It’s that time of year again and in a thinly veiled attempt at bribing people to sign up to our email newsletter, we’re giving away a Vilac Kitchen Playset for nothing, nada, zilch! Just head on over to our give-away page on Rollercoaster.ie and don’t forget to sign up to our newsletter (we send around one a month and it contains details of give-aways like this one!)
More about the kitchen now, though. It’s made by French toy maker, Vilac and comes with plenty of wooden kitchen accessories including pot, pan, utensils and even salt and pepper! The kitchen itself is sturdy and well built and measures 38 x 20 x 70cm. The counter height is 45cm.

We're Giving it Away!

We’ve just spent the morning reviewing the most wonderful entries for our colouring competition. Picking winners was tough so we’re sending everyone that entered a brand new Mystery Lego Mini figure!
The competition was divided into two categories, 4 and under and 5 and up. The winner in the younger category was Lauren with a wonderful display of colour. We really love what she’s done with the sun
Lauren’s entry is shown below. We also used part of Lauren’s work for our website banner… have a look in the top left of toysonline.ie and you’ll see it - well done Lauren, a PuddleDucks.ie voucher for €30 is on its way to you as well as a Mystery Lego Minifigure!

Lauren's Winning Entry (Age 3). Well done Lauren! We've also used your work on our website banner!
In the 5 and over category, we really liked Aideen’s entry. Aideen is 12 years old and we love how she’s coloured the sky blue. We love the attention to detail too (the underside of the bunny’s ear for example!). Well done Aideen, a voucher is also on it’s way to you. You’re also getting a Mystery Lego Minifigure (tell us which one you got on Facebook!
). Here’s Aideen’s entry:

Aideen's (age 12) Winning Entry in the 5 and Over Category. Well done Aideen!

The Revised WoodenToys.ie Home Page
We’ve been doing some work on WoodenToys.ie to make it a lot easier to find what you’re looking for and also to find what you don’t know you’re looking for! We also think it looks a little better, and that’s no harm.
The biggest change we’ve made is to the “Toy Finder” section. Previously, a number of searches were available based on price, age suitability and gender suitability. We’ve now upgraded this search facility to allow shoppers to combine the criteria. So, for example, you can search for toys suitable for boys between 3 and 5 years old and costing between €10 and €20. Hopefully this will make the process of finding that perfect toy or gift a lot easier! We will be rolling this facility out on ToysOnline.ie also in the next couple of days.
As always, we would be very interested in getting your feedback on our website and service. Please feel free to comment on this post and let us know what you think. We’re always looking for ways to improve our service.
