Tired of the same old board games? We’ve got just what you need! In this highly entertaining game, each card is printed with three statements — two are true, and one is a lie. Roll the dice to select a ‘fact’ and then read it aloud. Keep a straight face because it’s your job to convince your opponents that you’re telling the truth! Here’s an example: ‘Slugs have five noses’ or ‘Donald Duck was once banned from Finland because he doesn’t wear trousers’ or ‘99% of people can’t lick their own elbow’. Hmm… who’s telling big fat porkies?

Practice letter recognition and counting with this lovely abacus. Standing 30cm tall, it has 6 rows of square beads which spin and slide along the rods. Each has a lowercase letter and a corresponding farmyard word on the other side… from C for Chicken to S for Scarecrow! Also included are the numbers 1 to 10, with colourful dots for counting.

This is a brilliant, arty gift for any child that picks pencils and paper over screens and remotes.

Every drawing can be easily rubbed off with a dry cloth, so it works as a funky bedroom decoration for every season.

There are 400 question cards with two possible answers, you just have to decide which one is right. You don’t shout out the answers, you don’t even need to know them, simply stand up or sit down to show your choice. Stand Up if you think that the strongest animal for their body weight is an ant…Sit Down if you think that it’s a gorilla. Which grows up…stalactite or stalagmite? A fast paced energetic trivia game
