1. Cranium Hullabaloo

• Product Description: “This game is sort of like Twister meets Simon Says. Lay the Hullabaloo pads around on the floor about two ‘kid’s feet’ away from each other. The pads are different shapes and colors and have pictures and words on them. Turn on the game console and the cheerful music begins, a happy voice welcomes you to the game and then gives the simple directions you’ll need to play. “Jump on a square shape,” “Slide over to a red shape,” “Hop to a shape with an animal on it” and so on. Then it might tell you to freeze, or to put a body part on one pad, and then a different body part on another. Then, it’ll tell you that if you are on a particular pad at the end of that round, you are the winner.”

Christmas trees came to America by German immigrants that settled in Pennsylvania. It’s believed that the Christmas tree tradition started in Germany as far back as 700 A.D. Since that time Christmas trees have been available for sale in the United States. Just like many other trees Christmas trees come in many different types. Here you’ll find out about the most popular Christmas trees.

When picking out a Christmas tree you have to make sure you pick out the right size. Get one that too big then you have no room to put anything else where you place the tree and you will have a hard time reaching the higher places on the tree to put all of your ornaments. If you go to a Christmas tree shop and let them know the dimensions of your room they will give you a good idea of the shape and size Christmas tree that will fit in your room.

The top of the line tree you will find in many Christmas tree shops is the Douglas Fir. These are known to be full and usually a perfect pyramid shaped or cone shaped tree. These are the ones you will see in most movies. They are a great color and shape, with firm branches to hang your ornaments onto. Other Christmas trees that fit into this area are the Fraser, Noble and Balsam Firs.

Some other cone shaped Christmas tree shops that you see at most of your tree lots are Virginia and Scotch Pines, Norway Spruce and the Eastern White Pine. These all have short dense branches that make them great for holding lots of ornaments and other decorations. These are the ones most people have had for many of years in their house. They will usually last a few weeks after Christmas as long as you keep watering them frequently. When purchasing any fresh tree make sure to have them give the bottom a fresh cut. This will allow the Christmas tree to get the water it needs much better and help the tree last longer.

With all the great types of Christmas tree shops out there, you always have one drawback. They don’t last that long and then you need to clean up all the dead needles and toss it out. That is where the artificial Christmas trees come in. These will not only last for seven to ten years but they will also have the perfect shape. You can find them at any Christmas tree shop and they have just as many varieties as real ones. You can even get them with lights already put on to make set up a breeze. No more clean up and no more hunting around for the perfect tree every year.

Top 5 Kids Vehicles

Do you remember the day your stabilisers came off? Or that neon green trike – fitted with bell and reflectors – that the kid down the block got for Christmas? Well nowadays kids toys have moved from ace to awesome, blending nostalgic cool with 21st century advancements – here’s the top 5!

5. The Scooter: The modern-day kids scooter is a marvel of 21st century reinvention and has remained much the same for nearly ten years now. The lightweight and foldable kids favourite has not only become a staple of backyards and garden games, but has even found its way into skate-parks – much to the dismay of parents and skateboarders alike.

4. The Trike: The humble kids tricycle will always remain a popular choice and is now available with additions such as tipper trays and parent poles as standard. For the style-conscious parent, there is also the temptation to opt for a retro chopper-esque beast. Or alternatively, if you wanna see your kid hurtling around on something that looks more durable than the last car you bought, why not go for a one with actual pneumatic tires? They’re on a comeback people.

3. The Bicycle: This top five is meant to be focussing on the contraptions good for kids before they get their first BMX. Luckily, learner bikes are ten a dozen now. And how much cooler can you get before the unicycle? These wee devices vary in design from pedal-less mini-bikes with a little footboard to narrow four-wheelers that don’t need stabilisers – and lets face it, stabilisers are rubbish.

2. Ride On Toys: ‘What are you talkin’ about?’ I hear you cry. ‘Ride-able tractors aren’t cool anymore!’ True. But the diversity of Ride On Toys is huge now, from weird outdoor rocking horses without a mane or face, to the battery-less Didicar that resembles a Sinclair C5 more than anything else; as well as appearing to propel itself by magic!

1. The Go Kart: Like the Trike, Children’s Go Karts have also had a serious redesign recently. Gone are the days of Dads toiling in the garage with a piece of leftover plywood and some wheels pilfered from an ex-shopping-trolley. Authentic-looking box-cars are now readily available, along with super-duper extreme carts that pack enough menace to send Walter and the Softies to the laundrette. Go Karts baby! Even I want one for Christmas.
