What will you find in the Brighton Toyshop?

Our latest fascination…

These Velcro sticky blocks are a brilliant toy for younger builders! Soft and squishy for little hands, and with a mechanism that’s easier to stick together than other slotting bricks, these blocks fit together perfectly to make the dinosaur on the packaging and any other creature your imagination can create! Want to turn the tail into a spiky trunk? Want to put the eyes on top, on the sides, on stalks? The freedom is yours! They also mix perfectly with other blocks in the same range – ideal for little scientists who wonder what it would be like to mix a triceratops and a tyrannosaurus, or augment a stegosaurus with robot parts!

Great toys for younger children

Fascinating games for the whole family

Manager’s Special

We are always obsessed with art, and this month is no exception – we’re getting into Pop Art! These kits from Great Gizmos are a fabulous way to make bright, punchy artworks with stencilled canvas or folded tissue paper, and each kit contains enough for four finished pieces! There are so many in the range, from flamingos to tigers to mythical creatures, that it’s hard to pick just one, so to make it a little easier we’re offering them at buy one, get one half price.

This month, come into our Brighton shop and say the secret code word ‘GIZMO‘ to get a second Great Gizmos art kit half price!

Whirligig Toys - Music Box Forest Concert 2

Competition Time

These music boxes have prompted serious debate among our staff – what’s a better place to live, a forest carnival or the back of a whale? A pirate ship or an amusement park? Under the sea or up a tree? But wherever the ideal place is, we’re all agreed – it’s got to have music. And we’re keen to hear your opinion on the matter! Just tell us – if you lived in a music box, which song would you like it to play? The best answer will be able to pick a DIY music box from our selection.
