Really Giant Posters – Indoor Activities for Kids

Really Giant Posters have created the best designed Really GIANT colouring in posters, at the lowest prices, available in the world. After wading through poster sites filled with lots of simplistic designs we decided to concentrate on bespoke and beautiful designs.

That’s why we contacted the UK’s leading artists and children’s illustrators and asked them to design bespoke beautiful works which we turned into amazing colour in posters.

Living Twig – Stick Insect Kit with Insect Lore

Is it a twig or an insect? Well, both, kind of – it’s an insect that looks just like a twig and acts like one too!

Insect Lore specialises in many innovative educational products for young learners. Our goal is to give children a friendly, hands-on introduction to insect metamorphosis, entomology and life-cycle learning. While our main focus still lies with our butterfly-related kits and educational material, we have expanded our product line to include ladybird, ant, stick insect and silkworm kits, as well as bug catchers, keepers, viewers and other exciting items for insect lovers.

Raise Indian Stick Insects from a tiny egg. When they hatch (which could take up to two months) feed them bramble leaves, privet or ivy. Watch them moult and grow into adult stick insects in their airy habitat.

Your little pets will live for around 12 months and will start laying eggs from 4 months old, so you can raise a new generation if you wish!

Osmo – Indoor Activities for Kids

Osmo’s groundbreaking system fosters social intelligence and creative thinking by opening up the iPad and Fire tablet to endless possibilities of physical play. Osmo (Tangible Play Inc.) was founded in 2013 by Pramod Sharma and Jerome Scholler, who set out to create “something awesome that inspires the youngest generation,” while at the same time addressing a concern of many parents about how to have their children interact with technology without losing the value of hands-on play.

Since its début, Osmo has expanded its family of kits and games to include Little Genius Starter Kit, Genius Starter Kit, Numbers, Masterpiece, Coding Awbie, Monster, and Pizza Co., incorporating unique characters, such as Awbie, Mo the Monster, and the Pizza Co. gang. We’ve taken the Osmo fun to new heights (while pleasing mom and dad with enhanced learning).

To date Osmo has been named one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions, is a Parents’ Choice award winner, a winner of the prestigious Oppenheim award, and a 2016 finalist for Toy of The Year.  Most Osmo games are designed for ages 5–12. For younger children, we recommend the brand-new Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit. This includes four games designed specifically for kids ages 3–5. These games teach pre-reading, storytelling and fine motor skill development.

Osmo is a smart solution for at home learning and family entertainment. Please see www.playosmo.com for more information. Osmo is sold at Amazon, Target, www.playosmo.com, and local retailers.
