A world first!   We have a new world first! Here at Toyday, we are huge Lego fans, so we could not be more excited to hear about the worlds first drive-able Lego car!   The Super Awesome Micro Project Named "the super awesome micro project" Australian entrepreneur Steve Sammartino and self-taught technology guru Romanian Raul Oaida used social networking site Twitter to "crowdfund" this unique project. This started with a simple request from Sammartino in February of 2012, asking for contributions of between $500 and $1,000 from 20 participants. In the end, about 40 people in total ended up funding the project - like us, I guess there are lots of Lego fans around the world! Test Drive According to the inventors' website, the car can reach a top speed of 18 mph and was built in Romania, before being sent to a location out in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.

As a child I would spend hours making friendship bracelets for my friends and myself but I haven't made one since the 90's. I have been trying to re-learn how to make them and thought I would share. 1. For this bracelet I'm going to use four colours as I'm just starting up and don't want to get too complex. To measure the length to cut the threads I take a length hold it up to my nose and pull it down to my finger tips, then do it again as I'm going to loop it at the top so I want one length long enough to be two strings in the bracelet. It's always better to have too much thread than not enough. I do this for each colour and after cutting them to the same length I put them all together fold them in half and tie off at the top with a simple knot to secure them all together leaving enough thread at the top to tie the bracelet around my wrist when it's finished. I have taped the loop to the table to hold the bracelet in place while I work on ...

It has become apparent to me recently that I am at that age where all my friends are having babies. Now, this suits me fine - I adore babies - I can have lots of cute cuddle time and then hand baby back when it's nappy changing time! However, as someone whose closest thing to having babies is her kitty cats, I do sometimes find it difficult to choose newborn gifts. Do I get something practical? Do I get something for them to wear that they will grow out of in two weeks time? I really hate to buy presents that aren't usable, or enjoyable, so sometimes the prospect of purchasing for a newborn can be rather daunting. I am sure I am not the only baby-free (not yet crazy) cat lady around who is in this boat, and for that reason I decided it would be a good idea to share a few of my favourites...   My favourites   Girls at play For lovely little ladies, I absolutely adore this vintage inspired "Girls at play" baby grow currently on sale in our Totnes and Looe s...
