SKIP HOP ACTIVITY GYMS Hey baby, time to hit the gym!

A stimulating activity gym is a

must for every bubba, and for

great design and practicality we

can’t go past these gorgeous

unisex designs from Skip Hop.

Have a hoot with ‘Treetop

Friends’ or get started early on

their ABCs with ‘Alphabet Zoo’.

Baby can gaze up at the

colours, patterns and

mirror, or reach and

grab to discover textures

and sounds.

KIDDIMOTO BALANCE BIKES Get your motor (and your legs)

running! Kiddimoto balance

bikes will be the coolest toddler-

powered wheels to hit your

footpath this Christmas morning.

These bikes teach tiny tots

balance and co-ordination on

two wheels from the get-go,

making a much easier transition

to a pedal bike when the time

comes (no training wheels

required). We love the creative

styling and racetrack-worthy

paint jobs, too.

and-store solution for LEGO,

DUPLO and all your little bits

up bricks or rescuing them

from the vacuum! Great for

hauling to Grandma’s house

(and for saving your feet

from LEGO-related injuries).

no other! Spineless Classics

the original 1973 Haynes MGB

manual in to a cool art print:

every data table, part number

surroundings than an oil-stained

garage ... or maybe that is exactly
