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.

Volcanic activity

Thames & Kosmos UK

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!
