R/C Helicopters

2.4Ghz Walkera HM 60B Brushless RC Helicopter 3D Ready to Fly RC Helicopter Metal Edition w/ 8-channel WK-2801 Transmitter

For the older children R/C Helicopters is surely one of the more interesting things to play with. Not only is it badass to fly a chopper round the block but it’s also an educational toy you can learn from.
The more inquisitive teen will begin to wonder how the chopper mechanics work and maybe start to tinker with it. Especially when it crashes and something breaks you have two options – either go to the shop and get it fixed or buy the parts yourself and work on it.

R/C stands for Radio Control. The helicopter is controlled with a remote powered by batteries and is usually powered by batteries.

XHeli.com is one of the major dealers of everything in R/C Helicopters. They have lots of products and spareparts.

Our Childrens Gorilla

faces_tape_our_childrens_gorilla

Our Childrens Gorilla is a Swedish company which makes very exciting stuff for children. One of their products, “Facestape”, just won the Gold award at this years Kolla! competition (a Swedish design competition).

Facestape is tape full of black face features which can be used to make funny faces. The different motifs can be put together in all kinds of different ways.

There are three more tapes in this “series” – Ropetape, Windowstape and Chaintape. As the names might suggest these tapes are adorned with windows, rope and chain motifs.

Why not let the children decorate the box with funny faces, chains, ropes and windows the next time you are sending a package?

All four tapes are available for purchase in Our Childrens Gorillas online shop for 13,00 GBP/piece, including world wide shipping.

I would have linked directly to their products but they’ve opted for a really annoying Flash based page which makes it impossible to link to anything except the front page and it’s hard to navigate as well.
