The Djeco Silhouette Puzzle range is a collection of thick cardboard jigsaw puzzles for children. They vary in complexity with 24 piece ones for 3 year olds to 54 piece ones for 5+ years old. They have beautiful child-friendly illustrations, often with a fairytale theme. The pieces are large, two to three inches across, and so easy for children to grasp but not so easy to lose. The puzzles come in gorgeous distinctively shaped packaging but the puzzles themselves are rectangular.

This one is a 36 piece puzzle for 4 year olds and features a magician with his crystal sceptre and pet frog and spider.

Outfoxed is an excellent cooperative deduction game.  Someone has stolen Mrs Plumpert's prize pie and you and the other players have to work out which fox is the guilty one. At each roll of dice, you get a chance of finding a clue or revealing a suspect.  If you are unlucky or you make a mistake, the fox moves three steps closer to getting away.

Children like this game because it's fun.  Parents like it because it also encourages the children's logic and memory skills.

Each game takes about twenty minutes.

Age suitability: 5 +

2-4 players

Here is an excellent review on Youtube from Tom Vasel of the Dice Tower:

.

Children can play darts without damaging themselves or the plasterwork with this magnetic darts set.

Two levels of difficulty: on one side is a large conventional target with smaller targets on the rear.

Comes with six darts which you lob gently at the board.

Board measures 65 x 44 cm but rolls up for easy storage.

Age suitability: 4-8 years.
