Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Having heard of Dream Toys these past few years, last week, I finally had the chance to attend one as press/a journalist. I was quite nervous and unsure what I had to do. When I reached the event venue (not very clearly signed and with heavy rain), there were already a lot of people and children running about playing with all these awesome toys!
Recently, we came across these unique Bizzy Bitz toys. They have a range of building sets for children aged 3 onwards. It was invented by Mr Alta and Mrs Rachel Fogel who have both been working with children for over 25 years. Having observed children of various ages and abilities playing with the various construction toys and based on this research, they invented a universal, totally innovative ball and socket style system, which they named Bizzy Bitz.

Last week, Anthea Turner joins Vivid Toy Group to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Thunderbirds TV series which launched on 30th September in 1965. If you are a big fan of Blue Peter, you probably remember that Anthea Turner’s demonstration of building a replica Thunderbirds base using papier-mache and toilet paper tubes. The beloved 1993 home-made creation caused such a fuss Blue Peter was inundated with requests for an instruction leaflet, which is still available online.
This year represents the 3rd time Vivid Toy Group have launched Tracy Island as part of their Thunderbirds toy range. Having already been listed in a raft of Toy retailers’ Top 10 Toys for Christmas, Hamleys Boys’ Category Manager believes that the new, Interactive version is a sure fire hit: “Tracy Island stands out as the one to watch this Christmas and a complete sell out is predicted.” She continues: “It’s amazing that 50 years on Thunderbirds still has the power to engage with children and adults alike, it’s rich history remastered to a 21st century audience has only strengthened its appeal and place as an iconic British brand.”
The presenters’ original Blue Peter Tracy Island model is unveiled alongside the new Interactive Tracy Island. How awesome is that!

Building and constructing are one of my son’s favourite pastimes. If he is not virtually building in Minecraft, then he is building houses out of his other construction toys. I believe by giving him the right toys will help to nurture him his imaginationand creativity.
Recently, I got in touch with the Anker group who are the designers and suppliers of kids activity brand – Kids Create. Their products are relatively new but they can be found in national retailers, independents and web-based companies.
