First of all, a massive thank you to all of you that supported us in our first ever Pop-up Christmas shop in the Drake Circus Shopping Centre. We had some tremendously positive feedback from very happy customers, and I think we sparked a lot of excitement and nostalgia from customers of several generations.  Although we haven't yet finalised our accounts for that period, we would consider the temporary oulet a huge success, and hope that shoppers enjoyed our fabulous range of traditional and classic toys, and that it also made customers aware of our shops in Looe and Totnes, as well as our online business at www.toyday.co.uk . January Sale Offers We have some very special offers left especially for the January sales, such as our beautiful wooden tree house, along with all the woodland animal residents and furniture - we are offering these at half the RRP, a fantastic reduced price of just £49.95.

Last year the popular red and white striped character, Wally, celebrated his 25th birthday.  Created by British illustrator Martin Handford as an afterthought, that he decided to pop in to one of his scenes thinking he might be fun to find, he has now become a timeless classic. Wally has reached out to generations of children, thanks to his popular range of puzzle books that can keep you occupied for hours. The earliest version of Where's Wally was first published in 1987.  The books were published in the UK by Walker Books and in the US under the title Where's Waldo? first by Little, Brown and Company before being taken on by Candlewick Press.  Since then over 58 million books have been sold worldwide. In the first two books, Wally was the only character that could be found in every illustration.  Over time, more characters were added to be found in each scene.  These included Wilma, Wenda, Odlaw and Woof, Wally's dog. He is known as Wali in Wales, C...

Julian Beever is an English artist whose work has been appearing on pavements throughout the world since the 1990's. All his designs are drawn with street chalk and can sometimes take up to 4 days to complete! What makes his drawings so unique is his ability to create the illusion of 3 dimensions. This effect can only be seen when looking at the drawing from the correct angle. A photo then preserves the life of the illusion long after the chalk drawing has been washed away from the road. Take a look at some of his most impressive creations: Feeling Inspired?? Why not get creative and have a go yourself with our coloured street chalks ! £2.99
