launch Brik-a-Blok in the UK. It has proved to be very popular in its home country of Canada, where it is used by families and schools, and it has been great to see children in the UK playing with it.” The product picked up a Silver

GARDEN GAMES
Garden Games is launching the Camouflage Wigwam Play Tent, aimed at young adventure enthusiasts. Wooden poles keep the wigwam stable and secure, while the peep hole door lets children keep an eye out for intruders. The waterproof nylon fabric also has a PVC coating, meaning the
wigwam can be used in all weathers. The structure is identical to the firm’s standard wigwam, using plastic
connectors to attach the six wooden poles (which stand at 1.9m tall).
The firm says its new Dash II Radio Controlled Boat and mega water launcher, Aquapod, will make children feel like the ‘James Bond of the pond’. Dash II (£59.99) has a stylish red, black and white speedboat design and top speeds of 20 km/h. In-built safety systems also make the boat safe for little hands as the motor stops immediately once it is removed from the water.
Meanwhile, the Aquapod (£24.99) water launcher will have children propelling two litre bottles of water up to 100 feet in the air.
