DD (5) - Playmobil pirate ship (have to confess I love it too...)

DS (7) - 2 books of football stories - we hardly had a word out of him all over Christmas because he had his nose stuck in them!

As usual the things that cost least were played with most - splatter eggs (50p) and balloons to make into things like dogs (£1).

ds1 (3.5) and ds2 (1.5) both love the pop-up post office and pop up play tunnel we bought. I love them cos they're easy to fold down to nothing at the end of the day.

Ello girls construction set, absolutely brilliant, a box full for 320, endless things to make, really brilliant. Unlike Spirograph which at
£17 was a real rip off.

Biggest surprise hit was a book for dd from my dad called My Fairy Princess Palace - opens out to form a 3d pop up castle with push out figures adn accessories. dd has so far played with it for hours every day.

Pretty much everything else has proved a scucess for both ds and dd.

ds - Gameboy with Incredibles and Monsters Inc/Nemo games, Mountain Rescue centre with helicoptor, skidoo and snowplough, RC car, Playmobil Road Set and diggers, Bionicles, Mousetrap and Twister.

dd - dolls, travel cot for doll, Little People Castle, Disney princess scooter, Belle tea trolley.

Biggest disappointment is a RC Stunt Car which doesn't appear to have the necessary charger.
