, on their own.

The study claims that parents spend about 22 minutes a day playing with toys like dolls, bricks, and games, while their children are not playing.

This equates to about two and a half hours a week or five days a year. Thus, during the seven years that a child is ages four to eleven the parent will play on their own for about a month ten days.

The study also found that parents get angry, although they may not show it, when a child decides to play with the toy they are currently toying with.

Out of the parents surveyed, half stated they preferred Lego with the other half admitting they enjoyed puzzles and games.

The survey included 2,000 parents and was conducted by the Early Learning Centre which additionally found that 25% of parents purchased new toys out of their own boredom and not their child’s.

Chuckle Buddies Available from Hawkin’s Bazaar

admin — Mon, 18 May 2009 16:07:41 +0000

You’ll roll around laughing!

The Chuckle Buddy has soft, tactile fur and a wide-eyed cuteness that belies the fact that he is a plush toy with a difference – he lies in wait to spot your presence with his clever movement sensor, and then begins a display of merriment that will induce anyone watching to join in with a smile and a chuckle of their own. He rolls from side to side, chortling loudly – a great curiosity and source of fun. Two designs are available, a cute and cuddly spaniel or a cheeky, mischievous monkey.

Chuckle Buddy Dog – £14.99

Christmas the Sproutifarts! – Online fun from Hawkin’s Bazaar

admin — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 21:52:32 +0000

Hawkin’s Bazaar have produced a sequel to their online game Attack of the Sprouts.

If you are a dyed-in-the-wool sprout-hater, then you might find this game difficult as you actually have to eat the sprouts. Follow the simple instructions – eat the sprouts and then make sure you press and hold the ‘Fart’ button (great face!) to get rid of your excess wind – but make sure you don’t fart too much and go hungry, otherwise you’re done for! You’ll see that the whole family joins in as you go through the levels.

Fun for all the family!

LeapFrog Tag – A ‘Must Have’ Toy for this Christmas

admin — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:12:35 +0000

This Christmas, the Practical Parenting Gold Award winning new LeapFrog Tag Reading System, will take learning to read to a whole new level. Combining the enjoyment of reading with an interactive learning experience through fun games and activities, Tag has already been tipped by Woolworths and Argos as one of the top new toys for Christmas. [See Agros Top Christmas Toys and Woolworths Top Christmas Toys]

LeapFrog Tag

The Tag Reading System consists of an electronic reader which, when used with the range of exciting LeapFrog book titles, makes story time come to life. With every touch Tag’s built-in camera reads words and pages aloud, with characters and pictures making noises to enhance the reading experience. The groundbreaking Tag technology helps children learn to read, develop their vocabulary and learn how to spell, through games and activities within the books.

The Tag system works by “reading” by identifying dotted media. A small, sophisticated infrared camera works as an imaging system to recognize letters, words, and symbols when written on special dot-patterned paper. Using an optical pattern system and digital processing techniques the Tag reader can determine its precise location within the dot media. This enables a child to jump around within a book, or back and forth between different books in a seamless way.

There are more than nine titles in the LeapFrog Tag range, from classics such as Paddington Bear and Dr Seuss, to contemporary characters like Ariel from Disney Princesses and Po from Kung Fu Panda.

The current full list is:

Disney Pixar Cars
Disney Princess
Kung Fu Panda
Go Diego Go
SpongeBob Square Pants
Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends
Olivia
Paddington Bear
Dr Seuss The Cat in the Hat

Exciting titles due to launch in 2009 include Dora the Explorer, Scooby Doo and the eagerly anticipated Madagascar 2. Tag stores up to five titles and is small enough for learning on the go.

A unique benefit of Tag is that it connects to a brand new online Learning Path*: a dedicated website where kids can unlock fun rewards and activities and parents can follow their child’s learning progress.
Tag is suitable for 4-8 years old. RRP £39.99 which includes the title Ozzie & Mack

The new technology means that children are no longer confined to repetitive books. With Tag, reading becomes a joy and a game! Children are now able to get a sense of independence as they can to read by themselves or with their parent. For more information visit www.leapfrog.com/tag
