Break the Board
£19.99
Like Jackie Chan and the Dayman, you too can become a master of karate. Or, your kids can, anyway. The Break the Board game has somehow managed to turn chopping a board in half into an electronic game. This is a fun, unusual game that make a great gift for any martial arts enthusiasts this Christmas. (But, if they’re really into the sport, do think about getting them actual classes, too!)
Robo Kombat Balloon Puncher
£31.99
If you have ever enjoyed watching Robot Wars on TV, then I can guarantee you are going to love the Robo Kombat Balloon Puncher by Silverlit. The only downside is that there’s no cheeky banter from Craig Charles or mesmerising commentary from Jonathan Pearce - you’ll have to make that up yourself!
What a fantastic interactive product.
We’ve reviewed a few coding toys in Gadget Head, and the concept behind all of them is fantastic – get kids engaging with coding ideas now, to prepare them for what is bound to be a highly digital future. We had simple coding toys when I was a kid, but they were heavy, clunky, and didn’t do an awful lot. Today’s versions are fantastic, and Coding Critters are bringing something to the table that I haven’t seen before – props, story books, and a whole bunch of new reasons to get coding!
If Philip Schofield is happy to award this toy 'Best in Show' on 'How to spend it well at Christmas', there is probably no reason to look at it any further and just assume its awesome. But, as I get paid per review, I should probably write something!
