I-Top is the latest spinning top toy from Character Toys and comes packed full of challenges. With an electronic display as it spins it will display your last score, highest score and various images as you unlock certain numbers.
The I-Tops spinning tops coming in four colours, red, blue, green and purple. Batteries are included which is great as they are ready to go when opened. My first impression of the spinning tops was that there were sturdy well made pieces and I love the fact that the centre post folds in so they are essentially flat – great for travel, in your pocket and taking around with you.
The children aged 10 and 7 were eager to give the spinning tops a try and were soon addicted. The fact that you can see your previous score and highest score was a big bonus and incentive to try and achieve more. Each time you spin the I-Top, it shows your last score for 5 seconds then changes to your high score. There are then additional challenges, such as stop the spinner at 99 revolutions to gain a star and spin no more than 30 revolutions each alternate way 4 times to get a compass with N, E, S, W points on your spinner!
Certain numbers dictate certain images too, so managing to stop on 314 (Pi), 606 (UFO) or 777 (slot machine) for example will give you fun pictures to look at on the spinner. My children love these and we find them great competitive fun even if it’s for a few random minutes during the day. They are always lying around ready to be played with and as soon as someone has a spin, the others watch to see what score they achieve!
My 10 yr old daughter has been the most successful so far with a pretty amazing score of 653!!! Wow!!! Can you beat her? Would love to hear about any high scores you have!!
The I-Top is available directly from Character toys or also from Amazon and is a great way to bring back that childhood spinning top toy to the modern day, and one your kids will love with it’s dynamic instant light up score of the number of revolutions along with other fun images and challenges!
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
There is one red and one grey drone in the box, the same with the controllers. These have to be paired up together and we tended to pair matching colours to help us know who had which one. The remote controls require 3AAA batteries each which are included. The drones have a rechargeable pack in them that is simply charged through a micro usb cable.
Each drone has 4 propellers and the set also comes with 8 spares. There are also 10 weapons in various shapes that you can hook on to the edge to help destroy your opponents drone whilst having a battle. These are simple to hook on the edges and help to bring the other one down. The remote control is simple to use with three speed settings and four preset buttons to carry out various attacks with just one press of the button.
Here we are practicing to control the drones:
The pick up is a dark pink with a great space in the back to put the accessories during play. The doors also open and there is a driver figure who is fixed in a position to sit on the front seat. The bonnet also opens so you can see the engine.
Each front corner of the horse box reveals an opening door, on one side for the groom to get in and out, and on the other is a cupboard for storing the bridle equipment.
I think this is are really lovely playset by Schleich and lives up to all of their high standards. We do have a set of Schleich horses which we have now integrated into play with this, along with my little boys tractors and other farm sets which he loves creating a whole play scene with and taking his animals on adventures.
A fabulous playset that leads to lots of imaginative play for little ones and retails at £39.99. To see the full collection check out 
The game is enclosed within a giant plastic ball and consists of a maze which goes every way imaginable. There is a small silver ball which you have to get from one end to the other. The maze is marked with numbers along the way which you have to follow and it guides you through. There are three starting points, so if you keep getting stuck at a certain point, you don’t have to go right back to the beginning, you can step in at the second or third starting points.
To get through involves a lot of twisting and turning to balance the ball along it’s path and just a slight wobble can make the ball fall off of it’s track. The game is aimed at all ages and both my 8yr old daughter as well as us adults have all spent much time playing with this. It’s one of those things where you are determined to get further than the last person and the challenge keeps you motivated to keep trying and trying again until you succeed.
Finally they wrapped him all up and he stayed in position without any assistance, but as soon as you start unwrapping his limbs they full straight back into shape.
Some other cute looking Zelfs to look out for in Series 6 Crystal Zelf range are Cupie, High Tail, Magicella, Miss Terri, Noodles and Shimma.
