Fancy a Transformer at home? The four-in-one
Table-Walker
may not fight intergalactic wars, but it certainly packs a punch! This
multifunction marvel made of non-toxic materials transforms, without the need for screws and tools, from a stationary play-centre,
to a walker, to a table, and then to a stool. With its cool factor and your child’s growth stages catered for (from six
months to ten years old) this eco-friendly Table-Walker can be used continually for many years, benefiting not
just the environment, but your pocket too. The Table-Walker is available only at

Designed by Barbara Lee, an
experienced American special needs
teacher,
Crayon Rocks
encourage
children to use thumb, first and second
fingers in a tripod grip as their initial
step to fine motor development.
Crayon Rocks are aimed at children
from age three, to help them start to
recognise colours, shapes and sizes.
These pebble crayons help small kids
learn to draw and express themselves
without the frustration and difficulty
often associated with stick crayons.
Manufactured in the US from natural
soy wax – which is non-toxic and
eco-friendly – and coloured with
mineral pigments, Crayon Rocks are
recommended by occupational
therapists in the US and have also
enjoyed a successful launch in Taiwan.
