Babyshark Song Puppet by Pinkfong
The finned-phenomena continues with this puppet play thing. Move the mouth of the puppet and the baby shark song will begin. Speed up the song (or slow things down) by moving the mouth faster or slower.
This pretty plush toy is almost too cute to give away! Jaws did bad things for the deep sea divers, but Baby Sharks that wear smiles as wide as these (we trialled the pretty pink Mommy Shark) gives them some long overdue perfect PR. This sing-along – which comes with tempo control – is a joy.
We might be a little bit late to the party, but we've just been won over.

OranguTwang by Interplay
A two-player game that will spring the surprises...
Interplay are masters when it comes to delivering cool games, and they delivered another with OranguTwang. It's simple: 'How much can you hang before he goes twaaang?!'
Two players (aged four and up) take turns hanging fruits and jungle friends on the orangutang, but you need to be gentle with your actions, because when he is holding too much he will spring up and send the fruit – and his friends – flying. It's a well-use formula, but this one comes with added monkeying around!
Easy to set up, fun to play and it doesn't need batteries – perfect table-top fun, and it's the cheapest way to spend time in amongst palm trees...

Fairy Nature Garden by Interplay
Help give your little people an appreciation for nature with this awesome kit. It's a fantastic chance for little folks to get hands-on – they can grow edible plants using the seeds that come with the set, and learn about collecting and re-using water with the water butt.
The idea is to grown a magical garden home with Andrena and Pip (who also come with the package), but aside from the cress and pea seeds, this set also contains a bug house and water butt.
The two-story playhouse looks fantastic, but more than that, it teaches little minds about nature – and they'll love watching the cress spring up.
Fairy Nature Garden can be used indoors or out, so chilly weather won't stop play.
