Welcome to the Thinking Toys May newsletter!

Hi there ,

If this is your first newsletter... Welcome! If not, then welcome back and I hope you like the new look to Thinking Toys!

Haydon, my oldest boy, turned Seven this week. His main present was a half size real guitar which he is delighted with. We're researching appropriate eco-friendly musical instruments for our site as a new range.

Lots of new products are available on our website now. These include the award winning range of Anamalz. These cute little guys are made from organic plantation Maple, textiles, non-toxic water based European paints and formaldehyde free glue. They have posable legs and heads. Kids just love them.

Anamalz are also a fantastic complement to our gorgeous new farmhouse. The farmhouse comes with an amazing variety of farm tools and bits and pieces. Children will have loads of fun down on the farm growing and harvesting vegetables, looking after the ducks and mucking out the barn. All while they are learning where our food comes from!

Don't you just hate loosing those small pieces of wooden puzzles? Or despair when the kids accidentally sit on the cardboard storage boxes and break them? We have the answer!

Thinking Toys calico bags are now available in 3 sizes to store all your wooden puzzles, Quadrilla, beads, marbles or anything else you don't want to lose!

The Duffle bags cost only $10.95 each or just a mere $3.99 when you buy them at the same time as the Quadrilla! One bag fits the Basic Set and the huge Twist Set fits into two.

Medium bags cost just $5.95 and you get one FREE with every purchase of the fabulous new Kaleido-fun, an open ended, creative toy with endless possibilities for only $34.95!

Small bags are ideal for marbles, beads, pebble collections or any other small trinkets the little adventurers in our lives like to bring home and you don't know what to do with!

Soon to arrive....

Natural, wooden 3D puzzles. Great for that hard to buy for relative or friend who just seems to have everything! Looks beautiful displayed on a coffee table or desk.

A range of colourful alphabet and number puzzles from the Lanka Kade range. A fair trade company registered with the British Association of Fair Trade Shops (BAFTS).

A lovely wooden Tractor with 2 trailers, farmers, cow and bales of straw. The perfect accompaniment to the Farmhouse!

Of course there is still our fabulous range of wooden board games, great for a rainy day (we've had a lot of those lately!) There's something for everyone at Thinking Toys!
