Take on some new tricks Wilton Bradley
01626 835400 | www.wiltonbradley.co.uk Since 2014, Xootz has been making it easier than ever for kids to access the great outdoors. With a range of skates, scooters and skateboards that bridge the gap between toy and action sports, there’s never been a better time to coax the kids away from the screen and out to play. With a contemporary asymmetric design and perfectly co-ordinated performance, the Xootz Phantom and Shred 2.0 Stunt Scooters have arrived. Featuring precision-quality ABEC-7 bearings, black and white 100mm PVC wheels, and solid T-Bar stunt handlebars secured with a 3-bolt tube clamp, these scooters have all the essentials for taking on some new tricks. The non-collapsible T-Bar handles with steel clamp and deck provide the rigidity required for the knocks and impacts it will receive, while the integrated aluminium brake provides the stopping power needed to ensure a safe and controllable ride inside and outside the skate park.

The UPS store is the perfect addition to the UPS vehicles from Mercedes, Mack and Scania already in the Bruder range and is easy to combine with the other bworld themed sets. Bworld is the toy world of Bruder. It is made up of moving figures, animals, accessories and more recently themed sets, assigned to the well-known Bruder categories. Whether as a driver, rider, water sports enthusiast, or in the hospital ward or motorcycle workshop, bworld items provide hours of fun on their own or make the perfect addition to the detailed vehicles. And with the new themed sets, kids can dive even deeper into the world of Bruder. Printed wall elements with easy-to-mount adjustable feet now form the space for even more reality when playing and the new shelving system can also interact with other elements.

01580 713000 www.thamesandkosmos.co.uk Thames & Kosmos has launched the Massive Erupting Volcano: the biggest yet in the company’s history, standing at 1ft tall. With this kit, children from the age of eight can simulate the epic, earth-shattering power of a volcano in their own home! Aspiring geologists can build the huge volcano model with a sturdy frame that slides together, and then decorate it with paint, fake boulders, and cardboard cutouts of dinosaurs and prehistoric plants. But this isn’t just any old volcano; this is a model of an ancient and immensely large volcano from the days when dinosaurs roamed the planet and children will have gooey fun while learning all about real-life volcanoes and what causes them!
