I have the bigger set of this ad my little one loves it as it is easy to put together and take apart.
on the minus side it isnt very strong when built up and keeps falling down but keeps the kids amused for a while

Wow, what a bargain! We have a h.b near us but it never seems to have half the things that people on here seem to get :(

Hope you have fun with it :thumbsup:

It is quite floppy but if it wasn't you wouldn't be able to build so many different designs. I would only use it indoors though, we built it outside once and the wind blew it apart. Might be ok for the one day of summer we get.

Definatly worth the money.

i've seen it so many times and wanted to buy it now i just think i will

what i bought to day though is a box/ crate on wheels especially for manchester exhibition 9.99 and big enough for all of the catalogues and freebies

I took my trusty shopping trolley on the train to London for Nursery World exhibition - glad I did, my arms would have dropped off. :laughing:

Wish I was going to Manchester but will have only just got back from holiday and it's rather a long way from me too :(

Lucky you! I got one from amazon last week for £20 and thought I'd got a bargain. The kids love it though so I don't begrudge paying £10 more really. However must get to homebargains and stock up for the half term hols. I usually get some good craft kits for the older kids.
