London, UK (PRWEB) August 23, 2008 -
When it comes to the end of the school holidays, kids can start getting restless, and finding different ways to keep the small ones entertained and pleased at home can turn into an exhausting task. Luckily for parents, experts at The Handpicked Collection have provided some much-needed help in keeping kids occupied with fresh thoughts and children's toys until the new term starts.
Whatever their favourite leisure activity might be, shopping website The Handpicked Collection's team of journalists, experts and entrepreneurs have found children's toys to keep all kids amused, from budding artists to wannabe Jamie Olivers. Here are their top picks for classic toys to keep children entertained right through the summer. All products can be found on The Handpicked Collection website (http://www.handpickedcollection.com).
Thought # 1: Gardening
Kids will like getting busy in the garden with a Complete Children's Gardening Kit (£14.95) with a mini watering can, tools, gloves and pocket-filled carrier. Artistic children will also relish the opportunity to transform the humblest of daisies or dandelions into a work of art with a gorgeous small Wooden Flower Press (£5.50). Meanwhile, bird-loving children can encourage new feathered friends to the garden with the Build It Birdcafe (£14.95).
Thought # 2: Cookery
These classic toys will encourage any budding chef. The Cheep-cheep cooker (£59.95) and Cheep-cheep saucepan (£14.95) are cute, durable and allow children to cook in safety whilst sitting at a table, whilst the Hungry Small Caterpillar Children's Baking Set (£34.95) allows them to cook up a storm with their very own kit.
Thought # 3: Croquet
The Children's Croquet Set (£14.95) is a excellent value version of the classic toy, and once their energy has been spent, they can lounge in the Classic Children's Deckchair (£24.95) and flop on the giant Padded Oil Cloth Lounging Blanket (£59.95) – large enough for the kids and all their friends.
Other ways to spark a child's imagination:
The Handpicked Collection has sourced some of the best children's toys for imaginative play. Kids can explore the world with a Giant Cloth Map (£229.95) or delight in a traditional game of Cowboys & Indians (£74.95) in their very own Wigwam – a classic toy which is perfect for keeping Braves and Squaws pleased for hours.
