Can you believe that we are almost in April? I’m looking forward to the lighter nights and warmer days so I can get to the bottom of my washing pile and sort the garden out. The boys on the other hand are looking forward to days out with their friends and being able to play with some of their new toys both in the house and in the garden.

Gravity Elevator Vertical Motor Set
Budding engineers will love Geomag’s Gravity Elevator Vertical motor Set. The set is aimed at children aged 8 and over. The 183 piece set is available from all major toy stockists. It is designed to show the up and down movement of the spheres. Load the spheres at the top and watch as their weight moves a never-ending spiral and starts a real gravity elevator. Once they reach the bottom then the spheres join a track circuit full of amazing magnetic tricks and then descend once again to keep the elevator spinning.
I hope the above suggestions are of use to you when it comes to choosing new toys for your children.
