Score: 94.1%
What the testers said: “This fun helmet inspired the children to learn about safety. They loved wearing it – even indoors! Easy to put on and feels nice, with a lovely texture. It covered the early learning goals in physical development and personal, social and emotional development brilliantly. Safe and durable. It really appealed to the children because of its original design. The children used it not only as a helmet, but for role-play, too!”

Score: 93.8%
What the testers said: “A great idea! Matching up the dominoes really helped to develop the children’s concentration skills and the beautiful, realistic pictures encouraged them to learn new vocabulary. The pouch makes it a great portable activity. Although the age range is five years plus we used them with younger children too who

also enjoyed playing with them – a very versatile resource. Many children used them as building blocks.”

Score: 93.3%
What the testers said: “An excellent, fun way of learning coin values. Children could identify getting money for ‘my jobs’ and the colourful and exciting board encouraged cooperation when changing money. Prolonged concentration was also practised because the children had to remember the rules of the game. Excellent game for the age group!”
