Lockdown and home schooling has been difficult for adults and children alike, so why not bring some fun and enjoyment to February half term.

This fun 10cm tall quizzing robot lets you record up to five questions with Yes/No answers. If your friends get an answer wrong, the naughty robot will squirt water in their face – hilarious! With cool light and sound effects, you can also test yourself by playing Quizzie at two face-changing games – the tricky Memory Game and the randomly squirting Lucky Game. Can you avoid getting wet?

If you have children and you’ve never tried a colour-in tablecloth, I’m telling you that you NEED one of these in your life. We’ve had a few over the years and they are so good.
