Survival Competition
CHRISTMAS Contents COMPETITION!
6 ROLE MODELS
The importance of role-play cannot be underestimated and recent studies indicate that they will get far more fun and enjoyment from toys and games that imitate the things you do rather than the latest fads
10 SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS – MEET LOTTIE
13 FAMILY FUN OUTDOORS Just because it’s a bit nippy outside doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t wrap up and enjoy some wonderful, fresh air fun!
We’ve teamed up with Gibson’s to give two lucky readers the chance to win a set of My World jigsaw puzzles and games!
My World is an award-wining range of puzzles and games for children 18m+.
Developed with child psychologist Dr Amanda Gummer, these colourful puzzles and games complement Early Years Goals and the National Curriculum and are made in the UK from 100% recycled board.
The boxes contain a unique slot in the top for children to post their pieces back in and help with putting away which is thoroughly appreciated by the little ones who are keen to help!
Gibsons are giving away two sets of games and puzzles. Each winner will receive a copy of My Farmyard, My Silly Stories, My Body and My Lotto.
Entering the competition couldn’t be easier. Simply email your name, address, postcode and daytime telephone number to
myworld@lincolnbrody.co.uk by the closing date of 7th December.*
NOT A WINNER? You can get 20% OFF My World puzzles and games and FREE delivery at
rainstartsplay.com until 30th November 2012. Use offer code SURVIVAL at the checkout.
