Designer Stewart Betts has put a modern twist on traditional games. Safari Dominoes from Tidlo features a host of animals including crocodiles, giraffes and zebras, encouraging early development skills such as hand-eye coordination and matching. It’s the first item to be illustrated by Emma Talbot, a fresh face in the industry who will be illustrating all new Tidlo toys from John Crane. Tidlo has something even for the smallest puzzlers. The Touch and Feel
Puzzle collection includes three different themes; Touch and Feel Bugs, Touch and Feel Farm and Touch and Feel Safari. Each puzzle piece is chunky allowing easy handling, and the pieces can stand freely away from the play board to add extra play value. Underneath are different textures that help children recognise which piece goes where, teaching shape recognition and improving sensory skills. A firm favourite is Magnetic Pond Fishing. This game, with nine familiar wildlife creatures, includes two fishing rods which have a magnet on the end, so kids can ‘sling their hook in’ and pick up. There is also Magnetic Fun Bugs, with 10 insects children can lift out, and Magnetic Fishing Fun, with 10 underwater creatures to fish out.
