Meet The Uglydolls No 1 - Ox

The clue to the name of this doll is in the Eyes! What kind of name is OX? No, not like the animal OX, as in HUG(O) and KISS(X)! How can he hug you with such short arms? OX uses his ears! He's not a very good listener, but he puts his ears to good use in many other ways! OX is great at magic, and his best trick is turning your stuff into his stuff. His best friend Wedgehead calls that stealing, but OX just wants to borrow things from you for a few hundred years. He promises to put everything back when he's done. What he wants to steal most are kisses, whether they're in the chocolate variety or just plain, and he promises to be your friend if you would lend him a hand, or an ear...or like Two Quid!

Can Gelli Baff Make Kids Brainier?

Do you remember the sand box from pre-school and nursery days? Endless hours of fun, filling buckets, beakers and other peoples pumps with sand.

Would you believe that the government have now made the sand box compulsory! As part of the new national curriculum, all nurseries and pre-schools are being encouraged to include at least 10 minutes a day of 'messy play' and even better, it's not limited to building sand castles. Teachers up and down the land are snapping up Gelli Baff and Bionic Putty for use in the classroom - who would have thought...

You can buy Gelli Baff and Bionic Putty here.

Things We Love: Number 1

We can't help loving Gelli Baff. If you've been on Mars this past few weeks, here's what you've missed.

Gelli Baff turns a whole bath-full of water into Gelli. Yes, really. Does it work? Yes, really.

Now, we can already hear the groans from parents, but...

One powder turns your bath to Gelli, and when you're done, another turns it back to water. It is amazing!

It's also incredibly kind to children's skin and cleans up without a mess.

We just love it! You can order Gelli Baff here.

Balamory Conspiracy Theory

I'm becomming increasingly concerned about the whereabouts of Buki Akib, the first actress to play Josie Jump. She vanished into thin air. No-one knows what happened to her or where she is. I have a dark theory surrounding PC Plum, Archie and a Kangaroo Court. Read the full story here.
