Fitting wheels on small pieces of furniture can make for easy and quick home redecoration, but most of them are purely functional. If you’re dreaming of the perfect children’s room, a bunch of Smiles:-) Wheels would look much better.
They come in 2 types – with or without brakes – and 4 cute models: cow, bear, mouse and plane. The metallic part can be mounted on virtually any piece of furniture with enough even pieces, but… there’s a but. You pay a (large) premium for having cute cow support your kids’ cabinets: €6.80 for the no-wheel version and €8.77 for the other, which can add up to a lot in the end.

The floor is usually covered in boring carpets, but for some lucky kids with cool parents, it could be covered in stars. Well, one star and a bunch of planets.
The Solar System Floor Puzzle is 2 x 3 feet, but doesn’t come with the 5.000 regular pieces that would be needed to cover such a big chunk. 48 big ones is enough to recreate the solar system and, even though for an adult the size might not sound so impressive, kids are bound to have a blast playing and learning.
Because children and cardboard don’t go very well together, the puzzle is 20% thicker than its run of the mill cousins and comes with an easy to wipe surface. I can hear some parents sighing with relief now.

It’s time for another installment of “Why didn’t they make things so cool when I was a kid?”.
Little Tommy watches WALL-E. Then he comes home and, look, mummy and daddy got him a new toy! It has keys and things happen when he pushed them!
The WALL-E Learning Laptop is an interactive copy of the animated robot, but its job isn’t cleaning up Earth. It’s meant to help children (ages 4 and up) to develop certain key skills through fun activities, and it addresses 5 areas: letters, words, math, logic and games.
It’s got a flip-down QWERTY keyboard, moving arm controllers and a small LCD screen, enough to be fun but not overly complicated.
Too bad we adults are past the learning-by-playing phase..
