Whew, just back from the 2012 London Toy Fair at Olympia organised by the BTHA (British Toy and Hobby Association). What fun we had – over 250 exhibitors displaying toys and games of every shape and size you could imagine from; dolls to drums; rattles to railways and cookers to cars. We had done our homework though and focused on the toy brands we thought you would like to see in our Jack Boxes - toys that are of excellent quality, imaginative, fun, colourful and not available in large chain stores – premium brands we can pack up and deliver to your door.
All our current suppliers were there, keen to show us their new ranges for 2012. Some of our favourites were:
These Brio books that will look great on your child's bookshelf...............................but turn them sideways and they reveal a surprise of a colourful and stimulating array of puzzles.
Hape is a new brand we will be introducing – we love this baby walker, it’s got great features, but best of all it’s very sturdy so offers great support for a child learning to walk.
And Tolo continue to be as clever as ever – a toy drum that bangs, rolls, rattles and can be split to make a small drum kit. Click on the link to watch the video..........
a barn with pop ups, mirrors and squeakers............

and a clown that’s just full of surprises:

We also found some new and very exciting toy brands and are looking forward to giving you a preview of those, but that’s for later. See more photos of what we did on our facebook page.
A huge thank you to all our suppliers for their warm welcomes and enthusiasm and an even bigger thank you to my fantastic husband who looked after our children whilst we took pleasure in being children for a day.
