    Default Active kids 2013

    Just wondering as going to email active kids if anyone has noticed the poor selection this year for the under 5's?

    whats happened to the kitchen role play furniture?
    the pirate boat sand pit?
    the role play dressing up?
    the ride ons?
    those lovely footballs with the emotion faces on?

    I have saved the last 2 years for the Fridge freezer only to discover its no longer supplied!! gah! Thumbs down

    Daft thing is my under 5's dont want salsa lessons, nor hurdles, and I cant honestly fit any more knobbly balls in!

    Are you sure they were in the Sainsburys catalogue because I don't remember seeing them!

    But I do agree the choice for under 5s is pretty disappointing.

    I've got almost 2000 vouchers & thought I'd get something really nice. There wasn't anything that really grabbed me though!

    I had the magnifying glasses one year which are still going well.

    Ribbons on glitter sticks are nice, space hoppers are quite strong (for older children). Spades, rakes and gardening equipment always good.

    I also haven't seen any role play clothes.

    This year I need some balls as my pup has killed all mine. I am also going to have the hands and feet to make tracks around the garden.
