![]() From little ones who are just learning about Christmas to the ones who can’t sleep in the three-week run-up, we’ve got toys designed to keep them all happy. It doesn’t matter how old your little ones are either, as we’ve got something to please children of all ages. From ones that have kept kids entertained for years to ones that’ll let their creative side bloom, you’ll find everything here to make their Christmas Day extra special. Whether you’ve got a little boy or a little girl, we’ve got items designed to put a smile on everyone’s face. While they’ll want those big presents that they don’t stop talking about, what about a few more? Our collection of toys and games is the ideal way to build their present pile this year. To be honest, they’ve probably been thinking about them all-year-round. If there’s one thing the little ones think about when Christmas is just around the corner, it’s presents. A football training set (complete with cones, discs and a football), a catch ball game, even a water bomb set (for the sunniest days only of course!) could all work wonders in finally tiring your little one out in time for bed. If your little one has a surplus of energy, then it might be worth your time picking up something from our outdoor selection. They can spend the whole day running around at school only to get home and decide they want to spend the whole evening jumping on the bed. ![]() The sets come with paints, brushes and everything you need to get creative. Choose from painting Marvel masks, painting unicorns, painting garden gnomes and loads more besides. Don’t run the risk of them drawing on the walls out of boredom, pick up an art set instead. With another school holiday on the horizon, your kids may find themselves with a lot of time on their hands. Or, if that all sounds a bit too muddy for you, pick up one of the Insect Play Sets, all the (plastic) bugs with none of the mud. ![]() Remember spending hours in the garden searching for creepy crawlies as a kid, wasn’t it the best? Bring back the good old days with our garden tools and Kids Bug Catcher sets (to ensure they can monitor all of their interesting creepy finds before setting them loose again). Our huge range of toys and games has something that’s perfect for you, whatever you’re searching for. ![]() Whatever the occasion, you can never have too many games to keep the little ones entertained. Ithaca, New York: As the saying goes, “Ithaca is indeed gorges”-which means it has plenty of hills and crags and waterfalls to explore, in addition to the lake at the center of it all.Birthdays, parties or just rainy Sundays.Astoria, New York: The puddles on the sidewalks here rival the size of the potholes in the streets.Mount Evans, Colorado: The slopes of this mountain, which rises over 14,000 feet in elevation, are a great place to find snow when city streets have already thawed.Denver, Colorado: Here, urban commuters are as likely to find spring snow in the streets as they are to sweat through 80-degree days.With those conditions, when drops hit the pavement, rain boots are a popular item among students. Claremont, California: The locals of this Southern California college town have little tolerance for inclement weather, and the streets and drainage systems weren’t designed to take much precipitation.Goat Rock Beach, California: Here we found lots of cold-water surf and wet, rocky coastline for traction testing.Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve: This temperate rainforest in California receives 55 inches of rain per year and offered us plenty of muddy trails.We tested boots in those conditions, and again in 2019 during an even more extreme flooding event. Guerneville, California: In 2017, this Northern California town evacuated more than 3,000 people after severe flooding in January and February.In addition, Edwards said, “With some of the higher-quality boots you’ll find more of a traditional cloth lining on the inside.”.“By making it thicker, it adds a bit more weight and body to it so it ultimately will last you a whole lot longer than if you had just the super-cheap, thin, polyurethane kind of a rain boot,” said Edwards. A weighty boot is an indication of quality, because the maker has likely poured a thicker rubber to create it.Lower-quality boots are often made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which can crack and warp over time and with use, though it’s often cheaper and lighter than rubber or latex. For increased durability, choose a boot made from latex or rubber.And “a really good rain boot is fully injected as one whole unit, which means that there is no room for water to seep in because there’s no seams, there’s no cement, there’s no separation of one in two pieces-it’s all one piece,” said Edwards. Look for boots that have a hearty seam seal between the sole and upper this is one of the major features that make the boots waterproof.
