Great toys don't stop at five — if anything, that's where things get really interesting. Our Big Kids collection is home to some of our favourite things in the shop: open-ended toys for school age children who are ready to be challenged, engaged and inspired for hours at a stretch.
We stock wooden toys for school age children from brands we trust completely — Bigjigs, PlanToys, Tender Leaf Toys, Melissa & Doug, Orange Tree Toys and Zimpli Kids among them — chosen for quality, longevity and the kind of play that actually means something. Whether you're hunting for birthday gifts for a 5 year old in the UK, Christmas gifts for a 6 year old, or something a little unexpected for a 7 or 8 year old who already has everything, you'll find it here.
The range runs from board games for kids and puzzles for children right through to arts and crafts sets, construction kits, science and nature exploration, small worlds, outdoor adventure toys and imaginative play sets. It's all sustainable, eco-friendly where possible, and plastic-free whenever we can manage it — because we believe the toys that last longest are the ones worth buying.
We're expanding this collection all the time, pushing our range up to age 9, so there's always something new to discover. Browse at your own pace — or drop into the shop in Southsea and we'll point you in the right direction.
