Uber Word
A whole world of adventure and make-believe
Toys have come a long way since the Dickensian days of the hoop and stick. Bright colours, plastic, batteries and digital technology have transformed the nursery. While construction toys remain popular, finished models will often be of space travel. However, wooden toys are enjoying a revival as buyers think more about the environment.
A favourite toy can shape a child's desire as they grow older. That plush pony could be replaced by the real thing and in no time you will be looking for equestrian equipment. Or laps of the garden in an electric car or buggy could lead to a supercar being on the birthday present list. Be prepared!
A trip along memory lane
Marvel at these museums where you can see - and play - with old toys and let the years roll back.

Uber Ideas
Soft toys never go out of fashion and many follow their owner through life, taking pride of place in student rooms when they're away at university.
Most rocking horses, like the Hamleys one on this page, are bought as toys but others are bought for their aesthetic value or as investment pieces. See more traditional rocking horses by following the link.
Toddlers soon want to be whizzing about on their own set of wheels! We have sturdy ride-on toys that are bound to be a big hit.
