ELC's Vanishing from the High St.

Don't be surprised to see Early Learning Centres disappear from the High St and become a brand available in Out of Town Mothercares. Following a whole load of independent shops who have disappeared from towns across the country.

I can't help feeling its our children who are losing out soon there will be many towns with no toy shop for them to visit and spend their pocket money.

I know I cherish my childhood memories of visiting a toy shop do we really want our children to miss out on such a great thing.

Support your local toy shops or lose them and make the world a sadder place for your children and your community.

High Street Closures

More and more independent toy shops are closing in the 1st half of 2011, they are being dragged under by greedy landlords and the poor state of the economy.

Lots of toy producers are now worried that there are not enough places on the high street for their products to be seen, leading to an adverse effect on online sales. Lego is starting to open Lego brand stores in order for it to maintain a presence on the high street.

Toy Talk

I often look at the Toy Talk website.

Check out

Toy Talk

as an example of what can be found there.

Le Toy Van Website

Check out the new rotating images at Le Toy Vans site. well worth a look.

I'll be reviewing some of these toys soon.

Micro Scooters - still the best.

It seems that the enduring popularity of the micro scooter continues. Available in blue or pink its amazing how many children you see riding them to and from school.
Light enough to be carried should your child not to want to ride anymore they are a parents firm favourite.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a child's first scooter and they are well worth the £45 - £50 price tag.
